Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years

Tom Kenny admitted that the animation shift to CGI (for both the movie and the series) caught him, some of his fellow-cast members, and even series creator Stephen Hillenburg by surprise. He stated in an interview "Hillenburg and we were a little unsure about the CGI thing. SpongeBob is such a determinedly 2D classic animated looking show." But their wariness was calmed by the producers of the new series, who were also responsible for the still-running original series, "They were able to find a way to take that CGI and lend it the same squashy, stretchy, kinetic, the craziness of 2D, classic animation. That was a puzzle they worked really, really hard to figure out, and I think are still learning on Kamp Koral. I think it's fun to have to learn new tricks when you've been doing something for a while."
