Through a specially crafted rig designed to animate every part of SpongeBob independently, our team balanced traditional animation with advanced technology to give SpongeBob his signature lively and unique presence on screen. From hand-painted brush strokes that add a 2D animation feel to sketches and storyboards used to stay true to the show, the animation team brought an iconic character to the next level!
โจ Featuring the amazing talents of Jacques Daigle, Guillaume Dufief, Adrien Montero, and Liam Hill, this project earned Mikros Animation a VES Award nomination for Outstanding Animated Character, a testament to the expertise behind every frame.
