Especially considering the last Spongebob movie was an atrocious 3d animated abomination. Oh god, I sound like Squidward.

Pretty much as soon as he passed, they announced they were making a spinoff.

And even if someone doesn't care about that sentimental stuff, it's also most likely a terrible movie. Spongebob as a whole isn't worth watching once Hillenburg left after the first movie since he intended that to be the end of the series. Post-Hillenburg Spongebob is little better than YouTube kids videos made by content farms, sometimes no better.

for this kind of release but bigger blockbuster I guess critics are invited to see it in private

I’m guessing the copies they send to “journalists” have some sort of individualized watermark. Of course that would only fight leakers, not the “journalists” getting hacked

I don't know why, but it's very sweet to see Jill Talley and Tom Kenny right next to each other in the cast list. Usually they're separated since Jill only does minor characters and Tom is the titular Spongebob.

They got married after meeting each other as cast members of HBO's Mr. Show. Always nice to see them actually paired up.

EDIT: Also the leaked movie is practically Standard Definition and damn Tom and Mr. Lawrence are getting so old they're struggling to do the voices as clear as they used to.

Imagine wearing goggle to look into the future, that's sunlit the HUD

Netflix and nickelodeon has a partnership and must give netflix so many new things each year.

Looks like someone posted a leaked internal copy for everyone to stream months before the release date?

Real people are far more likely to disappoint.

The video’s watermarks clearly indicate that it’s a leak.

The image appears to be of a leak of the movie.

It means that pirates don't have to wait for release dates, because Netflix didn't secure their servers.

But it's a good thing that Netflix serves DRM to my devices through my paid account. We wouldn't want me watching it later without paying them again!
