Trivia - The section on swear words seems to have come from the obsessive-compulsive keyboard of somebody from capalert.com - the Christian group that counts every single supposedly objectionable word. I think this is a big slice of POV.

[edit] 2031?!

"Who told you this movie takes place in 2031?" Bobber1.

[edit] 2031? Not true!

As you see, I'm an avid SpongeBob fan and the month and year the movie takes place in is March 2004, not March 2031.

• • I can prove you're very wrong: Spongebob won 374 consecutive employee of the month awards, which is 31 years, and 2 months. Spongebob joined the Krusty Krab in 1998. So, 31 years and 2 months would basically be around, well, 2029/2030. And IF The movie took place in March 2004, SpongeBob would have started working there in November 1972. 1972 is 5 years BEFORE the Krusty Krab opened, 13 years BEFORE SpongeBob was born, and 20 years before Squidward started working there. The calender in Spongebob's bedroom AND the calender at the Krusty Krab both are in March: March 7th has a drawing of the Krusty Krab 2 in Spongebob's room. When he updates the Krusty Krab calender, Plankton says: "March 14! No wait, it should say the day that Krabs fries!" -AMK152

• Change everything to March 14, 2031, the show is TIMELESS!

• To what was just said: ...HUH?! Also: I didn't even know it was possible to indicate when anything related to spongebob took place... - Wrathofmn7

• damn... you guys pay attention to everything. Well I guess that proves it Armanalp 18:25, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] King Neptune II

"I could presume/assume that the "Neptune's Spatula" Neptune is the real one and i could assume that the movie Neptune is King Neptune II" Bobber1.

[edit] Resemblences

"The Cyclops in this movie resembles a Scooby Doo, Where Are You? creature" Bobber1.

The entire plot parallels The Odyssey by Homer. The cyclops, the place of the dead, its all exactly the same.

[edit] Australia

"When the movie was released in Australia, it was rated G. The less-restrictive rating suggests that Australians either have different tastes in movies, or that the movie was edited for the Australian audience."

WHAT?! It was also rated U in the UK which is the equivalent of a G rating, without any editing? Hey, here's a thought, maybe Australians and Brits just aren't as sensitive as Americans (not that that's necessarily a bad thing, different cultural values and all) --81.178.194.72 03:18, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Maybe when the movie was rated G in Australia, the bad words, "jackass", "damning", and "freaking", were changed to "jackwhibble", "darning", and a double "no". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.21.34.216 (talk • contribs).

Hey! Somebody deleted the whole film's article! Who did this?

[edit] What's with all the lists?

I don't like all these lists at the start of the article. They should really be at the end. --Differentgravy 21:27, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] no no freaking way!

in my version of this sponge bob clearly still says freeking in goofy goober song

and ilive in ausie but he mr krabs still says jackass and damming is still sain

• Mr. Krabs doesn't swear in the movie. -AMK152 21:32, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Failed GA

This article failed the GA noms due to lack of references. Tarret 21:34, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Certainly not the only problem with this article. Needs to be brought in-line with Wikipedia:WikiProject_Films recommendations. Get rid of trivia, taglines, release dates, foreign titles, genre, box office success etc (the last two should be included in "Production" or the lead section). Also, the Credits Songs section is a bit unfinished (what with it having no content whatsoever). Format the cast list as WikiProject:Films suggests.  -- Run!  23:02, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lyrics and Trivia

Does this article really need the lyrics to all of the songs? Also, some of the trivia is pretty incomprehensible. --user.lain 04:25, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

i hated the sb movie.

[edit] Three Swear Words

In the trivia section they said that there were three swear words in the movie. But what were they? I can't believe they would put swear words in a kids movie!

Those tags are annoying. But gotta love how it says it's blasted with gay undertones XD Wich are the 3 words?
