At least this movie will be remembered for one reason: being fully leaked on twitter even before it was announced
And then,it happend again,with plankton
Actually, they were leaked on X and 4chan respectively. 🤓
It was announced pretty much as soon as Sponge on the Run came out, so we already knew it existed before it was leaked.
Lol, I know right?😂
@@thecodester6669Is it bad too?
I disliked it because of how bad the human characters are, how shallow SpongeBob was and how much wastes potential Sandy and especially her family was
I mean, when even 10-12 year old fanfics did much better job writing Sandy and her family than a high budget movie you gotta feel nobody really cared to put an effort into it.
Suggestion for a video more Nickelodeon games
Maybe SpongeBob and Patrick were right about Texas this whole time…
SpongeBob: Hey, Patrick. What am I now?
Patrick: Uh... stupid?
SpongeBob: No, I'm Texas.
Patrick: What's the difference?
SpongeBob & Patrick: (laughing)
the difference?
how about Governor Abbott
From spongebob tickling feet, to smelling literal SHIT, to the horribly unsettling animation that makes heropants looks like chowder, to the BORING villains.
Yeah, It's Bad
Well, if it was Chowder we would not be here.
@@Hecuba107Chowder? You mean like the cartoon?
@@rainbowtoyfunrandomess1982 obviously they mean the food
@@rainbowtoyfunrandomess1982 Yes.
Yeah, kinda sad to see how the show is now😢 it needs to be put to rest.
At this point, is SpongeBob just Nickelodeon’s version of Mickey Mouse? He’ll be reused even after he becomes public domain.
Maybe even get his own horror movie
To be fair, Mickey Mouse at least starred in some masterpieces past his 25th birthday. Can’t exactly say the same about SpongeBob based on this movie.
@@toainsullythat’ll probably be better than the Sandy movie
Well I don't care what yall' say about this movie! At least I had fun watching it.(plus those two scenes when spongebob is smelling poop and tickling feet relates to comments, fandoms, and Dan Schneider. ) Note to self. Fingers crossed, we never see anything live action(except the kcas)coming outta nickelodeon!!
@@Aaron-g8t I don’t know how you were able to enjoy this, but you do you.
Sandy was seriously done dirty in this film by producers who thought that the shitpile of a plot we have would suit kids and families nicely
I've always thought that a Sandy movie would have a backstory of her beginning with showing us the start of her life in Texas - how she became the squirrel she is
And at the last part where she becomes a marine biologist, the movie would end to her meeting SpongeBob
But nope, we get a complete mess. I feel so terrible for my favorite Spongebob character
Yeah, this show has gone on too long, it needs to be let go.
@@Tyler-q3kYeah
The movie should've been a prequel I personally feel, like HOW Sandy ended up at the bottom of the ocean and why she wanted to study marine biology.
I’ll give credit where credit is due, they did explain how Patrick, Mr. Krabs, and Squidward were breathing air as they apparently altered their genes to make them breath air and be indestructible so kids wouldn’t kill them.
Was about to comment this lol. You're right.
To be honest, that seems more like a lazy answer from the writers perspective to fix a plot hole.
People argue about spongebob logic all the time, thats where they cross the line?
@@shelvypigplayer1539 that’s not really a lazy fix for a plot hole, it’s kinda the whole point of the main villain’s plan. To make sea creatures that can breathe out of water. It was just poorly executed.
@ktoon4725 Yeah, 100% the poor execution.
Then again they were able to do that before all of this during time they made fun of land creatures which sandy dared them to make the trip to surface and they were able to breathe air.
Also krabs is a crab he can breath air and water too so him dying from lack of water isn't true Although he can easily dry out because his species is a crimson red crab.
