The plot follows Plankton's evil plan to steal King Neptune's crown and send it to Shell City, where SpongeBob and Patrick must retrieve to save Mr. Krabs' life from Neptune's raft and their home, Bikini Bottom, from Plankton's plan.
Tie-in promotions were made with several companies, including Burger King, McDonald's and Cayman Airways.[2][3][4] The film was released on November 19, 2004, receiving positive reviews from critics and fans alike. The film was a box office success, grossing over $140 million worldwide.[1] According to Box Office Mojo, the film is the 4th highest-grossing animated film to be based on an animated television series.[5]
On February 28, 2012, it was reported that a sequel is in development with a projected release date of late-2014.[6] It is planned to be released on February 13, 2015.[7]
Plot
SpongeBob SquarePants (Tom Kenny) has a dream of becoming the manager of the Krusty Krab restaurant and that the restaurant is in danger because a customer named Phil has no cheese on his Krabby Patty, but SpongeBob comes to save the day. SpongeBob wakes up from the dream, and happily gets ready for the Krusty Krab 2 opening ceremony, with the hope that Mr. Krabs (Clancy Brown) will promote him to manager of the new restaurant. At the opening ceremony, SpongeBob is denied the title, which is instead given to Squidward Tentacles (Rodger Bumpass), due to being "more mature" than SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs thinking that he is "just a kid" and is unable to handle the task.
Meanwhile, Plankton (Mr. Lawrence), Krabs' business rival, enacted a plot to steal the Krabby Patty secret formula and to frame Mr. Krabs with the dreaded "Plan Z". He steals King Neptune's crown, sends it to Shell City. Incensed, King Neptune (Jeffrey Tambor) crashes into the Krusty Krab 2 and assaults Krabs. SpongeBob later arrives and bad-mouths Krabs, but, when seeing Krabs' life is at risk, he promises Neptune that he will retrieve the crown from Shell City. Neptune orders SpongeBob to be back with the crown back in exactly six days. SpongeBob and Patrick then head off for Shell City in a car shaped like a Krabby Patty.
Back in Bikini Bottom, Plankton steals the Krabby Patty formula with ease and sell Krabby Patties and makes a huge fortune, claiming Krabs willed the recipe to him. He also sends a hitman named Dennis (Alec Baldwin) to pursue SpongeBob and Patrick.
Squidward, meanwhile, uncovers the truth about Plankton stealing Neptune's crown and attempts to alert Neptune, but Plankton uses mind-controlling buckets, disguised as souvenirs, to control the residents of Bikini Bottom, including Squidward, and renames the city "Planktopolis".
Meanwhile, SpongeBob and Patrick discover a hazardous trench. Mindy (Scarlett Johansson) appears to give them encouragement to pass the trench by falsely claiming they are men. SpongeBob and Patrick pass the trench and meet Dennis on the other side of the trench. Before Dennis steps on them with his giant boot, he is stomped on by the Cyclops. The cyclops grabs SpongeBob and Patrick and heads off for his store by the beach, which is in fact "Shell City" itself.
When they arrive, SpongeBob and Patrick find the crown, and take the crown out to the beach. After accidentally losing their way home, David Hasselhoff offers the two a ride, which they gladly accept.
On the way, Dennis catches up to them, but is struck by a catamaran back into the sea. Back at the Krusty Krab 2, Neptune arrives to execute Krabs. In the nick of time, SpongeBob and Patrick return with the crown, save Krabs, and then confront Plankton. SpongeBob then free the citizens of Bikini Bottom using rock and roll to play the Goofy Goober theme.
Plankton is arrested and incarcerated. King Neptune thanks SpongeBob for his bravery and unfreezes Krabs, who graciously gives the title of general manager of the Krusty Krab 2 to him.

