This paper examines The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water as a postmodern children’s film that blends 2D animation, CGI, and live action. It argues that the film’s narrative disruption—the loss of the Krabby Patty formula—mirrors anxieties about authorship and intellectual property in digital media. Through character analysis and metanarrative elements, the paper explores how the film balances absurdist humor with themes of teamwork and resilience. While marketed to children, its self-referential jokes and celebrity cameos (e.g., Antonio Banderas as Burger-Beard) appeal to adult audiences. The conclusion positions the film as a transitional work in the SpongeBob franchise, bridging traditional hand-drawn animation and CGI-dominated blockbusters.
