==Synopsis==
===Act 1===
[[File:Saving Bikini Bottom The Sandy Cheeks Movie 048.png|thumb|Sandy and SpongeBob escaping the giant claw.]]
The film opens with Sandy stepping out of her [[Sandy Cheeks' treedome|treedome]], then singing [[My Name is Sandy Cheeks|a song about herself]]. She rides her robot horse, [[Sparky (Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie)|Sparky]], around [[Bikini Bottom|town]] while analyzing pieces of sea life for her marine biology career. She stops in front of [[Conch Street]], where SpongeBob comes out of [[SpongeBob SquarePants' house|his house]] to show her a [[Jellyfishing (hobby)|jellyfishing]] technique he has been practicing. Suddenly, a giant claw descends upon the town. Sandy takes SpongeBob to safety, but Sparky loses his back half. SpongeBob watches in horror as Patrick, Gary, and all his friends are lifted up out of the ocean. Sandy uses binoculars to see a logo for [[B.O.O.T.S.]], a lab based in [[Galveston]], [[Texas (state)|Texas]], which she works for.

As SpongeBob cries, Sandy contacts her fellow scientists at B.O.O.T.S., Kyle and Phoebe. However, the transmission reveals that her lab has now been affiliated with [[Gushing Falls Water Park]], [[Sea Pals]] toys, and is now managed by Sue Nahmee, with the message then being cut off. Sandy decides to go to Texas with SpongeBob to see what is really happening, and the two ride a thermal vent up to the surface. They take a ride on the wing of a passing plane until they pass over Galveston, at which point Sandy glides like a flying squirrel and brings SpongeBob to the ground.

Back in B.O.O.T.S., the Bikini Bottom citizens are frightened, realizing they are now trapped in a tank of water. Mr. Krabs goes out of the [[Krusty Krab]] to investigate and comes in contact with Phoebe, making him panic and tell the others what he has found. Phoebe and Kyle use the computer to ensure everyone is in the tank, only to be told that SpongeBob and Sandy are missing. Sue enters, with [[She Makes Waves|her own rap theme song]], and pampers her mutant pet fish, Fishy.

[[File:Saving Bikini Bottom The Sandy Cheeks Movie 354.png|thumb|The Cheeks family.]]
Meanwhile, SpongeBob and Sandy are ganged up on by a group of evil rattlesnakes. They try to fight them off, but when Sandy is poisoned, she realizes she needs to call for help. Using a special whistle, she summons [[Cheeks family|her family]], consisting of her mother, father, grandmother, brother Randy, and twins Rowdy and Rosie. The family use various circus tricks to defeat the snakes, and Ma cures Sandy of her poison. They prepare for a road trip, but Sandy explains to her family why she has come back to Texas.

===Act 2===
[[File:Saving Bikini Bottom The Sandy Cheeks Movie 422.png|thumb|SpongeBob and friends in the commercial for Sea Pals.]]
Sue explains to her employees the goal of her experiment: as a way to make fish a more popular pet, she is launching a [[Sea Pals]] toy line, with SpongeBob being the flagship of it. The phases are to feed the Bikini Bottomites paste to enable genetic modification, modify them to breathe on land, then clone and sell them. She orders Kyle and Phoebe to begin phase one, and find SpongeBob.

Later that night, SpongeBob hangs out with Randy, who helps him fix the Cheeks family car. Sandy reminisces on her days [[The Amazing Cheeks Circus|at the circus]], which she acted when she was younger while doing a waterski act. Over breakfast, Ma tells Sandy that they are okay with her not being in the circus as long as she stays in Texas, to Sandy's hesitation. However, SpongeBob and Randy soon arrive, lightening the mood.

[[File:Saving Bikini Bottom The Sandy Cheeks Movie 494.png|thumb|Plankton and Karen on top of the Chum Bucket.]]
Meanwhile, Plankton and Karen overhear that the Bikini Bottomites will be cloned. Karen points out that Plankton's own cloning machines have never worked, so Plankton is excited that he might finally be cloned successfully. The Bottomites eat the genetic modification paste. After this, Mr. Krabs, Patrick, and Squidward are put in tubes that modify them to breathe air. Plankton is disappointed that he was not chosen and walks back to the [[Chum Bucket]]. Squidward rejoices with [[Squidward Breathes|a song]], and a test with two children proves the popularity of Sea Pals.