Critical response
The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie received positive reviews from media critics and fans. Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a "Fresh" rating of 68% based on 125 reviews, with and average score of 6.2/10.[19] Selected top critics also gave the film and a 68% "Fresh" rating based on 36 reviews.[20] The site's consensus is that "Surreally goofy and entertaining for both children and their parents."[19] Metacritic gave the film a score of 66% based on 32 reviews, indicating "Generally favorable reviews".[21]
Roger Ebert positively responded to the film and gave it 3 out of 4 stars calling it "the 'Good Burger' of animation" whereas "plopping us down inside a fast-food war being fought by sponges, starfish, crabs, tiny plankton and mighty King Neptune."[22] Ed Park of The Village Voice enjoyed it and written, "No Pixar? No problem! An unstoppable good-mood generator, the resolutely 2-D SpongeBob SquarePants Movie has more yuks than Shark Tale and enough soul to swallow The Polar Express whole.[23] Michael Rechtshaffen of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive reaction, calling it "an animated adventure that's funnier than Shark Tale and more charming than The Polar Express."[24] Randy Cordova of The Arizona Republic also has given it a positive feedback, saying "like the TV show it's based on, it's a daffy, enjoyable creation."[25] Jami Bernard of Daily News gave the feature a score of 3/4, saying that "it's not The Incredibles, or one of those animated features that spent zillions on character design, pedigree and verisimilitude. But SpongeBob is a sweet, silly thing with a child-friendly esthetic all its own." Will Lawrence of Empire gave this film 4 out of 5 stars and wrote "a film for kids, students, stoners, anyone who enjoys a break from reality."[26] Lisa Schwarzbaum of the Entertainment Weekly gave it a score of B- saying, "The best moments in his [SpongeBob SquarePants] first movie outing are those that feel most TV-like, just another day in the eternally optimistic undersea society created with such contagious silliness by Stephen Hillenburg."[27]
Some of the characters did received positive reviews specifically David Hasselhoff. Jennifer Frey of The Washington Post enjoyed it and written, "getting to see the hairs on Hasselhoff's back (and thighs, and calves) magnified exponentially is perhaps a bit creepy. Like the movie, it's all in good fun."[28] Nancy Basile of the About.com gave the film 4/5 stars and also mentioning Hasselhoff saying, "the standout guest star was, of course, David Hasselhoff as himself. He must have a great sense of humor."[29] Joshua Tyler of Cinema Blend noted that "it is also the best movie cameo I've seen since Fred Savage stuck a joint in his crotch and played a clarinet to charm the resulting smoke like a snake."[30]
Desson Thomson also from the The Washington Post enjoyed the film and written, "YOU GOTTA LOVE SpongeBob. Coolest sponge in the sea, although this one has a suspiciously manufactured look."[31] Carla Meyer of San Francisco Chronicle gave it a 3.5/4 score and wrote "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie retains the 2-D charm of the hugely popular Nickelodeon cartoon but adds a few tricks – a little 3-D here, a little David Hasselhoff there. The series' appeal never lay in its visuals, however. "SpongeBob" endeared itself to kids and adults through sweetness and cleverness, also abundant here."[32] A. O. Scott of The New York Times gave it a score of 4/5, writing, "If you're tired of their bluster and swagger, SpongeBob is your man."[33] Tom Maurstad of The Dallas Morning News said gave the film a "-B" grade, writing "Being so good is what led to making the movie, and it's also the reason that many small-screen episodes are better than this big-screen venture."[34]
Scott Lecter of DVD Talk said "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie still comes as highly recommended for anyone in the mood for a little fun."[35] A reviewer writing for Cinema Blend gave the feature film 4/5 stars and said "I fall into the former category and I found this children's movie to be an entertaining, unpretentious gigglefest that goes surprisingly fast for a 90 minute feature."[36]
On the negative side, David Edelstein of Slate wrote, "I like my SpongeBob a little less lumbering, a little more free-associational, without that big, heavy anchor of a story structure to weigh him down."[37] Mike Clark of the USA Today also criticized the film, saying "Harmlessly off-the-cuff — but facing far more pedigreed multiplex competition —SpongeBob barely rates as OK when compared with The Incredibles."[38] Reviews from Time Out London was also negative noting that "anyone expecting anything more risky will be sadly disappointed."[39] In his review for Variety, Todd McCarthy said "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie takes on rather too much water during its extended feature-length submersion."[40] David N. Butterworth of the Internet Movie Database negatively reacted to the film and gave it no stars out of four saying, "For much like fish, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie truly stinks."[41]
