I really hope you enjoy this. I’ve never made a video this long but it felt great and I hope to do it more
Really hope Viacom doesn’t wrongfully copyright this like they are notorious for doing
I love you Nick

I LOVED the video Nick! It was so nice going down memory lane and remembering how amazing and heartfelt the first one is 🤧💕
wait why did the thumbnail change?
Viacom is gay and Jewish
Fun Fact: Stephen Hillenburg actually wanted the first spongebob movie to be the finale of Spongebob and honestly that would have been better in my opinion
he literally says that at 2:51
We know that yes
And it is the finale, despite SpongeBob having almost no continuity, all the episodes and other movies take place before the first movie.
After all, the movie is when Plankton finally gets the Krabby Patty formula for real and when SpongeBob gets a promotion to manager.
@@silverdamascus2023 shoot you’re right
I mean, thanks to it not being the finale, I wouldn't have watched the reruns of the old episodes as a baby
My favorite thing about the first movie is that Plankton has failed to steal a burger from a burger joint for years, but successfully stole the crown for their king/god from a highly secure castle in his first try. Love this movie, I mean that
He also stole the crown to frame Mr krabs and steal the formula without opposition. This is probably the only time where plankton felt like an actual threat and actually achieved his goals and only wants to maintain his power.
Damn Neptune’s really dumb
I guess you can say A - Y Evil Plans were failures in how he can steal....
@@osmanyousif7849 A to Y?
@@matheusmariani3108 Yeah, A to Y. You know, the alphabet.
The SpongeBob Movie (2004) gives a message of self acceptance; if you’re a goofball, no matter your age, you’re capable of doing amazing things. It’s amazing ❤
What I especially love about it is that its a more overt communication of everything Spongebob is and always was about. Every episode was about sending a message of "it is ok to be a child or do childish things" in some way or another. Squidwards entire character exists to poke fun at people who dislike childishness and to point out how immature it is to think that childishness is immature.
The movie really felt like the purest rawest core vision of Spongebob magnified times 1000. The goofy goober song felt like the most well executed and emotional pulling back of the curtain ive ever seen in a show. No more elaborate whacky metaphors and sitcoms designed to subconsciously lay the point- just a plainly delivered "Your inner child rocks. We hope you see that when you look back at all these stories we told. Goodnight." Curtain fall.
also krabby patties are vegan as per the official recipe. 10/10
1: Great movie, perfect for an intended finale, well-written plot where every single moment counted
2: Nice concept, wacky and enjoyable storyline, not as good as first one but still very great
3: spinoff ad
"wacky but enjoyable" that's not a proper statement, wacky is always enjoyable lol

@@elile8567 i stand corrected
@@elile8567Family Guy used to be good, but it got more mean-spirited overtime, the rest sucks tho!
@@elile8567unpopular opinion i think teen titans go is actually pretty okay! it's obviously for kids, and it has some.. not amazing humor, but I think the movie and, like, the first season are actually pretty good. I was shocked by how much I actually liked the movie. it's for kids and it's obviously not going for the same vibe as say early spongebob where anyone can enjoy it. it's mostly a kid thing. which actually works for ttg.
As a kid, I never realized that Dennis stepping on Patrick and SpongeBob was a callback to Plankton being stepped on by SpongeBob in the beginning.
Yep. Plankton requested it lmao
Dennis: "For some reason, he wanted me to step on you..."
Patrick: "Step on us?"

David Hasselhoff helping Spongebob and Patrick out of nowhere and it never being explained is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in an animated movie
"We rode the Hasselhoff!"
david hasselhoff was going abit too far tho in my opinion, if i were to re-write and re-animate this movie, i would've left out the david hasselhoff part and just make the bag of winds work like it's supposed to, everything else was perfect tho
@@nocontext400 how dare you
@@3Guys1Video don't know what to tell ya, that's my opinion and i stand by it. the rest of the story was flowing perfectly and then david hasselhoff shows up out of nowhere and that kinda ruins it in all honesty, and the fact that his chest (or "pecs" or whatever) works like a machine is even more cringe, i'm looking for a magical type of adventure, not just "hey here's some famous guy, lets make him appear at the very end of the movie and serve no ACTUAL purpose besides being basically a battle arena for spongebob and patrick to fight the bounty hunter on" don't get me wrong, the first movie is still easily the best, with sponge out of water being a close second, and the third one being absolute garbage and cringe, BUT they should've stopped live action characters at the "cyclops" who was basically just a deep sea diver doing his job, but made a very intimidating villain when you put yourself in the position of... well spongebob and patrick, cause they see it as "this guy is a cyclops who needs to be stopped" but we as humans would see it as just "oh hey, that guy looks kinda cool in that diving gear, i wanna try that" the one thing i didn't like much was the evil laugh that he does, even if we are supposed to look at the guy as a villain, the evil laugh kinda ruins it, that's another complaint i have (i'm talking about the random "HA HA HA HA" that he does when spongebob and patrick are running around in a glass bowl scared and confused) in my opinion, a villain is much scarier when they are just... silent, unless the type of character they are is being portrayed as the type of villain that would do that, for example: the joker (from batman) is a loud mouth, constantly talking and laughing about everything and is often seen going on a long rant about basically nothing before killing everyone, and he is an amazing character because of that trait because they made it fit perfectly, but the "cyclops" is portrayed as just this mysterious figure who at first IS silent, and that works perfectly, then they break it with the random laugh out of nowhere, i get the humming that he does when he is putting something together tho because that's what a normal person would do lol
@@nocontext400 ._. You’re thinking too deeply into this
I first saw the first movie on TV. During the scene where Spongebob and Patrick were drying out, I thought "I can totally imagine a theater full of crying children."
And then it zoomed out to all the crying pirates. I did not expect such swift vindication. One of the greatest movie moments.
The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie is much more inspired by Greek epics than its goofiness might implies. And that’s what makes it great as a movie to a TV series. I mean, King Neptune (a.k.a. Poseidon), a no-man’s land of monsters, a cyclops, Hasselhoff Ex Machina, it’s a very classic hero’s journey.
it has a bag of winds being misused like the odyssey also
*_HASSELFOFF EX MACHINA_*
Dennis is literally the most intimidating SpongeBob villain.
Hes epic and there will never be another SpongeBob villain like him.
he's also kinda fine ngl :(
Best part is him show both SpongeBob and Patrick what true man really is

