• SpongeBob has worked at the Krusty Krab for at least 31 years. He is considered a child, as sponges can live up to five hundred years.
• The cartoon is dedicated to the memory of Jules Engel (1909-2003).
• Originally, it was intended that the film by Stephen Hillenburg (1961-2018) and Mark Osborne would conclude the eponymous series (1999-), but due to the film's success, the series was renewed for a fourth season. New episodes were filmed, set before the events of the film.
• To avoid straining the actor himself, a three-meter statue of David Hasselhoff was constructed for filming.
• The role of David Hasselhoff was written before the actor himself was even approached with an offer to participate in the project. He immediately agreed, without even reading the script – mainly at the request of his daughters.
• Scarlett Johansson agreed to the role in this project because she is a big fan of cartoons, particularly 'The Ren & Stimpy Show'.
• At the 70th minute, when SpongeBob and Patrick are racing into Bikini Bottom, a monument resembling the Roman Colosseum can be seen in the upper right corner of the frame.
• David Hasselhoff's role was written before the actor was even approached with an offer to participate in the project. He immediately agreed, without even reading the script – primarily at the request of his daughters.
