“Plankton: The Movie” is an upcoming animated film from the “SpongeBob SquarePants” franchise, set to premiere on Netflix on March 7, 2025. The story centers on Sheldon J. Plankton, the diminutive antagonist of the series, whose latest scheme for world domination is thwarted when his sentient computer wife, Karen, decides to take matters into her own hands. Feeling underappreciated and frustrated with Plankton’s constant failures, Karen embarks on her own plan to conquer the world, leaving Plankton in a precarious position. To address this unexpected turn of events, Plankton is compelled to join forces with SpongeBob SquarePants and other familiar residents of Bikini Bottom. Together, they embark on a mission to stop Karen’s rogue plans, save their underwater home, and perhaps help Plankton rediscover the value of friendship and teamwork.
The film features voice performances from the original cast, including Mr. Lawrence as Plankton, Tom Kenny as SpongeBob, Bill Fagerbakke as Patrick Star, and Clancy Brown as Mr. Krabs. Additionally, it will feature original songs from notable musicians.
This release is part of the ongoing celebration of the franchise’s 25th anniversary, following other spin-offs like “Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie.” Fans can look forward to a blend of humor, adventure, and the signature charm that has made “SpongeBob SquarePants” a beloved series for over two decades.
