Blurb for the latest sequel, directed by Derek Drymon: Desperate to be a big guy, SpongeBob sets out to prove his bravery to Mr. Krabs by following The Flying Dutchman — a mysterious swashbuckling ghost pirate — on a seafaring comedy-adventure that takes him to the deepest depths of the deep sea where no Sponge has gone before.
“If nautical nonsense be something you wish, then join AFI for the World Premiere of The SpongeBob Movie: Search for Squarepants,” said Bob Gazzale, AFI President and CEO. “SpongeBob is an American icon – absorbent and yellow and porous is he — and AFI is honored to host this celebration under the sea.”
The film features the voices of Tom Kenny, Clancy Brown, Rodger Bumpass, Bill Fagerbakke, Carolyn Lawrence, Mr. Lawrence, George Lopez, Isis “Ice Spice” Gaston, Arturo Castro, Sherry Cola with Regina Hall and Mark Hamill.
Making its Los Angeles debut with the feature is the new short film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Chrome Alone 2: Lost in New Jersey. From producers Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Jeff Rowe, and Ramsay McBean and directed by Kent Seki. When a mysterious toy company seeks to profit off the turtles’ new hero status, the brothers follow the clues to New Jersey and make a shocking discovery in this all new original short.
AFI Fest runs Oct. 22-26 at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.
As previously announced, Oscar-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro will serve as the Guest Artistic Director for this year’s festival, and the festival will open with Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere and will close with the World Premiere of Focus Features’ Song Sung Blue.
