On a small ship, he and his crew of talking and singing CG seagulls have finally found themselves at the small island that we see in the opening of each 'SpongeBob' episode. This grungy pirate runs a solo operation. 'Sponge Out of Water' opens with a live-action sequence that introduces us to series' narrator, Burger Beard, played by Antonio Banderas. As movies are meant to do, this one takes place on a grand scale that affects more than just the single main character and starfish sidekick the fate of everyone in Bikini Bottom is at stake. The difference between that movie and 'Sponge Out of Water' is that this tale isn't just a 90-minute episode.
Like it's tiny, squishy, quirky central character, there's a good heart and intelligence hidden beneath the surface of the series, including a great amount of comedy that extends beyond the slapstick silly comedic taste of the children to whom the show primarily panders.Įleven years ago, Paramount gave us the first 'SpongeBob SquarePants' movie - and it was hilarious. From the outside, it looks like nothing more than a purely 100 percent stupid kids show – which isn't unwarranted - but the adults who have actually stopped to watch the show with their kids know that there's quite a bit more to it than just that purely stupid façade. Ever since the day that 'SpongeBob Squarepants' first debuted on television, it has received a bad rap.
