The SpongeBob Movie: The Search for SquarePants just did something that took everybody off-guard. It’s a big opening weekend at the Movies with Avatar: Fire and Ash squaring off with everybody’s favorite yellow sponge. But, The SpongeBob Movie: The Search for SquarePants has managed to exceed some expectations already. Over on Rotten Tomatoes, the latest adventure with Nickelodeon’s signature cartoon mascot is sitting at a 85% fresh on the Tomatometer. That’s good enough for the highest mark in the franchise’s history. And, a good omen with the big weekend set to begin.
Nickelodeon has been able to depend on the charming little dude with the square pants for decades now. Not too long ago the cable network made the choice to renew Spongebob Squarepants for multiple seasons. Tom Kenny’s signature character is the centerpiece of the channel’s beloved NFL coverage as well. So, the appetite for SpongeBob really hasn’t subsided at all since the series got rolling.
