'The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants' Poster Unveiled

Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies have released the first poster for The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, ahead of the debut of the official trailer for the fourth SpongeBob SquarePants theatrical movie on Wednesday, July 9!

About The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants:

Slated for release in theaters on Friday, December 19, the film will see SpongeBob get entangled with the Flying Dutchman (voiced by Mark Hamill).

Paramount and Nickelodeon recently shared exclusive footage of the “first act” from the movie at Annecy 2025, which sets the scene for SpongeBob’s latest adventure, in which SpongeBob finally grows tall enough to ride a rollercoaster but backs out at the last moment, only to be pulled into an even scarier pirate adventure with the Flying Dutchman. He then signs away his fate and plunges into the Underworld.

After he reaches the height of 36 clams, SpongeBob is allowed into the big people’s fairground park.

There he bumps into Mr. Krabs, who tells him that there is more to being grown up than height and regales him with a tale of his adventures at sea.

SpongeBob hits on the idea of getting his swashbuckler certificate but in the process, he unwittingly summons the spirit of the Flying Dutchman.

The evil pirate, voiced by Mark Hamill, abducts SpongeBob and Patrick Star with the aim of using them to break a curse on his back.

The sneak peek was introduced by director Derek Drymon, a SpongeBob veteran who has worked on the beloved franchise on and off for more than two decades and returned to the franchise after co-directing Hotel Transylvania 4 in 2022.

“It’s like coming home,” he said, before giving a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming SpongeBob film, talking the Annecy audience through the artwork for the “spooky” underwater setting of the latest installment.

“We wanted to recapture the spirit of the first season,” added Drymon. “I’m so thankful to Paramount for backing a creator-led project. What wins the day is being a kid, and that’s what we infused in this feature.”

Blending 3D animation with cutting-edge 2D, this visually dynamic installment follows in the stylistic footsteps of The Mitchells vs. the Machines and Spider-Verse.

Who's In The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants?

The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants will feature a mix of familiar voices as well as voices new to the iconic franchise!

Tom Kenny returns to voice SpongeBob SquarePants, with Clancy Brown (Mr. Krabs), Rodger Bumpass (Squidward), Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick), Carolyn Lawrence (Sandy), Mr. Lawrence (Plankton).

Like the animated series, the SpongeBob movie universe is no stranger to celebrity cameos, and joining the cast in the latest SpongeBob animated feature are guest stars such as the aforementioned Mark Hamill as the Flying Dutchman, along with Regina Hall (Honk For Jesus, Scary Movie, Girls Trip), Sherry Cola (Nobody Wants This, Shrinking), Arturo Castro (Tron: Ares, Matchbox), George Lopez (Lopez vs Lopez, The Underdoggs) and rapper Ice Spice!

Four-time Grammy multi-platinum selling rapper Isis “Ice Spice” will also contribute a song to the movie.

New SpongeBob Short

Although December is still a bit of a way away, SpongeBob fans don't have to wait long to next see SpongeBob on the big screen, as a never-before-seen SpongeBob SquarePants short titled "Order Up" will be playing in theaters alongside the all-new Smurfs movie from Friday, July 18!

"Order Up" is a dialogue-free SpongeBob short directed by Sean Charmatz (Orion and the Dark), will debut in front of Smurfs in July. Created with the classic SpongeBob aesthetic and animation, it centers on the odd-couple dynamic between the always optimistic SpongeBob and his perpetually grumpy neighbor, Squidward, during one of their typical shifts at the Krusty Krab.

SpongeBob annoying his pal is so routine that he literally has it penciled into his calendar, yet, in the short, he's at his most abrasive, overusing the "order up" bell to the point that it drives the octopus mad. It's classic SpongeBob material. The slapstick comedy had been sitting in the Nickelodeon/Paramount vault for nearly a decade.

More About The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants

Based on the SpongeBob SquarePants series, created by Stephen Hillenburg, the screenplay for The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, was written by Pam Brady and Matt Lieberman, from a story by Pam Brady alongside franchise veterans Andrew Goodman and Kaz. John Debney, who previously worked on the music for The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out Of Water, returns to do the music here.

Producers are Lisa Stewart, Pam Brady, Aaron Dem, alongside executive producers Marc Ceccarelli and Vincent Waller.

The SpongeBob Movie: Search For SquarePants is produced by Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Movies in association with Domain Entertainment and MRC, and animated by Reel FX.

