It revels in adult-minded asides that fly right over kids’ heads and straight into the disbelieving stares of parents. The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie doesn’t just allude to the building mystery surrounding its characters’ sexuality (see the “Conclusion” for more on this), it repeatedly plays with it. And Patrick prances about wearing women’s high-heeled boots and stockings.

One of the times Patrick’s bareness is beheld, he has a pole wedged between his, ahem, cheeks … a pole with a flag labeled “SpongeBob.” (Patrick asks SpongeBob, “Did you see my butt?) Plankton gives a (male) TV reporter an adoring “look” when he asks for an interview, then coquettishly replies, “ Anything for you.” SpongeBob creeps into Squidward’s shower and begins scrubbing his back for him. It’s at this point that things go from wiggle-giggle to worse. The running gag (that kids seem to get) is, what’s there to see? Krabs and an octopus named Squidward all moon audiences at some point. And it’s obvious the movie’s directors intended to draw as many kiddie laughs as possible from bare bottoms. SpongeBob and Patrick frequently run around in their skivvies. Patrick drools all over the midriff-baring Mindy, exclaiming, “She’s hot.” Caught with his pants down, he asks her, “Did you see my underwear?” She says she didn’t, to which he responds, “Do you want to?” When Plankton opens his “Evil Plan Z” folder, he gawks and pants as if ogling a centerfold model. To do so, he and Patrick must venture to Shell City, a faraway town from which (turn up the sinister reverb to read this) no one has ever returned! With the hamburger maestro facing certain grilling via Neptune’s flaming scepter (and every sea creature in the land of Bikini Bottom about to be put under Plankton’s mind control), our Spongy hero offers to retrieve the crown and save Mr. Krabs, is framed for stealing King Neptune’s crown.
His plan seems to be working when SpongeBob’s boss, Mr. Meanwhile, the miniscule but sinister Plankton is up to his old tricks again, trying to steal the secret formula for those delectable Krabby patties (and, oh yeah, rule the underworld). But when SpongeBob isn’t chosen to be manager of the newest Krusty Krab hamburger joint after years of dedicated service as a fry cook, he’s crushed. The walking yellow rectangle is infectiously optimistic and carefree, especially when hanging around his starfish of a best friend, Patrick. SpongeBob SquarePants is, well, a sea sponge … who wears square pants. So how do you keep a theater full of kids (and adults) fidget-free when they’re used to 10-minute cartoons? You raise the stakes. After a five-year run of small-screen success on Nickelodeon, SpongeBob SquarePants makes his way from the bottom of the sea to the middle of the big screen.
