Todd McCarthy
The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie takes on rather too much water during its extended feature-length submersion.
J. R. Jones
The Nickelodeon cartoon series about an oceanic sponge and his starfish sidekick washes onto the big screen with a tide of weak one-liners, exaggerated reactions, and vaguely nauseating gags.
Anyone expecting anything more risky will be sadly disappointed.
Ed Park
Could SpongeBob, all gangly goodwill and ice cream appetite, be the anarchic savior for our stressed-out times?
Richard Roeper
If you are a non-parent and you're entertained by this, wow, good for you.
Randy Cordova
Like the TV show it's based on, it's a daffy, enjoyable creation.

An animated adventure that's funnier than Shark Tale and more charming than The Polar Express.

Extraordinary This movie is one of my favorite movies of all time. I am a 14 year old boy and I grew up with spongebob and will continue to love it. The movies plot suggests that kids can do amazing things. Only the best movies deserve plots like that. It still makes me laugh after I don't know how many times I've watched it.

Great movie for all but... This movie is for all ages, including adults which has, surprisingly enough, references to adult humor that only adults would catch and quite possibly kids too depending how they grew up....overall its funny and its been confirmed they are making a sequel that they are pushing for a 2014 release.....
Sooo great! This is the best cartoon movie! It is so funny throughout. I am 41 And enjoy it.. my kids love And laugh,..its great!

Nigel and the first time to ever live I like toy buses and I am very proud of this message and I am not sure if you are my friend or not so much as you have to go outside now because I have to do the same thing today so I have to ride my bike today.............. OK................ PS I am not your friend, because I do not know if you are spying on me?........... OK............

The Rugrats Movie
Based on the popular Nickelodeon TV series Rugrats, this is the first full-length feature animated movie to star the little tots. It's the story of diaper-clad kids, told from a baby's point- of-view, and they were one of the hottest-selling toy franchises of the late '90s. The film features a hilarious musical number in the hospital nursery, where newborns have the voices of major rock stars that include Jakob Dylan (Bob Dylan's son), Iggy Pop, Lou Rawls, Lisa Loeb, and Patti Smith, to name a few. The story escalates when self-proclaimed leader Tommy Pickles is thrust into an impossible situation with the birth of his new brother, Dil Pickles. This new kid is grabbing all the attention and won't stop crying. With the help of other toddlers Lil and Phil, Tommy decides that the baby should be returned to the hospital for fixing. They all hop on their little wagon and take a high-speed ride straight into the deep woods where they realize they're lost. Chased around by animals (or so they think), the Rugrats clan must get home in one piece. Other celebrity voices include Whoopi Goldberg and The Rocky Horror Picture Show's Tim Curry, as well as Saturday Night Live's Andrea Martin and David Spade.
The Wild Thornberrys Movie
The Nickelodeon cartoon series The Wild Thornberrys gets its first feature-length animated film, directed by show creator Cathy Malkasian with a screenplay by Kate Boutilier (writer of Nickelodeon's Rugrats in Paris). The main character is 12-year-old Eliza Thornberry (voice of Lacey Chabert), a braces-and-glasses-wearing eccentric girl in an adventurous family of travelers. Due to an interaction with a shaman, she has been granted the special power of communication with animals, as long as she promises not to tell anyone about it. Her powers are challenged when her parents, Nigel (voice of Tim Curry) and Marianne (voice of Jodi Carlisle), decide to take the family on an African safari to make a nature documentary. Also along for the trip is snobby sister Debbie (voice of Danielle Harris), feral youngster Donnie (voice of Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers), and pet chimpanzee Darwin (voice of Tom Kane). After her new Cheetah cub friend is stolen by poachers, Eliza is determined to get involved. However, the stuffy Thornberry grandparents get in the way by sending her to boarding school. It's up to Eliza and Darwin to defeat the poachers and save the cub. Also featuring the voice talents of Brenda Blethyn and Lynn Redgrave.

Family
4
The classic story of loyalty, trust, and sacrifice comes to life in this live-action adaptation. Fern (Dakota Fanning) is one of only two living beings who sees that Wilbur is a special animal as she raises him, the runt of the litter, into a terrific and radiant pig. As Wilbur moves into a new barn, he begins a second profound friendship with the most unlikely of creatures -- a spider named Charlotte -- and their bond inspires the animals around them to come together as a family. When the word gets out that Wilbur's days are numbered, it seems that only a miracle will save his life. A determined Charlotte -- who sees miracles in the ordinary -- spins words into her web in an effort to convince the farmer that Wilbur is "some pig" and worth saving.
