After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Seriously, this was surprisingly charming. With the series becoming so mean-spirited ever since season 5 started, this was kind of uplifting. Here, there's a reason for the characters to act like jerks, well, except for Patrick who's still kind of a jerk even without having eaten Plankton's fruitcake. The songs are quite good and actually add to the plot, unlike Atlantis Squarepantis where every single number except for maybe the first one was a complete waste of time and effort. The humour is actually good and while Squidward does get tormented at one point, at least it's the film's antagonist doing it and not one of the protagonists, who the episode would likely want us to believe is in the right. The only downside is that, honestly, I wish this had come out earlier. This special more-or-less pretends that every episode leading up to it never happened. It feels more like something you'd expect from season 2 as the jerkish behaviour of the citizens is implied to be out-of- character for them despite a boatload of recent episodes proving otherwise. Also, the animations are really good, and even the Patchy segment wasn't anywhere near as painful to sit through as they usually are. All-in-all, for Spongebob fans, I think this is worth checking out, especially if you've been as annoyed by recent episodes as I've been. Seriously, if you haven't seen it, give it a go.

It's a SpongeBob Christmas/Tis the Season to be Jerky-In a stop-motion world of Bikinni Bottom, Christmastime is coming once again and everyone's excited...except for Squidward, but this episode's not about him. Plankton wants to ask Santa Claus for the secret formula to the Krabby Patty, but he's too evil to get it, so he creates a fruitcake that contains the aptly named element "Jerktonium" and which SpongeBob foolishly gives to everyone in Bikinni Bottom.(In my opinion, they're already jerks, they're just nice around Christmas). However, SpongeBob's too merry to turn into a jerk, so Plankton builds an evil robot that's based on SpongeBob (the design really is bad and off, but it's enough to fool Bikinni Bottom)to act rudely. It's up to SpongeBob to destroy his evil counterpart and bring the joys of Christmas back to Bikinni Bottom. The story sounds very familiar to me, so it's not very original. I don't think the stop-motion was really necessary, but he didn't hurt the show too much, but the Bikinni Bottom citizens as jerks looked a little gross and for, some reason, Pearl just dosen't look right here. This episode was based on the song "Don't be a Jerk, It's Christmas," which SpongeBob sings at the end, like the "Best Day Ever," (In my opinion, this was better than "Best Day Ever")and includes another decent song at the beginning: "Santa's Got His Jolly Little Eyes on Me." This is a decent SpongeBob episode, but it's not one of the best.

This was the first Spongebob Squarepants episode ever to air on CBS, which is very exciting because that means we can add one more channel to our list for catching Spongebob reruns on! Not so sure I like the claymation style Christmas special for Spongebob, because there are many Spongebob antics that cannot be shown through claymation. However, Spongebob is wonderful as ever in his holiday adventure for the young and old!!! Bound to be a classic that CBS will show year after year. Join SpongeBob Squarepants, Patrick Starr, Squidard Tentacles, Sand Cheeks, Mr Krabs, Plankton and the rest of the Spongebob crew on their Christmas adventure through Bikini Bottom!

I'm 13, and I love sponge bob very much! Though "It's A Spongebob Christmas!" was quite disappointing in my opinion. What I love about sponge bob is the random plot lines - I hate things where there is a crisis and the main character always seems to win somehow. Spongebob Christmas was like that. It didn't feel like sponge bob! The claymation only made it worse. I also didn't like the fact it didn't have the comedy that sponge bob usually has, and they always seem to sing for no apparent reason... Though the only good thing about it was the claymation was quite sweet and I like the fact that sponge bob was an actual sponge. I think sponge bob Christmas was aimed for littler children as my 2 year old brother was sat watching it until the end!
