The new SpongeBob movie: Sponge out of Water is already the second highest box office performer of 2015. The film uses a style of 3D CGI characters on live action backgrounds. The characters's 3D models had to be textured a special way to make their appearances stay as true to the 2D appearances as possible. To help with the live action filming, they had stand ins dressed in frameworks and props for the life sized characters. They also puppeteered maquettes for the smaller characters.
I was always a spongebob fan as a kid, I knew most of the episodes by heart, and knew all the references. And I enjoyed the first movie as well. CGI is a step that I don't believe SpongeBob had ever taken before, and as I look at these new visions of the simple cartoon characters, I can see that they did something right. I'm excited to see this movie, I know it's already out, but I haven't had an opportunity to see it yet. It looks amazing and I like that the article shows us the behind the scenes type shots and pictures.