Sandy Cheeks Joins the Quest as a Barbarian In 'Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny'

Sandy Cheeks, the lovable Texan squirrel from Nickelodeon's beloved animated series, SpongeBob SquarePants, may be known for her Kah-Rah-Tay skills, but she also happens to be a terrifying barbarian in the upcoming action RPG Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny! Given that Sandy is known for her intense, sudden anger and terrifying strength, it makes a certain amount of sense.

Sandy Cheeks character reveal | Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny (Image credit: GameMill Entertainment)

The tabletop-inspired game – which looks to share a lot of visual and frankly mechanical aspects with the Diablo franchise, though not the gore or grimdark narrative – sends up to four players on a quest through fantasy-tinged worlds (like Bikini Bottomshire) to solve puzzles, defeat bosses, and so on. Each character like Sandy, SpongeBob, and more, also represents a specific RPG character class like wizard or barbarian.

For Sandy, that means lots of leaping around, lassoing critters, and generally being a menace. She might look cute and cuddly, but you don't want to get on her bad side.

"The feeling of dragging hordes of enemies around the environment and the impact of your blows make Sandy super rewarding to play with," Humberto Rodrigues, game director on Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny at developer Petit Fabrik, told GamesRadar+, who first reported the news.

"We had a lot of fun making the lasso and grouping creatures together before we could smash them again and again, probably thousands of times during the development process," continues Rodrigues.

Here's a breakdown of all Sandy's various abilities, direct from the developer:

• Big Acorn – Sandy eats a large acorn. It restores health over time, gradually healing Sandy for several seconds.
• Hammer Swing – A classic and simple double-hit hammer combo that deals damage and restores mana with each swing.
• Hibernation Mode – Sandy taps into her primal instincts and turns into hibernation Sandy, boosting her strength. While active, her ground-slamming attacks deal heavy damage in a wide radius.
• Hurricane Attack – Sandy spins continuously with a powerful 360-degree kick, striking all nearby enemies with rapid, circular force.
• Avalanche Strike – Sandy launches into the air and slams down with a devastating shockwave, damaging all enemies around her. While airborne, press the Skill button again to perform a mid-air stomp and end the attack early.
• Rodeo Lasso – Sandy throws her lasso to snare enemies, yanking anyone caught straight toward her. She can then follow up with any available attacks.
• Texas! – Fueled by rage, Sandy powers up and enters Rage Mode, greatly increasing her attack strength for a short time.

"As [a] barbarian player in most RPGs I play, making Sandy was a way of putting everything I feel is awesome about them in one of my favorite characters in the whole Nickelodeon universe," adds Luiz Henrique Monclar, game designer on Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny at developer Petit Fabrik.

Sandy Cheeks joins previously announced SpongeBob SquarePants, Leonardo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Katara from Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Timmy Turner and his fairy godparents, Cosmo and Wanda, from The Fairly OddParents.

Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny is scheduled to release on September 30, 2025 for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam for $49.99.

Latest Paramount-Skydance 90-Day Merger Extension Kicks Off

A second 90-day extension on Paramount Global’s proposed sale to David Ellison’s Skydance Media automatically triggered on Monday, July 7, as per the deal agreement, leaving the parties and the FCC more time to nail things down. Approval by the Commission led by Brendan Carr is required to transfer CBS broadcast licenses to Skydance.

Any discussions will unfold against a presumably more favorable backdrop, that being a $16 million settlement announced last week between CBS and Donald Trump.

The status of any conversations between the FCC and Skydance couldn’t be ascertained. The current window to close the deal runs through early October. Paramount and Skydance announced their long-gestating merger agreement after six months of back and forth exactly a year ago – on July 7, 2024.

The President sued the network and 60 Minutes for $20 billion last fall alleging the newsmagazine edited its presentation of an interview with Kamala Harris to make the then-Democratic candidate sound better. Allegations, filed in court in Amarillo, Texas, shifted after Trump won to rest on a more convoluted, commercial argument. CBS has always denied all allegations and Trump’s case wasn’t considered strong.

Paramount’s controlling shareholder Shari Redstone was said to be eager to resolve the suit and move forward with the sale of her family’s controlling stake in Paramount. A handful of politicians and interest groups had threatened to sue Redstone for violating anti-bribery statutes if Paramount agreed to a settlement.

The settlement includes a donation for Trump’s presidential library and covers his legal expenses. It does not include an expression of regret or apology.

Paramount co-CEO George Cheeks told shareholders that settlements are not uncommon to avoid unpredictable legal costs, the risk of an adverse judgment that could result in financial and reputational damage and the disruption to business operations that prolonged legal battles can cause.

