The National tour of The SpongeBob Musical has been performed at State Theatre New Jersey. The American Dream mall in East Rutherford features several SpongeBob-themed amusement rides. They include “SpongeBob's Jellyfish Jam,” “Sandy's Blasting Bronco,” and “Bikini Bottom Cross Town Express” at Nickelodeon Universe.
Anyone who grew up with SpongeBob SquarePants is drowning in joy over the recent trailer release.
If you’re like me, you watched the cartoon along with your kids. We witnessed as they grew up with that funny, absorbent guy with the quadrilateral trousers. We watched with them and probably enjoyed the show just as much as they did.
In our family, Mr. SquarePants was also used as a measurement tool. When they would ask “how much longer” during a car ride, we would say, “One SpongeBob” or “Two SpongeBobs.”
There have been over 300 SpongeBob SquarePants episodes, and a handful of movies. The first film, “The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie,” was released in 2004.”
Others that followed include “The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie 2” and “The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run.” There was also “Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie,” released last year.
SquarePants Trailer Released
Now we’ve got another one coming next month, and Paramount Pictures has released the trailer for The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants.
The official trailer’s narrator says, “Long ago, one sailor fell under a wicked curse. The only way to lift this curse is to find the world’s most innocent soul.” A shot of a pirate ship in a storm cuts to SpongeBob waking up in his bed and saying, “I’m ready.” Are you ready?
Even the theme song is an earworm. You’re probably singing it right now. “Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?” If you weren’t, you are now.
The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants film hits New Jersey theaters on Dec. 19th.
