Duo Set for SpongeBob SquarePants Documentary

Patrick Creadon and Christine O'Malley, the pair behind the documentaries Wordplay and I.O.U.S.A., will write, direct and produce a one-hour documentary about Nickelodeon's hit cartoon series SpongeBob SquarePants, which is celebrating 10 years on the air.

According to Variety, the spec will be shown across various MTV Networks platforms in July.

SpongeBob SquarePants has been the top-rated animated program among kids 2-11 for more than seven straight years. The show is seen in 171 markets in 25 languages, and it's the most widely distributed property in the history of MTV Networks.

Nick execs made the first official trip to Sundance in the net's 30-year history to announce the doc. They also staged a cast reading in Park City on Sunday with the show's voice talent.

No production date has been set.

    Ten YEARS? It feels like that show was just put on TV like TWO years ago. Anyway, I never really cared for the show, even when I was little. I was always a Cartoon Network kid, and enjoyed shows like "Dexter's Lab," "Courage the Cowardly Dog," "Samurai Jack," and "The Powerpuff Girls" (Shut up).

    I don't think this show really NEEDS a doc*mentary, but if they want to, then more power to them. The kiddies will be happy, I bet. LOLZ!

    Spongebob was awesome as a kid, but now I realize him and Patrick are more than just "pals" lol Still, the show deserves to be acknowledged for it's popularity and longevity. I didn't realize it's been on for 10 years. Go Spongebob!

    Too bad South Park will most likely be ending soon...kids today who will soon be weaned from Spongebob and glued to mature 'toonage won't get to experience it's greatness. They'll be hooked to Family Guy instead, and while that show's good, it's mediocre compared to South Park
