He’s a sponge and he's square, and he lives at the bottom of the ocean…" I recently had a chance to speak with Tom about his work on the franchise, the challenges of being a voice actor and the completely unexplainable appeal of the show.ĭan Sarto: When you were approached with the opportunity to do SpongeBob, what were your first thoughts? "Hmm.
Central to the hilarity of the show and cohesion of the ensemble cast effort is actor and comedian Tom Kenny, the voice of SpongeBob. Just released this week on Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D after a previous launch of the digital download, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water once again unites our favorite Bikini Bottom inhabitants in a madcap adventure – this time, they try to recover the Krabby Patty recipe stolen by Burger-Beard the Pirate, played by Antonio Banderas. 11 years and billions of dollars in merchandising after the original SpongeBob SquarePants Movie hit theatres in 2004, Paramount released a second wildly successful feature, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, earlier this year.
Since the pilot SpongeBob SquarePants episode aired on Nickelodeon back in 1999, the curiously odd and ridiculously nonsensical adventures of a square-shaped sea sponge and the equally bizarre denizens of his aquatic neighborhood have become one of the most successful and longest running animated TV series in history. It’s unfortunate for them that no amount of SpongeBob SquarePants could provide the psychic relief they sorely need.
They could use a little of some other things in their lives as well, but it’s safer for me to comment on their humorless existence rather than their other prominent and voluminous flaws. Which is a shame because most people I know could use a little SpongeBob in their lives.
For an elder type person like me, watching SpongeBob SquarePants is like jetting around on a moped – it’s really enjoyable, but you wouldn’t want your friends seeing you’re riding one around town.
