Review of The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run (2020) by Unclewillard — 06 Mar 2021

Really fun. The plot is kinda generic, but the real draw is the 3D animation. It really brought depth and color (hard to imagine more color) to well-tread ground and I loved seeing all my favorite parts of BB and it's denizens. I generally don't care for this move (exceptions being this, Peanuts, and Lupin), but it was a homer here.

Drawbacks were Camp Coral and the guest stars. Hard to believe they felt the need to nerf a kids show, but I did not like the idea of the kids portrayed as these nobler then though characters who, I guess, turn into the goofy doors we know and love. I know it's a plug for the new show, but the original appealed to all ages, CC is for 5 and under. The guest stars just impeded the plot more than helped it. It was a distraction and added nothing.
