Based on the global phenomenon created by Stephen Hillenburg, the SpongeBob SquarePants movie franchise expands the nautical nonsense of Bikini Bottom onto the big screen. Blending traditional 2D animation, CGI, and live-action sequences, these films follow the optimistic sea sponge and his friends as they face apocalyptic threats, travel to the surface world, and explore the true meaning of friendship and courage.
