The short, narrated by the French narrator from the show, will play before G and PG rated movies at Screenivision movie theaters around the U.S. from May 24 to Aug. 29. It's almost like a little teaser for The SpongeBob Movie: It's a Wonderful Sponge that's slated to come to theaters in summer 2020. Ahead of that full-length movie will be the new one-hour special "SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout," which premieres on Friday 12th July 2019 at 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon USA, followed by a global rollout.
It’s SpongeBob’s birthday in “SpongeBob’s Big Birthday Blowout,” an original mixed live-action and animated special which features for the first time the celebrated voice talent behind SpongeBob, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, Sandy, Squidward and Plankton - Tom Kenny, Bill Fagerbakke, Clancy Brown, Carolyn Lawrence, Roger Bumpass and Mr. Lawrence, respectively - playing live-action doppelgänger versions of the animated characters they voice! In the one-hour special, Bikini Bottom is getting ready for a very special day: SpongeBob's birthday! To mark the occasion, Sandy, helped by the inhabitants of the underwater city, decide to organise a surprise birthday party for SpongeBob. In order to keep the birthday boy away from the preparations, Patrick and SpongeBob go on a crazy trip to the surface world, where they come across a few familiar characters during lunchtime rush at The Trusty Slab restaurant. The special will also feature special guest stars David Hasselhoff (Baywatch, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie), Kel Mitchell (All That, Kenan & Kel, Good Burger), Jack Griffo (The Thundermans) and Daniella Perkins (Knight Squad).
