Plot summary[edit]

Mixing deduction and character-driven drama, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation follows a team of crime-scene investigators, employed by the Las Vegas Police Department, as they use physical evidence to solve murders. The team is originally led by Gil Grissom (Petersen), a socially awkward forensic entomologist and career criminalist who is promoted to CSI supervisor following the death of a trainee investigator. Grissom's second-in-command, Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger), is a single mother with a cop's instinct. Born and raised in Las Vegas, Catherine was a stripper before being recruited into law enforcement and training as a blood-spatter specialist. Following Grissom's departure during the ninth season of the series, Catherine is promoted to supervisor. After overseeing the training of new investigator Raymond Langston (Fishburne), Willows is replaced by D.B. Russell (Danson), and recruited to the FBI shortly thereafter. Russell is a family man, a keen forensic botanist, and a veteran of the Seattle Crime Lab. In the series' 12th season, Russell is reunited with his former partner Julie Finlay (Elisabeth Shue), who, like Catherine, is a blood-spatter expert with an extensive knowledge of criminal psychology. With the rest of the team, they work to tackle Las Vegas's growing crime rate and are on the job 24/7, scouring the scene, collecting the evidence, and finding the missing pieces that will solve the mystery.

Creation[edit]

Concept and development[edit]

During the 1990s, Anthony Zuiker caught producer Jerry Bruckheimer's attention after writing his first movie script. Zuiker was convinced that a series was in the concept; Bruckheimer agreed and began developing the series with Touchstone Pictures.^[1] The studio's head at the time liked the spec script and presented it to ABC, NBC, and Fox executives, who decided to pass. The head of drama development at CBS saw potential in the script, and the network had a pay-or-play contract with actor William Petersen, who said he wanted to do the CSIpilot. The network's executives liked the pilot so much, they decided to include it in their 2000 schedule immediately, airing on Fridays after The Fugitive. After CBS picked up the show, the Disney-owned Touchstone decided to pull out of the project, since they didn't want to spend so much money producing a show for another network (ABC is also owned by Disney).^[1] Instead of the intended effect of making CBS cancel the show (since it no longer had a producer), Bruckheimer was able to convince Alliance Atlantis to step in as a producer, saving the show and adding CBS as another producer.^[1] Initially, CSI was thought to benefit from The Fugitive (a remake of the 1960s series), which was expected to be a hit, but by the end of 2000, CSI had a much larger audience.^[2]

Production[edit]

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation was produced by Jerry Bruckheimer Television and CBS Productions, which became CBS Paramount Television in the fall of 2006 and CBS Television Studios three years later. Formerly a co-production with the now-defunct Alliance Atlantis Communications, that company's interest was later bought by the investment firm GS Capital Partners, an affiliate of Goldman Sachs.^[3] CBS acquired AAC's international distribution rights to the program, though the non-US DVD distribution rights did not change (for example, Momentum Pictures continues to own UK DVD rights). The series is currently in syndication, and reruns are broadcast in the U.S. on Oxygen, Syfy and the USA Network on cable, with Ion Television holding the broadcast syndication rights. The show has aired in reruns on the USA Network since January 14, 2011.^[4] The CSI catalog has been exclusive to the whole NBC Universal portfolio since September 2014, after several years with Viacom Media Networks' Spike and TV Land.^[4]

Filming locations[edit]

CSI was shot at Rye Canyon, a corporate campus owned by Lockheed Martin situated in the Valencia area of Santa Clarita, California,^[5] but after episode 11, filming shifted to the Santa Clarita Studios, originally chosen for its similarity to the outskirts of Las Vegas. Occasionally, the cast still shot on location in Las Vegas (the season-four DVD set revealed that the episode 'Suckers' was mostly shot during December 2003 in Las Vegas, where they filmed a Gothic club scene on location for rent, and in January 2004, some scenes were filmed at Caesars Palace), although primarily Las Vegas was used solely for second unit photography such as exterior shots of streets.^[6] Other California locations include Verdugo Hills High School, UCLA's Royce Hall, Pasadena City Hall, and California State University, Los Angeles. While shooting took place primarily at Universal Studios in Universal City, California, Santa Clarita's surroundings had proven so versatile, CSI still shot some outdoor scenes there.^[7]

Music[edit]

CSI's theme song was, since the last episode of season one, 'Who Are You', written by Pete Townshend with vocals by lead singer Roger Daltrey of The Who. Daltrey made a special appearance in the season-seven episode 'Living Legend', which also contained many musical references such as the words 'Who's next' on a dry-erase board in the episode's opening sequence. In certain countries, to avoid music licensing fees, a unique theme was used, instead.

Throughout the series, music played an important role; artists such as Ozzy Osbourne, The Wallflowers, John Mayer, and Akon (with Obie Trice) performed onscreen in the episodes 'Skin in the Game', 'The Accused Is Entitled', 'Built To Kill, Part 1', and 'Poppin' Tags', respectively. Mogwai was often heard during scenes showing forensic tests in progress, as were Radiohead and Cocteau Twins, but several other artists lent their music to CSI, including Rammstein and Linkin Park—used heavily in Lady Heather's story arc. Sigur Rós can be heard playing in the background in the episode 'Slaves of Las Vegas', The Turtles in 'Grave Danger', and Marilyn Manson in 'Suckers'. A cover of the Tears for Fears song 'Mad World', arranged by Michael Andrews and featuring vocals by Gary Jules, was used in the pilot episode and during three episodes of season six ('Room Service', 'Killer', and 'Way to Go'). Industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails was also featured multiple times throughout the three series. One episode started with The Velvet Underground's excited rendition of 'Sweet Jane' and ended with the downbeat version of Cowboy Junkies' revision of the song. Character David Hodges' good luck has, on occasion, been accompanied by Electric Light Orchestra's 'Mr. Blue Sky'. This song was first used in the season-seven episode 'Lab Rats', and last used during season 10's 'Field Mice'.

Spin-offs[edit]

Franchise[edit]

From CSI, CBS produced a franchise starting in 2002 with a spin-off entitled CSI: Miami. Set in Miami, Florida, and starring David Caruso and Emily Procter, Miami later launched CSI: NY in 2004. Starring Gary Sinise, Sela Ward, and Melina Kanakaredes, NY was set in New York City and was based upon the idea that 'Everything is Connected'. In 2015, a fourth CSI series, entitled CSI: Cyber, starring Patricia Arquette and Ted Danson, was created. It focuses on the FBI's elite Cyber Crime Division. The CSI series exists within the same fictional 'universe' as fellow CBS police dramas Without a Trace and Cold Case. A number of comic books, video games, and novels based on the series have been made.

