SIX MONTHS?!?!?! Whyyyyyy? Whyyyyyyyyyyyy?

Looks promising. If it comes out bad, I will march right down to Nickelodeon Animation Studios and attack everyone for rewening my life.

I didn't watch any stop-motion Christmas specials when I was younger :?

Must be a US thing.

I'm not sure about that, I'm quite familiar with stop-motion Christmas specials too.

The Christmas special is talked about a little in this MTV Geek video:

Nothing we don't already know so far, but we should get more info from the Spongebob panel in a couple of days.

I want to see this a lot!

 

[SBRoxMan]

Now I really want to see this, I'm really fascinated by stop-motion :)

 

[E.V.I.L]

Bleh, stop motion. I still think it will be good though.

 

[DadMom AngryPants]

According to the Amazon description of the DVD release, the two downloadable songs from the episode are called "Santa's Eyes" and "Hot Fruit Cake".
This means that the episode will actually have 3 songs, the third being "Don't Be A Jerk", which the episode is based on.

I seriously am anxious. Not so happy about stop motion, though.

 

[E.V.I.L]

Yeah, I never liked stop-motion.

What's wrong with Stop-Motion? Anyway, here's a pic, straight from Vincent Waller's twitter:

Apparently, he and Richard Pursel took a trip to Screen Novelties. Pretty cool. That's Rich Pursel in the pic, by the way.

Thanks for that pic! That looks like the case of puppets they took to Comic Con. Cool to get a closer view. :)

"Style!"

Sorry ... I can't seem to stop answering posts with SpongeBob quotes today ...

What's wrong with Stop-Motion?

SpongeBob has never been a stop motion animation and so I'm not really looking forward to them messing about with it like that. Stop motion animation -> 2D animation is great, but 2D animation -> stop-motion animation or 3D animation is not as great

 

[E.V.I.L]

This show ain't meant for stop-motion. That's like animating CNN. (I hate that channel like Patrick does :p )

Why does Patrick hate CNN?

 

[E.V.I.L]

Why does Patrick hate CNN?

Because Patrick hates basically every channel on youtube.
