The Spongebob Movie: Search for Squarepants

Mild, comic violence is featured, involving sword fights, hand-to-hand combat, energy blasts, and characters getting hit with arrows and cannonballs. Characters also fight various sea creatures and ghosts, which result in the occasional sight of severed limbs.

Characters encounter various fantastical creatures, villains and ghosts while traveling through an unfamiliar land, however these moments of threat are accompanied by reassuring outcomes. In another scene, those on a carnival ride are subjected to high speeds, explosions, electrocution, and a ring of fire, though they emerge unharmed.

There is comic wordplay and very mild bad language, including 'jerk' and 'butt'.

Mild rude humour and visual gags feature, including a character's buttocks being briefly seen, a hook lodging in a person's backside, and an eye patch being fashioned as underwear. In other scenes, a pair of used briefs are thrown onto a person's face, there is toilet humour, kissing scenes, and a robot makes comments about its own attractiveness.
