Nickelodeon has given a 13-episode series order to Kamp Koral (working title), a spinoff of the network’s signature series SpongeBob SquarePants. While the mothership is a classic 2D cartoon, the off-shoot will be a CG-animated series, which serves as a prequel to SpongeBob. It introduces 10-year-old SpongeBob SquarePants during his summer at sleepaway camp.

Earlier this year, Nickelodeon, under new president Brian Robbins, announced that it is developing for the first time ever spinoff projects for SpongeBob SquarePants characters. Kamp Koral marks the first such project to get a green light. It is slated to begin production in June at Nickelodeon’s facilities in Burbank.

In the series, SpongeBob and his pals spend the summer building underwater campfires, catching wild jellyfish, and swimming in Lake Yuckymuck at the craziest camp in the kelp forest, Kamp Koral. SpongeBob SquarePants‘ Marc Ceccarelli and Vincent Waller co-executive produce the prequel.

This is the first of the spin-off series to be announced.

Sounds anti-Old Man Patrick quality. Depressed Luigi/10

I see Nickelodeon are continuing their trend of turning every cgi film they made that wasn't Rango into a tv show.

[Slippin' Freddy]

wow

 

okay so

 

this looks like horse shit

[dmandagiraffe]

I mean, I read it.

I wasn't super angry or anything. All I could think was "Why? Why does Nick want this camping s#!*%t to happen so much? Why is it necessary?" Ugh, I just wanna die...

[Steel Sponge]

The staff behind the film and for this spin-off series must feel very proud of this whole Kamp Koral idea that they have made originally for It's a Wonderful Sponge, considering that they're announcing a spin-off series based on this concept even before releasing a trailer for the third SpongeBob film. One thing's for sure though, this new spin-off series, whenever it comes out, will probably only feel like Nick's own version of Camp Lazlo.

The fact that Marc Ceccarelli and Vincent Waller are giving this their support speaks some lengths. And although while I can speak for everyone when I say that none of us have really asked for this, I am curious to see how this pans out.

Why couldnt we just have fanfic smh

While it didn’t turn out to be Planet Sheen 2.0, I still have a couple fears with this.

1. It could turn into a rip-off of Camp Lazlo, and steal some of its jokes.

2. SpongeBob relates to 10 year olds more than any demographic in his “adult” form, so aging him down to their level seems a bit odd.

3. I hope the CGi is at least remotely comparable to Sponge Out of Water, which seems unlikely since this is a TV show.

I just really don’t want this to be a step back in a technical department, or for the franchise. But at least since CGi is still more restrictive than 2D animation, at least the faces and movements won’t be as wacky...?

I’m disappointed Nickelodeon rejected my spinoff plot lines. And now they go for this? Truly disgusting.

Because Nick wants to milk Spongebob for all it's worth.

Exactly this. I really really did not want a CGI spin-off and "prequel" to SpongeBob SquarePants, but who knows? It might not even be half bad. If it pulls laughs out of me, I'll enjoy it and give it a pass. Same with the other...11? I think? Fuck.

nick I’m still waiting for Squnschpunsch 

this sounds so awful I’d rather take the above one as it could work better with the continuity more than this one can

It's not the concept of the spin-offs that I have a problem with. It's the fact the whole idea of the characters meeting at a summer camp was dumb from the beginning.

If the theme song isn't the Campfire Song Song I won't even bother watching it.

Paul Tibbitt spoke the truth on Twitter about this. Major respects. Doesn’t matter if you don’t like Post-Movie or not, he’s right.

That part about Steve is really sad, because it's true. I can't believe Nick would turn on his back the very moment he passed away.

Oh wait, yes I can
