About the film

Ship's about to go down.

What it’s about

SpongeBob SquarePants wants to prove to Mr. Krabs that he is brave. He and Patrick Star follow the Flying Dutchman, a ghost pirate, into the deepest parts of the sea, where no sponge has gone before. Mr. Krabs and Squidward go after them, trying to bring them back.

What hooks you

Derek Drymon directs, with Tom Kenny voicing SpongeBob and Clancy Brown as Mr. Krabs. The film was nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Animated Film. A locker in a school changing room bears the name "Stephen H.", a nod to series creator Stephen Hillenburg.

Who it’s for

It is worth a look for anyone who enjoys lighthearted underwater adventures with familiar cartoon characters, and for those who like pirate ghosts, silly humour, and stories about friendship and proving oneself.
