Spongebob Squarepants film Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie is heading to Netflix, here’s the trailer.
Spongebob Squarepants is one of the most iconic, not to mention, successful, shows to emerge from Nickelodeon. Created by Stephen Hillenburg in 1999, the show grew into a huge hut and it is still running today. Clocking up 14 series and almost 300 episodes, it’s the highest rated show on the network.
The show follows the adventures of the tutular anthrpomorohic sponge and his friends, including Sandy, Squidward, Mr Krabs and his beloved snail Gary, under the sea in Bikini Bottom.
The character first made the leap to the big screen in 2004, and since then there have been two further films – Sponge Out Of Water in 2015 and Sponge On The Run in 2021. A fourth theatrical film remains in development.
The latest addition to the SCU – Spongebob Cinematic Universe – is spin-off Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie.

“They messed with the wrong squirrel.” Bikini Bottom has been stolen. Sandy Cheeks & SpongeBob watch in disbelief as everyone’s favorite town is scooped out of the ocean by a sinister, mysterious company. Now, Sandy and SpongeBob must go on an epic quest to Sandy’s home state of Texas and enlist her family to help save Patrick, Squidward, Mr. Krabs and the rest of the gang before time runs out.