CSI: The Experience[edit]

In 2006, the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History developed a traveling museum exhibit called 'CSI: The Experience'. On May 25, 2007, Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry was the first museum to host the exhibit, and the exhibit's opening featured stars from the TV series.^[10] Also a supporting website designed for the benefit of people who cannot visit the exhibit was developed,^[11] designed by Rice University's Center for Technology in Teaching and Learning and Left Brain Media.^[12]'CSI: The Experience' also has an interactive attraction at the MGM Grand Las Vegas in Las Vegas, and the Mall of America in Minneapolis, Minnesota.^[13]

Reception[edit]

Critical and commercial reception[edit]

During its 15 years in production, CSI secured an estimated world audience of over 73.8 million viewers (in 2009),^[14] commanded, as of the fall of 2008, an average cost of $262,600 for a 30-second commercial,^[15] and reached milestone episodes including the 100th ('Ch-Ch-Changes'), the 200th ('Mascara') and the 300th ('Frame by Frame'). CSI spawned three spin-off series, a book series, several video games, and an exhibit at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry. At the time of its cancellation, CSI was the seventh-longest-running scripted U.S. primetime TV series overall and had been recognized as the most popular dramatic series internationally by the Festival de Télévision de Monte-Carlo, which awarded the series the International Television Audience Award (Best Television Drama Series) three times.^[14][16]CSI became the second-most watched show on American television by 2002,^[17] finally taking the top position for the 2002–2003 season. It was later named the most watched show in the world for the sixth time in 2016, making it the most watched show for more years than any other show.^[18]

Critical reception to the show has been positive, with an IMDB score of 7.8/10,^[19] while early reviews showed a mixed to favorable review of the opening season. The Hollywood Reporter noted of the pilot '...the charismatic William Petersen and the exquisite Marg Helgenberger, lend credibility to the portrayals that might be indistinct in lesser hands. There's also a compelling, pulsating edge at the outset of CSI that commands instant attention, thanks in part to dynamic work from director Danny Cannon.'.^[20]Entertainment Weekly gave the opening two seasons 'B+' and 'A-' ratings, respectively, noting: 'The reason for CSI’s success is that it combines a few time-tested TV elements in a fresh way. Each episode presents a murder case and a group of lovable heroes armed with cool, high-tech gadgets who do the sleuthing and wrap things up in an hour.'^[21][22] The show has won six Primetime Emmy awards (out of 39 nominations) and four People's Choice awards (out of six nominations) and was nominated for six Golden Globe Awards, among other awards.

According to T.V. media critic Liv Hausken, crime drama T.V. shows like CSI normalizes surveillance. 'The absence of any critical distance to technology on CSI involves a lack of reflection on the security of information (that is, the constant risk of losing sensitive data) and the potential use and misuse of information. This can be contrasted with a whole range of crime series that may rely heavily on surveillance technologies but neverthe-less allow critical reflection as part of the plot as such (showing misinterpretationof data or misuse of surveillance techniques)...This trust in technologies on CSI is important for understanding the status of sur-veillance in this fictional universe. It is also an indicator of the show’s presentation ofpower, a third component for consideration in this discussion about how CSI lends a certain normalization of surveillance to everyday life...The series ignores the fact that everyone is a cultural being, that each person sees something as something, that they understand things from particular perspectives in everyday life as well as in science.'^[23]

Public reaction[edit]

CSI was often criticized for its level and explicitness of graphic violence, images, and sexual content. The CSI series and its spin-off shows have been accused of pushing the boundary of what is considered acceptable viewing for primetime network television. The series had numerous episodes on sexual fetishism and other forms of sexual pleasure (notably the recurring character of Lady Heather, a professional dominatrix). CSI was ranked among the worst primetime shows by the Parents Television Council from its second through sixth seasons,^{[24][25][26][27]} being ranked the worst show for family prime-time viewing after the 2002–2003^[28] and 2005–2006^[29] seasons. The PTC also targeted certain CSI episodes for its weekly 'Worst TV Show of the Week' feature.^{[30][31][32][33][34][35]} In addition, the episode 'King Baby' that aired in February 2005, which the PTC named the most offensive TV show of the week,^[35] also led the PTC to start a campaign to file complaints with the FCC with the episode;^[36] to date, nearly 13,000 PTC members complained to the Federal Communications Commission about the episode.^[37] The PTC also asked Clorox to pull their advertisements from CSI and CSI: Miami because of the graphically violent content on those programs.^[38]

A grassroots campaign started on August 2007, upon rumors of Jorja Fox leaving the show,^[39] organized by the online forum Your Tax Dollars At Work. Many of its 19,000 members donated to the cause, collecting over $8,000 for gifts and stunts targeted at CBS executives and CSI's producers and writers. The stunts included a wedding cake delivery to Carol Mendelsohn, 192 chocolate-covered insects with the message 'CSI Without Sara Bugs Us' to Naren Shankar, and a plane flying several times over the Universal Studios of Los Angeles with a 'Follow the evidence keep Jorja Fox on CSI' banner.^[40][41] Other protests included mailing the show's producers a dollar, to save Fox's contract 'one dollar at a time'. By October 16, 2007, according to the site's tally, more than 20,000 letters with money or flyers had been mailed to the Universal Studios and to CBS headquarters in New York from 49 different countries since the campaign started on September 29, 2007.^[42][43][44] Fox and Mendelsohn chose to donate the money to Court Appointed Special Advocate, a national association that supports and promotes court-appointed advocates for abused or neglected children.^[45]

On September 27, 2007, after CSI's season eight premiered, a miniature model of character Gil Grissom's office (which he was seen building during season seven) was put up on eBay. The auction ended October 7, with the prop being sold for $15,600; CBS donated the proceeds to the National Court Appointed Special Advocate Association.^[46]

Law enforcement reaction[edit]

