Movie ‘SpongeBob’ SpongeBob on ghost hunt to prove bravery
View(s):Hollywood animated adventure comedy SpongeBob made based on the SpongeBob Square Pants television series, created by Stephen Hillenburg is now being screened in theatres in Colombo and the suburbs.
Directed by series veteran Derek Drymon, the film features SpongeBob and friends who are on a seafaring adventure to prove SpongeBob’s bravery by tracking the ghostly pirate The Flying Dutchman to the deep sea, where they encounter mysteries and challenges. Featuring guest stars like Mark Hamill and Ice Spice, the film incorporates humour for both kids and adults.
The fourth theatrical SpongeBob film, released in late 2025, focusing on SpongeBob’s quest to become a ‘big guy’ for Mr. Krabs, the film stars the show’s regular voice cast alongside George Lopez, Arturo Castro, Sherry Cola and Regina Hall.
SpongeBob Square Pants finds that he has grown tall enough to ride an intense roller coaster, but is too afraid to do so. He aspires to be as brave as Mr. Krabs, who tells him that he was a swashbuckler in his youth. Upon discovering Mr. Krabs’ secret basement containing his pirate relics, he unintentionally summons The Flying Dutchman, a ghost pirate who was cursed to eternally roam the Underworld until he can swap places with an innocent soul. Deeming SpongeBob the soul he needs to return to
mortality, he invites him and his best friend Patrick Star into his crew and promises to help SpongeBob become a swashbuckler. Mr. Krabs, regretting having told SpongeBob that he is not brave, follows suit with Squidward Tentacles
and Gary the Snail to
rescue the duo.
The Dutchman informs SpongeBob that he must complete a series of dangerous trials and blow the Dutchman’s horn in order to become a swashbuckler. SpongeBob overcomes the challenges with ease by doing what he believes Mr. Krabs would do.
Released on January 2, ‘SpongeBob’ is now being screened at Kandy City Centre, Liberty by Scope Kollupitiya, SCOPE Cinema – Colombo City Centre, SCOPE Cinema – Havelock City Mall, PVR Cinema, Ram Cinema and Regal Cinemas.
