This latest film, written and directed by “SpongeBob” veteran Tim Hill, feels especially thin, as it’s actually a launching pad for “Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years.” The animated series-featuring a “Muppet Babies” version of SpongeBob and his pals meeting for the first time in their youth-just happens to begin airing on Paramount+ the same day as this movie in a bit of streaming synergy.Īgain, if you’re a harried parent seeking some mindless happiness for your children and a little “me” time while you’re stuck at home, this is a totally suitable choice for everyone involved. Stretched out to 90 minutes in “Sponge on the Run,” the pacing lags, the goofiness sags, and you discover over time that there’s not much holding these antics together.

These quick bursts of entertainment, with their eccentric characters, surreal energy and silly wordplay, are perfect in bite-size bits.

But much of what’s made the “SpongeBob SquarePants” TV series such a joy over the past 20-plus years is its zippiness.