Although I do agree partly with fans saying spongebob should've ended on the 1st movie, I still feel like season 4-5 and possibly 6 still had some good episodes. Gary come home felt like an og spongebob episode and this was season 4, The gags with patchy the pirate made me laugh too much as well. I'm currently rewatching the series as a whole and even though I see the decrease in quality of episodes I do think the some of the later seasons are not bad at all.
Yeah I consider seasons 4-5 worthy additions to the spongebobs.
If spongebob ended in season 3 very few would be talking about it today as they wouldn't be airing it regularity.
Season 10 episode 11 Feral Friends is actually one of my favorite episodes of the entire show. I do think seasons 4-6 were a bit cringy, but some episodes still hold up
Season 6, 7, 8, 9A is worse but there's some great episodes:
Season 6: Not Normal, Toy Store of Doom
Season 7: I ❤ Dancing, Enchanted Tiki Dreams, Love That Squid
Season 8: Squidward's School for Grown-Ups
(I think there's others)
Season 9A (Season 9 first half): License to Milkshake, It Came from Goo Lagoon
The show got a lot better in 9B and here i show you the great episodes:
Season 9B (season 9 second half): Lost in Bikini Bottom, Squid Plus One, What's Eating Patrick?, Patrick! The Game, SpongeBob LongPants, Two Thumbs Down, Sharks vs. Pods, Goodbye, Krabby Patty?, Bulletin Board, The Whole Tooth
Well that's a LOT of great episodes in 9B.
Still doesn't believe it's great, huh?
Season 10: Mimic Madness, SpongeBob's Place, Burst Your Bubble, The Getaway, Feral Friends
Season 11: The Legend of Boo-Kini Bottom, Krabby Patty Creature Feature, Squid Noir, Chatterbox Gary, Doodle Dimension, Appointment TV, Karen's Virus, The Night Patty
Season 12: King Plankton, The Krusty Bucket, Shell Games (Do NOT say this episode is a continuity error, maybe Patrick just keeps replacing his rock with the new one and it got replaced accidentally by a sea turtle.), SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout, Handemonium, Who R Zoo?, Bubble Bass's Tab, Krusty Koncessionaires
Season 13: Goofy Scoopers, Food PBFFT! Truck, Squidferatu, Salty Sponge, Ride Patrick Ride, Dopey Dick (if you think the title is gross and funny then you're not a 1900s kid), and Big Top Flop
Season 14: BassWard at the time of writing this comment, season hasn't finished airing
Agreed
The First Movie actually made me cry
In the credits
So there was this one song called "Spongebob and Patrick Confront a Psychic Wall of Energy"
I internalized its lyrics and felt how Spongebob and patrick are growing up, like me. I heard it again some years later and i cant help but to be a sobbing mess. The nostalgia just hit me so hard and internalizing the lyrics now as an adult made me understand how the movie was meant to be a finale and its time for spongebob and crew to move on.
I remember shortly after Stephen Hillenburg died, the state college in my town had a midnight showing of the movie to honor his memory and celebrate his life. My dad was convinced that we didn't need to be in a rush to get to the theater because who is gonna be watching the spongebob movie at midnight? We walked into a completely packed theater and my dad remembered that college kids 1. don't sleep, and 2. grew up on old spongebob. Of course the place would be packed. We were fortunate enough to get a seat because a guy and his two friends were willing to stand at the back of the theater and give us their seats. Anyway, that was probably one of the greatest movie-viewing experiences of my life, because nobody cared about "proper theater etiquette." When the pirates yelled out, "Tickets to the spongebob squarepants movie!" everyone in the theater just started cheering and singing along with the theme song. There were other moments like this, but the other most memorable moment was when the entire theater screamed, "DADDY, YES!!!!!" in unison. Truely a magical experience.
Oh yeah, and when the movie was done, my dad, my sister, and I were hungry so we went to a nearby cookie place that was open until 3am. Not exactly relevant, but still a fond memory
@@Queen_Of_Discord i honestly thought you, your dad and your sister were going to the Krusty krab because of that comment
I am 53 and I love watching SB with my 10 yr old nephew, but that showing with those maniacal fans sounds like something really special. I hope that my nephew always remembers SB after he becomes an adult and remembers how his Uncle Torgo still loved to have fun and watch cartoons even while being an adult. And in fact that is the whole message of the film, that one must mature and become responsible but that one should always remember to be silly and laugh from time to time.
I hope the noise the theater made could be counted on the richter scale when the bald scene happened?
@@ivanalves8506 It would've made sense if they went to a restaurant that sold sea food lol
I think part of David Hasselhoff working was that
1. It was so unexpected until
2. That Hasselhoff just seems so legitimately, honestly, *excited* to be a part of it. His happiness is contagious.
3. They embrace the goofiness of it completely.
Plus it fits the ocean aesthetic of SpongeBob
Him shooting them down into the ocean with his pecs is still the first thing I think of when I see David Hasselhoff.
@Random Task N-Word him being a dated icon really did work in his favor. It's like the kids that would go watch that movie would have parents that would know of baywatch it was perfect. I think the newer movies wanted to cater to the now adult fanbase of the show but lost the plot. Ppl would've been more excited to see tom kenny be patchy again than keanu....
It's definitely number 3 for me. He's written like a spongebob character. The hairy body, the pecs launch, and being a living arena. Not only are they great gags but the irreverence felt like he was getting in on it
@shame on you i remember watching this movie in theaters. It's mine and my dad's favorite cartoon and let me tell you; every adult in the theater busted a gut when Hasselhoff came on screen. I was like "huh?" And my dad told me about Baywatch afterwards
Honestly the final scene in the first movie leading into possibly one of the greatest end credits themes fills me up with so much joy every single time I watch it...
The worst part of camp coral is that Sandy is there. If you didn’t know, Sandy was from Texas and moved to bikini bottom for research. What is worse is that SpongeBob first meets sandy in like the third episode. Not as kids. What is EVEN WORSE is that this is in a SpongeBob movie. Plot holes shouldn’t happen in the masterpiece that is SpongeBob.
Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.
Nickelodeon should shame themselves for that retcon.
isn't camp coral implied to be a different universe or smth
@@ImNotDragoonIt's canon. But Stephen Hillenburgh wouldn't agree.

