    I watched Plankton: The Movie! The movie was 1h 27m long. This was a fun movie! It had the classic SpongeBob humor, and it was cool to see Plankton as the protagonist! The animation looked great as well, and it had cuts to a couple of different art styles that looked awesome! It was a good time!

    Watched Plankton the Movie After how Sandy's movie went, thankfully Plankton has a much better film that with a strong story with him and Karen, the songs and comedy are more memorable and the animation being better with it's different styles throughout

    idc how much online discourse there is surrounding this series, but Plankton The Movie is one of my new favorite things to ever come out of the SpongeBob franchise. Maybe that's just recency bias, but I honestly don't even care. It's a MARVEL at how massive of a step up this is from the Sandy Movie

    "Plankton: The Movie", despite the TV quality CGI animation, somewhat hit-and-miss humor, and a somewhat slow first act, is a solid dive into Plankton as a character. All thanks to the strong heart of the movie focusing on his relationship with Karen and good utilization of secondary characters.

    SpongeBob's famous villain Plankton recently got his own feature length spinoff film. And while this film isn't anything incredible to write home about, it does have a little charm to make it a fine film. Anyway, here's my review of Plankton: The Movie.

    Today I learned that The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants started life as a streaming spin off film and would have centered on Mr. Krabs. Considering that there were plans for more SpongeBob streaming spin off films after Saving Bikini Bottom and Plankton, this doesn't surprise me.

    I think it’s telling that when the Plankton movie came out, there was no “Hillenburg didn’t want this!” outcry because most agreed the film was good. Seems to indicate anyone using that argument is attempting to appear morally correct in not liking something modern SB-related.

  • Warren Currie 🦠🦐 @[email protected]Mastodon · Feb 14, 2026 · official account, not scored

    Weekend #Plankton Factoid 🦠🦐 A recent review in #Science highlights knowledge gaps of the "calcifying plankton" role for biogenic carbon removal in #climate models. Coccolithophores (algae), foraminifers (amoebae), and pteropods (snails) all produce calcium carbonate shells vital to the carbon pump storing carbon in the oceans, but each have varied growth limitations. CaCO3 is also odd in that it dissolves in depths below 4000-5000m, which makes modeling more complex.…

    It's like in the Spongebob movie when they recover the crown, the main drive of the movie, and then Plankton just casually mind control King Neptune and undoes their victory. Spongebob dejectedly says "Plankton cheated". Plankton just lets out a confused chuckle. "What, you think this is a GAME?"
