The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie
SpongeBob teams up with his best friend Patrick to embark on a perilous quest for the stolen King Neptune’s crown, racing against time and treacherous foes to clear Mr. Krabs’ name and prove his own worth.
“Hero. Legend. Sponge.”
Synopsis
Trouble is brewing in Bikini Bottom when someone steals King Neptune's crown, and suspicion falls on Mr. Krab, SpongeBob's boss. Despite being passed over for the promotion he has long desired, SpongeBob remains loyal to Mr. Krab and, together with his best friend Patrick, embarks on a dangerous journey to Shell City to recover the crown and save Mr. Krab from the consequences.

A crew of 61+ credited
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 4.7× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
