Our Review
“The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water” offers a delightful blend of the show’s trademark humor with innovative animation techniques. The leap from 2D to 3D gives our beloved characters a new dimension, both figuratively and literally. While the plot may be a bit over the top, even by SpongeBob standards, it’s all part of the film’s charm. A splash of fun for both newcomers and longtime fans of the series.
