Film Critic, Age 10<\/p>\n<p>The film <em>Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie <\/em>is very humorous; I laughed out loud at almost every joke! I love the new characters they introduce from Sandy Cheeks\u2019 family. Their costumes are very creative.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eFncGdLecMg?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-12414 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/SavingBikini.d.jpg?resize=219%2C123&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"219\" height=\"123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/SavingBikini.d.jpg?resize=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/SavingBikini.d.jpg?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 219px) 100vw, 219px\" \/>The storyline follows Sandy Cheeks (Carolyn Lawrence) and her friend SpongeBob (Tom Kenny) while they go on an adventure in Galveston, Texas to save their home, Bikini Bottom, and all their friends. An evil scientist (Wanda Sykes) captures their ocean companions including Squidward (Roger Bumpass) and Patrick Star (Bill Fagerbakke) to clone them and sell them as pets. Sandy Cheeks and SpongeBob face many obstacles such as rattlesnakes and dogs while they rescue their friends.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VmN8cHB9Qc8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-12418\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/SavingBikini.a.jpg?resize=220%2C116&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/SavingBikini.a.jpg?resize=300%2C158&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/SavingBikini.a.jpg?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This film brings all the laughs! Being from south Texas, myself, I found it hilarious how Galveston is portrayed. It looks like there is sand, rattlesnakes, rolling hills and cacti everywhere which is not quite the case.\u00a0 I also found it funny how the scientists wear cowboy hats and boots instead of normal lab coats. Every Texas stereotype is used, including their language. You hear, \u201cI reckon and Dagnamit,\u201d and everyone is riding a horse.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12417 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/SavingBikini.b.jpg?resize=220%2C124&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/SavingBikini.b.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/SavingBikini.b.jpg?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px\" \/>Sandy Cheeks shows her love for her hometown in a big way.\u00a0 I love how they introduce Sandy Cheeks&#8217; family. I did not expect a secret whistle to call everyone together. I also enjoy how Sandy Cheek\u2019s family supports what Sandy wants to do since she doesn\u2019t want to be in the circus and continue in the family business.<\/p>\n<p>The film\u2019s messages are about using teamwork to accomplish important tasks and a reminder that sometimes your friends are a part of your family.<\/p>\n<p>I give <em>Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie <\/em>4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 12. This film releases on Netflix Aug 2, 2024.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/q4llvsWwjoo?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Bikini Bottom and all its denizens are suddenly scooped out of the ocean, Sandy Cheeks and SpongeBob SquarePants journey to Texas where they meet Sandy&#8217;s family and must save Bikini Bottom from the hands of an evil CEO.<\/p>\n<p>KIDS FIRST!
