(Listen for the 'my leg!' recurring gag!). Not only this, but the jokes and gags are hilarious, and only occasionally fall short, but when they do, they make sure to make up for it. (If you ever watch/re-watch this movie, take a good look at the facial animations during the 2D parts, they're absolutely brilliant). I found every frame enjoyable, and it almost has a Ren and Stimpy like feel to it which made me appreciate it so much more. The 2D animation is the best animation I have seen in a LONG time. Sponge Out of Water is an absolute TREAT for both old and new fans of the series alike, and the movie kept me entertained to the very end. I was expecting this movie to be the nail in the coffin for the Spongebob franchise, and I was legitimately concerned that I would never see a good thing come from the series ever again. Let me start off by saying, before I saw this movie, based on the trailers, my expectations were as low as they could possibly be.