Oh, thank god!!
The heat lamp scene was unnecessarily emotional for a Spongebob film. Very well executed too
When I was a kid, it was the first movie scene I actually shed tears for. I laugh about it now, because I was so genuinely sad, I started sobbing☠️
@@nok4799 I didn’t even cry when I saw titanic for the first time 😂 and yeah, that scene made me cry!
I cried in the movie theater as a kid, and I got emotional when Nick described it
I still cry during that scene. It’s the acting too by how amazingly well it is too that does it for me. And the tear that forms into the heart. It had no right to be that emotional…but it was….
Kids deserve great content as well
It's really crazy how the last spongebob movie put in a literal gambling scene for an audience they presumed were children.
Hillenberg used the ice cream scene as both a creative censor, a fun gag, and a nod to older children and parents who enjoy the humor but understand that children should not be directly exposed to themes related to drugs and alcohol.
The ice cream scene is always my favorite scene from the first movie. It's humor is just such a creative genius way of tip-toeing around the censors and making the movie just age appropriate enough.
I would also like to give my insights to why the ice cream scene is more creative and had a lot of thought put into it. For me, that scene is a two-way representation that has different meanings to appeal to its mature and younger audiences. For us older viewers, we can clearly understand that the ice cream they’re indulging themselves into is a symbolism for alcohol and the behavior they’re putting off is an obvious sign of drunkenness from consuming too much alcohol (ice cream). It gives us a good representation of the bad effects of addiction, lack of self-control, and alcoholism in a scene that was played as a gag. But, for the younger audiences who are mostly unable to grasp abstract concepts, it plays out in a straightforward manner: Eating too much ice cream is BAD for you. I mean, it’s true that eating that much ice cream in a short amount of time is bad for your body and health. It’s able to simply show the basic ideas of bad eating habits and negligence to children and young people alike in an entertaining way. The reason why this scene works as a “scene” because it’s able to show the mature audiences its true nature and meaning while still being able to play it innocently as Spongebob and Patrick unhealthily eating too much ice cream.
Meanwhile Pokémon removes any semblace of slot machines in their remakes.
Absolutely. And it works because alcohol severely messes up your blood sugar levels. And these days sugar really has become a drug or a method to self medicate for people. Smart writing done by people who understand the world and characters and audiences not execs and corpo assbags that put dumb minion style birds in the movie. Soulless. Money driven. Makes us all worse people.
I’d argue they intended it to be a movie a family watches together. Really I see the show similarly as something intended for families to watch together. That’s what leads to creators putting in aspects both children and adults (who get the references) find funny.
That said for worse or for worse times have changed. Kids are frequently exposed to gambling in digital spaces and store fronts. Roblox literally has a job and stock market (both unregulated). Gambling is unfortunately something you can expect children to understand and they probably frequently engage in.
Rewatched the first movie again recently and as a full adult was seriously impressed with how tight the writing was! The plot line was so tight, I don’t think there were really any filler scenes at all. Not only did every moment mean something to the plot or characters, but then they packed each one with the goofiest jokes and gags that represented the beloved energy of SpongeBob perfectly. I miss Stephen so much. I hope he passed away feeling deeply proud of the amazing world he created in his lifetime
For my drama class I chose the “I am a kid” speech from the first movie for my monologue project. I also acted out the manager scene from the same movie for a different project.
It is my favorite movie of all time. And if I had to do those projects again I would 100% do another iconic scene from it
Rest In Peace, Stephen. You made me who I am and made my childhood 💜 It’s hard to see how they shit on his name in the last movie :(
It kinda feels dystopian how little support is given to new talent, and how much the big TV networks and studios in general rely on what once was good, literally ruining it because they don't understand what makes them good, and they're not willing to try, so they're pupetting a whole bunch of rotting corpses, many of which the creator is already dead.
Yeah, I mean even Spongebob's creator and Gravity Falls's creator were once new talent to begin. Why would the big TV networks suddenly STOP accepting new talent now?
@@omomori9214 These studios used to take risks in the beginning! They had to! New shows always deserve a chance and even older series were an unsafe, new thing at one point in time.
Even low budget companies are willing to do this exact thing, albeit knocking it off instead of remaking it: High Guardian Spice is a recent example of a crappy knockoff product.
@@ExtremeWreck High Guardian Spice, of course! This is the perfect storm of what you get when a kids' show like Gravity Falls does not have to obey Standards & Practices guidelines, and they get to have kids swear and teach swears to kids watching that show because the people making the show act like kids who do and say dirty stuff because they are trying and failing to be "edgy."
@@adamkalb1 Nah, it's more of a ripoff of Akazukin ChaCha & by that I mean it literally just plagiarizes many elements from ACC then turns them around a little bit to form them into stupid 4th wave feminist material as a way to not get sued for plagiarism.
It never registered to me that the name Dennis was supposed to be a lame name for a bounty hunter, because Dennis himself made the name Dennis the most menacing name ever
Yeah I was kinda confused why he said that it was a joke, but now you point it out, I do vaguely remember kinda going "heh, Dennis"
It's like hearing about some serial killer on the news and then hearing that they caught him and his name was "Nick"
@@mikethegoo imagine a slasher named keith roaming the streets at night
@@ivanalves8506
Killer Keith sounds closer to a tall tale from the old west than a serial killer
I guess when i was a little kid i wouldn’t understand dennis being a scary name. They should’ve named him like “raymond” or “kyle”
@@mikethegoo Make it Sylvester instead
Honestly, Stephan Hillenburg's idea of the show ending at three seasons would've worked well. The first three seasons are the best in my opinion
Season 4 is fine too
The fact that Nickelodeon ended the third movie with “In Memory of Stephen Hillenburg” after shitting on his legacy like that, is not just disgusting. It’s evil.
Except that’s not what actually happened. Context is important
I like how even though they failed to save Mr. Krabs they recognized that they made it to Shell City. They didn't necessarily win, but they did what they set out to do. They proved themselves and they embraced that. They didn't wallow in their failure like other stories would have done. I also like the message that you can be young at heart and still be a capable person.
Of course. Just don't be a man-child. And people who can't be childish every now and then are boring anyway
it's SUCH a good encapsulation of spongebob's character too. i love when series finales push their characters to their absolute limits either physically or mentally because that's often when we get to see the truest version of them.
"What everyone said about us is true Patrick."
"You mean that we're attractive?"
yeah most other kid's movies would be like "aww man i was 2 steps away from winning but i didn't win so i'm gonna complain now" which basically teaches kids the wrong way to go about things, you can't win them all, and even if you lose, have fun with your failure, don't just be like "waaaaaahhh i lost" just be like "ok then"
the thing that really insinuates this is the fact that they were happy they even got to their location is how they won. If they hadn’t cried that tear of joy they would’ve never got out of the situation
When Hasselhoff came running onto the scene. My mom burst out laughing in the theater. Even she loved the movie when she brought me and my sister. I have watched the 1st movie more times than I can remember and like to admit. A true masterpiece for a children's movie.
