You might be asking yourself why Paramount and Nickelodeon keep putting out SpongeBob SquarePants movies after all of this time? Well, that’s easy. The three feature films have combined for $470M globally, with the series continuing to be very popular into its sixteenth season after launching in 1999. A new trailer has been released for the fourth film, The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, which hits theaters this Christmas.
While most of the voice cast remains loyal to the long-running show, Mark Hamill takes over as the voice of the Flying Dutchman, one of SpongeBob’s regular foes. Tom Kenny, Clancy Brown, Rodger Bumpass, Bill Fagerbakke, Carolyn Lawrence, and Mr. Lawrence voice their regular characters, while new additions George Lopez, Ice Spice, Arturo Castro, Sherry Cola and Regina Hall are likely taking on new characters.
SYNOPSIS: SpongeBob and his Bikini Bottom friends set sail in their biggest, all-new, can’t miss cinematic event ever…The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants.

The film is directed by Derek Drymon (Hotel Transylvania: Transformania) from a script by Pam Brady (Smurfs) and Matt Lieberman (Free Guy).
