KELSEY HARDING /

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? America’s favorite sponge, of course, who took his adventures underwater and on land in what was a splashy smorgasbord FLOOR of treasured throwbacks and satirical send-ups. The movie recaptured a lot of the charm that was present in early episodes but has dwindled over the years. It had a certain sweetness to the characters that had been missing from the show’s recent seasons. That’s likely because original show creator, Stephen Hillenburg, wrote the movie’s storyline. The animation was equally as amazing. The transitions between animation underwater and live-action on land were seamless. While we all anticipated the cartoon portion to be great since that is the show’s format, the live-action was equally fan- “The SpongeBob tastic.

I FULL certainly was not expecting it in a movie based on a show for kids. Whether or not this movie was suitable for kids is a little up in the air, as there were a few moments that could only be described as “trippy,” with obvious references to drug use. One example of this is when a group of the talking seagulls were dancing to the show’s famous theme song in what appeared to be a haze. They had red-rimmed eyes, a hint toward cottonmouth and psychedelic background imagery. That rendition of the theme song set the stage for a showdown between the seagulls and a magi- cal real-life dolphin named Bubbles (so trippy). They sang-sparred about the quality of the theme song in what was an obvious parody of You could tell that Epic Rap Battles on YouTube.

You could tell that the writers wanted this movie to speak to those who grew up with SpongeBob SquarePants. The parodies and the substance references were directed at those who would appreciate them, those who were young when SpongeBob started. Similar to how “Toy Story 3” reflected the changes that its original audience were going through, this movie takes that on in an edgier way. The fact that SpongeBob is maturing with his audience makes a great movie even more special.

Dukes claim 4th Red Bull Rivals event JMU claimed its third event title at Massanutten Resort for the fourth annual Red Bull Rivals ski and snowboard competition on Saturday night. The Dukes beat out second-place Virginia Tech, third-place University of Virginia and fourth-place Virginia Commonwealth University.

The event included two 30-minute jam sessions, with participants judged on creativity, style, difficulty and feature variety of their runs. JMU racked up 256 points, Virginia Tech had 219, U.Va. had 195 and VCU had 179. The scores from the individual runs were added up to decide the team scores.

There were 40 total participants this year, with 10 riders per school. Virginia Tech won last year’s event over JMU and U.Va.
