The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants

The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants is the fourth theatrical film in the SpongeBob SquarePants series, an animated adventure comedy from Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Movies. It is directed by series veteran Derek Drymon, with a screenplay by Pam Brady and Matt Lieberman, based on a story by Marc Ceccarelli, Kaz, and Pam Brady. The film is set for a theatrical release in the United States on December 19, 2025. The story centers on SpongeBob SquarePants, who is desperate to prove his bravery and finally become a "big guy" in the eyes of his boss, Mr. Krabs. This quest for courage leads him to follow The Flying Dutchman—a mysterious, swashbuckling ghost pirate—on a seafaring comedy-adventure. This journey takes SpongeBob and his friends to the deepest, most dangerous depths of the deep sea where no sponge has ventured before, including locations like Bikini Bottom High School and a spooky underworld. The film explores the theme that true bravery comes from facing your fears, not from physical size or adopting a tough persona, offering a funny, heartfelt, and action-packed underwater experience. The movie features the return of the franchise's main voice cast, including Tom Kenny as SpongeBob SquarePants, Clancy Brown as Mr. Krabs, Bill Fagerbakke as Patrick Star, Rodger Bumpass as Squidward Tentacles, Carolyn Lawrence as Sandy Cheeks, and Mr. Lawrence as Plankton. New additions to the cast include notable names such as Mark Hamill as the voice of The Flying Dutchman, and Ice Spice (Isis Gaston), George Lopez, Sherry Cola, Arturo Castro, and Regina Hall in new featured and supporting roles.
