This is the full movie for "Square Roots: The Story of Spongebob Squarepants." It was only available in parts, so I decided to upload the full thing! Enjoy! :) #WTFU
Amen to that. SpongeBob SquarePants was a must watch show back when I was in elementary school during the early to mid 2000’s. I remember even going to the movie theater to watch the SpongeBob SquarePants movie back when I was a kid.
Devastating loss, but we are so fortunate to have the show not only to remember him by, but to be shaped by. Spongebob defined my generation's childhood, we can't even escape it in memes. But none of us are bitter about that, we all love Spongebob. RIP
Stephen Hillenburg was a wonderfully talented cartoonist, animator, storyboard artist, director, producer, and writer. Ever since I was 7 years old, I thought SpongeBob SquarePants is the heart and soul of Nickelodeon. This delightful and creative show told fun stories with charming characters that learned smart messages about being caring, devoted, self-accepting, and cooperative while highlighting the importance of being a friend to others and having a positive outlook on a situation. When I was in 3rd grade, my buddy Devine Baker and I always dreamed of being writers and actors on SpongeBob SquarePants. It will be a very long time before Nickelodeon meets another visionary as fantastic as Stephen Hillenburg. Rest In Peace. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family and friends.
SpongeBob is to Nickelodeon as Pikachu is to Pokémon. I’ve been watching SpongeBob ever since I was really little, so like 3. I’ve practically grown up with it
I was 7 or 8 years old when I saw in Nickelodian magazine the two new shows coming in 1999, Rocket Power and SpongeBob. I thought “the one with the skateboarding kids is going to be great, the other one looks stupid.” Never been so happy to be wrong. If you have avoided SpongeBob because it looks weird then you truly missed something special.
@@benrosenberg3489 yeah i remember that show ..not bad....but NOTHING like spongebob ...i cant believe it's been on since 1999 and has what 21 seasons or so?...love how it can be creepy or gross or whatever, adult humor at times so parents wont be bored but still remain family friendly( not just says they are)..reminiscent of ren and stimpy , and other cartoons of the like, from thay era...the 1st few seasons alone are award-winning...thank you stephen h. and may you rest in that big pineapple under the sea, in the sky....
I'm glad they acknowledge that part of the show's success was really how it was Steve Hillenberg's baby and brainchild. That's really why the seasons without him aren't as good as the ones he was directly involved with. I kinda wish they'd gone a little more into the backstory of Spongebob's creation, just the Jerry Lewis influences.
Thank you Steve, even without you, you managed to create an immortal masterpiece that made and makes grown ups and child's laugh. We all hope you'll be happy up there.
it’s crazy because fast forward to now vs. however many years ago this documentary came out and spongebob has not only kept the same staying power, but created a whole new one in our generation remembering it through memes and reflecting on the good times in the past. my friends and i still put on seasons 1-4 like they just came out yesterday. i feel really blessed having been able to grow along the glory days of this show.
RIP Stephen Hillenburg. Thank you for creating such a pure, lovable, and genuinely fun cartoon that not only managed to surpass Rugrats as Nick's most popular show in its first year alone, but somehow managed to create an icon of American culture on par with the likes of Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Mario, and Homer Simpson, yet is somehow more relevant than any of them combined over 2 decades later. You will always live on in our hearts!
Can any female cartoon characters be just as big of an icon if they are not created as a property pigeonholed into "girls'" cartoons? How popular, as cartoon characters, are the Powerpuff Girls or Squidina Star or the six ponies from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic? Even though that show was aimed at girls, many people of both genders liked it.
The part where the officer screamed who lives in a Pineapple under the sea? And all the criminals are singing the spongebob theme song made me laugh so hard.
Watching this on May 1st 2024. Exactly 25 Years after the pilot, Help Wanted Aired. SpongeBob SquarePants is one of the most important things to ever happen in my opinion. Stephen Hillenburg created something that will continue to touch generations for years and years to come. It’s great to see the show continue through new seasons, spin offs, movies, video games.
