    • Trivia
      Confirmed to be dedicated to the memory of series creator Stephen Hillenburg, who died on November 27, 2018 of ALS/Lou Gehrig's Disease. He receives executive producer credit in the film, as the film began development before his death.
    • Goofs
      SpongeBob and Sandy are shown meeting at summer camp as children. However, in 'Tea at the Treedome' they met as adults. Similarly, SpongeBob and Squidward are shown to have met as children at summer camp, when they met as adults in a flashback in 'Truth or Square'.
    • Quotes

      [from a Super Bowl spot]

      Mr. Krabs: The commercials in this game are really expensive, SpongeBob.

      Squidward: [scoffing] It's just the pre-game.

      Mr. Krabs: You've got twenty-six seconds to tell me everything in this movie.

      SpongeBob SquarePants: [saluting] Sir, yes sir! There's fast cars, flashbacks, Snoop Dogg...

      [a crowd of fish gasps]

      SpongeBob SquarePants: ... robots...

      [SpongeBob rips his pants and gets excited]

      SpongeBob SquarePants: ... a wise sage...

      Sage: Hello!

      SpongeBob SquarePants: ...churros...

      SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick Star: [losing focus] Ohhh...

      SpongeBob SquarePants: ...the only thing missing is Gary.

      [SpongeBob is screaming out in the open with lightning strikes in the background]

      SpongeBob SquarePants: GARY!

      Patrick Star: Let's go find him!

      SpongeBob SquarePants: Do I smell a road trip?

      Patrick Star: That could be my breath!

      [the title appears and read by the commercial's narrator]

      Mr. Krabs: Eh, that was money well spent!

      [the Super Bowl spot ends]

    • Crazy credits
      Prior to the closing credits, after we see Bikini Bottom one last time in a closing shot, a memorial card of Stephen Hillenburg is displayed with his original design of SpongeBob SquarePants and is accompanied by the last fourth of the show's theme song, which then surges into the original song "Agua".
    • Alternate versions
      Trifecta-syndicated prints omit a couple foul languages:
      • SpongeBob's "It sure does feel over... and crappy." omits the 'and crappy.' portion to the next shot.
      • Squidward's "Okay fine: He's super freaking annoying." edits the 'freaking' out, even though he speaks it.

    Great movie
    Very simple plot but is a lot of fun with some fun cameos as well as many funny jokes. Didn't get boring at any times. I think that it was definitely better than the previous movie.