They dont need to make a explanation for mr karbs but others yes even if it poorly but we got to remind ourselves the show never consistent
A RUclips critic who reviewed this film said that making marine biologists the villain of the film is an insult to Stephen Hillenburg since he is a marine biologist. Not sure if I would say that myself but it's such an interesting point
Right? Like a greedy company would’ve made more sense if the villain’s main goal was to sell toys/genetically-altered pet clones. But how she’ll know about the residents of Bikini Bottom in the first place is anyone’s guess.
That’s stupid.
maybe they were trying to illuminate "good science vs bad science" with Sandy vs the biologists. I don't see it as the full betrayal you paint it to be.
@@calumsanderson6741 that’s basically what I was thinking
Sandy was my favorite side character too! She deserved a better movie than one where Wanda Sykes is a robot!
AKA Bad Writing/Dumbing down to for your audience.
Gotta keep the kids' attention in the age of CocoMelon and the iPad kid.
@@bluegold1026Which is exactly what Toy Story 5 is going to boil down to.
Same with literally the entire animation industry. And Hollywood.
@@kamildrews3517 I have hope for TS5 because it's the perfect opportunity to provide some hard-hitting commentary on today's youths, their language, their culture and their fixation with technology.
Just because it’s kids content doesn’t mean it can’t be good. It just seems that nowadays people think that kids content should just be silly and whacky humor. But that’s not the case
You’re right. It’s so disrespectful!
@@ryanclaffey5203 The Toy Story movies appeal to both adults and kids, so that excuse does not even kind of work!
Yeah… about Toy Story…
It’s getting a fifth movie in 2026.
@@amayac2602 Yeah I know, and it may seem like they're just making it for the sake of money (which I think they are and don't give two shits about what people think), but the movie may end up being good. Don't judge a toy by its box. After all, this is 2024 still, and the movie hasn't even kind of finished development yet, so we'll have to wait and see. Although, I really do think they should stop after the 5th movie and if they wanna do more content, do TV shows and shorts and other things besides movies. As for this movie, it could have been salvaged in many ways during it's development cycle, but as it stands, this is the movie we got. I never saw it, but I'm taking people's word for it (which generally discouraged me from watching it in the first place), and, I'm still wondering if MrEnter's gonna make an Animated Atrocity on it.
@@williambragg6171 the iron giant was an epic kids movie as it didn’t treat the audience as beneath itself or treat them as inferior. They tackled morality, broken households, stepdad stepping up, a monster of a gov official, and the concept of life and death and how we can deal with that inevitable fate. And choosing who you are vs being what others tell you that you are. All this in a “kids” film that made many grown adults cry. It’s compelling and above all else, a great film and a work of art that has purpose and meaning. Not some mindless cash grabbing lowest common denominator of current trends. A lot of modern kids films are being dumbed down and are getting more and more cookie cutter in their ever more basic plots.
Figures as much with the company name that has the budget being sinking ships this movie is a disaster
Nickelodeon: Kids will be scarred if they see a main character die.
Megatron in 1986: Let's test that theory.
This movie basically said to me sandy deserves better than this
Sinking Ship Entertainment...that sounds like a joke that should be in SpongeBob.
The current era of Spongebob media just feels like the writers don't know what people actually like about Spongebob at all anymore. They just see it as a kid show that has to be loud and busy at all times, with poop jokes, shouting, random faces, and they blended that with the worst element of Nickelodeon. Their live action cartoon movies. This movie felt like a literal fusion of the worst aspects of Modern Spongebob and the worst of their Fairly Odd Parents live action TV-movies.
Well, if the show gets renewed for a 15th season (which it probably is going to be), that MAY OR MAY not be a second redemption arc for the show (like a modern day Season 9 almost).
@@mooseman3027 "Isn't it great that they're trying to teach such... valuable lessons in life? Okay, you three. What's the word I'm looking for here? Dipshits? No, that word is too good for you.

I don't know anyone who would lower themselves so substantially to even reluctantly want your demented, poisoned minds around. Just leave us all alone and go back to the fucking sludge you came from!" - TheMysteriousMrEnter from his Stuck in The Wringer review
It sucks because the show was improving from its infamous dark era when Stephen returned for the show in season 9.
