I loved the first SpongeBob movie, but y’all are gonna TEAR ME TO SHREDS when I say I also loved Sponge on the Run, ESPECIALLY the so-called “cheap” animation/CGI.
The designs and expressions look more closer to classic SpongeBob, and the decision to animate on twos was perfect. Also Keanu. He’s a national treasure.
Saving Bikini Bottom is where the animation and CGI looked sort of cheap, just like Kamp Koral. If only they returned to the Sponge on the Run style, then it wouldn’t aesthetically suck.
