SpongeBob Is Back in the ‘Search For SquarePants’ Trailer

by

SpongeBob is, self-evidently, a sponge. He cannot be killed. He will go on forever.

He’s appeared on TV for an impressive span of 15 seasons over approximately 25 years, has been extensively merchandised, and starred in two Netflix spinoff films, preparing for his fourth major theatrical release titled “The SpongeBob Movie: Search For SquarePants“. (Interestingly, the third “Spongebob” movie shifted to streaming on Paramount+ due to Covid-19.) The upcoming film boasts an increase in pirate humor by a whopping 1000 percent compared to its predecessors.

There’s a new poster for the film as well.

To put it frankly, I’m not entirely comfortable about setting sail on a vessel with such an unusual sail. There seems to be a risk of having an unplanned trip, given the design of a SpongeBob-themed boat.

Here is the film’s official synopsis:

In their grandest, brand-new, must-see cinematic journey yet, SpongeBob and his Bikini Bottom companions embark on a voyage…The SpongeBob Movie: The Quest for Mr. SquarePants. Eager to prove himself as a hero, SpongeBob embarks on an exciting sea adventure, tracking the enigmatic ghost pirate, The Flying Dutchman, into the deepest parts of the ocean that no sponge has ever ventured before – all in hopes of impressing Mr. Krabs with his courage.

The SpongeBob Movie: Search For SquarePants is set to open in theaters on December 19, 2025.

The Scariest Kids Movies in History

10. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory

This popular movie adaptation is inspired by the beloved Roald Dahl book “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory“. It’s a delightful tale revolving around a destitute boy, whose dreams take flight. However, upon reflection, it can be perceived as a somewhat ominous storyline about a quirky candy factory proprietor who selects his heir by eliminating a group of children progressively. Suddenly, the family-friendly image fades away.

9. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Disney’s first full-length animated masterpiece was brimming with eeriness. Apart from the Spooky Trees, it’s hard to deny the ominous undertones of an evil queen who plots to imprison an innocent young girl’s beating heart in a container. Fortunately, the Seven Dwarfs provided some much-needed levity.

8. The Last Unicorn

The 1982 animated film “The Last Unicorn” from Japan and America is packed with unusual scenes, such as an interaction with a butterfly under the influence, a terrifying skeleton, and let’s just say… a tree endowed with ample bust. However, none of these instances were as unsettling as the Red Bull, a fiery-red demonic creature that continues to haunt our nightmares.

7. James and the Giant Peach

Overflowing with centipedes, spiders, and wicked step-relatives (oh dear!), James and the Giant Peach was a spine-tingling adventure for young readers. The dark animation style of producers Tim Burton and director Henry Selick added an extra layer of eeriness to the tale, causing shivers down the spines of many children who dared to partake in this peculiar journey. Can’t help but feel a shiver when you take a bite out of a peach yourself?

6. Pinocchio

In a seemingly delightful tale by Walt Disney, there’s a hidden layer of gloominess. For instance, Pinocchio experiences a heart-wrenching death before the Blue Fairy miraculously brings him back to life. Moreover, the disturbing Pleasure Island is hard to ignore; it’s a place where children are lured into gambling, smoking, and drinking, ultimately transforming them into donkeys and sold as laborers – definitely not a fairy tale ending we expect!

5. All Dogs Go To Heaven

While it’s commonly believed that all dogs might reach heaven, this movie uniquely portrays a canine going to Hell. To make matters worse, it features a dog-related criminal underworld and excessive violence. In the finale, our protagonist Charlie sacrifices himself to save a child, only to perish in the act. Since his selfless deed grants him entry into heaven, one might question if this is a joyful ending. This scenario may spark existential doubts among children. In essence, it presents a childhood conundrum about the nature of goodness and its rewards.

4. The Secret of NIMH

Revising for a more accessible and kid-friendly tone: In the 1982 animated film The Secret of NIMH, we follow rats coping with sickness and medicine side effects, which were inspired by real-life experiments at the National Institute of Mental Health in the mid-1900s. But don’t worry, young readers! This story is a fantasy, not based on actual events involving lab rats.

3. Watership Down

As a dedicated movie enthusiast, I can’t help but share my thoughts on “Watership Down,” a film adaptation from Richard Adams’ 1972 fantasy novel about a group of resourceful rabbits venturing on a dangerous quest to safeguard their home from the threat of human encroachment. What I wasn’t prepared for was the sheer brutality this movie presented, leaving indelible images of ruthless rabbit battles etched in my mind forever. From now on, bunnies will no longer be synonymous with cute and cuddly creatures.

2. Return to Oz

In a different wording: The original tale of The Wizard of Oz contained some scary parts, but its follow-up film Return to Oz was genuinely petrifying. Upon being subjected to electroshock treatment by Aunt Em and Uncle Henry, Dorothy finds herself back in a devastated Oz, filled with an entirely new set of disquieting creatures. The Wheelers, part human, part bicycle, were far more alarming than the Flying Monkeys ever could be. If you happened to watch this movie as a child, you got the raw end of the deal. End of story.

1. Coraline

This “kids” movie, Coraline, might be the most terrifying one yet. From its dark opening scene depicting Coraline’s life to her nerve-wracking encounter with the Other Mother, this visually stunning film is genuinely chilling. The film’s themes of family and the value of appreciating what you have before it disappears are equally unsettling for both kids and adults. It’s quite profound considering it’s a movie about an 11-year-old girl with blue hair.