6:07-6:11 Sinking Ship Entertainment?! The same company that specializes in kids’ live action CGI blended shows like Dino Dan and Dino Dana, Annedroids, Odd Squad, Ghostwriter, Endlings, and Jane? Aw man.
I guess it’s only depends if it’s solely live action
OH MY GOD! I forgot they made Odd Squad! I actually liked that show a lot when I was younger.
Guess realistic animation is their forté, NOT cartoon characters.
Hey Dino Dan/Dana I loved those shows.
Josh: JEEBUS, the character they play are BORING
Everyone: honestly you're too kind
*SpongeBob and Patrick were truly right about Texas in that one episode.*
*Hey Patrick, what am I now?*
*Uh, stupid?*
*No I'm Texas!*
*What's the difference?*
So once again, Hillenburg was trying to warn us.
The fact this video came out the same day as the Minecraft trailer
& looks like Sandy owes SpongeBob & Patrick an apology for taking the name of Texas in vain
I thought the movie was really obnoxious and at times a little creepy. Not just with the nightmare fuel CGI, but seeing SpongeBob tickle people's feet underwater and sniff a pile of crap, made me wonder if this film had ulterior motives. It reminded me of the ugly side of Nickelodeon. Whereas most good Nickelodeon movies and specials will be packed with weird and hilarious imagery, bad Nickelodeon movies will be designed to pander to the youngest demographic while simultaneously getting away with a lot of creepy imagery.
This was the movie for the 25 ANNIVERSARY OF ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR CARTOONS IN THE WORLD?? This movie made me feel two things: Uncomfortable and cringed out 😔
The Fact SpongeBob Was Tickling & Enjoying Feet Is Even WORSE When You Consider The Quiet On Set Documentary Was Only A Few Months Ago
loved the part where she said “it’s sandy time” and sandied all over the place
1:01 IS THAT THE SNAKE FROM RANGO!?!?!
At least she didn't cheeks all over the place
Rattlesnake Jake?!😮
Still spinel solos
"Who is this Rattlesnake Jake wannabe?" was the first thing I thought of when I saw him.
They can't get sued for plagiarism since Rango was also produced by Nickelodeon.
Sandy Has Some Real Cheeky Buns, Doesn’t She? Yes, Yes She Does, So Okay Then! 🐿️
The actress who was in the white hat looks like she was in the Disney channel
Speaking of Disney, here's something I wanna say regarding this quote. "It's just a kids movie, it's allowed to be stupid." Cliche excuse for Sandy's movie, but I find this kind of funny because of the thing Strider says after that. "Toy Story (from Disney and Pixar) and basically every Disney movie ever disagrees." Strider is basically saying "YES. Even the BAD ones. So congratulations, Hannah Montana The Movie & Chicken Little. For as awful as you are, at least you’re not stupid, which is a plus. I’d never thought I would say that, but after the Sandy Cheeks movie, I do. Huh, guess that’s why we love Disney so much, cause even in their worst films, they are never stupid, they stand out from kids movies that are actually stupid."
Perhaps we owe Songe Out of Water & Sponge on the Run an apology.
Yeah. Honestly with sponge in the run. With the whole kamp koral stuff it just feel like "well i see where we going now of the shiw and movies".
But while their are a few scenes thst felt ehh, not too shabby.
Sponge Out of Water is severely underrated and, honestly I think it's even better than the first movie primarily by the fact all the main cast got to shine even if SpongeBob and Plankton had the main focus.
Still no. Something being worse doesn't make sotr ok
Can we just admit that sponge out of water was good?
