Almost a year after the death of SpongeBob creator Steven Hillenberg, Nickelodeon Movies and Paramount Animation have teamed up on The Spongebob Movie: Sponge on the Run, on which Hillenberg is listed as an executive producer.
The CGI-animated movie, which follows Spongebob on his quest to find his stolen pet snail, Gary, gathers the animated series voice cast in a large-scale reprisal of their iconic roles: Tom Kenny as the voice of SpongeBob SquarePants, Bill Fagerbakke as Patrick Star, Clancy Brown as Mr. Krabs, Rodger Bumpass as Squidward Tentacles, Carolyn Lawrence as Sandy Cheeks, and Douglas Lawrence as Plankton. Newcomers to the franchise will join in on the fun as well, such as Awkwafina, Reggie Watts, and Keanu Reeves.
The Spongebob Movie: Sponge on the Run will be in theaters on May 22, 2020.
