    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Although this movie was intended as a series finale to SpongeBob SquarePants (1999), the show was renewed for a fourth season due to the film's success and the show's popularity. Fans have often claimed that episodes made after the film chronologically take place before it, but this has been confirmed to be untrue by the show's cast and crew, who have claimed that the franchise does not have a set continuity.
    • Goofs
      In the opening sequence, Mr. Krabs says to Spongebob that the customer "took a bite of the burger, and... No cheese!", but when Spongebob goes in to help the customer, there isn't a bite taken from the burger. The opening sequence is a dream and things in dreams aren't always as described.
    • Quotes
      • Crowd: [Regarding King Neptune] BALD! BALD BALD! BALD! BALD!
      • Fish: MY EYES!
    • Crazy credits
      After the credits, the pirates are still in the movie theatre and an usher tells them that they have to leave. After the scene ends, the Paramount Pictures logo is shown.
    • Alternate versions
      In the Hungarian version, much of the dialogue is rendered in rhymes and includes a lot more puns and wordplays than the original.
    • Connections
      Edited into The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie: Deleted Scenes (2004)