The Cheeks family get back on the road, but they are chased by the police since Randy has loaded up stolen nuts in the van. They attempt to escape using a tornado, but are still followed. When they realize they are close to Galveston, Pa loads SpongeBob and Sandy in a cannon and fires them away. They land in Gushing Falls, where Sue's dog, [[Cuda]], chases them around as they search for the lab. They run from the dog, going through the sewers and winding up in the sink of the B.O.O.T.S laboratory. SpongeBob recognizes his friends and reunites with Gary, Mr. Krabs, Squidward, and Patrick.

===Act 3===
Kyle takes SpongeBob and prepares to clone him. Sandy confronts Sue, but she is picked up by her and locked in a cage. Giving a monologue, Sue reveals her lifelong affinity for fish, and how she always wanted to keep one as a pet. After her body was eaten by piranhas, she was forced to move her head onto a robot, revealing her true form. Sue reveals that Sandy's own research has allowed the Sea Pals plan to become a reality, saddening her and making her friends lose faith in her.

[[File:Saving Bikini Bottom The Sandy Cheeks Movie 740.png|thumb|SpongeBob gets cloned.]]
SpongeBob is put into the cloning machine and split into thousands of tinier versions of himself. Mr. Krabs distracts Sue, as her dog runs and tips over the machine. The tiny SpongeBobs run around the lab. One comes up to Sandy and gives her a pep talk, pointing out how much she matters to them and saying that they count her as family. Kyle and Phoebe, realizing that Sue has mistreated them, help Sandy escape by lining up her tank as she runs in her hamster wheel.

Sandy takes down Sue, knocking her robot head off her body. It flies into the mouth of Fishy, at which point she realizes she has technically become a fish herself, satisfying her. Squidward, Sandy, Krabs, and Patrick learn that the miniature SpongeBobs can be squished together to reassemble the real one. Sandy tells them they have to get Bikini Bottom back into the ocean, and she and SpongeBob realize they can get the Cheeks family to help. Sandy lost a tooth from the fight against Sue, leaving her unable to whistle, so SpongeBob does it instead.

[[File:Saving Bikini Bottom The Sandy Cheeks Movie 935.png|thumb|Bikini Bottom returns to its original spot.]]
When Sandy's family arrives, everyone teams up to build a device using Sparky's parts that will propel the tank containing Bikini Bottom back to the ocean. With the power of everyone running to charge it, an electrical blast launches it back into Bikini Bottom and the glass shatters, restoring everything. The Cheeks family move their circus underwater, holding a special show in the Krusty Krab. Sandy joins her family [[This Squirrel's Done Good|in a song]], doing circus acts as her friends watch in amazement. Kyle, Phoebe, and Cuda have been shrunken down their size to watch and given water suits, while Sue herself swims as a part of Fishy.