@SuperVegitoIsTheBestCharacter Sponge out of Water is good, I don't know why some fans are still being so much ignorant with their "Only seasons 1-3 and the first movie are worth it" mindset
It should’ve been about Sandy growing up with her family, what inspired her in marine life, and at the ending is when she goes to Bikini Bottom for the first time gets attacked by that clam, and meets her little yellow sponge
Now, the Plankton movie have gotten leaked, and apperently it's, and Wendy's will be selling krabby patties, And Patrick is getting his own game.
What is going on?
Another leak.
Filling the checklist
It’s just a little thing called… THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY. I mean, seriously, I get that they milk this show a lot, but you could say the same thing about any popular cartoon. Besides, again, it’s its ANNIVERSARY, so in this case it’s actually justified.
I hope the Patrick game is like the video game version of Patrick: The game from that one episode
@@justanormalguy563 Simpsons or Family Guy anyone?
7:14 fun fact, in the film's Hebrew dub, sandy had two actresses: one for speaking and one for singing. Sandy's Hebrew speaking voice in the film was provided by naama uzen (Sandy's main Hebrew voice actress ever since the beginning of the series who also likely sang some of her songs in the series in episodes like the Texas and rodeo songs) while her Hebrew singing voice in the film was done by talya Barkey (who was this and SpongeBob on the run's dubbing director and also voiced karen, gary and the film's villainess su nami).
Who cares about jewish spongebab? oy vey
Netflix is a marketing black hole, like the Epic Games Store. Never even heard that this movie existed until now.
Animation RUclips talked about this a ton already. But yeah, that tracks with Netflix.
The only thing I could've call "marketing" about Sandy Cheeks Movie is RUclipsrs talking that an ENTIRE movie leaked.
Hopefully Cosmos Is Good.
Shame: Sandy finally gets her big break, her origin is finally answered ... and they F@#$ it up.
"The pug rides a hang glider" SOLD!
I think the thought has gone from "Cartoons are for kids" to "Cartoons are primarily for pre-schoolers."
More like all the way to "All animation is primarily and exclusively to toddlers that haven't even developed a single brain cell"
SpongeBob sniffs fecal matter and tickles feet. Should I explain what's wrong with that...
Yeah i started diving into the whole "Kids Movies Are Fine Being Dumb and Stupid", then I watched Legends of Metru Nui again, and began identifying with Vakama's lack of self worth and doubting himself based on expectations.
Remember, this was a movie from Bionicle, a toy series with a movie length advertisement for kids.
I'm a native Texan. Sandy is a stereotype, but she's a stereotype that Texans love. There are only a couple of nitpicks, like the way she pronounced the word "pecan". She said "Pee-kawn" when real Texans say "Puh-kawn". And she always uses the word "Y'all", even when addressing a singular person, but those are the only gripes. We fell in love with Sandy, from the get go. Her character was awesome, and we always wanted to root for her. But they did her dirty. I wanted to see her in a movie that deserves her. But the age of the franchise is showing. Paramount/Nickelodeon is putting out terrible spinoffs, with bare bones budgets, and no quality control. I know SpongeBob has a lot of throw away gags, but there IS cannon lore, to this show. You can't change concrete elements, to launch your horiible, "SpongeBob Babies" spinoff. The first episode established how SpongeBob and Sandy met. SpongeBob came out of it's dark ages, only to get better, but then launch a bunch of repugnant spinoffs.

It's nice to see a review of the this movie that isn't just “ThIs Is GaRbaDgE”. You actually explain it things you like about the movies, which is what most online critics fail to do.
Sue Nahmee… is that the best pun they could do for a villain name? That’s not even trying! What next, an astronomer villain named Astra Nomére?
It’s an Aladdin The Animated Series villain name, but not as creative as something like Abis Mal.
@@jbcatz5Wait, what? What’s the name of a villain from the Aladdin Animated Series?
@@TheDMan2003 Abis Mal. Or, Abysmal. There were plenty of punny names, like an ocean based one called Saleen. Someone threatening ocean characters whose name sounds like Tsunami fits that.
