LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The peaceful life of Bikini Bottoms is under threat as a wicked CEO, Sue Nahmee (Wanda Sykes), scoops up the whole city, locking the citizens within in Netflix's latest 'Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie’.

But do not fear; our favorite squirrel Sandy Cheeks (Carolyn Lawrence) and SpongeBob SquarePants (Tom Kenny) take it upon themselves to rescue the city before it is too late, and so begins an enthralling journey where Sandy's scientific knowledge takes center stage.

Sandy and SpongeBob eventually find Bikini Bottom in Texas. However, while they are attempting to save their city, evil Nahmee steps in, causing chaos as SpongeBob is broken up into many little replicas and Sandy is forced to run on the wheel.

Encouraged by SpongeBob's inspiring of Bikini Bottom being her family, Sandy ultimately finds her strength and defeats Sue.

In a hilarious turn of events, Namhee's head gets devoured by a fish, and her artificial armour is broken.

Ultimately, she finds herself with her head trapped in the fish's mouth, fulfilling her desire to become a fish and celebrating it as a scientific achievement.

Conversely, Mr Krabs (Clancy Brown) surmises that they can reconstitute Little SpongeBob into the original one if they mix him together.

Everyone started combining the little spongebobs together, and they eventually succeeded. However, another issue develops when the glass ball that houses Bikini Bottom and its people begins to leak, posing a danger to their existence.

Sandy chooses to emulate the rolling thunder ball approach and attempts to whistle but fails due to losing teeth in the fight, but SpongeBob picks up and whistles, welcoming Sandy's family.

The Cheeks family then attempts to roll the ball, but fails. Sandy, with the help of her family and friends, creates a makeshift wheel inside the glass ball to generate electricity.

The Cheeks family runs on the wheel, while SpongeBob and others run inside.

Fortunately, the concept works, and the created power propels the ball into space, prompting Sandy to warn everyone to proceed with caution.

Finally, Bikini Bottom settles in its original location and returns to its previous splendor. After a few days, the Cheeks Family Circus is planned, with SpongeBob walking roopes and the other family members demonstrating their abilities while advising not to attempt it at home.

The film concludes with Sandy performing a joyous song, which has the whole Biking Bottom singing and dancing together.