==Trivia==
===General===
*This movie is part of the [[SpongeBob 25]] campaign and is the fourth hybrid animated ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' movie.
*The film was originally set to be released on [[Paramount+]] only in the United States,<ref>[https://twitter.com/paramountplus/status/1493707479275827200 Paramount+ on Twitter]</ref> but was then moved to releasing it on Netflix.<ref>[https://media.netflix.com/en/only-on-netflix/81221340 ''Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie'' - Netflix Media Center]</ref>
**This makes the second ''SpongeBob'' film to be released on [[Netflix]], the first being ''[[The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run]]'', which was released on the service internationally (except in the United States, where it was released on Paramount+ instead). 
***This makes ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' the sixth Nicktoon to have a film released exclusively on Netflix after ''{{W|Rocko's Modern Life}}'', ''{{W|Invader Zim}}'', ''{{W|The Loud House}}'', ''{{W|Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles}}'', and ''{{W|The Casagrandes}}''.
**Prior to its release, the film was leaked in January 2024, as a video upload on Google Drive that was shared via Discord and {{W|Twitter}}.
[[File:Saving Bikini Bottom The Sandy Cheeks Movie 341.png|thumb|260px|The designs of the Cheeks family in CGI in this movie.]]
[[File:Sandy's Country Christmas 036.png|thumb|260px|The designs of the Cheeks family in stop-motion in "Sandy's Country Christmas."]]
*The designs of the Cheeks family in this film are later used in stop-motion in the [[season 14]] episode "[[Sandy's Country Christmas]]." However, in the episode, they are stop-motion instead of being animated in CGI in this movie.
**As well as this, the episode also had some references to this movie such as the Cheeks family whistle being reused when SpongeBob and Sandy are in the treedome and the police submarine coming for Randy when he sees Sandy, which is a reference to the police car chase scene in the movie.
[[File:Saving Bikini Bottom Credits.png|thumb|260px|The closing credits states that the copyright year for the film is in 2023 despite the movie releasing on Netflix on August 2, 2024.]]
*This film was originally set to release sometime in {{Time|2023}} but was delayed a year later for unknown reasons.
**The film was completed in 2023, hence the copyright year of 2023 in the closing credits.
*This is the first film [[April "Pinkie" Davis]] has ever worked on<ref>[https://twitter.com/PinkieToons/status/1651012634744094723 Pinkie on Twitter: "I'm so excited that..."]</ref> and Eliza Herndon's first movie production.<ref>[https://twitter.com/duck_twacy/status/1651329915227078657 Eliza Herndon on Twitter: "IT WOULD INDEED!!"]</ref>
*This is the second time [[Johnny Knoxville]] worked on the franchise after guest starring in the [[season 9]] episode "[[Extreme Spots]]" 12 years ago, where he did the voice of [[Johnny Krill]].
*This movie reveals that Sandy is a {{W|flying squirrel}}.
*This movie marks [[Grey DeLisle]]'s debut voicing in the {{SBSP}} series.
*This is the second Nickelodeon film to feature [[Wanda Sykes]], after ''{{W|Barnyard (film)|Barnyard}}''.
*This film is the last time that Luis Pérez Pons and Jürgen Kluckert voice {{Link|Mr. Krabs}} in the Latin American Spanish and German dubs, respectively, prior to their deaths in 2023.
**According to Luis Carreño, Luis Perez Pons recorded all of his dialogues before the latter passed away.
*This film is the last time that [[Taiki Matsuno]] voices SpongeBob in the Japanese dub before his death on June 26, 2024 from a right cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 56.
*This film marks the first fully detailed appearance of Sandy's home state of [[Texas (state)|Texas]] within the series.
[[File:Saving Bikini Bottom The Sandy Cheeks Movie 080.png|thumb|260px|The "My Leg!" reference.]]
*'''[[My leg! (running gag)|My leg!]]:''' Fred's legs are damaged by the Krusty Krab's clam sign twice, he gets trampled by people running for the free genetic modification paste, and his leg is injured during the circus performance.
*This is the first ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' movie where Patrick does not play a major role.
**This is the first ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' movie where Plankton and Karen do not play a major or supporting role.
*This is the first ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' movie not to feature SpongeBob's name.
[[File:Pearl in Saving Bikini Bottom.png|thumb|260px|Pearl as seen in this movie.]]
*Pearl appears in two scenes, but she does not have any separate lines. This marks the first time in the movie franchise that [[Lori Alan]] did not record lines for Pearl.
*This is the first film without the involvement of the series creator [[Stephen Hillenburg]] due to his death in {{Time|2018}}.
*Sandy's job is revealed to be that of a marine biologist just like Stephen Hillenburg.
**This also confirms a longtime theory of Sandy being a marine biologist.
*The music that plays at the start of the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ud6-SGnzH3k trailer of this movie] is titled "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rh8gMvzPw0 Morning Mood]."

