The SpongeBob sequel will begin filming on Tybee Sept. 30 and in downtown Savannah Oct. 9. It's based on the popular cartoon from the Nickelodeon cable television channel, which follows a sea sponge who lives in a pineapple and has adventures with his friends Patrick, a starfish, and Sandy, a squirrel. SpongeBob is also employed at the restaurant the Krusty Krab, which is run by a crab named Mr. Krabs.