Real-life crime scene investigators and forensic scientists warn that popular television shows like CSI (often specifically citing CSI) do not give a realistic picture of the work, wildly distorting the nature of crime-scene investigators' work, and exaggerating the ease, speed, effectiveness, drama, glamour, influence, scope, and comfort level of their jobs, which they describe as far more mundane, tedious, limited, and boring, and very commonly failing to solve a crime.^{[47][48][49][50]}

Another criticism of the show is the depiction of police procedure, which some^[51] consider to be decidedly lacking in realism.^[52] For instance, the show's characters not only investigate ('process') crime scenes, but they also conduct raids, engage in suspect pursuit and arrest, interrogate suspects, and solve cases, all of which falls under the responsibility of uniformed officers and detectives, not CSI personnel. Although 'some' detectives are also registered CSIs, this is exceedingly rare in actual life. It is considered an inappropriate and improbable practice to allow CSI personnel to be involved in detective work, as it would compromise the impartiality of scientific evidence and would be impracticably time-consuming. Additionally, it is inappropriate for the CSIs who process a crime scene to be involved in the examination and testing of any evidence collected from that scene. CSI shares this characteristic with similar British drama series Silent Witness.

However, not all law enforcement agencies have been as critical; many CSIs have responded positively to the show's influence and enjoy their new reputation. In the UK, scenes of crime officers now commonly refer to themselves as CSIs. Some constabularies, such as Norfolk, have even gone so far as to change the name of the unit to Crime Scene Investigation.^[53] Also, recruitment and training programs have seen a massive increase in applicants, with a far wider range of people now interested in something previously regarded as a scientific backwater.^[54]

CSI effect[edit]

The 'CSI effect' is a reference to the alleged phenomenon of CSI raising crime victims' and jury members' real-world expectations of forensic science, especially crime-scene investigation and DNA testing.^[55] This is said to have changed the way that many trials are presented today, in that prosecutors are pressured to deliver more forensic evidence in court.^[56] Victims and their families are coming to expect instant answers from showcased techniques such as DNA analysis and fingerprinting, when actual forensic processing often takes days or weeks, with no guarantee of revealing a 'smoking gun' for the prosecution's case. District attorneys state that the conviction rate has decreased in cases with little physical evidence, largely due to the influence on jury members of CSI.^[57] Some police and district attorneys have criticized the show for giving the public an inaccurate perception of how police solve crimes.

In 2006, the evidence cited in support of the supposed effect was mainly anecdotes from law enforcement personnel and prosecutors, and allegedly little empirical examination had been done on the effect, and the one study published by then suggested that the phenomenon might be an urban myth.^[58] However, more recent research suggests that these modern TV shows do have an influence on public perceptions and expectations, and on juror behavior.^[59][60] One researcher has suggested screening jurors for the level of influence that such TV programs has had.^[60]

Ratings[edit]

DVR ratings[edit]

The show ranked number three in DVR playback (3.07 million viewers), according to Nielsen prime DVR lift data from September 22 to November 23, 2008.^[61]

The U.S. box sets are released by CBS DVD (distributed by Paramount), while the Canadian box sets are released by Alliance Atlantis (distributed by Universal Studios). The first season DVD release differs from all subsequent seasons in that it is available only in 1.33:1 or 4:3 full frame, rather than the subsequent aspect ratio of 1.78:1 or 16:9 widescreen, which is the HDTV standard aspect ratio.

The first season is also the only DVD release of the series not to feature Dolby Digital 5.1 surround audio, instead offering Dolby Digital stereo sound.

The Blu-ray Disc release of season one is 7.1 DTS sound and 1.78:1 widescreen.

Regions 2[edit]

Regions 2 releases have followed a pattern whereby each season is progressively released in two parts (each of 11 or 12 episodes [except for Season 8, in which part 1 contained 8 episodes and the Without a Trace crossover and part 2 contained the remaining 9 episodes] with special features split up) before finally being sold as a single box set. After having been almost 12 months behind region 2 releases after the first four series, region 4 releases are speeding up, with distributors simply releasing season five as a complete box set.

Other releases[edit]

CSI has also been released as a series of mobile games. In Fall 2007, CBS teamed up with game developer Gameloft to bring CSI to mobile phones. The first of the series to be published was CSI: Miami. The game features actual cast members such as Alexx Woods and Calleigh Duquesne who are trying to solve a murder in South Beach with the player's assistance.^[70] The game is also available for download on various iPod devices.^[71]

In spring 2008, Gameloft and CBS released 'CSI: Crime Scene Investigation – The Mobile Game' which is based on the original series in Las Vegas. This game introduces the unique ability to receive calls during the game to provide tips and clues about crime scenes and evidence. As for the storyline, the game developers collaborated with Anthony E. Zuiker (the series creator) to ensure that the plot and dialogue were aligned with the show's style.^[72]

• True Stories of CSI: The Real Crimes Behind the Best Episodes of the Popular TV Show (published August 2009)—Katherine Ramsland follows the evidence and revisits some of the most absorbing episodes of the phenomenally popular C.S.I. television franchise, and explores the real-life crimes that inspired them. She also looks into the authenticity of the forensic investigations recreated for the dramatizations, and the painstaking real-life forensic process employed in every one of the actual cases—from notorious mass murderer Richard Speck, through the massacre of Buddhist monks in an Arizona Temple, to a baffling case of apparent spontaneous combustion.

Comic books[edit]

• In 2003, comic book publisher IDW Publishing began releasing a series of one-shots & miniseries based on all three CSI series, with the majority being based on the original Vegas-based series.
• In September 2009, Tokyopop released a manga version of CSI written by Sekou Hamilton and drawn by Steven Cummings. It centers around five teenagers working at the Las Vegas Crime Lab as interns as they try to solve a murder case of a student at their high school, which leads to a shocking discovery. Grissom and Catherine are seen now and then, as well as other CSI characters.

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie is a 2004 American live-action/animatedcomedy film based on the Nickelodeonanimated television seriesSpongeBob SquarePants. The film was co-written, directed, and produced by series creator Stephen Hillenburg, with live-action sequences directed by Mark Osborne, and features the series' cast of Tom Kenny, Bill Fagerbakke, Clancy Brown, Rodger Bumpass and Mr. Lawrence. The film also has new actors which include Scarlett Johansson, Jeffrey Tambor, Alec Baldwin and David Hasselhoff (as himself), and is the first film in the SpongeBob SquarePants film series. In this film, Plankton devises a plan to discredit his business nemesis Mr. Krabs, steal the Krabby Patty secret formula and take over the world by stealing King Neptune's crown and framing Mr. Krabs for the crime. SpongeBob and Patrick team up to retrieve the crown from Shell City to save Mr. Krabs from Neptune's wrath and the oceanic world from Plankton's rule.

