Goofs
At the sacrifice scene, Squidward first appears with his executioner mask already on, but he then puts on again in the next shot of him, even though he first appeared with the mask already worn.

Quotes
Mr. Krabs: The Krabby Patty is what ties us all together! Without it, there will be a complete breakdown of social order! A war of all against all! Dark times are ahead! Dark times indeed!
[He collapses to the ground, sobbing]
Squidward Tentacles: Seriously? Aren't you overreacting a bit?
[Scene changes to Mr. Krabs, Squidward and the Bikini Bottom citizens wearing bad clothes and the citizens ran away, screaming in the ruins of Bikini Bottom]
Mr. Krabs: Welcome to the apocalypse, Mr. Squidward. I hope you like leather.
Squidward Tentacles: I prefer suede.

Crazy credits
During the credits, Squidward does his dance routine from the Season 1 episode, "Culture Shock."

Alternate versions
The UK cinema release have British actors/comedians Stacey Solomon and Alan Carr and popular YouTube vloggers Joe Sugg and Caspar Lee voicing the seagulls. The Australian release redubs the seagull Kyle with Steve Irwin's son Robert. Those versions, however, are not available worldwide as audio tracks on Paramount+.

Remarkably true to its title

This is my first meeting with Spongebob, as I have never seen the show or the previous movie. I was somewhat familiar with it, as anyone exposed to internet popular culture would be, but not enough to know any of the characters by anything but looks. The movie did a great job in establishing everything I needed to know.

I loved how it combined cartoons, live action and CGI. It was flawless. And I was amazed that they dared to have so much of the movie in plain old hand animation. I enjoyed the plot, but I sometimes wished they would have made it a bit more complex, as that could safely have been done without making it harder to understand for children.

The first part of the movie seems like what could have been a regular episode, with small Banderas-breaks in between. The latter part is the fish out of water-story, which could probably have worked just as well without the build up from the first part.

I'm sure children loves this movie, and if you're open to silly characters breaking the fourth wall, you'll have no trouble watching it with them.
