Spongebob Musical: 'Bikini Bottom Day' Animatic

Ever since this musical premiered this has been a song, I’ve had on my list that I’ve wanted to make an animatic of. Especially ever since the creator (Stephen Hillenburg) passed away. Ultimately the main reason I wanted to make this video was because like many people SpongeBob was a core part of my childhood and one of the many reasons, I want to pursue a career in animation.

There were times where I wanted to start up this project. Like the opening shot and Sandy’s reveal were done over the pandemic. But it wasn’t until @Shnikkles gave me advice when she was working on her “Nerdy Prudes Must Die” animatic, that if you want to make something, just go make it. So, I did.

I believe it paid off in the end. This animatic was an absolute blast from beginning to end to work on and a few tears were shed while working on the final shot. So, I hope you enjoy my 7-minute love letter to a show and its crew members Both new and old.

If only Nickelodeon would make an animated movie version of this musical. Now, THAT'S a SpongeBob movie I'd LOVE to see

[QuinncyDaCat]

i say we NEED A ANIMATED VERSION OF THE MUSICAL!!!

[Kevykev]

That ending actually made me emotional
this is an incredibly well done
animatic with fluid movement and
creative visuals that make it even better

[AnwarTate]

Imagine if the SpongeBob musical was animated just like this this is so cool

[Victoria-nku]

WOW. You understood the assignment and have clearly watched a lot of SpongeBob. The details and choices are just so ridiculously true to the show. You need to storyboard for them 😭

[lou_revived]

this is actually INSANE. the patience and skill and time that it took to do this is crazy, it looks like something that would actually be seen in the show. every little detail was so "spongebob", you rocked that

[tysonstoons]

I really liked when SpongeBob did that Vox dance move when he entered out the door 🎉😂

[ACUltra]

0:52 he did the "the most important meal of the day" dance im dead 😂😂😂

I loved the Bryce version of the animatic, but you were extra creative in not just throwing in sound-effects but incorporating the chorus for stuff like the bubble for "what rhymes with rock" and all of Squidward's self-portraits yelling "IDIOTS in STEREO". You had a lot of fun with this, I can tell, and I greatly appreciate your work on this.

This is the perfect example of squash and stretch animation in SpongeBob, not to extreme, but just right. I love the animation, great job 👏 👏 👏 😊😊😊

[danielwilson]

i love the little details you include, such as patrick's chest slipping, fred's leg already being broken and the various chorus forms.

[ACatwithNoHat]

I love how imaginative you went for the scenes. Like the painting of Squidward to justify the chorus, or the hyperrealistic squirrel to present Sandy.But the change of rythm corresponding on the animation on the blueprint is the cherry on the cake

[AsakundwiSiphoro]

2:42 I love how the paintings became a choir. It scared me lol.

This is awesome could you do more SpongeBob: The Musical.

[thesmgshow]

You did a fantastic job on the animatic and Stephen and Peter Bennett are proud of you 👍🏽 ❤

[mattman]

My god i remember when the musical first came out and i would watch all the animatics i could find of it

This is definitely the best bikini bottom day one I’ve seen

[LetmethinkStudios]

This and Laifale's best day ever animatic are my favorite " Spongebob musical but in the cartoon style" animatics. Both full of expressions and love for the series.

[Neyebureturns]

You did an amazing work. The homage to Stephen Hillenburg was a great ending.
Now I want that the show adapt the musical.

[ltzJoJo]

This is amazing!! I understood every reference! I was smiling throughout the entire video. Stephen would have loved this! I love this! I grew up on SpongeBob and recently had the honor of playing Patrick in the musical. This is art, and I mean it!! All that time was very much worth it. Absolutely awesome. 10/10. No notes.

SpongeBob SquarePants was my favorite show growing up. You really get a good job with this Video.. Happy Anniversary, 25th SpongeBob, squarepants.

I started crying at the end while watching this..This was so beautiful to watch
