What critics say influenced The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie
The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie plays like The Powerpuff Girls Movie (2002) in that it's is very funny and awfully cool, but the laughs are superficial and the jokes fade from the memory quicker than witty e-mails.
With that, he's envisioned a sort of Pee-Wee's Big Adventure for SpongeBob, in which the hapless hero sets out on a quest to find the balding King Neptune's treasured crown.

But it does retain that sense of intermittently adult-savvy comedy, and it also features a few notable guest appearances, such as Arrested Developments Jeffrey Tambor, Lost In Translation s Scarlett Johansson, Alec Baldwin, and David Hasselhoff in a somewhat disturbing turn as himself.
Encouraged by King Neptune's daughter, Mindy the Mermaid (Scarlett Johansson, "Lost in Translation"), Spongebob and his best buddy Patrick (Bill Fagerbakke) set off in the Patty Wagon ('You don't need a license to drive a sandwich!')