Not just a childrens film but just a film in general
agreed. my mom loves television and HATED spongebob because of the annoying nature of the characters. i get that she's older and not all older people like spongebob but, she LOVED this movie and some of the older episodes or first episodes you could say because of the adult humor present in the small 10 minute 2 part episodes. i got my mom into tons of kids shows on nick as a kid and even Disney like icarly, hannah montana, drake and josh, that so raven etc. and tons more i'm not naming because she loved that bonding moment with me and my older brother when he was still into kids television. i loved the fond memories of the early 2000's and even early 2000's tv and i don't think new kids tv will ever hold up in my opinion.
I remember being so excited when the Sponge Out Of Water movie was finally released to DVD since I had never seen it in theaters.
I remember just sitting in anticipation throughout most of the animated scenes, just waiting for the moment the characters would be dropped into the live-action real world.
When the gang finally ends up on the surface (I had no idea this was the last twenty minutes of the movie) I was like "oh yeah here we go this is happening I'm ready for this"
When they return back to Bikini Bottom, I was literally SO confused. Like "Wait, we're back home? That quick? That doesn't feel right."
And then the credits rolled shortly after.
Honestly I love Sponge Out of Water. I love how not-seriously the movie takes itself with the dry humor, though that is definitely a preference for people, but the Live Action segment definitely holds the movie back. It's clearly just to latch on to the Superhero movie craze that was big at the time.
Agree, I'm a Spongeboomer and I was actually very surprised at how quality the animated half of the movie is. The live action part is meh but it wasn't enough for me to say the movie wasn't enjoyable. I honestly thought it was better s4-5 which is where I stopped watching Spongebob on TV.
well, spongebob turning him and his friends into superheros DOES make sense for his character due to him being a big fan of mermaid man and barnacle boy
The fact that the first movie single-handedly managed to turn Dennis into a menacing name is is a testament to its cultural impact
tbh I always thought it was an unspoken reference to "Dennis the Menace," an extremely popular character from the 1950's. Maybe just a reference for the older crowd.
IMO it made the joke hold up even better that they simply called him "Dennis"-- he didn't need an epithet to tell us he's a menace!
@@sonictimm same, I thought it was also a reference to Dennis the menace.
And then Always Sunny came along
Dennis is also “sinned” backwards
I don't even see his name being Dennis as a joke
The part where SpongeBob and Patrick are laying there dying and singing the song that has represented their childish fun and optimism throughout the movie acknowledging that it was that optimism and friendliness that has gotten them as far as they made it all while accepting their death and celebrating that triumph in their final moments, literally, unironically, makes me cry everytime without fail. I love it so much. This movie legit gave me a life lesson I cherish to this day and has made my life legitimately all the better for it.
that part still gets me in tears lol
@@aguy138 same, literally every time i watch this movie and get to that part i start crying into a pillow
When I seen it in theaters I think I cried too😭 not even joking I remember wiping my face after they came back to life
It’s sad and funny at the same time I laugh while crying sad tears
I shed a tear for that in this video. Not when I first saw it though, but I may have been too young to really... Yeah connect or relate to it... That and I have kinda been raised with a relative mindset. I don't cry over stuff easily, yet I do it a little more easily nowadays than when I was little...
When you made a point to talk about how funny the first few seasons of SpongeBob were, that rang deep within me. I just rewatched season one and I literally was uncontrollably laughing the whole time.
I'm German and therefore watched the first movie in German and the synchronisation is SO good, IMO even better than the original in some scenes! So, even international, the voice acting is great and plays into the greatness of this movie!
In my eyes, the original SpongeBob movie will always be the true ending to the SpongeBob franchise. It's absolute perfection in terms of storytelling, character portrayal, musical numbers, references and humour - as opposed to its successors, who treat the audience like 5 year olds (the lame jokes and the over-explaining of jokes).
Not to mention, "Ocean Man" is a banger of an end theme.
Totally agree, but small correction:
"predecessors" means that the movies came before, "successors" means that they came after.
If you're talking abt the moves that came after the first Spongebob movie I think it's more accurate to use successor
@@LancesArmorStriking but doesn’t ‘successor’ also mean the better version of something in the past? The 2 movies after the original weren’t nearly as good as the first.
@@CountryOfFinland No successor means the next thing in succession or the thing that follows. It has the same root as sequence or sequel. So successor is the correct term not predecessor.
@@CountryOfFinland success and successor are two different things, and regardless predecessor still doesnt work
@@LancesArmorStriking oh shit you're right lol
One thing I really like about the 1st movie's animation is the fact that the art style doesn't stay consistent since it is hand drawn. It gives spongebob and everyone else more life to their design
Yeah same goes for Seasons 1-4 of the show.
@Morbius 🅥 🤓
& Anim3
The first movie I have watched so many times, I always cry at the end no matter what... it's such a well crafted movie it's ART it really is
I remembered that I can cite the entire episode by memory for my dad as an adult , he and my siblings love watching the old spongebob because of how memorable and iconic they were than a soulless and forgettable latest season/spinoffs we have today.
Mr. Hillenburg was always be one of the genius writers and a certified ocean man in my childhood.
Growing up I never considered the SpongeBob movie the "ending of SpongeBob" but I can really see how it's a fitting end to the character. That movie was a banger and I loved it and still do
Hillenburg considers it the canonical finale
I wonder how everyone would react if the franchise ended with Spongehenge.
I mean... You can technically put it after the "last" episode of SpongeBob and it would work, since the whole show is so episodic and the only extra detail in the movie is that this is, in fact, Plankton's last plan (plan Z)... It would technically be the very last idea he has, after which SpongeBob becomes the manager and everyone lives happily ever after. (unless, of course, a future episode mentions the plan, the time the crown got saved or the fact that SpongeBob is the manager or isn't anymore. But I don't think I would consider that episode Canon)
If I knew the first movie was supposed to be the end I would've cried, I was 8 when I saw it in the theater and even back then I felt like there was something special about the ending.
@@mikethegoo I don't consider the modern episodes canon
In case anyone is thinking all the praise is nostalgia-based, I teach high schoolers, and they never quote or joke about anything Spongebob-related past 2005, which is before any of them were born. They weren't even aware there were movies besides the first one until I told them. It's actually kind of bonkers to hear them quote the same jokes I did as a kid. They are also aware of what happened with Hillenberg and do not appreciate it. Hillenberg gave kids a lot more credit than studios do now.
The first couple seasons of Spongebob, as well as the movie, were, and still are, amazing. Every now and then me, a friend, or a family member will make a reference from older Spongebob and the rest of us will understand immediately. I need to rewatch the first few seasons again someday...
i never really liked spongebob as a kid, yet those live action scenes are literally some of the only things i remember from my childhood
@@inrodu_1027 Me too. I was more of a Sonic fan really & Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog fitted that role of randomness to me.
I'm surprised high schoolers even know the first movie tbh
Nick recently had a top 20 SpongeBob moments they were all from the first four seasons
SpongeBob and Patrick accepting their death never fails to put tears in my eyes

