Animatic meeting
 
YES! :D As you can tell, I'm very excited. :P I wonder whether it will take place after the first movie.

Also, I hope this doesn't mean the series will be put on hiatus again to focus on the movie.
 
Awesome! This gets me really excited. 2014 seems so far away though
 
YES. YES. A million times yes. Best part of the day. This is so awesome, so amazing, so funderfully snap-tastic that I can't contain myself. Sweet nuggets, this is awesome. I'm surprised one wasn't ordered earlier, though. I'd expect money-loving Viacom to have at least a Spongebob trilogy out by now :P

It may be ten years after the first one, but I'm really glad. Yes, things could conceviably go horribly wrong, but I really hope it turns out just as good, if not better than the first. I bet my excitement is gonna die with an announcement as stupid as this, though:

"Stephen Hillenburg: I know you guys are excited, but I'm here to say that writing on the movie....
*Crowd gasps*
Is exactly what I won't be doing! Our head writers are Aaron Springer, Uwe Boll and George Lucas! We'll be using Flash to animate! YEEEAHHH OCEANS AND SPONGEBOB GOODNIGHT"

I'm still a little scared about the movie's potential quality level, but if Seasons 9 & 10 turn out to be good, then I'll be really anticipating the movie.
But regardless, can't wait!
 
It better be the ending to the series. My childhood will be complete then.
 
can't wait to see it oh btw on same year as another SB movie, this could be also 10th anniversary to SBM :D
 
I think what I'm most excited about is the promotion and merchandising. I missed out on all the hype of the first movie, so I'm looking forward to experiencing it first hand this time around.

I first became a fan of the show about a few months before the movie was released in the United States, however, I don't really remember there being as much promotion for the movie here in Britain (besides some advertisements and a Burger King toy deal.) So I'm hoping that as the show is more popular now, there will be a lot more promotion and merchandising. :)
 
I haven't been this excited for a movie..... WELL SINCE THE FIRST ONE! :patrickomg: Okay, I am so glad that the movie is coming out that I felt like running in the streets when I heard this the other day. I have so many questions running through my mind. Like, Will this confirm the end of the series like the last one was going to, but become so famous that the show goes on stronger? AAAAAHHHH I am shaking as I'm writing this. I wonder also what it will be about, I mean there is a deleted scene from the SB movie about Sandy being a spy, maybe the movie will be about that? Though, unlikely, I could imagine it. I agree with SBrocks, I enjoyed the merchandise from the first one (the cereal, the BK meals, etc.) but I wonder what the new merchandise will be like. Like the first movie, I will be seeing it on the opening day, but this time I will be more aware (since I was seven years old at the time) and stay outside all night for the premire, when I'm 17. xD Since this will be the 15th year of SB and the 10th year of the first movie, I wonder how the movie will turn out. Do you guys think that it will take place before the last SB movie or after the last SB movie. I mean, the SB movie is chronologically the last episode.
 
This is impressive for the show's longevity. The first movie happened 5 years after the show started, which seemed like a long wait to some, and now a second one happens 10 years after that.

So many articles...

Maybe, maybe not. Only time will tell.

Personally, I hope that this new movie will be not be a direct sequel or prequel to the first one. I'd like it to work well on its own and not require the audience to have seen the first one or even be totally familiar with series (one of the downfalls of the first movie was that you really had to watch some episodes first for it to make much sense).
It would be cool if they got creative and, without straying from the key things that make Spongebob so successful, maybe tried some different styles and techniques to make the movie more interesting and less like it could just have been a TV episode.