@@jbcatz5 Oh, I get it. Yeah, that is pretty cheesy. Though I’d still take it over Sue Nahmee. Seriously, who came up with that? I at least had to try with the pun on ‘astronomer.’
Sounds like a racist slur against Japanese-Americans.
I can say one simple reason why it is hated is that it seems like it is made for kids who use Tik Tok.
Tiktok drags everything down with it. -_-
I honestly think even kids on tiktok deserve better than this movie.
Feels more like DeviantArt honestly
Nah dude this movie was just plain whack
This is not only the WORST SpobeBob movie, but ALSO one of the worst movies you could find on Netflix, AND one of the worst things to FEATURE SpongeBob. As great as the voice actors are doing, that is completely BURIED under the mountain of horrid writing, a lack of plot, weak animation, characters that contribute LESS than they do in a normal SpongeBob episode, and the worst COMEDY from the franchise yet.
As much as we love SpongeBob, I would not recommend this to ANYBODY. In fact, all the OTHER SpongeBob movies can give you so much more than this. I'd even go as far as to say that you get more entertainment out of a normal 11-minute or even 22-minute episode than this whole movie.
I give this movie a 1.5/5
Wait? Since when was there a FOURTH SpongeBob movie?
-almost everyone, including me
Well, the EXTREMELY MINIMAL advertising of the movie should tell you why you never knew about it.
Nickelodeon is ganna make Tom Kenny do this till he's 90.
or replace him with Dean Wendt who voiced Barney
@@LukasSheshene1Or AI voices
I was hopeful about the Sandy movie. I was hoping it would be good because a Sandy spinoff could have had some potential if done right.
What the hell happened here?
Netflix happened. That and the "all kids stuff must be obnoxious and insulting because it's popular to do so thanks to Cocomelon and TikTok" mentality at Hollywood and the animation industry.
I sincerely wanted for the show to stop being produced after the death of its creator, it make no sense for me that it continue.
I feel like its mocking his legacy, his work, his passion, talent, creativity, to.. Whatever the show become.. Which is the total opposite of all of that.
they should've ended either after the first or second movie honestly, or after Stephen died.
@@mandythegrimadventures8964 or after Big Birthday Blowout
"Sinking Ship" is NOT a good name for a studio, considering it's a thing associated with failure and disaster. But it goes with this movie for sure.
Hang on... Didn't they already do the whole "SpongeBob & friends help out Sandy with an above ground threat" in the SpongeBob Musical? Rodeo Daze, too, but we don't acknowledge that here.
20:23 aw, that's nice! I have AuHD & have been watching u for years! Also, I'd kinda like to see more of these solo media reviews; ur layed back & fun, so I'd enjoy it! :)
I have not seen Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie yet, and I was not inspired to for several reasons; the backlash the film received, and the inappropriate-looking way Sandy was holding SpongeBob in the poster. When I decided to see movies on Netflix, I chose to see Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken (2023) and The Little Rascals (1994), and I also plan to see Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) on that platform. Also, the earlier SpongeBob movies are better, with many saying the first one was the best.
at least the Plankton movie will be a palette cleanser, because from what I've heard about the leak, it's actually good
By this point, it feels that Nickelodeon just have no idea of what to do with their IP.
what kind of vampire shows up in daylight
hmm....no idea,maybe they just wanted to mix things up than the standard vampires hate sunlight trope? I don't know
@@adamk-paxlogan7330Sucks I forgot that people can just bend the rules, because screw continuity
Krabs, Squidward and Patrick were placed in a machine that made them able to survive out of the water. That is why they were outside Bikini Bottom in the lab.
My bad sorry! I missed that line
Let hope Plankton’s Movie can still redeem Itself and the franchisee.
I was one of thr few to see the leaked movie when ithappend last month.
Honestly, 3rd best movie to me.
All i will say is story was interesting and kept me watchin, villian was great, and for netflix release next year, not bad of 3d.
