Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • After Neptune thinks that Mr. Krabs stole his crown, he threatens to burn him. But when he gives SpongeBob a chance to get his crown back, he instead freezes Mr. Krabs for the time being. However, he unfreezes Mr. Krabs at the end of the movie.
  • SpongeBob kids fans would be disturbed by the scenes in which Plankton has turned various characters into reprogrammed robots that celebrate him and build monuments to him and serve him. Characters such as: Squidward, Sandy Cheeks, Mrs. Puff, Larry,... are among those slaves. Those whose favorite characters are SpongeBob these listed will be disturbed by this.
  • The whole scene where Patrick and Spongebob are held captive in Shell City, waking up in the fish bowl, and then being taken to a heat lamp with a sheet, drying out to be made into "smelly knickknacks" can be pretty frightening and emotional. However, they are revived after the tear of the Goofy Goobers causes an electrical shortage on electricity, activating the fire sprinklers above to completely bring them back to life.
