The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run (2020) is the third animated movie based on the television series and it follows SpongeBob and Patrick who embark on an epic adventure to the Lost City of Atlantic City to bring Gary home after he has been snail-napped. This movie was a first time watch for me and it was really good.

Positives for The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run (2020): The movie has a good enough story for SpongeBob and Patrick to do. The voice cast for these iconic characters are still really good in their respective roles. I loved seeing Keanu Reeves interacting with SpongeBob and Patrick. Matt Berry is pretty good as King Poseidon and was a good enough villain. The montage of SpongeBob and Patrick going wild in Atlantic City was humor and the best part of the movie. The flashback scene at Kamp Moral where SpongeBob and Patrick met and became friends with each other was cute and sweet. And finally, I like that SpongeBob got Gary back while being nice to King Poseidon was a good ending to the story.

Negatives for The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run (2020): The movie has sloppy pacing as the story tends to drag during certain parts that gets boring. I also felt that the cameos from the celebrities with the exception of Keanu Reeves were pointless. And finally, the ending drags on for too long and I was done with it at that point.

Overall, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run (2020) is a good movie with SpongeBob going on an adventure with his friends and it will certainly satisfy some SpongeBob fans for the most part.

(2019) is the Broadway stage musical based on SpongeBob SquarePants that was broadcast on television in 2019 where SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy attempt to stop an erupting volcano from destroying Bikini Bottom, while Plankton sees this as his time to strike. This was a first time watch for me and it was awesome.

Positives for The SpongeBob Musical: Live on Stage! (2019): The actors portraying the iconic characters from the Nickelodeon show are amazing. The stage play has a great story to tell with these characters. The musical numbers are amazing and will have people singing and dancing. And finally, this stage play will satisfy SpongeBob fans and musical theater fans.