But thats just my opinion, and even then it was just a finished still need worked on copy of the movie
At least Plankton is WAY more interesting than Sandy.
@@owenkeys3937 i know. I honesf felt like a prime golden era spongebob special/movie
it’s gwimbly!!
Doubt it. I'd just bet it'll be as loud, bright and random as this movie was.
Hello Strider. Thank you so much for this movie review. I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while.
I do have another video suggestion for you. For your next SpongeBob video: rank all of the SpongeBob movies (specials as well if you like) from worst to best. And for the worst ones, you can go into a deep dive of your suggestions and or opinions on how to fix them. You know? Like your video on fixing the worst episodes of many classic cartoons? I’d like to see you do the same thing for the SpongeBob Movies and or specials. I feel like it might be something fun for you to do. 😁
From what I’m seeing even though I haven’t watch a movie, they could have made a plot where before meeting SpongeBob, Sandy would face some sort of discrimination and racism due to being a land creature on her first day in Bikini Bottom. That would give her depth and show off the sides of Sandy we have never known. Or for the alternate route, they should have made this an origin story for Sandy, such as how she became to be, how did she find her place in Bikini Bottom, all that!
And yet, we have this plot! Even though I have NOT watched this film, but from the clips, it must have been so horrible!
Something I feel like not enough people mention about early spongebob is the colors. The colors in season 1 are a lot less saturated than the seasons that come after, and especially this movie. Since each frame was hand painted, the colors were a lot softer and a little darker than what came afterwards. The CG in this movie could benefit from recreating that color palette, since that could seriously reduce the plastic happy meal toy look.
Also, the superimposed head effect was the funniest part of the movie to me, precisely for how bad it is. It looks like a quick gag you would see in Gumball or Smiling Friends, but it's missing the irony and self awareness that those shows would use for something a gag like this. Also, those shows probably wouldn't drag the gag out for more than 30 seconds.
15:11 This specific scene was after they got sprayed to be able to breathe or somethin... I DONT REMEMBER OK
They ate "Phase Ones" which allowed them to breath oxygen.
15:12 They actually do explain that. The scientists' plan had three steps, and the second one was to modify the DNA of the fish (or something like that) so they could breathe air, that way they wouldn't die. Patrick, Squidward, and Mr Krabs were the first fish they did this to, that's why they can breathe air later in the movie.
I mentioned many times that Sandy has always been, and always will be, one of my very favourite characters in the show. But barnacles if they did her dirty here.
Honestly, the fairly oddparents new wish sequel series is having a better year than spongebob’s 25th anniversary year.
Imagine if blameitonjorge comes in here and says "it's horhay".
This comment actually makes me think of Gene Wilder in Young Frankenstein saying “It’s pronounced Fronkensteen.”
This movie is some clear-cut proof that Nickelodeon has become so drunk on *_SpongeBob_* that they've completely run out of ideas for the show.
And all my streaming videos on demand, I CAN’T DEMAND THEM ANYMORE!
This movie is heartbreaking to me. I'm a sucker for SpongeBob and Sandy going on adventures together. Pre-Hibernation Week is my all time favourite episode. You'd think I'd eat it all up.
The premise sounds amazing: Bikini Bottom is hoisted out of the ocean and placed into an aquarium so Sandy and SpongeBob have to go to the surface to get it back. It has a genuinely strong opening. The moment the two get to Texas, the plot takes a nosedive.
I've read fanfics about SpongeBob meeting Sandy's family. "Spandy" shippers outdid the official showrunners.
I swear to God, the whole movie feels like Kaz (the writer) is taking advantage of shoehorning his fetishes into an official product and getting paid for it. The only parts of the movie I remember is when SpongeBob sniffs poo and Sandy gets bitten by a snake and caused an explosion of inflation porn.
