What happens when the Crabby Patty secret formula goes missing? Spongebob gets a six-pack, that’s what.

In the Paramount Animation and Nickeoldeon Movies feature film, Spongebob and his best friends head outside of the ocean and onto land to retrieve the secret formula. No, this thief isn’t Plankton. It’s human burger chef/pirate, Burger-Beard. You might recognize his voice as that of Puss in Boots–Antonio Banderas stars in the live-action movie to be released in February 2015.

So, why is this awesome news besides the fact that it’s obviously awesome news? Spongebob, Patrick, Squidward, Mr. Krabs, and Sandy take on 3D animation to give them a more modern look.

Rounder, smoother lines update the characters so that they’re the same we know and love, just a little more high tech. Essentially, it’s the makeover we didn’t know the gang needed. I mean, remember the first time they left the water? Here’s a reminder:

So, yeah, they’ve come a long way. Plus, the new guys are 3D in a jump-out-of-the-screen way, not a something-you-scrub-your-dishes-with way. They’ve pulled out all the stops. And instead of getting attacked by seagulls, they turn into superheroes to battle Burger-Beard. Although, to be honest, we’re wondering what kind of powers these guys will have–playing clarinet badly doesn’t count as a superpower, does it? And, most importantly, how will they compare to Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy? I guess only time will tell.

Now I have only one question for you: Are. You. Ready? Because we are. Watch the trailer and get more info on the official website.
