Spongebob Squarepants:The Movie

A sponge named Bob lives in Bikini Bottom frying food at the local burger joint dreaming of becoming manager. When he fails to secure the spot at the new franchise because of being a child he heads off on a hero's quest to prove it ain't so.

BBCs Blue Planet caught a mind boggling array of sea life in fabulous detail but David Atteborough kept from us important aspects of sea life behaviour. Most particularly that plankton are in fact megalomaniacal fiends. That's why so many things eat them. They have to be kept in check.

The good thing about a lot of the cartoons from Nickleodeon is their being squarely aimed at children, revelling in silliness. A silliness that those adults who still retain healthy levels of childishness can also revel in. Are you one of those? If you think Spongebob sounds cooler in French, in which he's called Bob Le Ponge Pantalon Carre then you probably are.