Previous offers by Paramount Pictures for a film adaptation of SpongeBob SquarePants had been rejected by Stephen Hillenburg, but he eventually accepted one offer in 2002. A writing team consisting of Hillenburg, Paul Tibbitt, Derek Drymon, Aaron Springer, Kent Osborne and Tim Hill was assembled, conceiving the idea of a mythical hero's quest and the search for a stolen crown, which would bring SpongeBob and Patrick to the surface. The film was originally intended as the series finale, but Nickelodeon ordered more episodes of the series as it had become increasingly profitable, so Hillenburg resigned as showrunner with Tibbitt taking his place.

The film was widely promoted by Paramount and Nickelodeon, with tie-in promotions made by 7-Eleven, the Cayman Islands and Burger King, which decorated various of its franchises with 9-foot (2.7 m) SpongeBob inflatable figures. The film was released on November 19, 2004, grossing $140 million worldwide,^[3] and received generally positive reviews from critics. A sequel titled The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water was released in 2015, and a prequel titled The SpongeBob Movie: It's a Wonderful Sponge is scheduled for release in 2020.

Plot[edit]

A group of pirates find tickets to The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie in a treasure chest and enter a theater to watch the film after raiding the concession stand.

SpongeBob SquarePants cheerfully prepares for the opening ceremony for the Krusty Krab 2, expecting his boss Mr. Krabs to promote him to manager of the new restaurant. Instead, Mr. Krabs names Squidward Tentacles as manager, thinking SpongeBob is too immature to handle the role, much to SpongeBob's disappointment. Meanwhile, Mr. Krabs' business rival, Plankton, complains about his failures to his computer wife Karen, being unable to steal the Krabby Patty Secret Formula. When Karen points out plan 'Z', a scheme which he has yet to attempt, Plankton decides to implement it.

That night, SpongeBob drowns his sorrows in ice cream with his best friend Patrick Star. Elsewhere, Plankton steals King Neptune's crown, leaving false evidence to frame Mr. Krabs for the crime, and sends the crown to the distant land of Shell City. The next morning, Neptune barges into the Krusty Krab 2 and threatens Mr. Krabs for his alleged thievery. SpongeBob arrives and chastises Mr. Krabs under the influence of an ice cream headache, but seeing his boss's life at risk shocks SpongeBob back to his senses and he promises Neptune that he will retrieve the crown from Shell City. Neptune is convinced by his daughter Mindy to spare Mr. Krabs for the time being and freezes him instead, ordering SpongeBob to return with the crown in six days. Soon after SpongeBob and Patrick leave for Shell City, Plankton steals the Krabby Patty formula and uses it to produce and sell Krabby Patties at his restaurant, the Chum Bucket. He also gives away free 'Chum Bucket Helmets' to customers, which are actually mind-control devices that Plankton activates to control Bikini Bottom's residents and take over the city.

As their journey continues, SpongeBob and Patrick reach a dangerous, monster-filled trench. Coming to the conclusion that they cannot complete their quest due to their immaturity, they tearfully give up. Mindy arrives at the trench and tells SpongeBob and Patrick of Plankton's plan. She pretends to magically turn them into men by giving them seaweed mustaches. With their confidence boosted, they brave the trench but are confronted by Dennis, a hitman hired by Plankton to eliminate them. Dennis is stepped on by a hardhat diver that SpongeBob and Patrick believe to be a Cyclops. The Cyclops grabs SpongeBob and Patrick, and takes them to his beachside store, revealed to be Shell City.

In the store, SpongeBob and Patrick find the crown, but are dehydrated by the Cyclops' heat lamp and die. Their tears short-circuit the lamp's power cord, and its smoke activates the sprinkler system, reviving them and the other dried sea creatures intended to be sold as souvenirs. As the vengeful sea creatures attack and overwhelm the Cyclops, SpongeBob and Patrick take the crown and head for the beach, where David Hasselhoff appears and offers them a ride. He swims from the beach to Bikini Bottom carrying them on his back. Dennis catches up to them but is knocked by a catamaran back into the sea.

At the Krusty Krab 2, King Neptune arrives to execute Mr. Krabs, but SpongeBob and Patrick return with the crown just before he is able to do so. They confront Plankton, who drops a mind-control bucket on Neptune, enslaving him. Before Plankton can direct Neptune to kill them, SpongeBob accepts his childlike nature and bursts into song, transforming into an electric guitar-wielding wizard. He shoots lasers from his guitar, destroying the mind-controlling helmets and freeing Neptune and Bikini Bottom's residents from Plankton's rule. Plankton tries to escape, but is stepped on and crushed by other citizens. Plankton is arrested and Neptune thanks SpongeBob for his bravery. Neptune thaws out Mr. Krabs, who makes SpongeBob manager of the Krusty Krab 2 in gratitude.

In a post-credits scene, the pirates which have been watching the film are told by an usher to leave the theater, which they begrudgingly do.

Production[edit]

Development[edit]

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie was long-planned;^[4]Nickelodeon and Paramount Pictures had approached series creator Stephen Hillenburg for a film based on the show, but he refused for more than a year.^[5] Hillenburg was concerned, after watching The Iron Giant and Toy Story with his son, about the challenge of SpongeBob and Patrick doing something more cinematically-consequential and inspiring without losing what he calls the SpongeBob 'cadence'.^[5] He said, on a break from season-four post-production, 'To do a 75-minute movie about SpongeBob wanting to make some jellyfish jelly would be a mistake, I think [...] This had to be SpongeBob in a great adventure. That's where the comedy's coming from, having these two naïve characters, SpongeBob and Patrick, a doofus and an idiot, on this incredibly dangerous heroic odyssey with all the odds against them.'^[5]

