The character's name is derived from "Bob the Sponge", the host of Hillenburg's unpublished educational book The Intertidal Zone. SpongeBob was created and designed by Stephen Hillenburg, an artist and marine science educator. He is characterized by his optimism and childlike attitude, and is influenced by other comedic characters, including Stan Laurel and Pee-Wee Herman.

SpongeBob SquarePants is the title character and protagonist of the long-running television series of the same name. Antonio Raul Corbo (as a child in Sponge on the Run).
Very silly and perhaps a bit too crude and wild for very young children, this should be easy for parents to find as enjoyable as their children and, for once, mostly for the same reasons. Overall then an acquired taste I'm sure but it is one that I found surprisingly fun and enjoyable. Star turns from Tambor and Johansson add value but the cameo from Hasselhoff is quite brilliant and fits perfectly with the sense of humour of the overall product. Brown is solid but my favourite has to be Lawrence as Plankton. Fagerbakke is good while Bumpass is sidelined with little to do. Kenny is nowhere near as annoying as I thought he would be. The voice work is good, matching the humour and tone of the script. The animation is also very good - I have to wonder how well it played on a large cinema screen but on the television it worked really well. Much of it is off-the-wall and will depend on the viewer's sense of humour but the fight on Hasselhoff's legs, the bald king and so on were clever little things I enjoyed. Of course it is silly and at times is stretched to fill the running time but I still very much enjoyed it with its creative characters and strong script. It is never dull and often it is laugh-out-loud funny and I say that as a cynical thirty-something who doesn't please particularly easily. The plot is a simple adventure but it creates plenty of good side jokes and scenarios that are exaggerated to the point of being funny. The world of SpongeBob is a wonderfully chaotic world that aspires to be more than just the series of off-colour jokes that I initially took the series for. The film opens with a rather obvious "it's a movie" live action starter that didn't inspire me that much but once we get down into the animated world of Bikini Bottom things instantly get a lot better. Of course this in itself is no guarantee of quality, more with financial success however I had heard good things. I've never actually watched an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants but figured that the film was at least worth a look as it seemed imaginative and good enough to have made the transition from television to movie. Meanwhile, back in Bikini Bottom, Plankton's evil plan Z has taken an even more sinister turn. With Neptune ready to execute Crabs, SpongeBob and Patrick set out on the dangerous road to Shell City to recover the crown. Fed up with never having had a costumer due to being in the shadow of Crabs, Plankton steals King Neptune's crown, framing Crabs for the crime. SpongeBob is devastated whenever he is passed over for the manager's job by Mr Crabs but it is not long before he has a chance to redeem himself.
