Despite some of the past animators and artists from the series returning to work on this movie, the fast and manic motion of the 2D series doesn’t translate well to the stylized stop-motion feel.

Because of Spongebob’s exceedingly high popularity and the huge monetary haul from the previous movie, Viacom commissioned a third movie that feels like it was completely constructed by a committee. Now we’re at Sponge on the Run, which represents the Viacom era. Following the movie, Tibbitt stepped down as showrunner in 2015 and executive-produced the show until 2017… yet, Spongebob never ended. Afterward, he briefly worked on a few episodes and executive-produced the series until his untimely death in 2018.
Hell, even Hillenburg returned as a story writer for that film. Say what you will about Sponge Out of Water, but it introduced a ton of memorable jokes - ones that poked fun at the apocalyptic setting before Mad Max: Fury Road was even released. It was a silly, irreverent romp that boldly stuck to its 2D animation roots, especially when the animation industry was solely making CGI movies. This brings us to 2015’s The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, the standalone sequel that represented the end of the Paul Tibbitt era. Then, because of greed and popularity, Nickelodeon demanded more Spongebob but Hillenberg wanted to move on and pursue other opportunities, so he enlisted Paul Tibbitt –– one of the original storyboard directors on the series –– to run the series, which he did from 2005-2015. It encapsulated everything seasons 1 through 4 built towards and wrapped up Hillenburg’s series with a perfect little bow. In the eyes of many OG Spongebob fans, it was the definitive end to the series. It was his passionate, personal sendoff to his baby, which was initially supposed to be the bookend to Spongebob Squarepants. Visually, it’s a beautiful piece of work that should definitely be commended.Īnd… that’s the only redeemable quality from this offensive turd of a movie.Ģ004’s The Spongebob Squarepants Movie represented the end of the Stephen Hillenburg era. I want to make this abundantly clear: The only positive comments I have about this film solely go to the animators who worked tirelessly on it. The film prospers from its bright, colorful art direction, especially when Spongebob and Patrick hit the film’s major set piece, The Lost City of Atlantic City, which is pretty much just an underwater version of Atlantic City. You can see Spongebob’s pores, Sandy’s fur, Poseidon’s scales, etc. The close-up character shots reveal great attention to detail regarding textures. I admire the bold and experimental decision to have the film move more like a cartoonish stop-motion project than your standard CG-animated movie… you know… like Scoob. From the character designs, set designs, and even the cartoonish expressions, the Mikros team did a fantastic job making Spongebob’s world 3D while maintaining the show’s signature style. Sponge on the Run adopts that same aesthetic. It’s the same style that Blue Sky Studios incorporated into The Peanuts Movie. This is the same animation studio that did Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie a few years back, which benefited from an art style that translated the 2D-based designs of the source material into a 3D world. goes without saying, Canadian-based animation studio Mikros Image poured their heart and soul into this production. All this shown in 2019 (some coming 2020). Me when i saw keanu reeves in the trailer #SpongeBobMovie /9g7qEWcImZ Keanu Reeves has been the only consistently good thing about 2019 /iteEdm79Ec To the executive or animator or writer working on #SpongeBobMovie that came up with the pitch of, "You know what live-action cameo this new Spongebob Movie needs? Keanu Reeves!" Keanu Reeves is such a versatile actor, look at what he's accomplished this year Keanu Reeves is in the newest SpongeBob movie as a Tumbleweed, I'm not joking /d3FsaJZjfA I can't believe 2019 is the year of Keanu Reeves /zk4IgzhzImĬharismatic actor, loveable person, recently introduced his gf to the public and he keeps getting work.Ībsolutely deserved all this new found love.ītw, he is in the new spongebob movie as a tumbleweed /DoOloT4FIv Keanu Reeves has made in so much appearances lately that it's crazy. Maybe someone should start a thread of Keanu in unexpected places, I would most definitely follow that.įor the meantime, we have some gems from this year. Marvel even approaches him on a regular fan for every movie they do, but nope, this guy takes on roles like these. How will we ever get over Keanu Ka Ghosla?įor years, everyone has been waiting for him to maybe do a superhero movie and join DC or Marvel. I'm made out of sage and I am a sage, so it works out."
