Factual error: SpongeBob and Plankton are told to supervise the universe for Bubbles while he goes on a bathroom break. This results in Jupiter and Saturn colliding with each other. Saturn is depicted as much smaller in relation to Jupiter than it is in reality. Also, the effect of their collision is inaccurate since both planets are mainly made up of gas. (00:44:50)
The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water (2015)
1 factual error - chronological order
Directed by: Mike Mitchell, Paul Tibbitt
Starring: Antonio Banderas, Clancy Brown, Thomas F. Wilson, Eric Bauza, Tim Conway, Eddie Deezen
Continuity mistake: During the sequence of plankton about to steal the krabby patty formula, there's a ship in a bottle on Mr. Krabs desk. When SpongeBob arrives with a vacuum, it's gone.
Patrick Star: I can't think of a sweeter way to go.
Trivia: Most of the names on the check-out card in the book are actual fictional characters or real people, most being pirates. There's Davey Jones, Bluebeard, Blackbeard, Captain Kidd, and Frank Beard. Frank Beard is a member of ZZ Top and incidentally the only member without a beard. (00:03:35)
Question: Even though it claims to be the sequel to the first SpongeBob movie, there's no Krusty Krab 2 and Plankton is somehow out of prison and continues trying to steal the Krabby Patty secret formula. Is this movie one of those "prequel" episodes made after the first movie came out?

Answer: The first movie is actually set after the series finale of the show. This is because Stephen Hillenburg wanted the show to end at the Season 3 finale and for the first movie to conclude the series, but Nickelodeon disapproved, since the show was making them heaps of money. So the second movie is probably in line with the episodes after Season 3 and before the series finale. So no, it is probably not a prequel. If we look at it from a logical point of view, Plankton could have been released or escaped, and the Krusty Krab 2 could've closed. We don't know how far apart the episodes and movies are set in terms of time. The series has lots of inconsistencies anyway.