Yes, SpongeBob is Nickelodeon's property; they technically have the right to do what they want with the show, even after Stephen has died; but what they've done is disgusting
SpongeBob is Stephen's baby; he raised it; he saw it grow up; and he believed the first movie was a perfect finale, wanting no more of show and certainly no spin-offs
Nickelodeon is a bubble-blowing double baby

That’s why I believe every tv show/movie/series needs a PROPER ending. Better to end it on a high note than to awkwardly drag it out of its resting place for the rest of eternity.
Sponge on the run was a depressing watch. All I could think during the credits was “This isn’t the SpongeBob i grew up with”. The franchise is completely unrecognizable.
Yes, it should have stopped.
No wonder it was dumped in Netflix
I do love the animation style of sponge on the run. But I hate the story.
this is depressing of what nickelodeon is doing
Yup. I realized that in Sponge Out of Water. It was so subpar seeing it in theatres. I didn't even see the 3rd movie. Never will.
53:17 you are acting like you know him personally this is so funny
Doing homework for 15 minutes: ❌
Watching a hour-long TH-cam documentary about the downfall of Spongebob movies: ✅✅✅
Fun fact: This movie was the first time I heard the word 'depression'.
same lol
That's one of the good bit too. From "I'm ready, promotion." to "I'm ready. depression." is so good.
Same
Of course the second movie doesn't capture the magic of the first one, but I still find it incredibly entertaining and overall not a terrible movie at all. I used to watch it very often so I remember a lot of it by heart. If I had to choose between the two I would pick the first one, simply because it's just better. I'm not even gonna talk about the 3rd one it was ridiculously bad.

