As her dreams manifest, Sandy will return home. Accompanied by SpongeBob and the gang, the film brings a never-before-seen twist as the beloved Sandy takes on a quest to save Bikini Bottom. Director Steven E. Gordon and the creators are pushing new limits for the cast as they venture to Texas, returning for the first time since 2010 when the cast saw Sandy in a rodeo in the iconic episode “Rodeo Daze.” We are thrilled to see the spotlight on this fan-favorite character in her scenery.
Sandy: ♪Wish I was back in Texas. The ocean's no place for a squirrel.♪ ♪Wish I was in Texas, prettiest place in the world oh no. I guess that deep in my heart, I'll always be a Texas girl. I wanna go hooooooooooooooome, home.♪

Created with a stunning animation style, including live-action shots, this updated depiction of SpongeBob should surely wow viewers. Although there is controversy regarding straying away from its original 2D animation style, viewers have a new concept to appreciate, giving a modern introduction for those new to SpongeBob while allowing fans to follow along with nostalgia.
At least Sandy Cheeks is getting promoted and getting a role she deserves. Sandy always have been in SpongeBob shadows, but now she can show herself for who she really is.
