Bikini Bottom needs saving once more, but the first trailer for The Sandy Cheeks Movie shows SpongeBob isn't the hero this time

It’s almost been a good decade since SpongeBob mixed animation with live-action through 2015’s The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, but Netflix is here to change all that with the upcoming release of Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie.

There’s a new CG, live-action hybrid SpongeBob SquarePants film on the way, but this time everyone’s favourite southern squirrel is taking the lead.

With Sandy now on land, there’s also been a new reveal for the character: she’s actually a flying squirrel!
