  • Thanks for asking my opinion on this movie, critic! It was great to get a chance to chat about Spongebob with you 😃
  • This movie actually has a pretty good message. Never feel like you’re too old to keep doing what you love to do.
  • Very fun fact: In the Dutch dubbed version, they keep Hasselhoff's voice in English, and even make jokes about it.
  • @Delta_Aves
    7:15. Another fun fact: sea sponges can live for up to 500 years, so at 45, SpongeBob is still technically a kid.

    Personal story: I auditioned for a stage production of A Charlie Brown Christmas. The audition required us to use a monologue from a children’s show or movie. I used the Goofy Goober speech for my audition and went all in on it. Everyone laughed their heads off and soon after that, I was cast as Pig Pen. And that’s the story of how SpongeBob got me my first paid gig.
  • One of the most underrated collabs, we finally get to see the best of both critics abilities.
  • To this day, I still can't get over how emotional the scene with SpongeBob and Patrick drying up to death was. It was so heartbreaking and tragic to watch, and yet it was executed so beautifully, that I could not look away even when I had so many tears in my eyes.
  • The fact that Scarlet Johansson loves Ren and Stimpy makes me love her more
  • What I like the most about this movie is that when SpongeBob and Patrick head to Shell City and everything gets gloomier, yet they're still acting like kids.
  • Another Fun Fact from this amazing film that we all love so much is: David Hasselhoff's part was written before the actor was even approached. He readily agreed without reading the script, largely at the behest of his daughters.
  • @KittySnicker
    The ONLY Spongebob movie for me. I love how it’s a classic hero’s journey with plenty of humor and heart. I first watched it when I was 12.
  • I love this collab because unlike most NC collabs where it's usually the guest who has to adjust to the Critic's style like Todd, Lindsay, or Brad; here, it's the Critic who adjusts to Strider's style.
  • Another Fun Fact: This is the first time Karen is seen as a computer monitor on wheels. She was later shown like that in the television series after the film's release.
  • I love how Chaplin is just perfectly looking at where he is when he teleports. A small but fun detail
  • @samfilmkid
    I remember being ten years old, the absolute HEIGHT of Spongebob fame, this was the biggest movie in me and my friends lives. We all had this sense that once the movie was over, there'd be no more Spongebob and a chapter of our childhoods would close forever. I remember just sitting in the theater through all the end credits, something I had never done before, not crying or anything but just kind of like watching the sun set and accepting "Well, adios Spongebob." And then...well, y'know.
  • @HoChiMints2007
    That death scene. Holy shit Nickelodeon had the absolute balls
  • I love how Nickelodeon Movies didn't just make one masterpiece that came out in 2004, they also made A Series of Unfortuante Events.
  • @geminiguy6032
    "No one sees this as a masterpiece..." The boldest take I've ever heard from a Spongebob Movie reviewer.
