I’m not sure I liked this one as much as the first SpongeBob movie but I’m glad the original creative team was back for this. It shows. There’s all kinds of bizarre references and surreal sequences that only they would have thought of, and that was the best part.
The voice talent was excellent as always and hand drawn animation was a joy to watch (one of the first animated films released in years with hand drawn animation). Some of the story points felt like a bit of a re-tread of previous TV episodes and a few of the running gags got a little tired but overall, I enjoyed it.
