BEFORE the iconic pineapple home and before the Krusty Krab, there was Kamp Koral. Follow 10-year-old SpongeBob SquarePants and his friends as they spend their summer holiday building underwater campfires, catching wild jellyfish, and swimming in Lake Yuckymuck at the craziest camp in the kelp forest.
Produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio, Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years is slated to premiere across Southeast Asia on March 28, airing weekdays at 5:30pm in Malaysia.
In the 13-episode CG-animated prequel series, SpongeBob meets Patrick, Sandy, Squidward, Plankton and Mr Krabs, where the new friends embark on all the joys of camp, including hunting for treasure, slaplining and more.
Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years is the first original spinoff of Nickelodeon’s iconic hit show SpongeBob SquarePants.
Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years features Tom Kenny (SpongeBob), Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick), Rodger Bumpass (Squidward), Clancy Brown (Mr. Krabs), Carolyn Lawrence (Sandy) and Mr. Lawrence (Plankton) reprising their iconic roles. Carlos Alazraqui (The Casagrandes) and Kate Higgins (Blaze and the Monster Machines) join as new characters Nobby and Narlene, narwhal siblings who live in the woods surrounding the camp.
In the sneak peek of the series premiere, 'The Jellyfish Kid,' a young SpongeBob is determined to catch his first jellyfish and his friends do whatever they can to help him.
3 pieces of trivia to fish out from the series
1) SpongeBob's path to becoming a fry cook
In the very first episode of the original SpongeBob SquarePants series, SpongeBob interviewed to be a fry cook at the Krusty Krab and he dazzled everyone by whipping up Krabby Patties at lightning speed. Was the lovable yellow sponge always a natural cook? What was the very first dish he cooked? 10-year-old SpongeBob reveals all in Kamp Koral.
2) Grumpy Squidward's origin story
“You find out how Squidward got to be so depressed, frustrated and underappreciated,” said the character's voice actor Rodger Bumpass in a previous interview. “They all start fairly child-like and naïve and enthusiastic. Then in Squidward’s case, he gets knocked down sequentially until he develops into that sourpuss that we know so well."
3) The inspiration behind Plankton's Chum Bucket
Everyone knows and loves Krabby Patties, the Krusty Krab's signature menu item, but who gave Plankton the idea to serve chum right across the street at the Chum Bucket? You'll have to watch and find out. – The Vibes, March 25, 2022
