    • Trivia
      Intended to be the series finale of SpongeBob SquarePants (1999), the show was renewed for a fourth season due to the film's success and the show's popularity. Further episodes were told to take place before the events of this movie, but this was confirmed to be untrue by the show's cast and crew, who have claimed that the show has "never really been chronological".
    • Goofs
      In the opening sequence, Mr. Krabs says to Spongebob that the customer "took a bite of the burger, and... No cheese!", but when Spongebob goes in to help the customer, there isn't a bite taken from the burger. The opening sequence is a dream and things in dreams aren't always as described.
    • Quotes

      Crowd: [Regarding King Neptune] BALD! BALD BALD! BALD! BALD!

      Fish: MY EYES!

    • Crazy credits
      After the credits, the pirates are still in the movie theatre and an usher tells them that they have to leave. After the scene ends, the Paramount Pictures logo is shown.
    • Alternate versions
      In the Hungarian version, much of the dialogue is rendered in rhymes and includes a lot more puns and wordplays than the original.

    Fans will like this

    SpongeBob lives in Bikini Bottom with his pet Gary, best friend Patrick the starfish and Squidward. He expects that Mr. Krabs will make him the manager of Krusty Krab 2 but he chooses Squidward instead. Plankton is angry at the new restaurant opening. He uses plan Z to steal King Neptune's crown and frame Mr. Krabs for it. SpongeBob defends Mr. Krabs. Convinced by his daughter Mindy, King Neptune gives SpongeBob and Patrick 6 days to find his crown in dangerous Shell City.

    This is basically an extended version of the TV show. It's as silly and irreverent as ever. Its stupidity is its charm. It's fun but it does run a bit long. It may be that SpongeBob is best as 30 minutes episodes. If you're a fan of the show, this is just as good except longer.
