According to its official synopsis, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run sees SpongeBob and best pal Patrick embark on a "madcap mission" to rescue the former's pet snail Gary, who has "snailnapped" by King Poseidon.
Throughout their journey, the duo will traverse the great lengths of the ocean floor in search of their pink-shelled pal, from The Krusty Krab in Bikini Bottom to The Lost City of Atlantic City. They even bump into Keanu Reeves at one point...
While UK and international fans will be able to watch SpongeBob and Patrick's latest adventure on Netflix, in the US the movie is being released on premium digital rental services in early 2021, before arriving on streaming service CBS AllAccess.
