Spongebob Squarepants has created television history by luring in and captivating children with his unusual setting as well as his unusual friends. This series which was created by an actual marine biologist and animation specialist Stephen Hillenburg centers around the main character Spongbob Squarepants as well as his friends and their adventures on the bottom of the ocean. They have dubbed their aquatic neighborhood Bikini Bottom. This series caused a media franchise to begin that heavily promotes all methods of marketing and media for this iconic sea sponge.
The basis of Spongebobs history lay heavily in creator Hillenburgs knowledge and study of marine biology. While teaching and studying at the Ocean Institute in California he decided to begin creating different forms of sea life with an eventual comic strip in mind. However as this passion grew he eventually left the Institute and became a full time animator in the year 1987. He later began to attend the California Institute of Arts in the year 1992.
Spongebob Squarepants made history with his first episode that debuted in the US in May of 1999. This show gained enormous popularity and quickly with the younger age group just entering school. Once the second episode launched it was a hit and the true media and marketing really began to target their audience. Experts say from the reaction and the loyal fan base to this show that we can expect it to be around at least another ten years or more. Spongebob has truly made his mark.
