Only two days to go until The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water hits UK cinemas! It’s been 11 years since the original movie and a lot has changed for Spongebob. So much so that Sponge Out of Water doesn’t just feature animation but breaks out into the real world too.
Tom Kenny and Bill Fagerbakke return has Spongebob and Patrick and are joined by a man not unfamiliar with voicing animated characters, Antonio Bandereas. Our interview with him will come later in the week.
Today we get to hear from Director Paul Tibbet who has previously worked as a writer and producer on the TV show. Keep your eyes peeled for more interviews coming soon.

In the interview we discuss:
- How he has made the transition from being a writer to producer to director
- What it was like directing animation, stop motion and live action
- Referencing modern day movies and adding cinematic ‘Easter Eggs’ into the movie (look out for Stanley Kubrick references!)
- Working with Antonio Banderas
