When people say the phrase nightmare fuel, this new Netflix movie is precisely the kind of thing they’re referring to.
Everyone’s favorite Bikini Bottom resident is starring in a brand new film. No, not SpongeBob . The focus, for the first time, is all on Sandy Cheeks, the squirrel scientist from Texas who came undersea to Bikini Bottom to do valuable research..
Instead of getting to know Sandy, the film throws a bunch of new characters into the mix—Sandy’s entire family is introduced, who are all one-note and are stereotypical Southern archetypes instead of fleshed-out characters. The family dynamics should, in theory, tell us a lot more about who Sandy is, but the film never dives deeper than the fact that Sandy is a scientist and loves her friends—things you already can glean from a single episode of the TV show, or a quick google search.
That’s especially clear with villain Sue Nahmee , played by Wanda Sykes. Sykes is completely committed to the bit as the mad scientist with a sinister plan, and brings the attitude that makes you feel like you’re about to see the next Felix Buchanan, the beloved Hugh Grant character in. But the script doesn’t know what to do with Sue, who’s left to flounder with two deeply unfunny lab assistants.
An ever-reliable SpongeBob trademark is its vivid and colorful animation, and this is the first movie that does away with the traditional animated look of the franchise. Previous entryplayed with the idea of CG-characters when the characters left Bikini Bottom for the surface, and the result was enjoyable, with the delightful color and textures remaining intact.though, the result is borderline disastrous.
Even worse is what they do with Sykes’ Sue Nahmee. The character gets a flashback sequence to her youth, but retains her adult head, which is a fun gag for a brief moment, but becomes increasingly uneasy as it goes on. What’s stranger is that she looks like something out of Canadian youth television show. When people say the phrase nightmare fuel, this is precisely the kind of thing they’re referring to.
