00:00Welcome, Spongebob. Welcome, Patrick. And I also want to bring up, just so he can facilitate this

00:09today, because he's going to kind of drive this thing, the voice of Spongebob, the man that we

00:15so love and adore, Mr. Tom Kenny. Yeah!

00:21Thank you so much. Thank you, Tom. Good morning, Spongebob. How are you? Good morning, everybody.

00:33How you doing? Are you having a bubbly day? I hope so. I saw some bubbles out there. I'm

00:41going to make you. You know, Spongebob spends a lot of time in his tighty-whities, so I'm

00:45going to keep my remarks brief. Anyway, good morning, Krusty Crew, or should I say, are

00:51you ready, kids? No? Aye, aye, Captain. That's how you do it. Wow. I don't know that I ever

01:03could have been ready for this wild ride that we have been on for the past 26 years. What

01:08a wild ride it's been. When Steven Hillenburg first showed me his pitch in preliminary drawings

01:14for Spongebob, it was just love at first sight. You got to remember that at one point, Spongebob

01:20was just drawings in Steven's notebooks, right? There was no animation of him yet. It all started

01:24out as an idea and drawings on paper, and I was just knocked out by his vision. Steven

01:32gifted me and the cast the greatest day job in the world, brought a lot of very special

01:38people into my life. Too many to name here, but my cast, Bill Foggerbocky, Clancy Brown,

01:44Doug Mr. Lawrence, Roger Bumpus, my gal pals, Carolyn Lawrence, Lori Allen, Mary Jo Catlett,

01:50and of course, my favorite actors in the world, and my wife, Jill Talley, the voice of Karen

01:55the Computer, the masters of Sponge World, Vince Waller and Mark Ceccarelli, and the writer-director

02:03of this film, who is OGSB. He was there at the beginning, Derek Dryman. And of course, the newest

02:12addition to our Krusty Crew, a guy that I've actually been friends with for many years, but we finally got

02:17to work together very intensively on this film, Mark Hamill. Wow. So, but most importantly of all,

02:29those are all very important people to me, but the most importantly, you guys, the fans, who have

02:34stuck with us for all these years. How many of you guys were watching the show 26 years ago?

02:40Yeah. All right. So we want to thank you guys who might be new, emerging onto the SpongeBob freeway,

02:48and we also want to thank the older fans who grew up with us and who spread their love of SpongeBob to

02:53their kids, their grandkids. Big round of applause for the fans. I'd like to thank the TCL Chinese

03:02Theater for this surreal honor, and Nickelodeon and Paramount Animation for keeping the Spongeboat

03:10afloat. And we are really, really excited about this movie that you are about to see.

03:15After a quarter century, the amazing team still carries the torch of Steve Hillenberg and his vision

03:21for SpongeBob. It's an honor and a pleasure for all of us to do. And in this upside down world that

03:27we live in, where cold callous cruelty and rudeness and total lack of empathy often seems to be the

03:33default setting from the top down. I'm proud and happy to spend so much time in the bottom,

03:41bikini bottom, playing on team Hillenberg where optimism, joy, and good-hearted humor rule the day.

03:48Can I get a cheer for that? So here's to the little guys who are really the big guys,

03:57the bubble-blowing babies, the goofy goobers, Stephen Hillenberg and this square dude he created

04:02with whom I have shared a brain for almost half my life. Come on, SpongeBob SquarePants,

04:08let's do this! Yeah! Great! Now what?

04:38.

04:54What's gotcha before theincoln street?

04:55I'm Coin Siege Young.

04:56So here's the big�.

04:58So here's the big diva.

05:03I Enfck.

05:03So here's the big sad melody and the Ihrnla riddle.

05:05Okay.
