Ice Spice to join the voice cast of the upcoming SpongeBob movie with an original song
Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Animation have revealed an exciting new lineup of cast members for The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, slated to hit theaters in December. The star-studded ensemble includes Regina Hall, Sherry Cola, Arturo Castro, George Lopez, and the multi-platinum rapper Ice Spice, who will also contribute an original song to the movie's soundtrack. This marks a significant step in Ice Spice's entertainment career, building on her already impressive music success. The movie, directed by Derek Drymon with a screenplay by Pam Brady and Matt Lieberman, will follow SpongeBob SquarePants and his friends on an underwater adventure to face the ghost of the Flying Dutchman. Fans of the franchise will be delighted to see the return of the beloved original voice cast, including Tom Kenny as SpongeBob, Bill Fagerbakke as Patrick, Clancy Brown as Mr. Krabs, Rodger Bumpass as Squidward, Carolyn Lawrence as Sandy, and Mr. Lawrence as Plankton. Mark Hamill also reprises his role as the Flying Dutchman. Ice Spice's involvement in The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants comes full circle after the rapper's 2022 release, "Bikini Bottom," a track inspired by the animated series. Although it initially received some online teasing for its SpongeBob-like sound, the song went on to become one of her signature hits. The rapper has since gained substantial recognition with breakout songs like 'Munch (Feelin' U).' Now, Spice is adding her own flair to the SpongeBob franchise with a new original track for the upcoming film. The announcement was made at the Annecy International Animation Festival, where other upcoming Paramount and Nickelodeon projects, such as Smurfs and PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie, were also previewed. The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants is set for a December release, and it promises to bring a mix of nostalgic favorites and fresh talent to the big screen. This year, Ice Spice follows in the footsteps of Rihanna, who voices Smurfette in the Smurfs movie, and both artists are shaping a significant year for animated film soundtracks.