17:33 I almost cried with delight seeing a man I grew up watching play the most fearsome, cold, loathsome characters, pull a jaunty face and chuckle like a pirate 😂
I remember being 7 years old waiting for the first episode to air. Nickelodeon had been hyping it for months leading up to it. The Bubble Stand was the episode.
Just came in from jelly fishin' before watching this. Then bought the complete seasons box set. Up there with Twin Peaks to be known as best TV show of all time.
I loved Spongebob Squarepants for many years. When I was 5 years old, I remember the first episode I watched was the Lost Episode (Sponge could Fly) back in the 2005-06 year (my special ed teacher put that VHS on). After about 10 mins, I fell in love with the show (as a 3-4 yr old, I was not a big fan of the episode). After about 2 years, I slowly got used to a lot of episodes. Even when I was 8 years old, I started imitating a few quotes from the episodes that were so inapporpriate (i.e: Sailor Mouth episode with the swearing). My parents told me not to watch that episode again. 2 years later, I was in a Oakland University summer camp for autistic kids. Out of nowhere, my summer camp workers decided to put a Spongebob episode on. Guess what, it was the Sailor Mouth episode. I almost went into the hallway because I was not interested in the episode. Then I continued watching several other episodes ranging from Season 1 to I believe Season 8. I loved those episodes. I actually kept my mouth shut and didn't bother imitating quotes from the episodes (after a nice talk from my parents years prior). A few episodes were kinda sad and heartbreaking (i.e: Spongebob episode "Dumped", and then the other one "Gary's Toy."). Then I believe in late May of 2013, I stopped watching Spongebob all together because I was kinda growing "too old" for that show, and also stopped watching several Nickelodeon programs all together. -Parents who have kids from 5 to 8 years old, do NOT allow your child to imitate quotes or bad language from their characters (at home or at school). 😊😉
Steven hillinberg is truely an idol for young animators and writers. He spent years comeing up with the idea of this show, all inspired by his own personal interests, he refined every character to be loveable and relatable to anybody, and he didn’t even know it until he got it out into the world.
What they don't say is that Steve originally wanted the original movie to be the series finale, because otherwise, he feared the show would "jump the gun". But Nickelodeon already had numerous more episodes in production, and Steve left the show because of it until the second movie in 2015.
Im surprised no other nicktoon done this. I still miss Steve hillenburg and i never met him sadly but at least i still have Joe Murray to look forward too. I still love spongebob to this day
2:07 Just like Sonic is the anti-Mario, SpongeBob is almost the anti-Mickey, SpongeBob is one of the cartoons that is part of my life, that of my mother, my cousins, and almost everyone, Happy 25 years of spongebob 2:53 and we miss you, Stephen Hillenburg, Thank you for being part of my childhood.. 💛
Gosh i watch the first episode when i was 5. And so on i still watch this show. Hopefully if i can be a guest for the voice acting. My grandma got me vhs tape of the episodes.
At 19:46, Tim Conway says his name used to be 'Betty' but he had to change it because of being ;in the business', but I can't find anywhere online where is his name was Betty. Can anyone else help me with this? Was he joking or is this information he's only dropped this once, and then completely forgotten about since it's in a Spongebob Documentary that only aired a few times on TV?
If you're coming here from NickTendo, this is the part you're looking for: 28:09 The use of ukulele when showing footage of Fox News' homophobes is great, like they're trying to be "unbiased", as was the policy at the time, but deep down they were telling you "get a load of these guys".
ThePumpkinKing 216005 There is a musical version of SpongeBob the Broadway cast recording is on streaming platforms like Apple and I have to live on stage version on my Roku TV me and my ex-boyfriend we were going to go see it before this pandemic happened
How many of you would think SpongeBob SquarePants would be a Family Show? I say it's a family show in my opinion. But also of course, I say SpongeBob is one of the Greatest Nickelodeon cartoon ever!! I give SpongeBob Two big Thumbs up, he's a winner, Chicken dinner!

