Talk:The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run

Title
Is the "3" in the title correct? I've only seen the title as The SpongeBob Movie: It's a Wonderful Sponge. AJFU (talk) 22:18, 9 February 2019 (UTC)


 * @ AJFU: We had problems moving the page from the draft without the 3. If you wish, you can try to fix the title. Cardei012597 (talk) 22:34, 9 February 2019 (UTC)


 * The page has now been moved to the correct title. AJFU  (talk) 13:40, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

Any promotional image
If there's any poster or image present around, it could help. --XSMan2016 (talk) 14:13, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

Not yet, it'll probably be another month or so before an official poster is released. Cardei012597 (talk) 01:52, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

Teaser release poster date
The release for the teaser poster was actually confirmed today at 8am November 13. It can be seen right here. AstrosRocketsTexans3522 (talk) 20:24, 13 November 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by AstrosRocketsTexans3522 (talk • contribs) 20:12, 13 November 2019 (UTC)


 * It is fine to go off of the People source from yesterday. It is not 'wrong' at all. Now please stop reverting the date. Magitroopa (talk) 20:15, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
 * It's literally confirmed by Twitter from Paramount Pictures from themselves today at 8am... Why do you keep reverting it? AstrosRocketsTexans3522 (talk) 20:17, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
 * A WP:RS source from yesterday is perfectly fine to use as well. Continuing to revert it is. Magitroopa (talk) 20:19, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Twitter is also a WP:RS because Paramount Pictures has a blue verified check mark. I don't understand why this leads to WP:DE.AstrosRocketsTexans3522 (talk) 20:23, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Because what you are implying that just because it is from the official Twitter, that must be the source we use, no matter what anyone else says. The article from yesterday is perfectly fine, thus meaning the poster was revealed yesterday. Magitroopa (talk) 20:27, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay I'm gonna leave it alone under protest alright? Because Paramount Pictures just released the official teaser from their official Twitter page today. Plus I don't have time to get in in an edit war with you. AstrosRocketsTexans3522 (talk) 20:42, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't think you understand how it works at all- We don't need to wait specifically for the studio themselves to officially release the poster. The People article from yesterday included the poster, given by Paramount. People didn't just 'find' the poster randomly by chance, they were given it to run a story on it. We don't need to wait for the studio themselves to release it themselves to say it was 'released', the article from yesterday first put the poster out to the public. Magitroopa (talk) 20:58, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

I actually do understand how it all works. I don’t know why you would say that. Why can’t we wait until the studio officially confirms it? It appears you’re just coming off rude to me for something I didn’t understand. AstrosRocketsTexans3522 (talk) 21:58, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Keanu Reeves' role
This is getting ridiculous. Reeves' role was clearly revealed in the trailer. Why must we keep it as unknown? - Jasonbres (talk) 23:53, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Obviously that is not the case when it changes whenever someone tries to add it back- whether it be "as the Sage", "as Sage", or now, "as a talking tumbleweed". The character needs to be sourced if it's on the page, and just going off of, "what is said in the trailer," is WP:OR. There needs to be a legitimate WP:RS on the character. Magitroopa (talk) 00:11, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Such as... - Jasonbres (talk) 00:16, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Just as an example- that would be the same as using this trailer as a source that Banderas' character is just called, "a pirate"- with no name, when that is just WP:OR and with the movie out for several years- would be incorrect anyways as the character does have a name they are credited as. Simply using the trailer is not a source. Magitroopa (talk) 00:19, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

Young Spongebob
Does anyone know who played the young SpongeBob? I saw a trailer, and there's a flashback scene where the title character is young. 2605:E000:2E52:FA00:B083:D042:E2C4:1BCC (talk) 05:33, 11 March 2020 (UTC) Probably still Tom Kenny.

Hello! I was wondering if I (or you) could add Keanu Reeves to the cast list as "Sage the tumbleweed."

Poster with new release date
Anyone know how to properly add a movie poster to a movie's article? The how-to articles of uploading photos is pretty confusing. I found the poster for this certain movie with it's new release date, but what exactly do I type in "image"? My saved poster file is "The SpongeBob Movie - Sponge on the Run poster.jpeg". Any help is appreciated! - Cineplex (talk) 8:35PM - April 21, 2020

May I Please Edit The Release Date For Sponge On The Run The Release Date Has Been Changed Once Again To September 2020. Nathan Mohammed (talk) 08:06, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * As of right now, the only source for this is the Twitter for Paramount Pictures Australia. Other sources such as the official US Twitter are still advertising the August 7 date, so let's wait for an official confirmation before we change any dates. Magitroopa (talk) 08:24, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

direct to internet
Is there a reason why direct to internet isn't a term used for movies, such as direct to video or made for tv? It make it seem like direct to internet sounds negative so it's not being used, until they are fully accepted as equal to theatrical released films. --2605:A000:1E02:C0F7:707E:A04:36F7:76A9 (talk) 05:24, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