In 2002, Hillenburg and the show's staff stopped making episodes to work on the film after the show's third season.^[6] The film's plot originally had SpongeBob rescue Patrick from a fisherman in Florida;^[6] an obvious reference to the 2003 film, Finding Nemo, this was later said by Tom Kenny (the voice of SpongeBob) to be a 'joke' plot to keep fans busy.^[6] Hillenburg wrote the film with five other writer-animators from the show (Paul Tibbitt, Derek Drymon, Aaron Springer, Kent Osborne and Tim Hill) over a three-month period in a room of a former Glendale, California bank.^[5] Osborne said, 'It was hugely fun [...] although it did get kind of gamy in there.'^[5] At the beginning of the series, Hillenburg screened a number of silent shorts (from Laurel and Hardy, Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton) and work by two modern comic actors: Jerry Lewis and Pee-wee Herman, both obvious inspirations for SpongeBob.^[7] For the film, the writers created a mythical hero's quest: the search for a stolen crown, which brings SpongeBob and Patrick to the surface.^[7]Bill Fagerbakke (the voice of Patrick) said about the plot, 'It's just nuts. I'm continually dazzled and delighted with what these guys came up with.'^[8]

When the film was completed, Hillenburg wanted to end the series 'so [it] wouldn't jump the shark'. However, Nickelodeon desired more episodes;^[9] Hillenburg stated: 'Well, there was concern when we did the movie [in 2004] that the show had peaked. There were concerns among executives at Nickelodeon.'^[10][11] As a result, Hillenburg resigned as the series' showrunner,^[12] appointing writer, director, and storyboard artistPaul Tibbitt to succeed him.^[13] Tibbitt was one of Hillenburg's favorite crew members:^[14] '[I] totally trusted him.'^[15] Tibbitt would remain showrunner until he was succeeded in 2015 by the show's creative director Vincent Waller and staff writer Marc Ceccarelli. He has also acted as an executive producer since 2008.^[13][16] Hillenburg no longer wrote or ran the show on a day-to-day basis, but reviewed each episode and submitted suggestions: 'I figure when I'm pretty old I can still paint [...] I don't know about running shows.'^[12][17]Tom Kenny, Bill Fagerbakke and the crew confirmed that they had completed four episodes for broadcast on Nickelodeon in early 2005,^[18][19] and planned to finish a total of about 20 for the fourth season.^[18][19] In 2015, Hillenburg returned to the show following the completion of the second movie as an executive producer, now having greater creative input and attending crew meetings.^[20][21]

In September 2003, Jules Engel, Hillenburg's mentor when he studied experimental animation at the California Institute of the Arts, died.^[22] Hillenburg dedicated the film to him: 'He truly was the most influential artistic person in my life. I consider him my 'Art Dad.'^[23][24][25]

Casting[edit]

The film stars the series' main cast members: Tom Kenny as SpongeBob SquarePants, Gary the Snail and the French Narrator, Bill Fagerbakke as Patrick Star, Rodger Bumpass as Squidward Tentacles, Clancy Brown as Mr. Krabs, Mr. Lawrence as Plankton, Jill Talley as Karen, Carolyn Lawrence as Sandy Cheeks, Mary Jo Catlett as Mrs. Puff, and Lori Alan as Pearl Krabs. It also features Dee Bradley Baker as Perch Perkins, Carlos Alazraqui as King Neptune's squire, Aaron Hendry as the Cyclops, and Neil Ross as the voice of the Cyclops. In addition to the series' cast, it was reported on March 23, 2004 that Scarlett Johansson, Jeffrey Tambor and Alec Baldwin would play new characters Princess Mindy, King Neptune and Dennis, respectively, and David Hasselhoff would appear as himself.^[26][27]

Johansson accepted the role because she likes cartoons and was a fan of The Ren & Stimpy Show.^[28] When Jeffrey Tambor signed for his voice cameo, he saw his character (King Neptune) and joked, 'This is me.'^[28] He remembered the first cartoon he saw, Bambi: 'My first cartoon, I had to be carried out crying [...] It was Bambi. It's like the great American wound: the death of Bambi's mother. 'Run, Bambi, run!'^[29] Another guest voice was Alec Baldwin;^[27] Stephen Hillenburg said that the actor recorded his character Dennis on a 'phone':^[28] 'I wouldn't say that about his performance. He might be mad if we said that. Technically, it was like he was in another booth in the studio.'^[28]

Baywatch and Knight Rider star David Hasselhoff accepted the role when his daughters, Taylor-Ann and Hayley, urged him:^[30] 'I got an offer to do a cameo in the SpongeBob Movie and I turned to my girls, who were like 16 and 14, and I said, 'Who's SpongeBob?' and they said, 'Oh my God, Dad, it's the number one cartoon in the world, you gotta do it.'^[30] Hasselhoff enjoyed his cameo: 'It was great fun and to this day around the world kids stop me and say, 'Are you David Hasselhoff?' because I was the only human in the picture.'^[30] Hasselhoff said that the film gained him new fans: 'It's amazing - so many of the kids were so young and didn't see Baywatch and Knight Rider so I got a whole new legion of fans.'^[30]

Animation[edit]

There were a number of stages involved in the making of the film, beginning with a rough animation process of ideas drawn on Post-it notes.^[31] The writers drew, working from rough outlines rather than scripts (which made the humor more visual than verbal).^[7] The storyboard artists, including Sherm Cohen, then illustrated ideas conceived by the writers.^[8] In the series Tom Yasumi and Andrew Overtoom do the animatics, but director Hillenburg and writer Derek Drymon did the animatics for the film.^[32] Yasumi and Overtoom were the film's animation-timing directors, concentrating on the sheets.^[32]The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie was animated at Rough Draft Studios in South Korea.^[4] The animators worked semi-digitally; pencil-drawn poses would be composited into layouts in Photoshop.^[33]

Series writer and storyboard artist Erik Wiese left the show for a year to work on Samurai Jack and Danny Phantom, but returned to do storyboards and character layout for the film.^[9] He 'always wanted to be a feature animator, and the movie felt like I was on the character animation end', describing the experience as 'a blast—it felt like coming home.'^[9]

Hillenburg enjoyed the process of making the film:^[6] 'The TV schedule is tight, and you don't always have a lot of time to work on your drawings.'^[6] He appreciated the film's hand-drawn animation: 'I think the movie's drawings are much superior than the TV show', although CGI animation was flourishing at the time of the film's release.^[6] 'There's a lot of talk about 2-D being dead, and I hope people don't think that. Even Brad Bird is a proponent of 2-D. He would agree with me that it's all about what you're trying to say. There are many ways to tell a story, and what's unique about animation is that there are many styles with which to tell a story.'^[6] The clay animation scenes were shot by Mark Caballero, Seamus Walsh and Chris Finnegan at Screen Novelties in Los Angeles.^[25]