The settlement with Trump “offers a negotiated resolution that allows companies to focus on their core objectives rather than being mired in uncertainty and distraction,” he said at Paramount’s virtual annual meeting last Wednesday.

While the lawsuit concerned Paramount/CBS, any ongoing merger talks at the FCC level would now mostly involve David Ellison and Skydance, which would become the owner of the broadcast licenses in a deal.

Chris Pratt Sets ‘Garfield’ Return as Alcon Announces Movie Sequel for the Lasagna-Loving Feline

Writers, directors and cast will be announced at a later date

"The Garfield Movie" (Credit: Sony Pictures Releasing)

Garfield is back.

Chris Pratt will return to voice the Monday-hating, lasagna-loving cat in Alcon Entertainment’s upcoming animated sequel to last year’s The Garfield Movie, based on Jim Davis’ beloved comic strip. Sony Pictures will once again distribute globally (excluding China).

The first film, which, released by Sony Pictures globally (save for China), saw Garfield reconnect with his father, was a solid hit, grossing over $260 million worldwide. That’s a lot of lasagna!

The Garfield Movie introduced Garfield’s long-lost father (voiced by Samuel L. Jackson), who enlists his kitten and canine pal Odie on a heist mission that takes them far from their comfortable house pet lives. The voice cast also featured Hannah Waddingham, Ving Rhames, Nicholas Hoult, Harvey Guillén, Snoop Dogg and more. The animation was provided by DNEG.

Alcon acquired the rights from Davis, who will serve as an executive producer on the sequel with Bridget McMeel from Amuse. John Cohen and Steven P. Wegner will serve as producers along with Alcon principals Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson, who made the announcement. Pratt will also serve in a producer role on the film.

Namit Malhotra’s production company Prime Focus Studios will co-produce the film alongside Alcon Entertainment, with Malhotra also serving as a producer. DNEG Animation will return as animation partner, which is a very good thing, considering their work on the first film is downright phenomenal.

Producers are currently in talks with potential writers and directors and additional casting will be announced shortly.

Pratt has a long association with animated features, beginning with The Lego Movie in 2014 (he returned for its sequel in 2019), Pixar’s Onward in 2020 and The Super Mario Bros. Movie in 2023. He starred in The Electric State for Netflix earlier this year (which was not animated but had plenty of animated characters) and has the thriller Mercy coming out in January from Amazon MGM Studios. Pratt will also return for the Super Mario Bros. sequel, scheduled for spring 2026, and will feature in Way Of The Warrior Kid from Apple and Skydance.

The Garfield comic strip debuted in June 1978 and quickly became one of the fastest-growing comic strips of all time, appearing in 2,580 newspapers and journals. (It started out with 41 newspapers.) The strip currently holds the record for the most widely syndicated comic strip in the world. Paramount (then Viacom) acquired the rights to the Garfield and U.S. Acres (Orson's Farm) franchises for Nickelodeon in 2019.

Pratt is repped by UTA, Rise Management, and Sloane, Offer, Weber and Dern. Jeannette Hill, Executive Vice President of Business and Legal Affairs at Alcon Entertainment, negotiated the deal on the company’s behalf.

Big Time Rush Creator Scott Fellows Launches Lawsuit Against Sony Music

Big Time Rush creator Scott Fellows is reportedly suing Sony Music for allegedly cheating him out of the band's reunion tour profits.

Big Time Rush

Fellows, who created Nickelodeon's hit musical comedy series about a fictional boy band, which ran from 2009 to 2013, has brought a series of breach of contract claims against Sony.

He claims the record label intentionally "concocted a bad faith entity shell game" to cut him out of a 2021 licensing deal that allowed Big Time Rush to reunite as an independent entity, in exchange for 10% of future revenues.

During the show's original run, the real-life members of Big Time Rush - Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, Logan Henderson and Carlos PenaVega - released music and toured under a deal with Sony Music.

According to Fellows' lawsuit, he received contractual payments amounting to 3.75% of the band's touring revenue until its members went their separate ways in 2014.

As stated in the complaint, when Big Time Rush reunited in 2021, the group struck a deal to go independent from Nickelodeon and Sony Music. The lawsuit reveals that the band licensed its trademarks and past music from Sony and Nickelodeon in exchange for 10% of future revenues.

Fellows' attorneys allege in the lawsuit that Sony "restructured its inter-company arrangements" and his rights to his share of touring revenue were eliminated.

Fellows is now seeking to recoup his cut of Big Time Rush's 2022 reunion tour, as well as the band's In Real Life world tour, which is scheduled to kick off on Wednesday, 9 July.
