Spongebob Squarepants and his trusty friend Patrick Starfish must leave their beloved Bikini Bottom to find King Neptune's crown after Spongebob's boss Mr Krabs is framed for stealing it by the evil Plankton. And they only have ten days before Neptune finishes off the owner of the Krusty Krab. Can he and Patrick make it in time, especially when everyone thinks they're just kids?
if u mention the name Spongebob Squarepants to anyone under the age of twelve and odds are they'll regale you with tales of the cubically-trousered hero and his bizarre friends.
As you may have already guessed, Spongebob is something of a cult character. Those crazy Americans have even created a church of Spongebob. Maybe it's because he's such a simple soul.
"The Spongebob Squarepants Movie" combines traditional two-dimensional animation (rendered on computers of course) with brief live-action interludes and occasional amalgamations of both. The style of animation is simple and cartoonish, with no attempt at realism. Why else would the sponge hero look more like a kitchen sponge than a naturally occurring one? The backgrounds are kitsch, murky watercolours that rely heavily on stippling and spattering for texture and the characters are almost crude in their construction. There is no regard for believable musculature or any of that malarkey but with these characters that's not an issue. Real sponges don't have eyes or mouths and as far as I'm aware there are any sea creatures that wear clothes or drive cars either

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