I agree that a sandy movie has a lot of potential and will get kids interested in Science if they put more blood sweat and tears into the project but Nickelodeon decided to suck their own thumb making this movie. But what i can give the movie credit for is that carolyn lawrence and tom kenny are killing it as usual
The movie feels like a fever dream 💀
Talking to one of my friends who taught at the grade school level during the mid-2000s, a lot of girls watched Spongebob and thought the experimental stuff Sandy did looked fun, so it kind of led to a bump in girls' interest in STEM. When the show began, you didn't really have a positive female role model who was a scientist in cartoons.
Something that really bugged me about this movie is the lack of understanding in SpongeBob and Sandy’s dynamic. Sandy seems more like a babysitter to a sugar rushed sponge, contrast to the original three seasons where they had a genuine friendship. They were entirely different people and have had episodes of misunderstandings and conflicts, but they were friends who fed off of each other and showed interest in whatever one of the other was doing.
I honestly agree with the CGI it looks off on some characters honestly they should've used the animation company that animated the PAW Patrol movies because I like PAW Patrol I grew up with it but when I first went into the movie I expected it to be another kids movie but I was wrong the animation CGI looks great the action and adventure the paw patrol movies had were something the show didn't do and there was even a deleted scene from the movie called Chase's nightmare where no joke it shows Chase dying but i honestly think they could've done what the paw patrol movies did and make fun of the merch they have which is what they seemed to have tried with this SpongeBob movie but failed badly
The worst thing about is that people would use this as an justification for harassing the staff with death threats.
I was more mixed than negative. Whenever it focused on Sandy and her family that was when I enjoyed it the most. Sadly we barely get any of that. My biggest problem is with the villain Sue Nahmee. Her whole plan is stupid, her cgi robot body is unnecessary, and it's overall a big waste of Wanda Sykes talent
I was a little surprised to hear that you’re on the spectrum but that also brings me a little comfort aswell since on the spectrum aswell and your videos are amazing to just sit and listen to since you sound very passionate about the topic you talk about in your videos. Keep up the good work and stay passionate with what you love 😊
I personally enjoyed the film, as well as my mother and grandma, but I couldn't help but feel at least some of the people behind the scenes had a condescending view of kids.
OK so the head effect was definitely something done better Sharkboy and Lavagirl. If you think about it, at least that movie had a weird, dumb villain that was at least funny to look at. It didn't look like someone poorly photoshopped a face of someone else's body to purposely make a terribly hilarious meme short, this movie it did tho...
Never watched it, but it seems like an insult not just to Sandy, but the entirety of SpongeBob. And this is coming from a non-fan. As I say, it's really bad when me, someone who isn't a fan, can say they messed up. The SpongeBob SquarePants fandom deserves a way better movie. Hey, Nickelodeon! How about researching the first three movies? I think you need a refresher course on what a good SpongeBob movie looks like!
I want to say though, I do really like Sandy! And as others have pointed out, you don't have to be a fan to like Lights, Camera, Pants! To me, that has always been strange that I like the game, but ah well!
I saw most of this movie due to having younger siblings who turned it on, and............. yeah I agree, the cloning scene was disturbing
None of the live action actors are up and coming Nickelodeon actors, they've all been in big budget shows for years, the girl was great in the One Piece live action show, the guy has played comic relief characters in the Series of Unfortunate Events show and Stranger Things, and Wanda Sykes is a legendary comedian.
Their weird performances are 100% due to direction, their skills have already been proven multiple times.
The main reason why I didn't like this movie is because of the villain, especially the uncanny head effect! I agree Sandy deserves a better movie, but I really enjoyed the scene with the rattlesnakes!
How would you fix Savings Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie:
i'm on the sepctrum too. loved your content for a long time.
At the very least, I expected there to be a scene showing the origins of Sandy Cheeks, and how and why she decided to move to Bikini Bottom, we might also have the chance to see the chimpanzees from Chimps Ahoy. And then we witness her struggles as a land critter adapting to her new underwater home, along with the Bikini Bottomites learning to accept Sandy. But nope, even I was disappointed in that regard, along with the usual reasons why the Sandy Cheeks movie is a major disappointing mess.
