Trivia

This will be the second SpongeBob SquarePants production to be animated in CGI.
- It is also the very first to be fully produced in the format and to forfeit its 2D animation. It will be animated by Mikros Image which also worked on Sherlock Gnomes, another animated work by Paramount Pictures. Mikros is notorious for its 'cartoon-style' CG animation.
  - The animation is done in style of frame-by-frame 2D animation, previously implemented in movies, such as Netflix's Klaus, The Peanuts Movie, and Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse. This is a first for Mikros itself.
This will be the first SpongeBob movie to be released following the death of series' creator Stephen Hillenburg in 2018.
According to the original storyboards, this film was originally going to be a sci-fi adventure where cat invaders take over Bikini Bottom. It was also to be the first SpongeBob film to be shot in the 2.35:1 aspect ratio instead of the usual 1.85:1.
The film's title was changed from The SpongeBob Movie: It's a Wonderful Sponge to The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run on November 12, 2019.^[6]
- The film's original title was an homage to the 1946 film It's a Wonderful Life.
The first trailer of the film will be released on November 14, 2019.^[7]
A series based on the film, itself a prequel to both the previous films and the series, has been greenlit. Titled Kamp Koral, SpongeBob's Under Years, the announcement has already met with backlash from fans including former showrunner Paul Tibbitt.
Academy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer will compose the film's score. Zimmer has previously collaborated in Rango and various blockbuster films.
- Zimmer has previously worked on another film based on a popular animated television series, The Simpsons Movie.
This is the first animated film for Tim Hill as a director after previously working on many live-action/CGI hybrid family films. He was a former storyboard artist and writer, as well as one of the developers. Sponge on the Run marks his official return to the SpongeBob franchise.
- This will also feature the return of Aaron Springer, who lasted worked on SpongeBob in the season 8 finale, "Hello Bikini Bottom!," and former animator Edgar Larrazabal, who last worked on "Pre-Hibernation Week" in season 2.
Like the previous films, it will have live-action sequences, but now it will seemingly take place somewhere in a land area rather than at a beach as previously done.
This will be Snoop Dogg's third appearance in a Nickelodeon production, after the Big Time Rush episode "Big Time Christmas" and the Sanjay and Craig episode "Street Dogg".
The first film to use the Paramount Animation logo.
Tiffany Haddish has previously collaborated in three animated sequels in 2019, as well as the comedy films released by Paramount Players. This is her first animated film with Paramount, and to be released by the mainline Paramount Pictures.
Keanu Reeves has previously starred in another animated film, Toy Story 4, but in this film, he plays a live-action role.
This will be the first SpongeBob film to collaborate with Skywalker Sound, an Academy Award-winning sound studio. It previously collaborated in the SpongeBob short, The Endless Summer.
The film's flashback to when SpongeBob first met Gary as a child is very similar to how Shaggy met Scooby-Doo in Scoob!, another CG animated film based on a television cartoon, scheduled for release a month after Sponge On The Run.
- Conversely, both characters sound like an actual child rather than having their original voices high-pitched as in their original cartoons.
- Animator Tony Craig is working on the two films scheduled for release this same year.
Strangely, while being a SpongeBob film, it is the first theatrical film to be based on a Nicktoon since Sponge Out of Water in 2015 and the first in the 2020s.
