Q: Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
A: We all have for the last 25 years!
More specifically, one humble little goofball we all know (and love), Mr.SpongeBob SquarePants.
This is the secret formula to the shows success.
We all grew up loving cartoony cartoons, and thats the kind of show we strive to create.
These stories are then passed to the Rough Storyboard artists, who are like each new episodes first directors.
They choose the funniest posing for acting and create the clearest setups to sell every story beat and gag.
Now its time for our actors to make the characters come alive in the recording booth.
And we get to repeat this whole process fifty-two times per season!
Were the first test audience for everything we make.
And in our cartoon laboratory, we constantly work hard to surprise each other with new stories and gags.
You know… that weird sound that SpongeBob is constantly making…
I can hear it now!
(finger wobbling an Adams apple) YaaHahahahahahahahaha!!!
