"The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out of Water"

 
 

Welcome to this very special bonus review of a movie that I was able to see in the theaters over Mothers' Day Weekend (2015). And that movie that I was able to see was The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out of Water. Now, before I get into this, I would like to tell you about my relationship with Spongebob (no, we are not romantically involved). But, like a lot of people, I grew up with the show. Spongebob first debuted when I was 6 months old (in 1999). For those that suck at math (like me), I am 16. But, anyways, I grew up watching Spongebob quite regularly growing up. However, around 2008 or so, I sort of lost interest. Part of it might have to do with the show's creator Stephen Hillenburg leaving the show around that time. But, granted, that was also around the time that I started losing interest in my other childhood shows on Nickelodeon such as Fairly Odd Parents and Jimmy Neutron, but that's a story for another day. Okay, let's begin.

BACKGROUND

Well, unfortunately, I didn't have much time to research this, so this background I'm going to keep blank. But, my friend, Jen did do a very good blog about the show's history http://jenspalik.blogspot.com/2015/01/why-i-love-spongebob.html

PLOT

Now the plot of this movie is roughly about the “crabby paddy's” secret formula being stolen by a pirate called “Burger Beard”.

OPINION

Well, for the first time in about 7 years, if felt like “spongebob”. This is a feeling that I haven't felt since 2008! But, they found a way to do that. Part of the reason may be because Stephen Hillenburg is back to write the script for the new movie. But the movie was fresh, funny, and it kept the spongebob brand of humor that was missing in the newer episodes. But, some people might be disappointed that there wasn't enough live-action scenes as the trailers implied. Most of the movie was set in the Bikini Bottom, and the animation is the same-old animation that we see in the show. They don't even go onto the surface until the last half-hour. So, most of the animation in the movie is hand drawn much like we see in the show, and not CGI. But, when they finally do go to the surface, that's when the CGI kicks in. Now, is that a bad thing? Well, no, if you're a big Spongebob fan. If your not, then you shouldn't be watching this movie in the first place. I was going to give the movie 4-stars, but as a Spongebob fan, I am proud to bestow this movie the highest honor that I can give - the covetted 5 STAR rating. Goodnight, and Bee Happy!™
