From an unassuming corner of the ocean’s depths, a global threat rises — and it’s up to Bikini Bottom’s own master of chaos to … save the day?!
Netflix and Nickelodeon today debuted the trailer, key art and new first-look stills for Plankton: The Movie, which will officially premiere exclusively on the global streamer on March 7. The spot reveals how Plankton’s lifelong dreams of world domination are scuttled when his long-suffering AI assistant, Karen, decides to take charge.
Per the film's official logline: "Plankton's tangled love story with his sentient computer wife goes sideways when she takes a stand — and decides to destroy the world without him."
The new SpongeBob SquarePants spinoff is directed by Dave Needham (The Loud House Movie) from a story by Plankton voice actor Mr. Lawrence, screenplay by Mr. Lawrence & Kaz and Mr. Lawrence & Chris Viscardi, based on the characters created by Stephen Hillenburg.
SpongeBob SquarePants voice stars reprise their iconic roles from the 25-years-running show: Mr. Lawrence as Plankton, Jill Talley as Karen, Tom Kenny as SpongeBob, Bill Fagerbakke as Patrick, Carolyn Lawrence as Sandy, Clancy Brown as Mr. Krabs and Rodger Bumpass as Squidward.
Music is by Mahuia Bridgman-Cooper, with original songs by Bret McKenzie (Flight of the Conchords), Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee Linda Perry, Mark Mothersbaugh & Bob Mothersbaugh.
Executive producers on the project are SpongeBob franchise veterans Marc Ceccarelli and Vincent Waller.
