History Trivia / TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie

* ExiledFromContinuity: [[WordOfGod 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.

*** This scene would also show three human bystanders that resemble Spongebob, Patrick, and Squidward. in Human form.

* AdoredByTheNetwork: It's no secret that Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} loves to play this movie on random weeknights and weekends, usually as filler where they couldn't fit more episodes of [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants the show]], and it's a regular during ''[=SpongeBob=]'' marathons. This has died down a few times, usually when a pay cable network gets the rights or a popular streaming service puts it on there, but when the network loses the rights or the service takes it down, Nickelodeon goes back to doing the same thing they always do.

* TypeCasting: Victor the Thug Tug owner is voiced by Creator/ThomasFWilson, best known for playing bully Biff Tannen in ''[[Film/BackToTheFuture Back to the Future]]'' and its sequels.

** Storyboards had a little HoYay scene of Spongebob grabbing Squidward's tentacle as he waits for the announcement of the new manager.

** 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 to 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 travelled between there and Bikini Bottom.
