"The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie" debuted 19 years ago and sent SpongeBob and Patrick (Tom Kenny and Bill Fagerbakke) on an epic adventure to save Mr. Krabs (Clancy Brown) and the Krabby Patty secret formula from Plankton (Mr. Lawrence).
After being passed over for a manager promotion, SpongeBob and Patrick are forced to journey through unfamiliar landscapes and interact with dangerous characters to retrieve King Neptune's (Jeffrey Tambor) crown from Shell City.
And much like the three seasons of "SpongeBob SquarePants" that preceded it, "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie" is highly quotable to this day.
I still find myself randomly quoting "You don't need a license to drive a sandwich," "We're on a baby hunt, and don't think we don't know how to weed 'em out," and the monologue leading up to the "Goofy Goober Rock," as shown in the video above.
The movie also doubles as a coming-of-age story as SpongeBob and Patrick try their best to become men and shake everyone else's perception of them as immature kids who can't handle responsibility.
As a kid, I mostly enjoyed the adventure and numerous funny quotes in the movie, but as an adult, I can relate to the idea of feeling like I'm still being perceived as a kid and wanting to shake that perception by proving how adult I am.
"The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie" really is something for people of all ages to enjoy.
