History WesternAnimation / TheSpongebobMovieSpongeOutOfWater

* CoolLoser: In spite of the fact that he's an outcast that was clearly BornInTheWrongCentury, Burger Beard owns an awesome-looking pirate ship, which is pimped-out with wheels and a ton of cannons on it.

* CompletelyDifferentTitle: The German dub of the film is simply titled ''[=SpongeBob=] Schwammkopf 3D'' (''[=SpongeBob=] [=SquarePants=] 3D'').

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Plankton/Plank-Ton comes in to save the other heroes, stops Burger Beard by lifting his ship, and then powers up Spongebob/Invicibubble's bubbles to create a bubble wave that defeats Burger Beard]].

** [=EpicLloyd=] and [=NicePeter=] from ''WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory'' show up as live-action surfers.

** All the ads play up the CGI scenes...which take up about 20 minutes of the movie. The majority of the animation in film is actually hand-drawn, with plenty of {{Art Shift}}s. The trailer also promised a cameo by Slash as a street musician, which ended up being cut from the film.
** The trailer makes it look as if Burger Beard is the one who attacks the Krusty Krab. In the actual film, it's Plankton.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Mr. Krabs' NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup rule regarding the Krabby Patty formula. He apparently never considered the possibility of the only copy in existence actually being stolen.

* Animation Bump: Traditionally-animated characters have more fluid techniques, and the background designs are detailed than those from the show.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Subverted. [[spoiler:Plankton--then a superhero named Plank-TON-- gives the secret formula to Mr. Krabs so that everything would be back to normal.]]

* AnimationBump: Traditionally-animated characters have more fluid techniques, and the background designs are more impressive than those from the show.

Considering the series' reliance on NegativeContinuity, [[TropesAreTools it doesn't really matter.]][[/note]] to 2004's ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongebobSquarepantsMovie'', released on February 6th, 2015.

* AllForNothing: Subverted.[=SpongeBob=] and Plankton's attempt to retrieve the Krabby Patty secret formula with teamwork fails completely. The situation is only salvaged when [=SpongeBob=] smells a Krabby Patty coming from the surface. This seems to render the teamwork plot pointless...[[spoiler: until the very end where Plankton takes his teamwork lessons to heart and helps the heroes defeat Burger Beard.]]

-->'''Squidward''': MR. KRABS! Spongebob, zip it!
-->''(Spongebob promptly stops laughing)''

** The scene with a fish in hospital eating a patty. Dr. Gilliam declares that he'll be gone in a week, and his wife mourns the imminent loss while eating a patty herself.

* BubbleGun: Spongebob/Invincibubble shoots, well, bubbles.

** [=SpongeBob=] teaching Plankton the concept of teamwork, with Plankton being unable to even pronounce the word is certain to remind some viewers of ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarepants'' episodes like "F.U.N" and "Single Cell Anniversary" where [=SpongeBob=] had trouble teaching Plankton the concepts of fun, friendship, and love.

* CallForward: After seeing the chaos Bikini Bottom is in after Krabby Patties are gone, Plankton gloats that he could rule the world with the formula. He does that in ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongebobSquarepantsMovie''.

* CassandraTruth: Nobody believes [=SpongeBob=]'s claims that Plankton didn't steal the formula. Fortunately, [[spoiler: the scent of the currently-being-cooked-by-Burger Beard patties vindicates [=SpongeBob=]'s claim.]]
* CharacterDevelopment: Plankton, who becomes sort of an anti-hero, due to working with [=SpongeBob=] throughout a majority of the movie. At the very end though, [[StatusQuoIsGod he's back to his old, scheming self.]]

* CloseEnoughTimeline: Intentionally invoked in the end, when [[spoiler: Spongebob returns Bikini Bottom to normal (with the exception of Squidward rocking the HeroicBuild under his shirt)]].

* CompletelyDifferentTitle: The German dub of the film is simply titled ''[=SpongeBob=] Schwammkopf 3D'' (''[=SpongeBob=] Squarepants 3D'').

** During the "Thank Gosh It's Monday" music video created for the Day of Positivity, the spatula that [=SpongeBob=] used in the show's pilot episode can be seen, and the seaweed mustaches from [[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie first movie]] can be seen in a framed picture on the wall (though that is a little odd, considering that [[NegativeContinuity the first movie takes place at the end of the show's timeline, while this film is said to be a prequel to the first one]], although the scene does not appear in the movie, solidifying its prequel status).

** One of Spongebob's ways of stopping Plankton is with the reefblower from season 1.

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Mr. Krabs tortures Plankton by... [[spoiler:getting Spongebob to laugh at a knock-knock joke. Hard.]]

** The scene where Burger Beard looks in his mirror at SpongeBob and his friends charging at him, the mirror reading "OBJECTS APPEARING CLOSER THAN YOU THINK" is similar to the TyrannosaurusRex chasing a ''Film/JurassicPark'' jeep.

** Dear god were the ads for this movie everywhere! Stations owned by Creator/{{Viacom}} aired commercials for the film at least once a break on their shows (except for [=SpongeBob=] related ones, since that would [[SegregatedCommercial be an FCC violation.]]) It also played on NickJr to the point where parents complained about the advertising of a show aimed at kids older than the target age of the channel.

* BigBad: BurgerBeard is the main villain of the film.

* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: One Japanese TV spot did not feature Squidward in it. This was because his voice actor, [[Creator/RokuroNaya Rokurou Naya]], had died and they had not yet found a replacement.

* TyrannosaurusRex: Or rather ''Squida''saurus Rex.

* TheWatcher: [[spoiler:Bubbles, the talking dolphin [=SpongeBob=] and Plankton encounter while they accidentally time travel to the future, is a powerful being whose job is to watch the galaxy in case something bad happens.]]

%% * BringMyBrownPants: Too bad Squidward doesn't ''wear'' pants.

%% * BigBad: Burger Beard.

%% * EnemyMine: Plankton apparently believes that he's [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou the only one allowed to steal the Secret Formula]], and assists [=SpongeBob=] in his adventures.

%% * RealityWritingBook: The magic book. The story is already written in, but the characters can change it on the fly.
%% * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Plankton delivers one to [=SpongeBob=] after [[spoiler: they fail to recover the formula]]

* RewritingReality: The conflict of the movie revolves around a magic journal that can rewrite reality falling into the hands of the evil pirate Burger Beard. And it just so happens that the Krabby Patty Secret Formula is written on one of the missing pages to the journal...

%% * RoomFullOfCrazy: Sandy's treedome after her SanitySlippage.

%% * SugarBowl: Plankton discovers one inside [=SpongeBob=]'s brain.

%% * VerbalWeakness: "''Refunds''".
%% * TheWatcher: [[spoiler:Bubbles, the talking dolphin [=SpongeBob=] and Plankton encounter while they accidentally time travel to the future, is this.]]
