Who lives in a pineapple under the sea and has six Blu-ray releases coming out today? Scream it with me: “SpongeBob SquarePants!!!”
We know SpongeBob is an icon and all that, but why are there six Blu-rays for The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water? These aren’t separate covers for SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, Mr. Krabs, Sandy, and Plankton. There’s a Blu-ray Combo Pack, the Blu-ray 3D Combo Pack, and four retailer-specific versions.
Those four extra versions are exclusive to each respective retailer, with each one packing in a little something extra that’s separate from the actual discs. All of the special goodies are only available with a purchase of the Blu-ray. If you don’t have a Blu-ray player, there’s also a single-disc DVD out today as well. However, the Blu-ray also includes multiple special features. Besides the actual Blu-ray disc, a standard-def DVD, the Digital Copy, and the UltraViolet Digital Copy, there are over an hour’s worth of extras, including:
- On the Surface
- SpongeBob SquarePants: Out of His World
- When I Grow Up, I Want to Make Funny Sounds
- Becoming Burger Beard
- Making the Burger Mobile Chase Sequence
- It’s Hip to Be SquarePants
- A Day in the Life of a Sponge
- Underwater Awesomeness
- Plankton Rules the World!
- Bikini Bottom Confidential: Rock Stars of the Sea
- International Sponge of Mystery: Meet Bubbles

- Teamwork

- “Squeeze Me” Music Video by N.E.R.D.
- Deleted/Extended/Alternate/Test Scenes
The 3D version of the Blu-ray has all of the same special features listed above, but adds in a 3D version of the film and a 3D-enhanced version of the “Thank Gosh It’s Monday” deleted scene.
Want to know which version you’ll want to buy? (Because you know you’re going to want to buy one of them.) My son and I got to unbox all six versions being released today. Check out the goods in our video below. Are you ready, kids? I can’t hear you…