17:11 I know I'm super late but this moment just might have been the very first time I got sad in a movie in my whole life. Like, as a little kid I was literally bawling my eyes out.
The SpongeBob SquarePants movie is genuinely an amazing movie. It’s a well thought out out movie with a well thought out plot. That was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I don’t even remember the last time I watched SpongeBob because of what it’s become :/
Despite how flawed sponge out of water is, I always love Plankton and Spongebob interacting with eachother, to me Plankton always felt like the perfect foil to Spongebob as a character, and I loved them being forced to work together in this movie.
"U is for U and me"
"N is for anywhere and anytime at all!"
“Down here in the deep blue sea!”
“F is for fire that burns down the whole town”
"U's for URANIUM. BOMBS."
The second film had its moments and the computer animation was the only redeeming quality in the third film, but the first Spongebob movie will always be the best out of all three.
Agreed... Unfortunately
No the second movie was flawless.
@@icecreamhero2375 agreed. The second film does a better job at having all the main cast interact. I also like it when plankton teams up with the others as well.
@@icecreamhero2375 I also disagree with people saying that spongebob is more hyperactive and dumb in the newer episodes. I’d argue he was probably at his most goofy during season one, and in later seasons they actually tone him down, and make him the straight-man when interacting with patrick. To be fair it is true that he DOES often act dumb and hyperactively in the newer episodes, but i’d argue this is more just sponge-bob being written inconsistently, rather than his character changing much in any specific direction. You can cherry-pick sponge bob being dumb, or smart in any season.
The sequel was just plot recycling
I havent seen THE spongebob movie since I was probably 8 or 9 but I remembered every scene as you showed them. Really made me want to rewatch the movie as an adult 😭
Because only one SpongeBob movie was ever made.
_There are no other SpongeBob movies._
Agreed
I really recommend checking out the musical. it’s the last spongebob project hillenberg was on, and everywhere that sponge out of water fell short, the musical succeeded. the characterization, the creativity, the beautiful setting, the visual gags, it’s all there. tina landau, david zinn, and the rest of the team managed to create something that felt more like a a cartoon than the recent ed movies with live humans onstage, and more like spongebob than anything past season 4. it’s even full of hillenberg’s own environmentalist views, and I really appreciate that as well. it’s a masterpiece and deserves so much more recognition than it’s gotten
Kamp Koral was his penultimate project related to SpongeBob
@@joshuaW5621 sorry, you’re right. i just remember fighting tooth and nail before that info came out (and around the kamp koral discourse) that the musical was 100% hillenberg-approved, so my memory of the kk discourse is much more focused on the musical than anything else. either way, he worked w the directors n got to see the bway premier
Big agree! the musical could honestly be considered a third film in place of kamp koral. it has similiar heart to the first film and a satisfying end
YES
I watched the musical through TH-cam (somehow it wasn't deleted) and was astounded with how authentic it felt. The characters seem to start off how they do in the animated series, but then subtly go off into their own interpretations and you're just fine with them. Great songs too.
The worst part about Sponge on the Run is that Steven Hillenburg never wanted any spin-offs for SpongeBob. That’s why they waited until he died to make it
He already knew about camp koral they ANNOUNCED it after he died it was in the works for years
Then they put an in memoriam smh in disgust
1. He worked on the movie
2. He never said he didn't want any spin-offs
@@ShamrockFreddyGamer died while being made, and most definitely said no spin offs lol.
@@phunnyguy9382 source?
While modern SpongeBob has its moments, the original seasons are literal gold and the highlight of my childhood. The movie would’ve been the PERFECT finale.
-Planktons greatest plan is foiled with Bikini bottom safe and sound
-SpongeBob accepts who he is and regains his confidence
-Saves the day and becomes respected/accepted by his peers dispote his silly nature/immaturity
-He gets what he wanted the whole time
-Cue Ocean Man
Absolutely perfect sendoff.
R.I.P Stephen Hillenberg, thank you for such a legendary series that made so many kids smile.
You and your series deserve better than this.
It breaks my heart every time I see a SpongeBob clip wether intentional or deliberate and I’m reminded that the SpongeBob franchise/show had died. You would’ve thought a show like this would’ve had at least two solid movies for the fans but it was too short lived and now Stephen is gone…I don’t ever see this franchise being the same especially after over 20 years and that thought alone eroded a part of my nostalgic childhood spirit 😢🖤
Nick calling 2015 the “early 2010s” feels really weird
Thats mid-2010s lmao
Yeah
I don’t know why people get confused with the early 2010s with the mid 2010s. Or even getting mixed up with the 2000s and 2010s. It’s just strange.
It technically was
@@eko9554I usually remember them based on popular trends that I've seen. The early tens had neon colors and flashy designs, which gradually transitioned to native indie designs, plaids, then retro aesthetics near 2015, and eventually the trends of ombre blue and purples/galaxy and opal texture designs as we approached 2020. After 2020, you'll connect certain trends with certain events.
Man, the tear scene is so good. Not only is it emotional as heck, it's also a really funny way for them to go out because they're literally being dried out by a heat lamp to become gift shop accessories. But before the kids can get too sad over it, you pull out to see the pirates breaking the fourth wall, both calling back to the framing device of the film and also actively being like "Wait, it's a movie! They can't die, there has to be a way to save them!"
It's just such a fun way to balance the tension in a kids comedy. You get your emotional heartfelt darker moment, but you also manage to pull out in a way that doesn't ruin the stakes and alienate the audience. You've already been told it's a movie, so when it's re-established it's like "Oh, right, this is the framing, and it's really funny that this is how they're handling it." It keeps the energy going and keeps the tone from getting too dark while still giving you the catharsis of seeing the heroes actually get out of this mess in-universe.

Disrespecting Stephen by apparently finishing the movie he was a producer on and worked on? Lol...
The first movie is one of my favourite animated movies of all time, the second is worse but I still have some nostalgia for it, the third though, just awful. The nerve of Nick to put a tribute to Steve Hillenburg at the end of it when it’s clear they are glad he’s gone so they can milk the franchise dry.
Edit so on twitter I'm seeing people say that he did in fact work on the movie and that the statement of him being upset at Nick for putting a Thank You message is wrong. Also apparently he was a part of Kamp Koral as well, so never mind I guess just ignore what I said at the top. It doesn't make Sponge on the Run or Kamp Koral any better products though.
Calm down that's not what happened at all
@@anonymouslucario285 it is tho

