A joy to behold from beginning to end, this filmic adaptation of the beloved television show is considered by many to be the point at which the series essentially ended - as it marked the initial departure of the founding creative team - but it thankfully lived up to, and indeed exceeded, the expectations set by the first three seasons to become an incredibly funny, beautifully animated and effortlessly charming tale of everyone's favourite pineapple-dwelling sea sponge. 'The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (2004)' is not only hilarious and incredibly smart, working both for kids and adults alike, but also surprisingly emotional and more-than-competent from a story stand-point too, becoming one of the most lasting and memorably smile-inducing animations of the twenty-first century. It's endearing, rib-tickling, smart, side-splitting, laugh-a-minute stuff. 7/10

When I was a kid, and discovered Spongebob, I immediately fell in love with the show. The first three seasons of the TV show were absolute comedy gold! When the movie was released, I was so excited to see Spongebob on the big screen! I saw it, and it has now become one of my top 5 favorite animated movies of all time!First up, the characters. The characters that we all know and love from the TV show, are here in full force. The dynamics between Spongebob and Patrick are absolutely hilarious. So many memorable one-liners, my personal favorite being Spongebob saying, "you don't need a license to drive a sandwich." While some of the characters, like Sandy and Gary, receive only cameos, the new characters are just as, if not more, entertaining. King Neptune and Mindy were great additions, as were Dennis and David Hasselhoff. All in all, every character is great!The plot of the movie is very creative, as is the environments. So many memorable locations: The Krusty Krab 2, Thug Tug, The Trench, Shell City and Goofy Goobers to name some of them. The plot of Spongebob and Patrick traveling to Shell City to return Neptune's stolen crown was so much fun to watch. Not to mention, this was the first time (not including the episode Pressure) that we got to see Spongebob and Patrick on the surface, interacting with the real world.The animation in the movie is top notch. While hand-drawn animation might not look as realistic as 3-D animation, I have always appreciated still seeing hand-drawn animated films. The expressions with the characters are great, as are all the character designs.In conclusion, The Spongebob Squarepants Movie is an absolutely amazing animated film that will surely not be forgotten. The characters are great and memorable, the plot is fun, the animation is great, and all the comedy jokes hit! I would highly recommend seeing this movie if you have not. The Spongebob Squarepants Movie absolutely gets a 10/10!!!

The Spongebob Squarepants Movie (2004) is good, well made movie family adventure movie. The movie, like the show, is humorous in many places, I will say that the show's humor is funnier than the films, but there are other things that the movie has that make it entertaining. The characters in the film are the exact same as the show, if you are familiar with the show, then you know exactly what to expect. The plot is perfect for family viewing. The plot revolves around spongebob and Patrick going on a grand search to retake King Neptune's crown. Unfortunately for them, plankton is Of course trying his best to ruin things for them. The animation in the movie is well constructed and is better looking/sharper than the TV series. I enjoyed the adventure aspect of the film, and I also think that families with young children will enjoy that too, it keeps your attention and it is all done in a very fun way. Some people have complained that some parts are too crude, such as Patrick baring his butt, or him saying "you're hot" to Mindy, but honestly I think that's pretty minor and I don't see it as much of a problem when it comes to family friendliness. David Hasslehoff makes an appearance here, in a way he is spongebob and Patrick's saving grace at the end. His performance is fine, it's silly and it fits in considering the type of film this is. Overall, this film is very fun and enjoyable for the whole family.

The SpongeBob movie is amazing and funny and has a great story in it. It's about SpongeBob who learns to believe that he's really a kid instead of an adult. Of course SpongeBob is an adult that acts like a kid and that's what's special about him cause he has a childhood like personality. Now in this one scene of the movie we see SpongeBob and Patrick get drunk....on ice cream!? Now that's something to put in a kids movie like this. Two best friends getting drunk on ice cream. lol. You might even say that the ice cream that SpongeBob and Patrick were eating had butter rum flavor in it. lol. Now the whole plot of this story is that SpongeBob thought he was gonna be the new manager of the Krusty Krab 2, but the job was handed over to Squidward cause Mr. Krabs says that SpongeBob is just a kid and that he has to be a man to be manager. SpongeBob gets very depressed and heads down to Goofy Goobers Ice Cream party boat with his friend Patrick where they get drunk on ice cream. Meanwhile Plankton steals King Neptunes crown and frames Mr. Krabs and the crown is sent to the forbidden Shell City. When SpongeBob see's Neptune about to fry Mr. Krabs he asks if he would be the one to get the crown back and Neptune doubts it until Mindy asks him to give SpongeBob to get the crown back so Neptune sends SpongeBob and Patrick to come back with his crown in 6 days and freezes Mr. Krabs for until then. Then SpongeBob and Patrick go on a long road trip to Shell City in the Patty Wagon. On the way they run into a thug who takes the Patty Wagon and decide to walk the rest of the way. Meanwhile Plankton steals the Krabby Patty formula while Mr. Krabs stood frozen and starts selling Krabby Patties at the Chum Bucket. He also sends an assassin to get rid of SpongeBob and Patrick from getting the crown. His name is Dennis by the way and is voiced by an actor that I don't like very much. Alec Baldwin. That guy is a man baby. Meanwhile SpongeBob and Patrick find their car and they try to get the key out of the bar it was parked at and manage to do it. Elswhere Squidward discovers that Plankton was selling Krabby Patties and was about to turn in Plankton until Plankton starts turning everyone in Bikini Bottom into slaves with brain control helmets. Now this was the only time that Plankton did something so big and evil cause throughout the show he is just trying to compete with Mr. Krabs and his plans never usually work. Meanwhile SpongeBob and Patrick deal with an angler fish that uses ice cream as bait and their car gets eaten by it and they stop at deep dark dangerous hazardous monster infested trench. Then they decided to go home until Mindy comes and tells them what's happened back in Bikini Bottom. Then she gives them fake mustaches and they go into the trench and out of it until they run into Dennis. Dennis was about to squish them with a big cleat until he gets squished by a bigger boot which was owned by a horrible cyclops who takes SpongeBob and Patrick to Shell City which was of course a souvenir shop. A fishes worst nightmare. They were being dried up into nick knacks until they are saved by the tear of the Goofy Goober and they come back to life and then all the other fish in the shop started coming alive and they attack the cyclops. Then they tried get back home with a bag of winds but they lose it until David Hasslehoff comes to the rescue and gives them a ride back to Bikini Bottom. On they way Dennis comes back to finish the job until he gets knocked off Hasslehoff by a sail boat. When they got back they fall into a trap set up by Plankton when he puts a mind control helmet on King Neptune. When SpongeBob, Patrick and Mindy were about to meet their doom, until SpongeBob saves the day with the power of rock n roll. Then everyone is free from Plankton's mind control devices and Plankton is sent to jail and everything returns to normal in Bikni Bottom. Also SpongeBob becomes the new manager after Mr. Krabs realizes that he doubted him and he won't make that mistake again. Great and amazing here and just before SpongeBob started going down the toilet.
