SYNOPSIS

SpongeBob and his Bikini Bottom friends set sail in their biggest, all-new, can’t miss cinematic event ever…The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants. Desperate to be a big guy, SpongeBob sets out to prove his bravery to Mr. Krabs by following The Flying Dutchman – a mysterious swashbuckling ghost pirate – on a seafaring comedy- adventure that takes him to the deepest depths of the deep sea, where no Sponge has gone before.

We saw the film recently. While we will publish our review closer to the film’s release date, we can share our initial thoughts with you. Our editor, Phil Roberts, had this to say about the film:

Derek Drymon’s #SpongeBobMovie is another hilarious rollercoaster ride of insane genius.

The stunning animation and well-placed hijinks perfectly complement the brilliant voice performances of Tom Kenny, Clancy Brown and the scene-stealing Mark Hamill!

I myself had a whale of a time with the film, saying:

#TheSpongeBobMovie is a completely bonkers, nuts, charming and often hilarious family animated movie that is bound to become the must see family film for Christmas.

With @MarkHamill as the Flying Dutchman, the film is superb.

Terrific entertainment
