Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie is an upcoming American adventure comedy film based on the animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants, created by Stephen Hillenburg. Directed by Liza Johnson, the film stars the series' regular voice cast and includes new characters (both live-action and animated) performed by Johnny Knoxville, Craig Robinson, Grey DeLisle, Ilia Isorelýs Paulino, Matty Cardarople, and Wanda Sykes. The plot follows Sandy and SpongeBob as they venture to Sandy's home state of Texas to save Bikini Bottom from the hands of an evil CEO.