===Episode references===
[[File:Saving Bikini Bottom The Sandy Cheeks Movie 066.png|thumb|260px|The reference to the spotlight gag from "[[Wormy]]."]]
*The stoplight gag from "[[Wormy]]" returns as the Bikini Bottomites panic while their city is picked up out of the ocean by a giant claw.
*Sandy's [[Tree Dome Enterprises Limited]] employment from "[[Chimps Ahoy]]" was in the Sequence 004 "BOOTS" Part 1 section's [[List of deleted and cut scenes#Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie|first]] [[Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie/production|draft]].<ref>https://x.com/JayLender1/status/1820633855080243298</ref>
[[File:Saving Bikini Bottom The Sandy Cheeks Movie 298.png|thumb|260px|Sandy's karate suit from "[[Karate Island]]."]]

*Patrick references the "Is mayonnaise an instrument?" line from "[[Band Geeks]]" when he says, "Is mayonnaise a wire?"
*Sandy's battle with [[Sue Nahmee]] is the same thing she does when fighting [[Robo-Sandy|her robot self]] in ''[[Battle for Bikini Bottom (home console)|Battle for Bikini Bottom]]'' and its [[Battle for Bikini Bottom: Rehydrated|remake]].
*The start of the credits uses the [[Sandy Cheeks Theme|Sandy Cheeks version]] of the [[SpongeBob SquarePants Theme Song|series theme song]], which was done for Patrick, Mr. Krabs, and Squidward in "[[Truth or Square]]."
*SpongeBob getting cloned references the scene of him multiplying in Patrick's dream in "[[Sleepy Time]]." Plankton has also previously made SpongeBob clones in "[[CopyBob DittoPants]]," and SpongeBob made many slices of himself in "[[Boss for a Day]]."
{{Clear}}

===Cultural references===
*SpongeBob makes a reference to video-on-demand streaming services, breaking the fourth Wall, though in Dutch dub however, it was replaced with "En alle lieve klanten bij de Krokante Krab... daar bak ik nooit meer krabburgers voor!" (''And all the customers at the Krusty Krab... I'll never make Krabby Patties there again!'').<ref>[https://x.com/Shamaboy11/status/1822350734874009643 SpongeBob's "video-on-demand streaming services" line being adapted to the customers of the Krusty Krab in Dutch.]</ref>
[[File:Saving Bikini Bottom The Sandy Cheeks Movie 387.png|thumb|260px|SpongeBob referencing ''The Human Centipede''.]]
*SpongeBob fears that B.O.O.T.S.'s evil experiment is to sew all his friends together, referencing ''{{W|The Human Centipede}}''.
*When Squidward is singing [[Squidward Breathes|his song]], he is alluding to the musical, ''{{W|Singin' in the Rain}}''.
*The {{W|Apple Inc.|Apple}} computer (actual computer brand) tells Kyle to stop cooking toaster pasties, which look like [[SpongeBob SquarePants Pop-Tarts|pop-tarts]].
{{Clear}}

===Errors===
*When Sandy and Sparky stop at SpongeBob's house, Bikini Bottom is missing from the background but later appears when the giant claw goes down into the ocean to scoop Bikini Bottom.
*The buildings in Bikini Bottom keep changing positions when it is seen in B.O.O.T.S such as when Mr. Krabs screams back to the Krusty Krab when Phoebe, the Conch Street houses are seen on the same street on the Krusty Krab and Chum Bucket but when Bikini Bottom returns to its original spot, those buildings are not anywhere near the Krusty Krab and Chum Bucket.
*When Karen said "Good, then maybe why don't you take out the garbage," she was voiced by [[Grey DeLisle]] instead of [[Jill Talley]].
[[File:Saving Bikini Bottom Error 2.png|thumb|260px|When SpongeBob sees Gary, he is as big as the Chum Bucket doors but when Patrick, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs see SpongeBob, SpongeBob size was changed.]]
*When Sandy and SpongeBob get to B.O.O.T.S, SpongeBob goes to Gary as Gary is near the Chum Bucket but when Patrick, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs see SpongeBob, SpongeBob is bigger than the Chum Bucket, which is a size error.
[[File:Saving Bikini Bottom Error 1.png|thumb|260px|Sandy and her family are underwater without any air helmets.]]
*When Bikini Bottom was returned to its original spot, Sandy and her family were seen underwater without any air helmets, and did not drown.
