Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is the first SpongeBob theatrical release centered on a character other than SpongeBob himself, and it took 25 years to happen.
The live-action sequences were filmed in Texas with actual rodeo performers, making this bizarrely the most regionally authentic SpongeBob production ever made.