there will never be anything like the 2001-2004 spongebob mania and i am so happy i was able to grow up during and be a part of it.
I was in high school at the time and the sheer amount of merch was amazing. My room was tastefully sponge-tastic.
Yes. I was born in 96
I was born in 1998, which was the year before SpongeBob SquarePants premiered.
Now I’m extremely jealous lol that sounds like a *dream*
Amen to that. SpongeBob SquarePants was a must watch show back when I was in elementary school during the early to mid 2000’s. I remember even going to the movie theater to watch the SpongeBob SquarePants movie back when I was a kid.

We need to travel back to 2001!
the old SpongeBob episodes were my favorites when I was a kid
@@PerrythePlatypusFan98 same
I bawled when I heard of Hillenburg's passing. He left behind one hell of a legacy and so many smiles. Through that, he lives on.
Same here...
To honor his memory I will continue watching Spongebob forever
R.I.P Ernest Borgnine (A.K.A Mermaid Man)
Wait Mermaid Man Too?!
And Barnicle Boy too...
And now Tim Conway as well.
It’s hard to believe this special came out ten years ago. 20 years now and Spongebob is still ongoing. !! Thank you Stephen Hillenburg
10 years ago?... 🥺 Wow.
Rest in peace Stephen Hillenburg
He was our ocean man and our hero
RIP Stephen Hillenberg. Thank you for creating one of the greatest childhood memories ever.

I swear almost every episode of Rocket Power felt like "Squirrel Jokes" with a slightly different scenario
Rest easy. He made a big part of our childhood ❤️
Same. Obsession when I was six.
RIP Stephen Hillenburg.
Thank you for making my childhood, there will always be a Spongebob in me.
@Elmer Martinez Damn right, riding to school on my JD Bug, grinding Runescape, and watching nothing but Spongebob. What happened to life...

Robogabriel it would have bored the kids/viewers if they went into detail
But wut about sponge bobs sexy girlfriend 2:32
I disagree the later seasons are still funny
Thank you Steve, even without you, you managed to create an immortal masterpiece that made and makes grown ups and child's laugh. We all hope you'll be happy up there.
32:03 Those tattoos are genuinely so badass

I hope this new generation of kids will enjoy The Patrick Star Show nearly as much as Spongebob Squarepants.

I tear up at all these videos and documentaries. Thank you Mr Hillenburg
Rip stephen tim and ernest. You are all together now
4:19 has some great points about why SpongeBob's character is so unique/impactful!
This is the best SpongeBob documentary I’ve ever seen. I’m so proud to be a super fan of this show, even if my parents don’t get it...
🥺❤️
@Elmer Martinez_Gaona shut up
💯 agree 👍
SpongeBob SquarePants is the Icon of my childhood
@@aaronnoid9366 yup same with ash ketchum and pikachu.
"they are an ensemble that you can just milk endlessly" ;_;
Oh it's even worse now in 2021 with the stupid Kamp Koral spinoff directly disrespecting Stephen Hillenburg's wishes!
@@darkrider962 i like these recognizable shapes and colours
My exwife made fun of me for watching this cartoon when it first came out. Key word here is Exwife, thank you, good night everyone.
It just makes my day that the voice actor for mermaid man looks almost exactly like the character (apart from the torso shape of course!)
The part where the officer screamed who lives in a Pineapple under the sea? And all the criminals are singing the spongebob theme song made me laugh so hard.
I always thought criminals were just normal people.
@@summerjonztime stamp?
kind of saw this, but man it sucks the creator has ALS. :(
IcyTea ALS?
IcyTea all the bad shit happens to good people
IcyTea I
@0Jmpc 6 how so?
Today he died
Watching this on May 1st 2024. Exactly 25 Years after the pilot, Help Wanted Aired.
SpongeBob SquarePants is one of the most important things to ever happen in my opinion. Stephen Hillenburg created something that will continue to touch generations for years and years to come. It’s great to see the show continue through new seasons, spin offs, movies, video games.
they failed to point out that adults can relate to squidward. and now the kids who grew up with spongebob has turned into squidward.
for real, squidward hits different when you grow up lol
I’m glad I’m a Spongebob fan, been watching it and been a fan since the spring of 2002. Still watching it and still a fan since.
PrinceofPop8 same I’ve been watching it ever since it first aired in 99
I've been watching SpongeBob since 2006.
Been watching sence 2012 I saw the golden age in reruns
Thank you for the upload I wanted to see this when it premiered but I missed it because my mom shut down cable.
RIP Stephen you will always be in our crazy little hearts :,(
Thank you so much for uploading this gold
R.I.P. Stephen Hillenburg and

