DVD review: “SpongeBob’s Last Stand”
From Friday’s Weekend Look section of The Oklahoman.
“SpongeBob’s Last Stand”
Quirky sea critter SpongeBob SquarePants flashes back to the psychedelic ‘60s with his new DVD outing, “SpongeBob’s Last Stand.”
In the title adventure, the ever-optimistic sea sponge and his starfish pal Patrick are appalled to learn that Jellyfish Fields, the nature preserve where they enjoy their catch-and-release game jellyfishing, is going to be leveled to make room for a superhighway. So, SpongeBob grabs his sitar, Patrick dons his best multi-hued muumuu, and they stage a sit-in and sing a Beatles-esque protest anthem.
Despite their efforts, the interstate plows through Jellyfish Fields, with wild ramifications for their town of Bikini Bottom and the Krusty Krab, the restaurant where SpongeBob works.
The DVD also includes six more new episodes of the venerable animated series. Parents can relate to “Overbooked,” in which Spongebob desperately tries to juggle commitments to his boss and two different friends, and “Pet or Pests,” in which our wacky hero tries to find good homes for a litter of icky baby worms.
Spookiness and silliness both have their place in “Toy Store of Doom.” SpongeBob and Patrick plot to spend the night in a new toy store, only to find that the fanciful shop suddenly becomes a scary place when the lights go out.
For fervent fans who desire repeat or on-the-go viewings of SpongeBob’s “nautical nonsense,” “Last Stand” offers new undersea escapades to enjoy.
DVD features: “Bollywood Bob” Bollywood-style music video to an Indian-flavored version of the SpongeBob theme song, “How to Make SpongeBob SquarePants” craft lesson and karaoke music videos.
