Students and teachers alike anticipate the release of the newest SpongeBob SquarePants movie titled “The SpongeBob Movie: Search For SquarePants.” It will be released in theaters and available exclusively on Paramount+ on Dec. 19, and will be the sixth installment in the SpongeBob SquarePants film series. For some younger fans, SpongeBob SquarePants was a very memorable show from their childhood, adding to the excitement of the new movie.
“I watched [SpongeBob] at my grandma’s,” senior Maggie Fechter said. “My parents wouldn’t let me watch it, so I’d have to sneak it in at my grandma’s.”
With just nine days left until the movie’s release, many predictions and hopes for the movie are still up in the air. Some are hoping to see certain characters and old jokes from the series return.
“I always hope they bring back some of the nostalgia of it,” social studies teacher Kimberly Coil said. “That, always to me, is more fun for anything that is a continuing series, or something that they’re maybe trying to rekindle. Anytime they bring things back, from a pop culture standpoint, it’s fun as long as it’s done well.”
