"This Spongebob movie looks great because 5 episodes are from season 4. My only complaint is why they put The Great Snail Race in. It's already on Spongebob Goes Prihistoric. They need to put episodes like Reef Blower or Rock Bottom on here. Here are the list of episodes.
Where's Gary (double length) 9/10: Spongebob is too busy playing with his new Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy Ping-Pong that he forgot to feed Gary! Gary runs away and meets an old lady.
Skill Crane 10/10: Mr. Krabs gets a crane machine for the Krusty Krab to get money. Spongebob always wins but Squidward doesn't. Hilarious
Krabs vs. Plankton: 7/10 Spongebob and Mr. Krabs go to court. O.K.
Good Neighbor: I haven't seen this episode yet. I heard it was good.
The Lost Matress: 10/10: Mr. Krabs loses his matress so Spongebob and Squidward buy him a new one even though his old one was full of money.
The Great Snail Race 6/10: Spongebob enters Gary in a snail race against Squidward's snail, Snelly and Patricks rock. Spongebob trains Gary too hard and gets exhausted. During the race, Gary goes out of control and Snelly helps him. Patrick's rock wins! O.K. I guess"
Where the heck is Gary? I can't find him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Friday 11-11-2005 was the night when Gary runs away to an Old lady who thought he was her snail named Ms. Tufsley because Spongebob is too busy playing his Mermaid Man and Barnicalboy paddleball set to destroy the Dirty Bubble. Gary starves for TEN days straight because of Spongebob!!!
If you want to know the episodes, here you go:
Where's Gary? (double length)- Spongebob receives a Mermaid Man and Barnacleboy paddleball set to destroy the Dirty Bubble in a challenge. His only problem was that he forgot to feed Gary.
Lost Mattress- Mr. Crabs is always in pain with his lumpy old mattress. Spongebob, Patrick, and Squidward deside to purchase him a new one, but Mr. Krab's money was in the old mattress that they threw away.
Skill Crane- Mr. Krabs purchases a money making crane game filled with stuffed animals. Spongebob keeps on winning everytime, but not Squidward. Squidward gets so into the game that he uses his life savings to try to win.
The Great Snail Race- Squidward gets a snail to enter her into a race, so Spongebob enters Gary and Patrick enters a rock. Patrick ends up winning because Squidward's snail comforts Gary who lost control in the race.
Good Neighbor- Spongebob and Patrick try to be nice neighbors to Squidward by helping him. Squidward is still annoyed because they keep asking questions about his requests. Squidward is accidently sprayed in the face, so he can't see. He is taken away from people who saw how he looked.
Krabs vs Plankton- Plankton is always trying to steal the formula. When he walks into the Krusty Krab, he slips in water that was not dry. Plankton gets sent to the hospital and Mr. Krabs goes to court. He hired a lawyer that also slipped, so Spongebob ends up the lawyer by taking the other lawyers suitcase without the combination to open it!"
A collection of good shorts from the new season.

"My oldest sister says the fourth season of Spongebob sucks altogether. I wouldn't say that it fully sucks-it's just not as funny as the previous seasons. So here we have a decent collection of shorts from the beginning of the fourth season made shortly after the departure of creator Stephen Hillenburg:
Have You Seen This Snail?: For once, a double-length episode of Spongebob that's truly 30 minutes long and not marred half of the episode by the annoyance of Patchy the Pirate. However, this episode doesn't carry the comedic punch we'd expect, simply because it has more heart. Gary runs away after Spongebob rejects him from feeding him for the arrival of his new paddle-ball toy, and later finds a new home for an overtreating old lady. It's a good episode, by and large. 8/10
The Lost Mattress: Spongebob and Patrick find a new mattress to help Mr. Krabs' back, only to realize they threw away Krabs' old mattress carrying all of his money in it. Lots of funny dialogue, but the gags needed to come in at a better timing. 7/10
Krabs vs. Plankton: In another attempt to steal the Krabby Patty formula, Plankton slips on a puddle from Spongebob's mop and fails. So Plankton sues Krabs putting his life possessions and formula at stake. This episode has its moments, but a concept like this makes the episode too predictable; We all know who wins in the end. 5/10
Good Neighbors: Spongebob and Patrick ruin Squidward's day again by pronouncing him President of the Good Neighbors' club. A novelty episode with great gags, especially in the second half... 9/10
Skill Crane: The highlight of this DVD. Those who love cartoons focused on simple subjects like's Donald Duck's TROMBONE TROUBLE will appreciate this episode, because it focuses on Squidward trying to win a prize from a crane game. Loaded with hilarious gags. 10/10
In addition, you'll also get The Great Snail Race, even though it's also on the Spongebob Goes Prehistoric DVD. And that's it. This is a slightly shorter collection of shorts than the single-disc DVDs. It would've been nice to get a few more 4th season gems like Funny Pants or Patrick Smartpants. Still, a decent collection overall.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAAAA!!!"
Gary Had the Right Idea Running Away From These Episodes!

"NOTE: This may contain spoilers for "Skill Crane."
I swear to you, I really love Spongebob. However, these recent episodes lack the hilarious moments from the first three seasons. The only reason you should think about buying this DVD is for the Great Snail Race, which is a great episode.
Have You Seen This Snail?-There is nothing wrong with this episode, but it's just not as funny. On the other hand, the animation and background art are both very good, we see a lot of places that we haven't.
The Lost Mattress-I think this was the first Sponegbob episode that I ever hated. The gags are done wrong, the setup is predictable (Squidward says, "This time, I'm not gonna get hurt," so it's even more obvious than it was before!)
Krabs vs. Plankton-Eh, seemed rushed, and the jokes had bad pacing. Also, it was just not amsing.
Good Neighbor-Spongebob and Patrick ruin Squid's life. That's okay, it's part of the series. However, unlike hilarious episodes like "opposite day" where it's probably Squidward's fault in the first place, here they just do it out of stupidity! We find ourselves feeling bad for Squidward, which is not supposed to happen!
Skill Crane-(spoilers) This episode is actually funny up until Squidward gets a prize. He then becomes even more unlikable and goes so far as to taunt little kids! It also gets way too random at that point, with an ending that is not randomly funny (like the gorilla end of "I Had An Accident.") Here, it's just stupid.
The Great Snail Race-BEST EPISODE ON THIS DVD! Witty lines, good jokes, and it stars Gary. I cannot begin to rave about how good it is, especially in comparison of these other episodes."
