The Bikini Bottomites go crazy and they all believe that Spongebob and Plankton stole the secret formula. The two new teammates create a time machine to get the secret formula before it disappears and also go to some weird places along the way including a time paralex where they meet a time wizard named Bubbles who is a dolphin. The two later get to the time when the formula disappeared and take it back to the present day time. They then realized that it's a fake formula Plankton made when he was taking the real one and the Bikini Bottomites try to destroy Spongebob (Plankton runs away) Spongebob smells Krabby patties and so does everyone else so the Bikini Bottomites follow it (instead of destroying Spongebob) and they arrive at the bank of the surface.

Trivia

This one of the first times in a while for a character (Squidward for this moment) to reference that the characters can't breathe air. Bubbles the Magic Dolphin gives them the power to breathe in this movie but in all other times they go on land (The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (2004), for instance) they can just breathe it no problem.

Goofs

At the sacrifice scene, Squidward first appears with his executioner mask already on, but he then puts on again in the next shot of him, even though he first appeared with the mask already worn. See more »

Quotes

SpongeBob SquarePants: Patrick, hand me the potatoes.
Patrick Star: Mashed or scalloped?
SpongeBob SquarePants: Better make them... raw!
Patrick Star: Aye, aye, sir!

Awesome 3D movie
6 February 2015 | by (Brazil) – See all my reviews

Back there in 2004 when the first Spongebob movie was released, I couldn't see it in the movie theater. When I watched the first trailer of this new movie I was very happy to know I would have the chance to see Spongebob, one of my favorite cartoons, in a big screen, and the best part, in 3D! I really enjoy watching 3D movies, and this one wasn't different.

The animation is stunning - both under and above the water scenes! The live-action scenes are also amazing, and all of them have great 3D depth!

The soundtrack is very good too, it even has some musics that the TV show fans will recognize. And there is a song that Spongebob sings with Plankton, just like one of the old episodes of the show were they sung a song together. And there are some another references to the TV show, and most of them are really funny.

This movie looks like just a long episode of the TV show (more like the new seasons along with some references to older seasons), so most older fans will probably love it, and the new fans might like it as well!
