About

SpongeBob SquarePants is a multimedia franchise, primarily revolving around an animated comedy television series. The show centers around SpongeBob SquarePants, an anthropomorphic sea sponge and his adventures working as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab. Among the main cast are his best friend Patrick Star, grumpy next door neighbor Squidward Tentacles, a land squirrel scientist named Sandy Cheeks, and his penny pinching boss Mr. Krabs. The main antagonist of the series is Plankton, the former friend turned archenemy of Mr. Krabs, who aspires to steal his secret formula.

The series is among the most popular Nicktoons, with SpongeBob being considered Nickelodeon's mascot and receiving more episodes than any other series. In 2004, the show would be adapted into a feature film, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, centered around SpongeBob and Patrick going on an odyssey to retrieve the crown of King Neptune. In the years since its release, many other spin-offs and adaptations would follow, including The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water and The Patrick Star Show.
