SpongeBob Day activities also featured the launch of the Patrick Star Official YouTube channel; the first-ever music release from The Patrick Star Show, “Watch Out for That Rake’; a first look at the upcoming The Patrick Star Show Halloween special, “Scary Tales;” multiplatform programming events on Nicktoons, Nick Pluto and Nick.com; tie-ins at Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts and Nickelodeon Universe Theme Park; multi-space SpongeBob activations at The New Children’s Museum in San Diego, the reveal that SpongeBob SquarePants will be part of the 100th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in November, and more.
Since its launch July 17, 1999, SpongeBob SquarePants has generated a universe of beloved characters, pop culture catchphrases and memes, theatrical releases, consumer products, a Tony Award-winning Broadway musical and a global fan base. SpongeBob SquarePants is one of the most widely distributed properties in Paramount history, seen in more than 180 markets, translated in 30+ languages, and averaging more than 90 million total viewers every quarter.
SpongeBob SquarePants was created by Stephen Hillenburg and is produced by Nickelodeon in Burbank, California. The character-driven cartoon chronicles the nautical and sometimes nonsensical adventures of SpongeBob, an incurable optimist and earnest sea sponge, and his undersea friends.
