At the time? They had *NO* idea how influential Spongebob would have on the world, and how long it would last. To this very day Spongebob is meme king to a lot of people.

I love Plankton's voice so much, of course every other voice too just incredible.

He has created a show that not only shaped all of our childhoods, but inspired a whole new generation of animators based on his life as a former marine biology teacher and artist with a creative passion for the arts and the sea. Thank you Steve for making this the best day ever. R.I.P. Stephen Hillenburg (August 21, 1961 - November 26, 2018) ♥️♥️🕊️🕊️😇😇🙏🙏🧽

Steve is a major contributing factor to the success of spongebob s1-s3, but I think the whole cast has so much sincerity and passion for creating art and animation that you don’t see with Nickelodeon nowadays. It’s so refreshing to see people who worked on the show act like normal people. I like to think Steve is the overall embodiment of that passion, being he is the mastermind behind spongebob, but this video definitely made me have the same sentiment for these people. I believe if the new Nickelodeon animators and writers had these kind of real people nowadays than just business executives trying to relate to the “younger folk” and using their past nostalgia to make up for their shitty present, it would be a lot better. You can’t succeed in a field like animation if you’re just in it for the money and not the passion imo

This and chowder are 2 of the greatest comedic animations

C. H. Greenblatt was one of the golden age SpongeBob storyboard artists/writers. He and Aaron Springer (cartoon genius) gave us the weirder (and in my opinion best) episodes like Krusty Krab Training Video, Survival of the Idiots, Band Geeks, etc. A lot of that early SpongeBob humor shines beautifully in Chowder and helped seal my love for it. As a 23 year old now watching the show that came out when I was 10, I appreciate so much that out of the entire show, there was only 5 episodes C. H. didn’t write on. THAT’S dedication right there. And yes, I did cry like a baby in the finale when Chowder is grown up and voiced by C. H. Greenblatt himself.

Without realizing it, I was smiling half of the time watching this. To get to see the team as real people who had faith that their hard work was going to pay off. I can relate as an adult, and It was honestly touching. I appreciate what they did. :)

It's cool how this show is made like any other cartoon would be made, and it's always neat to see the humble beginnings of something legendary like Spongebob.

Just from seeing every time Stephen moves, my heart hurts a bit & it's like "he must be protected"

I love the whole animation process of this show!!

Seeing the behind the scenes of my most beloved show just makes me want to bawl. Thanks to everyone who made it possible.

The coolest and most relaxing Behind the scenes ever! It's truly amazing to listen to and just watch the creativity fly! R.I.P Stephen thank you for making the best cartoon ever!

Feel like this video found me. Thank you.

Aaron Springer is a cartoon genius. Cue Springer drinking water

These 6 or 7 people made a cartoon that effected hundreds of millions of lives

I’ve come to the conclusion that this show wildly succeeded because of Steve’s dedication and passion for his characters and setting. The definition of a labor of love.

W show

Thanks for everything Stephen Hillenburg😢❤

Even though Stephen and the Nickelodeon executives knew that SpongeBob would be a massive success, I don’t think they knew HOW massive it would become. It’s culture at this point.

The tidal zone episodes of Spongebob Squarepants was named after Stephan's art work.