Kid Danger: *wearing his mighty pup movie outfit* PAW Patrol AND Rubble and Crew have BETTER animation then the Sandy cheeks movie! Christ on a Honey Graham Cracker! I prefer the 2nd spongebob movie over that Sandy Cheeks movie!
That's because Paw Patrol's excuse is that their budget is specifically for tv episodes, while the budget in their movies are nesseary for a movie. They put in lots of detail on the fur and hair of the characters
At least sponge out of water was actually good.
I’m scared of you
Wait aren’t you the same dude who hates strider for some reason? Something about him having a different opinion than you? Why are you suddenly on striders side? Finally realized he isn’t a bad dude i take it?
@@ravene9978You should. He's a manchild who holds a grudge against animation reviewers for disliking preschool fodder.
Big head mode was the last straw that I had to shut the movie off. 😂😂😂😂
Congrats!! to you and Nin on getting married!
How is can they make a Spongebob Movie worse than Sponge on The Run?
Oh yeah, this!
1:46, I recognize him! That’s Matty Cardarople. He played as the Henchman of Indeterminate Gender in Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events! He also played as a livestreamer in Free Guy.
Also, your co-narrator sounds like she’d be a newscaster version of Cherri Bomb in Hazbin Hotel; I have no idea why, but it feels so fitting!
This movie was a HOT MESS, I just hope the Plankton movie coming next year is better.
Steven Hillibrand's wishes need to be respected.
0:01 I even think the movie poster is extremely inappropriate!
😂😂😂
This entire video Strider and I'm like, "Wanda Sykes does not age. She'll always be about 45 to me. She's been 45 for, like, 30 years now."
I couldn't even watch the second half. Only good thing was that there was a picture of an arrow looper roller coaster in the movie, and they filmed at a real water park.
And all my streaming videos on demand 🥺
Honestly the villains plan of selling the Bikini Bottom citizens as merch kinda sounds like how SpongeBob has been treated in recent years.
Hey, @PhantomStrder
Fun Fact: The Movie is filmed in New Mexico.
First time since sixth grade (2012) that someone has mentioned Beakman to me. I remember my science teacher slapping an episode of his on before classes would startfor the day. Love to see someone else watches his shoe because no one talks about him
I at least liked Sandy's family. I found the story ironic because of the state of the franchise.
I will also add that Galveston is actually more of a beach town than a tourist trap.
My biggest gripe with the movie is animation because I don't know how, but I could definitely feel a green screen effect during scenes where the characters are moving, especially flying, and the plot is just ok
yeah i'm the only one who likes this movie aren't i 💀
not saying i love it or anything, because i dont really. it's definitely the worst out of the four movies, the animation is absolutely horrible and looks like it's right out of a video game, sandy's family (with the possible exception of randy) is very forgettable, the songs are incredibly sub par (though unfortunately the final one is sort of catchy), the live action segments (like always) are bad and weird, sue is the worst villian this show's ever created writing wise... but it wasn't as bad as i was expecting it to be, even considering sandy is my least favorite main character.
the plot was good, the threat to the bikini bottomites was genuinely terrifying, squidward got his own song (despite the fact that it was cut short, because there's a full version on the album!) and i loved the way spongebob himself was written. he seemed very in character to me. he was funny, he was childish, but he was still dealing with something so emotionally heavy while trying his best to stay happy/optimistic. and he was so excited as he was visiting texas and meeting sandy's family.
i've already watched it twice. both times i found myself laughing out loud on multiple occasions. i have a very open mind when it comes to modern spongebob, because this show means a lot to me, and i can't find myself hating this movie. even though i'm 99% sure i'm alone in that lmao. just needed to share my thoughts :)
