'''''[[The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie''']]'' is, [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|well]], [[The Movie|a movie based on the]] [[Nickelodeon]] cartoon ''[[Spongebob SquarePants|SpongeBob SquarePants]]''. And as expected for a movie based on one of Nickelodeon's programs, it's a [[Big Damn Movie|big damn one]]. Check out the radar [[The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie/Radar|here]].
 
In the film, Mr. Krabs opens up a second Krusty Krab restaurant, and SpongeBob is heavily anticipating being promoted to manager of the new restaurant. But to his dismay, Squidward gets the job instead because SpongeBob is supposedly not mature enough for the job. Meanwhile, Plankton finally stops fooling around and enacts his greatest plan to steal the secret Krabby Patty formula -- he steals King Neptune's crown, sends it to the dangerous Shell City, and frames Mr. Krabs for it. When Neptune finds his crown missing, he crashes the Krusty Krab 2 and charges Krabs for the theft, but SpongeBob is willing to travel to Shell City to retrieve the crown, so Neptune gives him six days to find it, during which he has Krabs frozen.
Line 9 ⟶ 8:
While SpongeBob and Patrick head off on their adventure, Plankton makes it past the frozen Krabs and successfully steals the Krabby Patty formula. He then gives away bucket-helmets with all the Krabby Patties he sells, which then turn his customers into his monument-building slaves. Can SpongeBob and Patrick successfully retrieve Neptune's crown and save Bikini Bottom...?
 
A sequel was released in 2015. ''Another'' follow-up film was announced shortly after the success of the second, but it has been pushed back several times; as of the end of 2017, it is currently scheduled for a 2020 premiere.

{{tropelist}}
== This movie contains examples of: ==
 
* [[Absurdly Bright Light]]: off King Neptune's bald head
* [[Adam Westing]]: [[David Hasselhoff]] as a super-swimming lifeguard. "I'm David Hasselhoff!"
Line 32 ⟶ 30:
* [[Dark Reprise]]: {{spoiler|1=SpongeBob and Patrick's tearful rendition of the Goofy Goober theme as they dry out.}}
* [[Darker and Edgier]]
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: AnyoneAny character from the show who isn't SpongeBob, Patrick and Plankton. Squidward, Mrs. Puff and Sandy only show up a few times (despite all being credited in the film's "Main Cast"), and Mr. Krabs spends the movie frozen. Pearl and Gary make cameos. Karen plays a pivotal role, telling Plankton about Plan Z and activating the mind control helmets, but she doesn't have much screen time, either. It's not too surprising that the creators decided not to make the next SpongeBob movie a buddy film.
* [[Deranged Animation]]
* [[Dream Sequence]]: The opening scene.
* [[Drunk Onon Milk]]: In this case, a milk product rather than liquid milk; specifically, ice cream.
* [[Dystopia Justifies the Means]]: What Plankton does to Bikini Bottom
* [[Egopolis]]: After {{spoiler|enslaving all of Bikini Bottom with his mind controlling helmets, Plankton converted it into Planktopolis, complete with giant stone statues of himself.}}
Line 53 ⟶ 51:
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: As it says on the main ''[[SpongeBob]]'' page, King Neptune is ''not'' bald, he is thinning.
* [[Is This Thing Still On?]]?
* [[Kill It Withwith Fire]]: King Neptune tries to do this to Mr. Krabs
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: Dennis.
* [[Love At First Sight]]: Patrick is infatuated with Neptune's daughter Mindy.
Line 59 ⟶ 57:
* [[Magic Feather]]: the seaweed moustaches.
* [[Naked People Are Funny]]
* [[Never Say "Die"]]: Averted. The words "kill" and "die" are used several times. The scene in Shell City has Spongebob stress the words "dead" and "killed" as if to tell the audience "Yes we're defying this trope and using the actual word in a movie for kids."
* [[Not Quite Dead]]: {{spoiler|Dennis gets crushed by the Cyclops when he first catches up with Spongebob and Patrick. He comes back afterwards for the final showdown.}}
* [[Not So Harmless]]: Plankton.
Line 73 ⟶ 71:
* [[Sarcastic Clapping]]: Plankton after SpongeBob and Patrick make it back.
* [[Series Fauxnale]]: This film was meant to serve as the closing to the show, but Nickelodeon insisted on putting the series back in production.
* [[Shout -Out]]: The "nut bar" at Goofy Goober's has pictures of ''[[Pogo (Comiccomic Stripstrip)|Pogo]]'' and ''[[Popeye]]'' comics.
* [[Surreal Humour]]: [[Hilarity Ensues|"Hooray! Bubble Party!"]]
* [[Swiss Army Tears]]: {{spoiler|1=What ultimately saves SpongeBob and Patrick from their [[Disney Death]].}}
Line 83 ⟶ 81:
* [[Tom the Dark Lord]]: We have a vile, dangerous bounty hunter, and his name is... Dennis.
* [[The Un-Reveal]]: Plankton finally finds out the Krabby Patty formula, but we don't.
* [[Welcome to Thethe Big City]]
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: The opening scene features a dramatic scene based around the "crisis" of a customer being given a Krabby Patty without cheese, complete with a slow-motion sequence of SpongeBob putting some cheese into the patty. It's a [[Dream Sequence]], but still...
* [[Your Princess Is in Another Castle]]: {{spoiler|Spongebob and Patrick get Neptune's crown back and seemingly save the day... Then Plankton reveals he had a backup plan and just takes control of [[Physical God|Neptune]].}}