Gone, but never forgotten.
17:33 I almost cried with delight seeing a man I grew up watching play the most fearsome, cold, loathsome characters, pull a jaunty face and chuckle like a pirate 😂
I'll never forget watching this when it first aired and seeing the ending of this... (Boy, I'm glad that's over! 41:58)
RIP Stephen Hillenburg
Rip Stephen, I just hope you know many days you brightened, smiles you shaped, and childhoods you made
SpongeBob is one of my favorite nickelodeon shows it’s so funny I can’t believe that SpongeBob is still on the air
Rest in peace.

RIP STEPHEN HILLENBER Thanks for the laughs
I remember being 7 years old waiting for the first episode to air. Nickelodeon had been hyping it for months leading up to it. The Bubble Stand was the episode.
Thank you Stephen Hillenburg for creating the most greatest character in history! RIP Stephen Hillenburg
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this is the true 10th anniversary special
Stephen hillenburg was such a gem 💎❤️
Just like the classic cartoons like Scooby Doo bugs Bunny and more cartoons

Thank you Stephen Hillenburg you literally made my childhood come to life.
This made me so happy and this made me cry multiple times
A moment of scilence for a good man who created spongebob
Steven hillinberg is truely an idol for young animators and writers. He spent years comeing up with the idea of this show, all inspired by his own personal interests, he refined every character to be loveable and relatable to anybody, and he didn’t even know it until he got it out into the world.
I love this!!!
If there was one person I wanted to meet, it was Stephen Hillenburg. What an impact he made on lots of lives. R.I.P. Stephen Hillenburg...
I wish I could’ve met him, too. I suppose the next best thing is Tom Kenny.
What they don't say is that Steve originally wanted the original movie to be the series finale, because otherwise, he feared the show would "jump the gun".
But Nickelodeon already had numerous more episodes in production, and Steve left the show because of it until the second movie in 2015.
Okay I gotta admit I loved the SpongeBob clips they put during the gay part
Lol
Agreed 😂
@Elmer Martinez_Gaona shut upppp
Thanks for the movie, my First 100 Episodes bonus disc got scratched
Thank you Stephen
Im surprised no other nicktoon done this. I still miss Steve hillenburg and i never met him sadly but at least i still have Joe Murray to look forward too. I still love spongebob to this day
No other nicktoon did this but no other nicktoon reached this level of success. Spongebob is by far the most successful and popular nicktoon.
2:07 Just like Sonic is the anti-Mario, SpongeBob is almost the anti-Mickey, SpongeBob is one of the cartoons that is part of my life, that of my mother, my cousins, and almost everyone,

Was that Puffi Ami Umi singing the song in the beginning? They’re a popular Japanese rock band, and they made the teen titans song
Nope, that's Avril Lavigne.

If you're coming here from NickTendo, this is the part you're looking for: 28:09
The use of ukulele when showing footage of Fox News' homophobes is great, like they're trying to be "unbiased", as was the policy at the time, but deep down they were telling you "get a load of these guys".
Thumps up if you're ready for the spongebob musical
I mean someone made an Anime so there should be a Musical or two
ThePumpkinKing 216005 There is a musical version of SpongeBob the Broadway cast recording is on streaming platforms like Apple and I have to live on stage version on my Roku TV me and my ex-boyfriend we were going to go see it before this pandemic happened
