An aquatic adventure for all ages
When the citizens of Bikini Bottom discover that a volcano will soon erupt and destroy their humble home, SpongeBob and his friends must come together to save the fate of their undersea world. With lives hanging in the balance and all hope lost, a most unexpected hero rises up. The power of optimism really can save the world – especially when paired with a fun pop score by artists like Cyndi Lauper, John Legend, and David Bowie to name a few.