Filming[edit]

The film features live-action scenes directed by Mark Osborne in Santa Monica, California.^[8][34] The ship used during the 30-second opening featuring the pirates singing the theme song was the Bounty,^[35][36] a 180-foot (55 m)-long, enlarged reconstruction of the 1787 Royal Navy sailing ship HMS Bounty built for 1962's Mutiny on the Bounty. The ship appeared in a number of other films, including Treasure Island (1999), Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007).^[37][38] In film trailers, live-action scenes were taken from Das Boot (1981), The Hunt for Red October (1990) and U-571 (2000).^[6]

Baywatch and Knight Rider actor David Hasselhoff made a cameo in the live-action scenes, offering SpongeBob and Patrick a ride to Bikini Bottom.^[39] The scene was originally written before consulting Hasselhoff.^[18][19] Hillenburg was pleased with the storyboards;^[9] Lead storyboard artist Sherm Cohen said, 'He had been wrestling with the ending for quite a while, and finally he was ready to pitch his ideas to some of the other board artists.'^[9] Hillenburg was counting on casting Hasselhoff, and the first question he asked him was 'So, do we have Hasselhoff?'^[9] He replied 'No', with a grin.^[9] Hasselhoff eventually agreed, before seeing the script.^[18][19] Hillenburg said about the actor, 'He's a great guy [...] He was great at making fun of himself.'^[18][19]

The crew built a 750-pound (340 kg), 12-foot (3.7 m) replica of Hasselhoff.^[34][39][40] The $100,000 replica was kept at Hasselhoff's home;^[41] he has said, 'It freaked me out because it was so lifelike, with teeth, when you touch it [it] feels like real skin. It's soft, like your skin.'^[41] At the completion of filming, Hasselhoff said, 'That's ridiculously awesome. What are you gonna do with it?'^[41] Asked by the crew if he wanted to keep it, he answered, 'Uh, yeah. Okay.'^[41] Hasselhoff filmed in cold water, where he was pulled by a sled nine yards across the sea;^[8][39] he described the experience as 'cold but [a] lot of fun.'^[31]

In late March 2014, Hasselhoff offered the replica up for auction with other memorabilia collected during his career. Julien's Auctions handled the item's sale, which were expected to bring in between $20,000 and $30,000. Ultimately, Hasselhoff pulled the item, just a few days before the auction.^[42][43][44]

Deleted scenes[edit]

The DVD and Blu-ray releases include animatics of deleted scenes from the film, including SpongeBob and Patrick's meeting with Sandy Cheeks (a squirrel) on the surface after their escape from Shell City.^[45] Patrick repeatedly vomits, upset by Sandy's unusual appearance.^[45] The squirrel is pursued by black-suited exterminators,^[45] and defends herself with acorns.^[45] She informs SpongeBob and Patrick that they can return to Bikini Bottom by taking a bus at the beach.^[45] This idea was later used for the second film The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, where Sandy became a giant realistic squirrel.

When SpongeBob awakens with a hangover on the Goofy Goober party boat, he asks a waiter for a 'Double-Fudge Spinny';^[45] the rejected line was used in a tie-in book, Ice-Cream Dreams, which was based on the film.^[45] In 2013 the film's lead storyboard artist, Sherm Cohen, released a storyboard panel of a deleted scene from the film with SpongeBob awakening from his dream saying 'WEEEEE!' and Mr. Krabs holding a manager's hat.^[46][47]

Soundtrack[edit]

Gregor Narholz composed the score for the film,^[48][49][50] conducting the recording sessions (in 5.1 surround sound) with the London Metropolitan Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios in London.^[51][52] Narholz was signed when series music editor Nick Carr recommended him to Hillenburg after they worked together at the Associated Production Music library.^[9] Narholz was honored at the 2005 ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards for his work on the film,^[53] and received a nomination for Music in an Animated Feature Production at the 32nd Annie Awards.^[54][55]

American rock band The Flaming Lips recorded 'SpongeBob & Patrick Confront the Psychic Wall of Energy'.^[56][57] They shot the song's music video, directed by band member Wayne Coyne and filmmaker Bradley Beesley, in Austin, Texas.^[56] Coyne said, 'Stephen [Hillenburg] seems to be a fan of the weirder music of the late '80s and early '90s [...] He wanted to evoke the music he got turned onto back then.'^[56] Coyne suggested a duet with Justin Timberlake, but Hillenburg refused,^[58] saying 'I don't want any of those sort of commercial weirdos on there. I don't like those commercial people. I like you guys, and Wilco and Ween.'^[58] American band Wilco wrote and recorded 'Just a Kid'.^[57][59] One of the film's producers contacted frontman Jeff Tweedy after seeing a SpongeBob air freshener hanging from Tweedy's rearview mirror in I Am Trying to Break Your Heart: A Film About Wilco.^[59] Tweedy said, 'I fell in love with SpongeBob when I heard him describe the darkness at the bottom of the sea as 'advanced darkness' [...] How could I not write a song for this film? It automatically makes me the coolest dad on the block.'^[59]Avril Lavigne recorded the series' theme for the soundtrack.^[60][61][62] Other artists contributing to the soundtrack were Motörhead, singing 'You Better Swim' (a derivative of their 1992 song 'You'd Better Run');^[63][64][65]Prince Paul ('Prince Paul's Bubble Party');^[63]Ween ('Ocean Man'),^[63] and the Shins ('They'll Soon Discover', partially written in 2001).^[66]

'The Best Day Ever', written by Tom Kenny (SpongeBob's voice actor) and Andy Paley, was featured in the film and on its soundtrack. Kenny and Paley were working on what would become the album The Best Day Ever, writing 'The Best Day Ever' and 'Under My Rock'.^[67] The film's production team needed two more tracks for the soundtrack;^[67] Hillenburg heard the songs, and decided to include them.^[67] 'The Best Day Ever' ended up being played during the film's closing credits.^[67]

