Nickelodeon Brings ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ 25th Anniversary Celebration to San Diego Comic-Con

Nickelodeon will commemorate 25 years of “SpongeBob SquarePants” at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con with an “immersive, larger-than-life tribute to the original pilot episode.” The media company’s massive 1,800 square foot booth will drop fans into the “Help Wanted” episode by way of 3D animation and AR and will include replicas of SpongeBob’s home, the Krusty Krab, and Barg’N-Mart.

Fans will also enjoy an interactive slow-motion video inside SpongeBob’s home that will give the opportunity to “virtually pump weights to prepare for the big job interview,” a photo opportunity inside the Krusty Krab Mast, a game inside the Krusty Krab that gives fans the experience of feeding hungry anchovies, a Barg’N-Mart shopping area, character appearances, and autograph signings with the show’s cast and crew as well as with the hosts of the “Avatar: Braving the Elements” podcast.
