BURBANK, Calif., July 10, 2024 -- Nickelodeon is commemorating 25 years of SpongeBob SquarePants with an immersive larger-than-life tribute to the original pilot episode, that sparked the global pop culture phenomenon, at Comic-Con International: San Diego 2024. Its 1,800 square-foot booth (#4113) on the convention center floor will re-create and transport fans into the "Help Wanted" episode with 3D-animation, augmented reality (AR) and replicas of SpongeBob's pineapple home, The Krusty Krab and the Barg'N-Mart.
