WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT? If they're fans of the TV show, that's a definite yes. With the aid of the likes of Mindy, David Hasselhoff (DAVID HASSELHOFF) and others, the two oblivious do-gooders race against time and try to avoid various obstacles and dangers to get the crown back to the King before he fries up Krabs. That includes Dennis (voice of ALEC BALDWIN), a killer hired by Plankton to make sure the two don't succeed. With Patrick by his side, the two set out with just six days to succeed, unaware of the peril that awaits them along the way.

Neptune's compassionate daughter, Mindy (voice of SCARLETT JOHANSSON), urges the King not to kill Krabs and Spongebob volunteers to travel to Shell City, retrieve the crown and get his boss off the hook. To get Krabs out of the way, he steals King Neptune's (voice of JEFFREY TAMBOR) crown and blames the theft on the innocent but greedy crab. In the meantime, the diminutive Plankton (voice of DOUG LAWRENCE) is following a devious scheme to steal Krabs' secret recipe for Krabby Patties for his own restaurant, the Chum Bucket. When the crab boss chooses Squidward (voice of ROGER BUMPASS), however, Spongebob and his starfish best friend Patrick (voice of BILL FAGERBAKKE) go on a dessert bender that leaves them hung-over the next day.

PLOT: In the undersea world of Bikini Bottom, life is good and Spongebob Squarepants (voice of TOM KENNY) is positive he's going to be promoted from fry cook to manager at the new Krusty Krab 2 restaurant run by Eugene Krabs (voice of CLANCY BROWN).

QUICK TAKE: Animated Comedy: A sponge-shaped kid and his aquatic sidekick have just six days to retrieve their King's stolen crown before the angry leader fries a crustacean restaurateur who's been framed for the theft by a competitor. (2004) (voices of Tom Kenny, Bill Fagerbakke) (PG)
