The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (Widescreen Edition) (2004) Front Cover Actor Clancy Brown Rodger Bumpass Tom Kenny Carolyn Lawrence Movie Details Language English Audience Rating PG (Parental Guidance Suggested) Country USA Color Color Plot How many movies offer the rare spectacle of a parasailing pink starfish flying over a crowd with a congratulatory pennant clenched between his buttcheeks? And that's only the tip of the iceberg--The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie is a freewheeling goof of a cartoon, full of surreal twists as its diminutive heroes head down a dangerous road to rescue the lost crown of King Neptune. SpongeBob (voiced by Tom Kenny), an arrested adolescent in the mold of Pee-wee Herman, works at a fast-food restaurant that serves something called Krabby Patties (as the restaurant owner is himself a crab, it's not clear what exactly they're made of). His best friend Patrick Starfish (Bill Fagerbakke) lives under a rock and has an IQ in the lower digits. Still, their friendship carries them through many a tight spot as they strive for manliness. Anyone seeking a coherent world will be disappointed; in this undersea adventure, things catch on fire or seem to be surrounded by air whenever it's convenient for a gag. The jokes are often more silly than actually funny, but there's an undeniably energetic joviality to the proceedings. Featuring the voices of Scarlett Johansson, Jeffrey Tambor, Alec Baldwin, and a fully fleshed appearance by David Hasselhoff. --Bret Fetzer Personal Details Seen It Yes Index 9 In Collection Yes Product Details Format DVD Region Region 1 UPC 097363420941 Release Date 3/1/2005 Nr of Disks/Tapes 1 Extra Features Animated Closed-captioned Color Subtitled Widescreen NTSC
