Plot Summary : The character-driven toon chronicles the nautical and sometimes nonsensical adventures of SpongeBob, an incurably optimistic and earnest sea sponge, and his undersea friends. Dwelling a few fathoms beneath the tropical isle of Bikini Atoll in the sub-surface city of Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob lives in a two-story pineapple. Instead of taking the logical approach to everyday challenges, SpongeBob approaches life in a wayward and unconventional way. Whether searching for the ultimate spatula to perfect his burger flipping technique at the Krusty Krab, or just hanging out with his best friend Patrick (an amiable starfish), SpongeBob’s good intentions and overzealous approach to life usually create chaos in his underwater world.

In the ocean, there is a town called Bikini Bottom. The residents of Bikini Bottom are all fish. But there is a certain fry cook named Spongebob Squarepants. Just getting a job at Bikini Bottom’s most popular restaurant The Krusty Krab, he lives a crazy life with his hard-headed neighbor, and friend, Patrick. His next door Neighbor Squidward is a sarcastic, boring squid who can’t stand Spongebob and Patrick. In the Krusty Krab, Spongebob’s Boss, Eugene Krabs is one of the most money-greedy men alive. He’s probably the most money-greedy man alive. So, in Spongebob’s life, life under the sea is always quirky and crazy.

Spongebob Squarepants is a talking square sponge "who lives in a pineapple under the sea." His relentless cheerfulness gets on the nerves of his grumpy neighbor, Squidward Tentacles. Spongebob works as a frycook at the Crusty Crab, owned by the kind-hearted but greedy Mr. Crabs. Spongebob’s other pals are Gary, SB’s pet snail, Patrick Star, a simple-minded starfish, and Sandy Cheeks, a space-suit wearing Texan squirrel.

This show takes place under the sea, in a little town of Bikini Bottom. Many sea creatures live there. None of them however are as loveable as Spongebob Squarepants. He lives in a Pinappele with his pet snail Gary. He lives next door to Squidward Tenticles, a boring and stuffy squid that hates Spongebob. He Also lives near his best friend Patrick Star, a little dumb starfish who really loves ice cream. He goes to work at the Krusty Krab, a local restaurant runned by the greedy Mr. Eugene Krabs. Some of other Spongebobs friends include Sandy, a squirrel who lives in an underwater air dome, there is Pearl, Mr. Krabs’s teenage and bratty daughter, Larry and SCooter, who are two local beach bums. There is also Mrs. Puff who teaches Spongebob how to drive. Oh, and I shouldn’t leave out Plankton, an evil organism whos restaurant is the most unpopular in the sea.

Trivia : Indie film maker Paul Chart (American Perfekt (1997)) was originally signed to write and direct the picture and penned the original script. Chart left the project, however, after a decision was made to shoot the film in 3-D, uncomfortable with the possibility it would become more ‘theme park ride’ than the epic action-adventure film he envisioned. The Jules Verne novel was apparently one of his favorite pieces of literature. Chart was ultimately replaced with effects specialist Eric Brevig and the script was heavily retooled to emphasize the new 3-D format.

Goofs : Factual errors: One character finds himself walking across a chasm on magnetic rocks that float on a horizontal plane and bump off one another like bits of flat wood. Magnetic poles either attract or repel, so the rocks should either snap together or repel from one another, spin, then snap together. Even if large, flat magnetic rocks somehow found a natural equilibrium between their weight and magnetism, the weight of a person walking on them would destroy it.

Tag Lines : Same Planet. Different World.

Plot Summary : Professor Trevor Anderson receives his teenager nephew Sean Anderson. He will spend ten days with his uncle while his mother, Elizabeth, prepares to move to Canada. She gives a box to Trevor that belonged to his missing brother, Max, and Trevor finds a book with references to the last journey of his brother. He decides to follow the steps of Max with Sean and they travel to Iceland, where they meet the guide Hannah Ásgeirsson. While climbing a mountain, there is a thunderstorm and they protect themselves in a cave. However, a lightening collapses the entrance and the trio is trapped in the cave. They seek an exit and falls in a hole, discovering a lost world in the center of the Earth.