The film's trailer was released on May 19, 2004, and was attached to Shrek 2.^[68]The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie opened in theaters on November 19, 2004;^[69] its yellow-carpet world premiere was at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on November 14, 2004.^[70][71][72] Among celebrities who saw the premiere with their children were Ray Romano, Larry King, Ice Cube, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation's Gary Dourdan and Friends'Lisa Kudrow.^[73] The carpet was a reminder of home for Tom Kenny, SpongeBob's voice actor; he said, 'I have a 15-month-old daughter, so I'm no stranger to yellow carpets.'^[73]

Marketing[edit]

Julia Pistor, the film's co-producer, said that although Nickelodeon (which owns the SpongeBob trademark) wanted to sell character-themed backpacks, lunch boxes and wristwatches it respected Hillenburg's integrity and gave him control of merchandising.^[7] Hillenburg had no problem with candy and ice cream tie-ins, Pistor said (because of the treats' simplicity),^[7] but he had issues with fast food tie-ins; according to him, the latter was 'full of hidden additives.'^[7] Pistor said, 'The trouble is that you can't go out with animated films without a fast-food tie-in [...] People don't take you seriously.'^[7] Hillenburg replied, 'Yeah, well, my take on that is that we shouldn't do that [...] We didn't want to suddenly become the people serving up food that's not that good for you - especially kids. We work with Burger King, and they make toys and watches. But to actually take the step of pushing the food, that's crossing the line. I don't want to be the Pied Piper of fast food.'^[7]

The film was promoted across the United States. Nickelodeon joined Burger King for a 12-figure toy line based on the film, and about 4,700 Burger King stores perched 9-foot (2.7 m), inflatable SpongeBob figures on their roofs as part of the promotion (one of the largest in fast-food history).^[74] Customers could also purchase one of five different SpongeBob-themed watches for $1.99 with the purchase of a value meal.^[74]

On November 11, 2004, it was reported that a number of the inflatables had been stolen from Burger King roofs nationwide.^[74][75] Burger King chief marketing officer Russ Klein said, 'As to the motives behind these apparent 'spongenappings', we can only speculate.^[74][76] We did receive one ransom note related to an inflatable SpongeBob disappearance in Minnesota.'^[74][76] The chain offered a year's supply of Whopper sandwiches as a reward for information leading to the return of inflatables stolen in November.^{[74][76][77][78]} One was found attached to a railing at the football-field 50-yard line at an Iowa college,^[79] and another under a bed in Virginia.^[79] A ransom note was found for a third: 'We have SpongeBob. Give us 10 Krabby Patties, fries, and milkshakes.'^[79] Steven Simon and Conrad (C.J.) Mercure Jr. were arrested after stealing an inflatable from a Burger King in St. Mary's County, Maryland.^[80][81] While facing up to 18 months in jail and a $500 fine, Simon and Mercure said they were proud of what they did;^[81][82] Simon said, 'Once we got caught by the police, we were like, now we can tell everybody.'^[81][82] The following year Burger King took 'extra security precautions', when Stormtroopers from George Lucas' Star Wars guarded the delivery of Star Wars toys to a Burger King in North Hollywood.^[83]

The Cayman Islands, a British Overseas Territory in the western Caribbean Sea, joined with Nickelodeon to create the first Cayman Islands Sea School with SpongeBob for the film.^[84] The partnership was announced by Pilar Bush, Deputy Director of Tourism for Cayman Islands, on March 10, 2004.^[84] As part of the agreement the Cayman partnership was seen on Nickelodeon's global multimedia platforms, including on-air, online and in magazines.^[84]

In 2005, Nickelodeon and Simon Spotlight released a book, Ice-Cream Dreams, as a tie-in to the film.^[85] It was written by Nancy E. Krulik and illustrated by Heather Martinez, with Krulik and Derek Drymon as contributors.^[86][87][88]

SpongeBob SquarePants Movie 300[edit]

On October 15, 2004, the film was the first to sponsor a NASCAR race: the 300-mile (480 km), Busch SeriesSpongeBob SquarePants Movie 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina.^{[89][90][91][92][93]} It was the first race of its kind where children at the track could listen to a special, 'kid-friendly' radio broadcast of the event.^[89][92]

Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson debuted a pair of SpongeBob SquarePants-themed Lowe'sChevrolet race cars in the race. Johnson's No. 48 Chevrolet included an image of SpongeBob across the hood, and Busch's No. 5 Chevrolet featured Patrick Star.^[89][92][94] Johnson said, 'This sounds so cool [...] I know there are a lot of families who will be excited that Lowe's is doing this. The great thing is there will be something for every type of race fan. Plus how can we go wrong with SpongeBob helping us out on the car?'^[89][92]

Home media[edit]

The film was released on VHS and DVD on March 1, 2005, in wide- and full-screen editions, by Paramount Home Entertainment.^[95] The VHS release is known for being the last animated film by Nickelodeon Movies to be released on the platform. The DVD special features include an 18-minute featurette, The Absorbing Tale Behind The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, featuring interviews with most of the principal cast and crew; a 15-minute featurette, Case of the Sponge 'Bob', hosted by Jean-Michel Cousteau; a 20-minute animatic segment featuring scenes from the film with dialogue by the original artists, and the film's trailer.^[95] As a tie-in to the film's DVD release, 7-Eleven served a limited-edition Under-the-Sea Pineapple Slurpee in March 2005.^[96][97][98] The film was released as a Blu-ray-plus-DVD combination pack on March 29, 2011 alongside Charlotte's Web.^[99]

It was re-released on DVD and Blu-ray on December 30, 2014.^[100]

Reception[edit]

Box office[edit]

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie earned $9,559,752 on its opening day in the United States, second behind Disney's National Treasure (which earned $11 million).^[101][102] It grossed a combined total of $32,018,216 during its opening weekend, on 4,300 screens at 3,212 theaters, averaging $9,968 per venue (or $7,446 per screen,^[103] again second to National Treasure).^{[103][104][105][106]} The film dropped an unexpected 44 percent over the Thanksgiving weekend, and 57 percent the weekend after that.^{[107][108][109]} The opening weekend earned 37.48 percent of the film's final gross.^[107] It closed on March 24, 2005, failing to out-gross holiday animated competitors The Incredibles (from Disney-Pixar, grossing $261,441,092) and The Polar Express (from Warner Bros., grossing $183,373,735). It was still profitable for distributor Paramount Pictures and producer Nickelodeon Movies, earning $85,417,988 in the United States and $140,161,792 worldwide on a budget of $30 million.^[3] The film was the 29th-highest-grossing 2004 film domestically^[110] and is the sixth-highest-grossing animated TV adaptation of all time.^[111]

