The adventure hits dry land!

SpongeBob SquarePants lives in Bikini Bottom, the underwater city where the story takes place. One day, the secret recipe for the Krabby Patty vanishes without a trace, and the town begins to descend into chaos. SpongeBob urgently needs to get it back, but he won't do it alone: he's forced to team up with Plankton, although the distrust between them is obvious at every step. Tom Kenny returns to voice the lead character, and Paul Tibbitt directs a movie built on an urgent search and a city on the verge of losing control. The tone is that of an animated adventure comedy, with the secret formula as the main goal.

The film includes a stop-motion sequence animated by Screen Novelties, a company that had already created a claymation scene for the first movie.
In June 2014, Paramount moved the release date up to February 6, 2015 to avoid competition from Kingsman and Fifty Shades of Grey, which were hitting theaters the following week.
Filming in Savannah came to a halt on September 30, 2013, with the firing of film services director Jay Self, according to a memo from the city's leisure services department.
