Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Plankton: The Movie (2025)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Mr. Lawrence, the SpongeBob veteran who voices Plankton, conceived the film four or five years before release as a half-hour special called "Karen Takes Over", and it became a feature when he realized it suited the longer format.
- The entire film leaked online as a video upload in August 2024, months before its Netflix release, just as Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie had.
- Four vendors, ReDefine Animation, Mikros Animation, Yukfoo Animation and McBess Studios, made the animation, which mixes CGI, live-action and four styles of 2D animation; the further back a flashback sits, the older the style used.