Critical response[edit]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 71% based on 128 reviews and an average score of 6.2/10. The site's consensus read, 'Surreally goofy and entertaining for both children and their parents.'^[112]Metacritic gave the film a score of 66 out of 100, based on reviews from 32 critics, indicating 'generally favorable reviews'.^[113] According to CinemaScore, audiences gave the film a grade of 'B+' on an A+ to F scale.^[114]

Roger Ebert, in his review for the Chicago Sun-Times^[115]

Roger Ebert gave the film three out of four stars, calling it 'the 'Good Burger' of animation ... plopping us down inside a fast-food war being fought by sponges, starfish, crabs, tiny plankton and mighty King Neptune.'^[115] Ed Park of The Village Voice wrote, 'No Pixar? No problem! An unstoppable good-mood generator, the resolutely 2-D [The] SpongeBob SquarePants Movie has more yuks than Shark Tale and enough soul to swallow The Polar Express whole.'^[116] Michael Rechtshaffen of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive review, calling it 'an animated adventure that's funnier than Shark Tale and more charming than The Polar Express.'^[117] Randy Cordova of The Arizona Republic said, 'Like the TV show it's based on, it's a daffy, enjoyable creation.'^[118]Jami Bernard of the New York Daily News gave the feature a score of three out of four: 'It's not The Incredibles, or one of those animated features that spent zillions on character design, pedigree and verisimilitude. But SpongeBob is a sweet, silly thing with a child-friendly esthetic all its own.'^[119] Will Lawrence of Empire gave the film four out of five stars, calling it 'a film for kids, students, stoners, anyone who enjoys a break from reality.'^[120]Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly gave it a B-minus grade: 'The best moments in his [SpongeBob SquarePants] first movie outing are those that feel most TV-like, just another day in the eternally optimistic undersea society created with such contagious silliness by Stephen Hillenburg.'^[121]Desson Thomson of The Washington Post enjoyed the film: 'You gotta love SpongeBob. Coolest sponge in the sea, although this one has a suspiciously manufactured look.'^[122]

Carla Meyer of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote that 'The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie retains the 2-D charm of the hugely popular Nickelodeon cartoon but adds a few tricks – a little 3-D here, a little David Hasselhoff there. The series' appeal never lay in its visuals, however. 'SpongeBob' endeared itself to kids and adults through sweetness and cleverness, also abundant here.'^[123]A. O. Scott of The New York Times gave it a score of four out of five: 'If you're tired of ... bluster and swagger, SpongeBob is your man.'^[124] Tom Maurstad of The Dallas Morning News also gave the film a B-minus grade: 'Being so good is what led to making the movie, and it's also the reason that many small-screen episodes are better than this big-screen venture.'^[125]

Some reviews praised David Hasselhoff's appearance in the film. Jennifer Frey of The Washington Post wrote, 'Getting to see the hairs on Hasselhoff's back (and thighs, and calves) magnified exponentially is perhaps a bit creepy. Like the movie, it's all in good fun.'^[126] Nancy Basile of About.com, who gave the film four out of five stars, wrote that Hasselhoff 'must have a great sense of humor.'^[127] Cinema Blend founder Joshua Tyler called Hasselhoff's role 'the best movie cameo I've seen since Fred Savage stuck a joint in his crotch and played a clarinet to charm the resulting smoke like a snake.'^[128]

David Edelstein, in his Slate review^[129]

David Edelstein of Slate criticized the film's plot, calling it a 'big, heavy anchor of a story structure to weigh him down.'^[129] Mike Clark of USA Today called it 'harmlessly off-the-cuff — but facing far more pedigreed multiplex competition ... SpongeBob barely rates as OK when compared with The Incredibles.'^[130] A reviewer noted in Time Out London, 'Anyone expecting anything more risky will be sadly disappointed.'^[131] In his Variety review, Todd McCarthy said the film 'takes on rather too much water during its extended feature-length submersion.'^[132]Internet Movie Database staff member David N. Butterworth gave it zero stars, saying that 'For much like fish, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie truly stinks.'^[133]

While the film received mostly positive reviews by critics and by fans of the show, it is considered a turning point in the show's history; many fans believe that the television series has declined in quality since the film's release.^[134] While episodes aired before the film were praised for their 'uncanny brilliance',^[135] those aired after the film have been called 'kid-pandering attention-waster[s]',^[136] 'tedious',^[137] 'boring', 'dreck',^[138] a 'depressing plateau of mediocrity'^[139] and 'laugh-skimpy.'^[140] After the film's release, fans 'began to turn away from the show,' causing fansites to 'bec[ome] deserted.'^[134] Some fans believe that the show's 2012 ratings decline correlates with a decline in quality, and 'whatever fan support [the show] enjoys is not enough' to save it from its slide in ratings. This was due to the fact that Stephen Hillenburg and many writers left the show.^[134]

Accolades[edit]

Video game[edit]

A video game based on the film was released for PlayStation 2^[149]PC,^[150]Game Boy Advance,^[151]Xbox^[152] and GameCube on October 27, 2004^[153] for Mac OS X in 2005^[154] and PlayStation 3 on February 7, 2012.^[155] The home-console version was developed by Heavy Iron Studios;^[156] the Game Boy Advance version was developed by WayForward Technologies^[151] and published by THQ.^[157][158]

It was created on the same engine as SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom. Game developer Heavy Iron Studios tweaked the graphics to give the game a sharper and more-imaginative look than Battle for Bikini Bottom. It increased the polygon count, added several racing levels and incorporated many creatures from the film.^[156] The game's plot was based on the film, with SpongeBob and Patrick on a mission taking them outside Bikini Bottom to retrieve Neptune's crown.^[159] On October 4, 2004, THQ announced the game's mobile release.^[160] Nickelodeon vice-president for new-media business development Paul Jelinek said, 'As one of the leading publishers of wireless entertainment content, THQ Wireless is introducing the SpongeBob SquarePants license to a whole new audience of gamers [...] THQ has been a great partner to Nickelodeon over the years and we look forward to the same standard of excellence with these upcoming SpongeBob SquarePants games for wireless devices.'^[160] The mobile console was developed by Amplified Games.^[161]
