The SpongeBob Movie: Search for Squarepants - A Fun Movie But Probably Best Enjoyed by Fans of the Animated Series

This movie was released together with another one that I was looking forward to on Wednesday, no doubt to give families chance to see during Christmas holiday. As I was busy with my wife, we only managed to see the two of them yesterday in our movie marathon day. Without further ado, here's more on the film. 

Brief Story Line

When SpongeBob (Tom Kenny - Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp etc) realized he just grew taller, he wanted to prove that he was a big guy by following the footsteps of his boss Mr. Krabs (Clancy Brown - The Penguin TV series, Warcraft: The Beginning etc) and became a swashbuckler. SpongeBob somehow summoned the pirate ghost Flying Dutchman (Mark Hamill - The Wild Robot, Star Wars: The Last Jedi etc) who convinced him to go on a dangerous adventure to get the swashbuckler certificate. Together with his best friend Patrick (Bill Fagerbakke - Coach sitcom etc), SpongeBob went on the journey along with the Dutchman and his crew that included his assistant Barb (Regina Hall - Me Time, Think Like a Man etc).

Wonder Park - An Amazingly Animated Kid-friendly Movie Just For Fun

After 2 days playing in Indonesian theaters, my wife and I finally saw this movie yesterday. It was quite unusual for us to not be seeing a new film on its premiere date, but as it did not play in the theater near our home, we had to look for other theaters as alternative. Luckily it played in another cinema chain not that far. OK we shall start with the movie now.

Brief Story Line (to avoid possible spoiler, go direct to below this section for my views)

June (Brianna Denski) was a young kid who had very high imagination and together with her mother (Jennifer Garner - Peppermint etc) created an imaginative amusement park in their minds called Wonder Park. It was filled with various ridiculously wild rides and accompanied by some charming animals such as Boomer (Ken Hudson Campbell) the blue bear with "hibernate disorder", Greta (Mila Kunis - The Spy Who Dumped Me etc) the firm but kind-hearted boar, Steve (John Oliver) the intelligent porcupine, plus the talkative beaver brothers Gus (Kenan Thompson - Grinch animated version etc) and Cooper (Ken Jeong - Goosebumps 2 etc). The host of this Wonder Park was a charming chimpanzee called Peanut (Norbert Leo Butz). All these animals were actually stuffed dolls that June had in her room.
