SpongeBob SquarePants is a series of live-action/animated adventure comedy films based on the Nickelodeon animated television series of the same name. The films are produced by Nickelodeon Movies and distributed by Paramount Pictures. The films feature the regular television voice cast Tom Kenny, Bill Fagerbakke, Rodger Bumpass, Clancy Brown, Mr. Lawrence, Jill Talley, Carolyn Lawrence, Mary Jo Catlett, and Lori Alan.

Plans for a film based on the series began in 2001 when Paramount Pictures began approaching series creator Stephen Hillenburg for a theatrical feature. He initially refused their offers, but began developing it in 2002 upon completion of the show's third season. Hillenburg directed the film, titled The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, which was theatrically released in the United States on November 19, 2004, to critical and commercial success. It was originally planned to act as the series finale, but the series success led to the production of more episodes. Sponge Out of Water, directed by Paul Tibbitt, followed in 2015. A third film, Sponge on the Run, was directed by Tim Hill and released in 2020.

As of February 2022, four additional films were announced to be in development, including a fourth theatrical film, titled The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, set to be released in December 2025, and three spin-off films being developed for streaming release on Netflix and Paramount+.

Production

[edit]

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie

[edit]

Nickelodeon and Paramount Pictures had approached SpongeBob SquarePants creator Stephen Hillenburg for a film based on the show as early as 2001, but he refused for more than a year.[25] He was concerned, after watching The Iron Giant and Toy Story with his son, about the challenge of SpongeBob and Patrick doing something more cinematically consequential and inspiring without losing what he called the SpongeBob "cadence."[25] He said, on a break from season four post-production, "To do a 75-minute movie about SpongeBob wanting to make some jellyfish jelly would be a mistake, I think [...] This had to be SpongeBob in a great adventure. That's where the comedy's coming from, having these two naïve characters, SpongeBob and Patrick, a doofus and an idiot, on this incredibly dangerous heroic odyssey with all the odds against them."[25] The writers decided to write a mythical hero's quest for the 2004 film: the search for a stolen crown, which brings SpongeBob and Patrick to the surface.[26] Of the plot, Bill Fagerbakke (the voice of Patrick) said, "It's just nuts. I'm continually dazzled and delighted with what these guys came up with."[27]

Production on the first film began in 2002 after Hillenburg and the show's staff completed the third season.[28] A tongue-in-cheek announcement of the film's plot from early on stated that it would feature SpongeBob rescuing Patrick from a fisherman in Florida.[28] This was intended as a humorous reference to Finding Nemo and was later confirmed by Tom Kenny (the voice of SpongeBob) to be a "joke" plot to keep fans busy.[28] Hillenburg wrote the film with five other writer-animators from the show (Paul Tibbitt, Derek Drymon, Aaron Springer, Kent Osborne and Tim Hill) over a three-month period in a room of a former Glendale, California, bank, and also directed and produced the film.[25] Osborne said, "It was hugely fun [...] although it did get kind of gamy in there.".[25]

The first film was intended to be the series finale; Hillenburg wanted to end the franchise after the movie was completed so it "wouldn't jump the shark". However, Nickelodeon desired more episodes due to the franchise's growing popularity.[29] Hillenburg stated: "Well, there was concern when we did the movie [in 2004] that the show had peaked. There were concerns among executives at Nickelodeon."[30][31] As a result, Hillenburg resigned as the series' showrunner,[32] appointing writer, director, and storyboard artist Paul Tibbitt to succeed him.[33] Hillenburg still remained involved with the series, reviewing each episode and submitting suggestions.[32][34]

The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water

[edit]

In 2010, The New York Times reported that Nickelodeon had approached the show's crew to make a second film.[35] The network hoped to give itself and the global franchise "a boost" by releasing another film.[36] The Los Angeles Times reported that Paramount had "another SpongeBob picture" in development in March 2011.[37] Philippe Dauman, then president and CEO of Paramount and Viacom, announced on February 28, 2012, that a sequel film was in development and slated for a late 2014 release.[38][39][40] Dauman added that the film "will serve to start off or be one of our films that starts off our new animation effort."[38] Nickelodeon expected the film to do much better in foreign box office than the 2004 feature, given its increasingly global reach.[36][41] Dauman said, "This will continue to propel SpongeBob internationally."[36] Production on the second movie was announced on June 10, 2014. Stephen Hillenburg returned to act as the film's executive producer,[citation needed] and contributed to the story of the film.[42]

The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run

[edit]

In a February 2015 interview discussing The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water's success at the box office, Megan Colligan, president of worldwide distribution and marketing at Paramount Pictures, stated the possibility of a third film was "a good bet."[43] In another interview, Paramount vice-chairman Rob Moore remarked, "Hopefully, it won't take 10 years to make another film," in reference to the time passed between The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (2004) and its 2015 sequel.[44] Later in 2015, it was revealed that Paramount was developing sequels to its franchises, including another SpongeBob film.[45]

The film was initially scheduled for release theatrically in 2019,[46][47] before being delayed to 2020.[48] The film later had its theatrical run cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and instead released on video on demand and Paramount+.[4] The film had an exclusive theatrical run in Canada on August 14, 2020, and premiered on Netflix three months later in international countries. By January 2016, Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger had been hired to write the film.[49] In April 2018, the film's official title was revealed as The SpongeBob Movie: It's a Wonderful Sponge, and SpongeBob co-developer Tim Hill was announced as director and writer for the film.[50][51] On November 12, 2019, it was revealed that the film's title was changed from It's a Wonderful Sponge to Sponge on the Run.[52]

Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie

[edit]

In March 2020, it was reported that ViacomCBS would be producing two spin-off films based on the series SpongeBob SquarePants for Netflix.[16] In May 2021, a spin-off film with Sandy Cheeks as its lead character was announced to be in development from Nickelodeon for streaming television, to be directed by Liza Johnson from a script written by Kaz and Tom J. Stern and described as a hybrid feature that will put the animated title character into a live-action setting.[53] In August 2021, it was revealed that plans to film Saving Bikini Bottom in Los Alamos were scrapped due to rewrites of the script.[54][55] In February 2022, during its investor call, Nickelodeon CEO Brian Robbins said that they would be working on the three character-driven spin-off films and would release them exclusively on its streamer Paramount+, with the first one premiering in 2023.[17] However, in April 2023, it was reported that Saving Bikini Bottom would instead debut on Netflix in 2024.[15]
