Animated series SpongeBob Squarepants is popular with both young and old audiences. Children respond to the curiosity with which SpongeBob views the world, while adults respond to the absurd non sequiturs, subversive timing, and almost poetic punchlines.
The opening fantasy scene of SpongeBob SquarePants's first feature-length adventure compares Mr. Krabs to a svengali-like movie producer who is set to launch a sequel to his eatery, the Krusty Crab. The identity-affirming struggle of the series is continued in the movie, with SpongeBob and Patrick traveling to Shell City to obtain the Krabby Patty recipe and reclaiming Bikini Bottom by donning Chum Bucket-shaped hats.
A 90-minute comedy, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, maintains the goofy tone of the television series. It doesn't feel crammed with characters, unlike the more recent Wild Thornberrys and Rugrats flicks. SpongeBob and Patrick are the main protagonists, with Squidward, Sandy, and Gary.
On their Odyssey journey, SpongeBob and Patrick are taunted by monsters with multiple personalities, but they learn their lesson and finally things get back to normal. With his unbelievably short attention span and timeless innocence, SpongeBob experiences every voyage as though it were his first time seeing the world.
