The only post credits scene I can remember (off the top of my head) is the one where Mageina Tovah as the usher kicks all the pirates out of the cinema. That bit used to be in the plot section (As did Tovah's credit in the cast section), but they were removed here and here. Chaheel Riens (talk) 08:39, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Arinid: Edit Request

Arinid (talk) 19:05, 7 December 2019 (UTC) If it's necessary to put the name of a film, novel, television series, video game, or album, in italics (e.g. Harry Potter, Star Wars, SpongeBob SquarePants, Angry Birds, and The E.N.D.), why do you do it for things that tell you what they are in the name, so you do not have to italicize it (e.g. The Angry Birds Movie and The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie)?[reply]

I'm not trying to judge you, but I just hate it when I see a film name with "the" and/or "movie" in it italicized; it just looks unnecessary.

If you don't have another option and would like me to give you one, I can.

A: If the film is based on something else and just adds "the movie" (or some other variant) to it, just remove "the movie" from the title and rename the film's Wikipedia page so that it ends with "(film)" (e.g. The Angry Birds Movie becomes simply "Angry Birds" and "Angry Birds (film)" and The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie becomes simply "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "SpongeBob SquarePants (film)"). Then, after you introduce the film, go in parentheses "promoted as The Angry Birds Movie/The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie". This also applies if the film isn't based on something else (e.g. The Lego Movie, which becomes simply "Lego", "Lego (2014 film)" as I prefer, and "promoted as The Lego Movie").

B: If the film is based on something else and removes some parts of the name of what it's based on (e.g. The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water and My Little Pony: The Movie), make it so that the name has the full name of what it's based on (e.g. The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water becomes "SpongeBob SquarePants: Sponge Out of Water" and My Little Pony: The Movie becomes "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic" and "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (film)"). Then, after you introduce the film, go in parentheses "stylized and promoted as The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water/My Little Pony: The Movie"

I'm not trying to be mean; I would just really love it if you did this for every novel, film, television series, video game, and album that applies here.

So, will you please?

May I Make a Request for Not Only This Film, But Also It's Sequal, Up-Comming Prequal, and ALL Films with "the Movie" in the Title?

Continuity

When does this movie take place? it's been said before that it chronologically takes place after every single episode in existence and first off, does the sequel happen after or before this movie? and also apparently Vincent Waller claimed that it doesn't happen after every episode, so when does it take place? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.161.223.155 (talk)

Fan project

I have gathered information from reliable sources of the recent fan project The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie Rehydrated; however, I am not sure where I should place it in the article, as there is no Legacy section.

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie Rehydrated!

In honor of Stephen Hillenburg, a non-profit fan-made project, titled The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie Rehydrated, was released online on May 1, 2022. It consists of a recreation of the movie animated by 300 animators with re-recorded music and dialogue. Amid the YouTube premiere, the video was taken down by Paramount Global due to copyright laws. As a result, the hashtag #JusticeForSpongeBob became trending on Twitter against Paramount's action. The video was restored the following day.^[1]^[2]

We could include this in a new subsection of the Reception section, titled "Fan project", but I am not so sure. Thoughts? ObserveOwl (talk) 15:44, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, not 100% sure on this- though I am thinking the same (subsection under 'Reception' following 'Accolades'). It may also be relevant to include at SpongeBob SquarePants#Legacy. Magitroopa (talk) 15:51, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for the reply! If no one objects, I'll soon boldly add it under the Reception section. ObserveOwl (talk) 22:51, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Shelly City

I want to add that the Shell City portion was filmed in Florida. I found a source: The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (2004) - Filming & production - IMDb Cwater1 (talk) 19:39, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The "Cast" section needs to be renovated

Hi, I've seen the article and overall it's not bad at all, but the "Cast" section has several problems. First, it has no references, which makes it an original research section. The other thing is that it doesn't have a summary of the characters and the role they play in the movie. Even though I know they are the same as in the series and there is a list of characters, the summary should still be done so that the section doesn't become bland. That's why I appeal to user @Zingo156: to fix the problem. 181.204.42.146 (talk) 20:34, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm calling on user @Zingo156: again to see what he thinks of the idea and if he can fix the problem. 181.204.42.146 (talk) 19:42, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
