      I think the Spongebob movie was a few years too late, like 5 years after the show premiered. By the time it came out, I had lost interest. South Park was great timing, though; only 2 years after it started, and afaik still holds the Guinness World Record for most swear words in an animated film.

        I feel like the SpongeBob movie releasing when it did probably helped the SpongeBob video game sales around that time. I recall SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom and The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie doing pretty well

        The original title was “South Park: All Hell Breaks Loose”, but the MPAA wasn’t comfortable releasing a movie with the word “hell” in it. So they renamed it as a subtle penis joke.
