** [=SpongeBob=] himself and Plankton were recast for the Hungarian dub. The former because his original actor Péter Minárovits quit voice acting for a time and was replaced with a soundalike, the then 14 year-old Creator/IstvanBarath. Plankton's original actor György Vizy passed away shortly before release, so Gábor Németh inherited the role.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: As stated on the main page, the film was originally meant to be the series' finale.
** Storyboards had a little HoYay scene of [=SpongeBob=] grabbing Squidward's tentacle as he waits for the announcement of the new manager.
** There was also cut footage of [=SpongeBob=] seeing cakes and airplane banners congratulating Squidward on his manager job.
** Storyboards also show that the pirate captain was originally intended to be Patchy, with Potty instead of a live parrot.
** There was a deleted scene where [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick would meet Sandy on land implying she moved away from Bikini Bottom some time ago but she was also being chased by government agents for some strange reason. This was changed due to censors being displeased at how much Patrick vomited due to how gross he and [=SpongeBob=] thought she looked on land as they reunited. Others say it was removed because it didn't really add anything to the film and just slowed down the pacing unnecessarily. In the same deleted scene, Shell City was actually a city and there were buses that traveled between there and Bikini Bottom.
*** The scene would also show three human bystanders that were basically [=SpongeBob=], Patrick, and Squidward in Human form.

* ExiledFromContinuity: One that took 15 years to be lifted. [[https://mobile.twitter.com/VincentWaller72/status/1114208160208674816 According to Vincent Waller]], there was once a firewall between content created for this film and the Nickelodeon created characters, hence why the movie's version of King Neptune and other characters created for it don't pop up in the show. Even images of Goofy Goober and the exterior of the restaurant were barred from being used for a while, though mentions of him in the show were still okay. It wasn't until 2015 when Creator/{{Paramount}} and Nickelodeon agreed to use elements from the movie to appear on the show like the above mentioned Goofy Goober and his restaurant later appearing in episodes like "The Goofy Newbie". Likewise, Mindy would later make a brief non-speaking cameo in the special "[=SpongeBob=]'s Big Birthday Blowout".

Looking it up, the two's appearances in the show doesn't necessarily debunk the idea of the show ending with the movie, since nothing about their appearances establishes that the episodes are set after the events of the film. Nevertheless, the fact that the show's staff debunked the rumor that the movie is the chronological endpoint of the show is true; added a link to an article describing this since that bolsters the veracity of the debunking.


* GodNeverSaidThat: It's assumed by many that the movie was meant to be the chronological finale for the series, with every episode after Season 4 actually happening ''before'' the film in the timeline. However, as actual WordOfGod states (by the current showrunner Vincent Waller and other crew members), that this was never the case and then explained how the show runs on NegativeContinuity and thus, anything can happen that revokes this possibility. Mindy's appearance in Season 12 and Dennis' in Season 13 acts as confirmation.

He absolutely never made a claim. He only stated that the movie was stated to originally be the last installment of the series. Not that it was supposed to be the last of the timeline. Claiming otherwise is literally putting words in the creator's mouth. The current showrunner outright debunks this theory.


* WordOfGod: According to Stephen Hillenburg and some of the show and movie writers, this movie marks the end of the ''[=SpongeBob=]'' mythos, meaning any episodes or movies that came out before or after this movie all lead up to this point. It makes sense, seeing that this was meant to be the series finale.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Remember, Stephen never even claimed the movie to be the last event in the whole series. If anything, he most probably meant it as simply a way to send off the show, thus making it the last event in the timeline before the show gotten Un Canceled. At this point, people are immediately jumping to conclusions and theories instead of properly understanding what's actually been said.

You quite literally ignore everything this paragraph said. The Movie was planned as the final, not that is it officially. You must consider the perspective retroactively.

Hillenburg himself said this movie was meant to be the end. And decisions made later on aren't his to make, given how it was meant to be THE END of Spongebob as a whole before Nickelodeon ordered more episodes, this trope definitely isn't at play here since Hillenburg did say that.
