SpongeBob is an innocent, irrepressibly optimistic sponge with a knack for inadvertently annoying those around him. This compilation of eight SpongeBob SquarePants episodes explores some of the things that make SpongeBob SpongeBob--namely his square pants, his enthusiasm for pleasing others, and his inherent competitive instinct. The never-before-seen "To SquarePants or Not to SquarePants" finds SpongeBob struggling with his sense of self-identity when all his square pants accidentally shrink in the wash. Will his friends even recognize him in round pants or underpants? Befriending the cantankerous Squidward drives his every action in "Squid's Visit" and "Boating Buddies" while his obsession with pleasing his boss Mr. Krabs overrides his better judgment in "The Krabby Kronicle" and "The Slumber Party." SpongeBob's love and dedication to his job at the Krusty Krab becomes extreme in "The Splinter," but his fascination with all things silly sounds loud and clear in "Slide Whistle Stooges." Finally, "Grooming Gary" provides SpongeBob with a lesson in balancing his competitive instincts with his pet snail Gary's rights and happiness.