Poster change
As per 's recent poster changes... I really don't see a need to change from to. I'm not the best in regards to images on Wikipedia, but the Canadian engagement poster seems to be too big for non-free use rationale, there's no information on the copyright usage/where the Canadian poster was obtained from, and I certainly don't see the benefit in replacing the current poster with one that has the unnecessary "Exclusive Canada Engagement" at the top. There's no need to see that/for it whatsoever. Thoughts? Magitroopa (talk) 04:20, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Also see WP:FILMNFI and WP:FILMPOSTER. Magitroopa (talk) 04:22, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, I found the poster from the Cineplex website and it also appears on the Landmark Cinemas website and IMDB. What if I photoshopped the "Exclusive Canada Engagement" off of the poster? Also, where do I type in where the poster came from and it's copyright usage? -- Cody Fearless-Lee (talk) - 12:29AM - August 14, 2020

Incorrect credits and cast
The credits to The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run are mostly false in this article. Michael Kvamme never wrote the screenplay with Tim Hill, Hill solely wrote the screenplay to the film. Aaron Springer never wrote the story with Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger, Tim Hill did. See for yourselves. https://dx35vtwkllhj9.cloudfront.net/paramountpictures/spongebob-movie-sponge-on-the-run/spongebob_us_credits.pdf Also we know who the editor is, it is Michael W. Andrews. And it's not Larry Fong as the cinematographer, it's Peter Lyons Collister. As for Keanu Reeves, Awkwafina, and Tiffany Haddish, we know who their roles are, they're Sage, Otto, and Master of Ceremonies. Danny Trejo's also in the film too. You can type in the full plot if you want to too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:CB:8200:7220:80F4:2060:37D8:B61F (talk) 03:31, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * We go by the actual reliable sources we currently have listed. You also need a reliable source(s) for the cast, not original research from seeing the movie yourself. Magitroopa (talk) 03:44, 24 August 2020 (UTC)


 * I think usually, a film itself is considered an adequate source when it comes to basic details like credits and character names. I don't think such details qualify as original research if they're clearly stated in the film or the credits. However, an online source would aid verifiability, given the film's limited release in only one country so far. This looks like it would be fine for the character names.


 * As for the writers, I don't see any source in the article for Aaron Springer, and according to one editor: "Head of story (at least in animated films) is another way of saying lead storyboard artist (in other words, not a script writer)." Kvamme's involvement appears to be an outdated piece of information, sourced to a 2018 report (before production began). The end credits have been posted on YouTube, and like the poster image above, they don't include Kvamme. This source (which is already in the article) lists the final, correct credits (no Kvamme or Springer).


 * This source lists Andrews as the editor. I couldn't find a source for Collister, but he is listed in the end credits as the director of photography. The info about Fong's involvement seems to have originated from DiscussingFilm, and then it was picked up by some other websites. I don't know if DiscussingFilm is a reliable source (there was a brief discussion here). As far as I can tell, there was never any official confirmation from the filmmakers that Fong was involved. AJFU  (talk) 21:45, 24 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Just to clarify a few things about those things:


 * Just editing and saying 'I saw the film and this is the correct info' is definitely original research- cast should be source per WP:FILMCAST
 * I have no clue if Tribute.ca is considered reliable, but the FAQ doesn't seem to indicate anything about user-generated content, so that may be fine...
 * I have no clue if DF is a reliable source either, but don't think the Twitter can be used since it's not a verified account, which is usually frowned upon to use as a source. The website/company (or whatever you want to call it) seems fine to me, especially with the team they have.
 * Credits posted on YT by some rando-user would be NOTRS. Official/verified accounts/channels would be fine, like how
 * The IP that started this thread ('Incorrect credits and cast') is now blocked for block evasion (they were saying that have an account here that is indefinitely blocked...)


 * Hopefully that clears some stuff up. Magitroopa (talk) 22:06, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

I know it's not February yet, but do you know what DAY in February will this come out in the US? Or will it release on March 4 (the day that Paramount+ will come out)? I really want to know. 2601:40A:8480:1750:CC0F:FA2B:2719:D3EF (talk) 00:17, 21 January 2021 (UTC)


 * We do not know the information- it definitely could've changed within the past month or past few weeks, but the current source used states it is releasing in February (no specific date). It will certainly be updated once we know/have a reliable source for the information. Magitroopa (talk) 00:58, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Add a home media section detailing the Canadian-exclusive Blu-Ray and DVD release of this film. SupConnor64 (talk) 19:47, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

What I mean is I suggest we add a "Home Media" section under "Release" that describes the Blu-ray and DVD releases. It should detail the fact it was released on February 2nd and is exclusive to Canada. Take https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_SpongeBob_Movie:_Sponge_Out_of_Water#Home_media for example on how it should go. This is a real release https://www.amazon.ca/SpongeBob-Movie-Sponge-Blu-ray-Combo/dp/B08S57W95B SupConnor64 (talk) 14 February 2021 (UTC)

Done Thank you for explaining, I've now implemented the request. I referenced it to this source, which I hope is ok - I didn't think the Amazon listing was appropriate. Thanks J850NK (talk) 18:35, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Billing Block
There were 13 people listed in the end credits, not 12. No one has to follow SAG's rules. No other page does. What makes this one so special? KigToons (talk) 05:12, 31 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Perhaps could give some insight? As it appears to have originally been done in this edit. Magitroopa (talk) 05:20, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
 * rule of thumb on here has, to my understanding, always been to have the cast listing in infobox follow the billing block from the poster. When that is not available (a lot of the time the case with animated and Netflix films) you default to the billing in credits, which 9/10 times follow the poster. And that’s identified as single-screen billing. So just because a name appears, if it’s alongside another credit then they’re not “top billed”.