Fun fact: Stephen Hillenberg actually worked on the 3rd movie but he passed away before it could finish production so I think Nick changed the way to get Gary by adding a Ad, Fun right?
Thought for a second that with Nick you were refering to the channel instead of Nickelodeon
i wish stephen was still here to see how many lives he's changed and inspired. rip to a legend
He knew to the grave.
he always knew, also ig keeping him alive is bad idea because he might died because cringed so much at the recent movie from baby he take care of
When he passed, he took the heart and soul with him.
I have a feeling that he's known that for years now.
The thing is, the first movie in all of its perfection, has no choice but to be the offical ending of spongebob, and it was because PLANKTON got what he wanted, yes he got arrested in the end, but plankton actully DID get the formula, he was selling krabby patties, and knows the secret, his lifes work was brought out to an end, even after he was arrested, he is complete, and yes hes a genius, hed get out of jail faster then the joker. So the battle is actully over, even after mr. krabbs wa proven innocent.
This film is the true ending to SpongeBob. Of course there are some good episodes that came after, but this Movie encapsulates everything the first few seasons were. Just genuine funny humble humor. Absolutely perfect. Highlight of my childhood watching the show and this film countless times.
So in summary:
Watch the SpongeBob Movie if you want a grand finale to the golden age of SpongeBob and a ultimate send-off to those versions of the characters.
Watch Sponge Out of Water if you want the most unabashedly wacky, over-the-top, and looney SpongeBob story of all with no pesky cohesive plot or decent payoff.
Don’t watch Sponge on the Run.
Correction:Watch sponge on the run if you hate yourself
At least the Kenny G Gary Come Home cover in the credits was good

Ween's "Ocean Man", Wilco's "I'm Just a Kid", hell even The Flaming Lip's "Spongebob and Patrick Confront the Physic Wall of Energy" just feel like perfect ending songs for the series
Ween's album 'The Mollusk' is actually one of the original inspirations for the show - some of their lyrics were even hidden in the early episodes!
Wait, ocean man actually played at the end? Either I never watched further than that moment where the song started, it isn't in the Dutch version, or I have last seen it so long ago that I don't remember it playing due to not having been memorable enough for my child mind to remember other than that one meme I later saw where someone sang it in a very shitty way, which, I thought was just "haha funny, ocean man because spongebob", or that it was just an edit of the actual song when it played, not part of the actual movie...

As an 06 kid, SpongeBob for sure should've ended after the movie. I had the original three seasons on DVD and it didn't get better than that.
I liked Sponge Out of Water, too. I understand people's problems with Sponge On the Run, and I think that movie deserves all the hate it gets, but Sponge Out of Water I feel deserves more praise.
Did anyone notice planktons plan “z” was actually also plan “N” for plan Neptune? They wear the same symbol around their necks if you look the “z” looks purposefully stretched to look like an N

I’ve always noticed that but didn’t put the other pieces together
Plankton miswrote his own plans 💀
nickelodeon has gone too far with stephen this time
What bugs me the most about the third movie is the Kamp Koral shift. It feels weird to say that I care about the timeline and such of Spongebob, but it felt wrong to see a baby Sandy that knew Spongebob when she was young when early in the actual series is when Sandy arrives and she and Spongebob meet. And also how Squidward and Spongebob somehow in the same age gap in Kamp Koral when it’s very obvious when Squid’s very much more older and more mature. It feels like they wanted to just gas out Stephen’s dream and literal lifelong work to make a cheap, horrible looking spinoff, because if Cartoon Network can make Total Dramarama (I don’t watch that either simply because of the same reason of ruining it by baby-ing things), then we can get our most important name a baby show too.
One of the reasons thet make these dumbed down versions for little kids is because modern day parents are soft and dont let their kids see any shows with something as simple as two characters disagreeing because it is "violent media hurting child development" this is also why we will never get a scene like spongebob saying don't drop the soap ever again.
spongebob and sandy meetup bugs me the most

Looking into the background of SpongeBob's origins, SpongeBob was very unique in how it originated. Stephen Hilllenberg was a retired, creative marine biologist trying his hand in the art world, while Tom Kenny was the veteran in the cartoon industry who knows the audience. Kenny's role is often overlooked, but sometimes you can see where each of them influenced the show more. 90s cartoons were known for having very chaotic characters in a chaotic environment, whereas SpongeBob had some chaotic characters in a weird, but calm environment. There was also a focus on lessons from Hilllenberg's side. It feels a bit like each episode STARTED with a lesson then went from there, and they weren't in-your-face about it too. You had no clue SpongeBob helped teach you everything from confidence, to making friends, taking tests fairly, dealing with rivals, sympathizing with those you hurt, and being friendly and fun. You won't find that in modern Spongebob and especially not intermediate Spongebob. The humor was also very unique that isn't tried so much anymore. Instead of being in-your-face like standup, they were more "sudden". A joke could be dropped in an otherwise normal conversation (Spongebob starting off paying Mr. Krabs $100/hr to work at the Krusty Krab). That feels like Kenny's work, as other shows he loves or worked on had LOADS of stuff like that, though Spongebob was much more tame. Man I love the writing of Spongebob.
No Patrick, mayonaise is not an instrument...
If SpongeBob SquarePants just ended at 60 episodes and a movie, do you think SpongeBob SquarePants today would still be as popular as Avatar: The Last Airbender which had the same number of episodes and seasons? Because that was a completely different type of Nickelodeon cartoon from Spongebob. Because I believe Spongebob's unusual longevity is what helps to make it stand out more from similar 1990s Nicktoons such as Rocko's Modern Life or Hey Arnold! or CatDog. It is what gives Spongebob an edge with another long-running 1990s Nicktoon, Rugrats.
@@adamkalb1 I wouldn't mind SpongeBob still living but my main problem is that the new episodes are so terribly bad that it just makes keeping the show alive not worth it anymore. And the worst part is that it's never going to end because of the massive amount of money it makes for Nickelodeon, and so SpongeBob will continue to go down an endless downward spiral while Nickelodeon keeps spitting on Hillenburg's grave.
I also don't like how they keep making references to older episodes of the show in newer episodes. It's nice but it just makes you want to watch the older episodes again and go back to SpongeBob's golden age. Why salvage these cute little nods to when the show was good for a few seconds, when you can salvage it longer by watching the *GOOD* episodes that the nods came from?
these videos are so fucking good i cant even explain. i tear up everytime i watch these vids like holy shit keep it up i love this its so good
i’ll always be so thankful that the only seasons of spongebob i watched as a kid were 1-3. i’m so glad i got to experience the perfection of those seasons without them being sullied by everything that came afterwards
The first movie is a certified classic and will always be remembered fondly by fans.

