Reviews

SpongeBob's Atlantis SquarePantis received mixed to average reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a moderate rating of 5.9/10, indicating a mixed reception from viewers. Critics generally praised the film's colorful animation and the energetic voice performances, especially Tom Kenny's portrayal of SpongeBob, which remained consistent with the series. However, some reviews noted that the movie's plot felt stretched and less engaging compared to the original TV episodes. Entertainment Weekly mentioned that the special "captures the series' quirky spirit but doesn't quite reach the heights of its best episodes." Metacritic, which aggregates critic reviews, does not have a dedicated score for the special, reflecting its niche release as a TV movie rather than a theatrical feature. Rotten Tomatoes, while lacking an official Tomatometer score, features audience user reviews that suggest the film is enjoyable for younger viewers and longtime fans but may not appeal as much to casual viewers or adults. Overall, SpongeBob's Atlantis SquarePantis is viewed as a fun, family-friendly adventure with charming moments, yet it struggles to maintain the pacing and tight storytelling characteristic of the original series episodes.
