Theme song
This is a comparison of the different versions of the French intro.
Note: The French dub of the movie has a different theme song sung by the pirates, which has more rhymes and is more faithful to the English theme song.

Kids:Bob l'éponge carrée !
Captain:Qui compte bien y faire carrière ?
Kids:Bob l'éponge carrée !
Captain:Si vous avez un souhait, qui faut-il appeler ?

The episodes and intro are dubbed into the respective language.
The intro has some different animations that are also seen in the Korean (EBS version), Italian, European Spanish, and Welsh versions of the opening.
During its initial run on Télétoon when airing seasons 1 and 2, it was called Un bob à la Mer with the intro left undubbed minus the title screen and opening credits being localized.[3] But when the dub aired on TF1, the title screen was changed to Bob L'éponge along with the theme song being dubbed.[4]
Télétoon didn't use the second version of the intro until 2003 when they started airing season 3.
While dubbing season 6, the original dubbing studio (Studio SOFI) went bankrupt, and the dubbing of the show got moved to another dubbing studio (Dôme Productions.)
In this dub, SpongeBob's first name is "Bob", rather than "SpongeBob."
The different colored faces in the intro were used in the first SpongeBob promo.[5]
In Belgium, Nickelodeon Wallonia airs the HD episodes in 576i, as the channel lacks an HD feed.
In Nickelodeon France's feed, the Nicktoons logo is intact (in the earlier seasons.)
In the earlier seasons, the background characters had different voices throughout the episodes.
Seasons 1-7 used the Ad Lib font on the credits. Ad Lib is the font of the "American Dad" credits.
Errors
Before the HD intro, when Painty says "Oooooh...," one can see what looks like a microphone at the top of the screen that is not supposed to be there.
In some episodes, the intro's vocals are out of sync with the instrumental.
In "Truth or Square," at the end of the theme song, the screen is frozen in the middle of SpongeBob dancing, just to show the logo.
In the HD intro, before SpongeBob plays his nose flute, his irises are transparent.
In a lot of episodes, some crew members' names are misspelled.
In "Restraining SpongeBob", when Squidward is removing SpongeBob's name to write Patrick's name in the restraining order paper, a piece of the paper is seen in his head.
Also in the episode, Patrick's name is only seen in the restraining order paper when Squidward shows him it.
Renaud Durand was actually in seasons 1 and 2 but he was uncredited despite the french dub being localized, but in total he was in the french dub from seasons 1 to 6.
