DVD Review: Spongebob Squarepants: 10 Happiest Moments

My family and I recently received the new animated Nickelodeon DVD, Spongebob Squarepants: 10 Happiest Moments, to review.


Spongebob Squarepants: 10 Happiest Moments contains ten different Spongebob Squarepants episodes taken from the course of the series: "Tea at the Treedome", "Mermaidman and Barnacle Boy", "Culture Shock", "Karate Choppers", "The Algae's Always Greener", "Just One Bite", "Graveyard Shift", "No Weenies Allowed", "Roller Cowards", and "Christmas Who?"

If you're a Spongebob fan, all of these titles should be already familiar to you, as this DVD contains no new episodes. In fact, if you own other titles from the series, you'll definitely notice duplicates - you might want to stay away from this one if you already own a bunch of Spongebob titles. The great part about this DVD though is that you can see the difference in the earlier Spongebob episodes from some of the newer ones in ways like how Spongebob is drawn, the jokes, etc - although, they don't quite seem to go in order of appearance on this DVD (though I may be wrong?). If this is your first Spongebob title, it's the perfect one to pick up.

The disc does contain a special feature bonus of the very first episode of Spongebob Squarepants: "Help Wanted" - where you'll see Spongebob getting his job at the Krusty Krab! It's a great episode if you have never seen it!

Spongebob Squarepants: 10 Happiest Moments is a full screen edition and hits the streets Tuesday, September 14th 2010. It's not rated - best for ages 5-7 and up (the usual slight cartoon violence, and sometimes questionable off the wall humor in most episodes, although it's not quite that obvious on this disc), and the total running time is 133 minutes. The suggested retail price is $14.99, though Amazon has it for $13.99 as of this posting.

You know the drill: I received a copy of this DVD to view and share my opinion of.
