Ever since the synopsis for the upcoming
SpongeBob SquarePants spin-off
Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years was
revealed, one of the things that has puzzled fans is about the introduction of Sandy Cheeks.
In
SpongeBob SquarePants, SpongeBob and Patrick first meet Sandy Cheeks in the episode "Tea at the Treedome", however, the diving suit-wearing squirrel from Texas who lives in a treedome in Bikini Bottom will also be featured in
Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years, which would contradict the events in "Tea at the Treedome".
A prequel to
SpongeBob SquarePants,
Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years follows 10-year-old SpongeBob during his summer at sleepaway camp, with stars Tom Kenny (SpongeBob SquarePants), Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick Star), Rodger Bumpass (Squidward), Clancy Brown (Mr. Krabs), Carolyn Lawrence (Sandy Cheeks) and Mr. Lawrence (Plankton), all of whom are reprising their iconic roles in this new series.
Although the synopsis doesn't explicitly mention that SpongeBob and Sandy will actually meet in
Kamp Koral, fans have speculated that they will, as Carolyn is reprising the role of Sandy for the new series.
However, it doesn't sound like fans need to worry about whether the events of
Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years will contradict what happened in
SpongeBob SquarePants!
When asked on Twitter whether the events
Kamp Koral will rewrite the events of
SpongeBob SquarePants, long-time
SpongeBob SquarePants executive producer Vincent Waller revealed "All will be revealed in the end"!
We won't know what Vincent means until
Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years debuts on CBS All Access early next year, but it sounds like
Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years will keep the
SpongeBob SquarePants timeline intact!
Are you looking forward to
Kamp Koral? How do you think the writers are keeping Sandy's story intact? Let me know in the comments!
AHOY! THERE BE SPOILERS AHEAD!
In The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run, as SpongeBob and Patrick embark on a mission to find Gary, Sandy, Mr. Krabs and Squidward reminisce about how they first met SpongeBob.
For Sandy, it's at Camp Coral, when she flies in on a Jellyfish. When she introduces herself to SpongeBob and explains why she's wearing a helmet, she shares her dream to become a scientist, before dismissing the idea. SpongeBob then encourages her to never give up her dream, with Sandy replying "I'd be just as likely to live down here in a glass dome with a tree in it," foreshadowing the future.