And for me…
This is where SpongeBob’s story ended. It had the perfect sendoff for his story and him finally getting the credit he deserved. It also had a very touching message for kids that even though they are kids, there’s nothing wrong with that. That you are more capable than you give yourself credit for.
And I despise to this day that they continued on with SpongeBob after this and ruined this perfect ending to the series.
Even as a kid I knew for a fact that spongebob dying was a fake out and still cryed and even now still do as an adult. That's how good the emotional weight is.
its sad because they realized that they finally made it to shell city even though they were dying
Also THEY thought that those very moments were their last, so they spent em happy
The first movie reminds me of a quote from C.S. Lewis: "When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to act very grown-up."
Lewis plagerised the prophets super hard

@@MRTN_theboy probably the best title
In defense of sponge out of water, the main reason that by the end of the movie all of the characters remain the same as what they were at the very beginning is because unlike the first movie, they knew that the show would still be going on. The first movie was intended to be the end of SpongeBob, that’s why it has room for dramatic character growth. but it also has loose ends like the fact we never see the Krusty Krab 2 ever again. Realistically Sponge Out of Water couldn’t do anything to the characters that would change the dynamic and canon of the show. And i personally think the did a good job for the most part(I 1000% agree that the humor and pacing has decreased in quality) However there is enough charm in the movie for me to accept it. And I’m happy that we got this movie before Stephen died as it celebrates the show even while being limited in what it’s aloud to do.
This is more than I could ever say for sponge on the run.
Fantastic Video, keep making more quality like this.
bro it's spongebob who cares about the continuity and cannon of the movies? Animes that take their lore extremely seriously even have non cannon movies, so I don't see how this is by any means an excuse for sponge out of water. foh with that
Genuinely couldn’t agree more, sponge out of water has been one of my favorite movies for a long time and this comment encapsulates why I still think it’s good
I thought that exactly
I must disagree. Cannon really hasn't been a big concern of Sponge Bob tv show. Even if this was a concern they could have still given the charters better arks while keeping continuity.
To give my 2 cents, I like the movie. It gives me some chucks and I enjoy its surreal elements (shifts in art style, and odd concepts like bubbles the dolphin and the book) however I do wish it come together better. Meany of the elements feel disconnected, with plot lines and Ideas being dropped or being reintegrated in tinny ways. I with it had more focus but as it stands I enjoyed the movie and I wildest mind seeing it again inspire of my grips.
Yea Sponge On The Run is garbage
" I LOVE BEING PURPLE! " and " MY EYES! " never gets old.
The first SpongeBob movie is a true classic
The Spongebob Musical is also something I would recommend watching. The plot, acting, songs, writing, and props were so well made and put to their best potential.
As someone who performed this at my local Community theater I highly recommend it. The songs are great and the comedy is peak SpongeBob. It felt like a slightly snarkier version of SpongeBob.
The spongebob musical is way, WAY better than a stage musical based on a TV show has any right to be. Its so good
I love the first movie, at the age of 20, i still tear up when they "die", and it still feels so good when he sings Goofy Goober
Me too, watching it as a kid I think it was the first movie that made me tear up and I wasn't even a big spongebob fun because it didn't really play on the tv where I lived.
Dude I'm 1 year older than you and that heart tear scene still gets me, it's even worse as an adult because it makes me miss being a kid and watching SpongeBob...I can still rewatch it again but I will never get back the old days I once had before stress came along and I realized how cruel the world really is

The funny thing is steven spielberg worked on the third movie.
Dude tbh, I’m not just saying this because I may be younger than you, but to be completely honest, I LIKE the second one MORE, no joke, it’s one of my favorite movies that I can’t stop watching, I feel like the first one isn’t bland, isn’t bad or anything, it just didn’t really feel like SpongeBob, which is why I think most may like it, because it felt more like a movie, but it felt kinda different than a regular episode, and it focused a lot on other characters, like the king and stuff, but it was hilarious, yes, but I think another reason I like the second one more is because it was just all over the place and had a ton of cool stuff, one of them mainly being that they are in real life which made for a ton of funny parts, and it still felt like regular SpongeBob, and didn’t change anything, it didn’t JUST feel like a long episode, because it had 3D animation, superpowers, more Plankton (who is my favorite character), and all the characters. That’s my opinion.
i respect your opinion
Honestly I love both movies but I agree, the second one is better tbh
funny cause when people say 'second spongebob movie' my brain tries to divide by zero. I'm like wdym there's only one lol
I watched this with my son at his insistence because he really liked the movie. I try not to let my own adult feelings complicate his world view too much, but my wife and I couldn't restrain ourselves from voicing how disgusted we were with Nickelodeon dragging Stephen's life's work through the mud. I honestly don't think I've ever enjoyed a movie less, the top-tier animation made it even worse, honestly, because all that hard work went into making a world bereft of the joy Spongebob had brought to me since I was six years old.
I’m glad sum Adults see it at the wider view
But… Stephen made the movie? He left SpongeBob sometime after, this whole operation was HIS idea, not theirs. He considered this to be the true end of SpongeBob, and was not a fan of them continuing for so long. You can be mad at SpongeBob going past the movie, but leave Stephen’s series finale alone.

There's something I'd like to add onto the heat lamp scene: When Spongebob is talking and Patrick keeps saying "Shell City" Spongebob keeps talking until he says "Okay Patrick, now you're seriously starting to bum me out." Which implies that he STILL held onto his childlike enthusiasm and optimism even in the face of death. And then, as you said, once he realized that they had made it, they accept it.
That sudden shift from weary optimism to acceptance and sad pride to reaching their goal is brilliant in a way I can't do justice with words. I love the first Spongebob movie, and God bless the soul of Stephen Hillenburg, what an absolute legend.
