SpongeBob Swims Back to Theaters in New Movie With Mark Hamill as the Flying Dutchman – Trailer Released

by

This year, SpongeBob is set to return to cinemas with a fresh movie titled “The New Adventure of SpongeBob: The Quest for SquarePants“. Excitement is already building among fans as the trailer has been released. This news comes directly from Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Movies.

In the fourth movie since “SpongeBob SquarePants” debuted on Nickelodeon in 1999, SpongeBob embarks on a thrilling nautical journey and encounters the popular antagonist, the Flying Dutchman, who happens to be a ghost this time. However, unlike before when Brian Doyle-Murray provided the voice, it will now be Mark Hamill lending his talents to bring the spectral sailor to life.

In the upcoming film, the familiar cast remains faithful to their established roles. Tom Kenny reprises his character as SpongeBob, Bill Fagerbakke voices Patrick, Rodger Bumpass continues as Squidward, Clancy Brown returns as Mr. Krabs, Carolyn Lawrence is back as Sandy, and Mr. Lawrence takes on Plankton. Additionally, some new talents are set to join the adventure, including George Lopez, Ice Spice, Arturo Castro, Sherry Cola, and Regina Hall. These additions will likely bring new characters to life in the movie.

One notable difference is the visual style of the film compared to the usual 2D animation in the show. Instead, this movie will be fully rendered in 3D, a technique that SpongeBob SquarePants has previously employed in films like “Sponge Out of Water” (2015) and “Sponge on the Run” (2020). Other spin-off movies such as “Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie” and “Plankton: The Movie” have also employed 3D animation, but they were produced for Netflix.



In this upcoming film, Derek Drymon, who’s previously worked on the SpongeBob series, steps into his first directorial role for a full-length movie. The narrative was devised by Marc Ceccarelli, Kaz, and Pam Brady – all seasoned writers from the SpongeBob universe. Notably, Pam Brady collaborated with Matt Lieberman on the script and is also serving as one of the producers, alongside Lisa Stewart and Aaron Dem.

Despite a few recent appearances in streaming films, SpongeBob’s upcoming movie will mark his return to the big screen after a decade-long absence. The last time audiences enjoyed SpongeBob on the silver screen was with “Sponge Out of Water” back in 2015, raking in $55 million during its opening weekend. Initially planned for a cinema release in 2020, “Sponge on the Run” ultimately bypassed theaters due to the pandemic and landed on Paramount+ instead.

Now, the much-awaited film titled “Search for SquarePants” is set to bring SpongeBob back to the big screen. The movie will premiere in cinemas on December 19. It’s been a long wait, and fans are eagerly anticipating it. As one enthusiastic fan expressed after viewing the trailer, “‘SpongeBob is returning, and it appears he’s bringing along all the fun.’
