The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run was officially announced as the third installment in the SpongeBob SquarePants film series.
The movie's theatrical release was delayed due to the global COVID-19 pandemic affecting cinemas worldwide.
Instead of a wide theatrical release, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run was released on streaming platforms and Video on Demand in many countries.
The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run received a theatrical release in Canada, being one of the few countries where it was shown in cinemas during the pandemic.
Watched this in theaters. Was a fun popcorn movie. I didn't like it as much as the first movie though. The nostalgia moments are a lot of fun for me, but the first movie had a ton of those too.
I need to rewatch this and see if it moves from a like to a favorite for me. I forget about it, see it mentioned, and remember that it was way better than I thought it was going to be. This is a great one to watch if you haven't yet.
Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
