Paramount has just unleashed a new trailer for the buckaroos. The official synopsis reads,
“SpongeBob and his Bikini Bottom friends set sail in their biggest, all-new, can’t miss cinematic event ever…The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants. Desperate to be a big guy, SpongeBob sets out to prove his bravery to Mr. Krabs by following The Flying Dutchman – a mysterious swashbuckling ghost pirate – on a seafaring comedy-adventure that takes him to the deepest depths of the deep sea, where no Sponge has gone before.”
Derek Drymon directs from a script written by Pam Brady and Matt Lieberman, from a story by Marc Ceccarelli & Kaz and Pam Brady. Marc Ceccarelli, Vincent Waller, Pete Chiappetta, Anthony Tittanegro and Andrew Lary are the executive producers on the film. The producers include Lisa Stewart, Pam Brady and Aaron Dem.
Search for SquarePants director Derek Drymon at Annecy said, “It’s like coming home,” referring to his return to the franchise before introducing artwork and exclusive footage of the upcoming animation.
In the “first act,” SpongeBob enters the big people’s fairground park, where he crosses paths with Mr. Krabs, who says there’s more to being an adult than being 36 clams tall. Soon thereafter, SpongeBob fancies getting his swashbuckler certificate, but while going through the motions, summons the spirit of the Flying Dutchman. When the evil seaman (voiced by Mark Hamill) arrives to cause chaos, SpongeBob and Patrick Star must find a way to break the curse and send the villain back to the depths.
