Happy Birthday Stephen Hillenburg, your show serves as a great Era of long run animation history, now we must celebrate the 60th anniversary of a Birthday of a Celebration of a Cartoonist!!!
Hillenburg is one of the greatest people in the animation industry. Happy birthday Stephen. You bought joy to the world by creating one of the greatest cartoon characters of all time. A sponge who lives in a pineapple called Spongebob. We will miss you greatly
Yooo, I bet animation and Spongebob fans must be rejoicing at this discovery! It's wholesome, since it's almost like fhe new discoveries in the gaming community, like with the lost Gameboy Color add on, or hard evidence that Luigi was supposed to be in Super Mario 64
His work will never be forgotten, he made an iconic character become reality and brought joy to the characters and to the millions of fans all over the world. Rest in Peace Steve, Happy 60th Birthday 💙🙏
Before Mr. Hillenburg was an animator he was a marine biologist. He got to things he loved and made the world happy. I am happy and grateful to have lived in the same time as Stephen Hillenburg.
@@snowmanwithasnowplan Nope, I had the same thought process, I also thought they were talking about Plankton. However, I thought they meant Plankton in the first sentence and Hillenburg with the RIP
ℹ️ hope Stephen, is enjoying his life up in the skies & clouds this man created in my eyes one of the creative, wholesome & most familiar cartoons of all time.
Happy birthday Steve. Thank you for creating life to a yellow sponge that would change the world forever. 🥳🎉🎂 And we will miss you every single day. 🙏🏻🕊
I’m so glad this stuff is resurfacing while I miss the old era of spongebob I’m happy I can still find joy in the cartoon. Hillenburg is a 🐐. We miss you Steve 💛
If Plankton was born in 1961 according to his early license, that means he is currently about 60 years old. Which technically makes Mr. Krabs around 60 as well. So then...how old is Krabs'pirate captain father? 80? 90? Possibly 100?
Mr Krabs was born in the 40's I believe, at least according to the old episode. Then that would actually make Plankton younger than Mr. Krabs. Oh and I think Plankton would've been 38 years old by the time of his introduction.
7:50 "Creative, original thought is rare indeed - is is the stuff of genius." That was written in 1996/1997... And it's still a rare thought in 2024! F*CK!
This is so great to see finally unearthed the map and concept art everything honestly wonder if there is more concept art and more that we haven’t seen yet
I will never forget Stephen Hillenburg he created one of the most iconic cartoon characters ever Happy Birthday Steve and thank you for creating this character ❤️
What I liked most about SpongeBob is that he always tries to see the bright side of everything. The show shows that different kinds of people (sea life) are all living together. They might not always get along but it works. If we could all be like SpongeBob, The world would be a better place.
WELP this is interesting I miss SpongeBob it was in my childhood I remember the good old days 😕😔 But it is still around but.........it's a little annoying now but I still love it
Hey, I was just looking for a complete version of this a few weeks ago! Also, happy birthday Stephen Hillenburg! Your series has brought smiles to generations beyond and beyond! And to think you would be 60 today... Sorry to see you go.
Happy birthday, Mr Hillenburg. You’ve brought so many memories to people off all ages, and we will forever be grateful for it. What I’m trying to say is, Thank You!
Yes! I know I'm a little late saying this but happy belated birthday to Stephen Hillenburg!🎊🎉🎁💝🎇🎆 May he rest in peace. 🙏 You have created one of the best cartoons ever!
Sandy got married with Spongebob in an episode in a later season (before 6 pretty sure) and It was a joke gag flashback where the town thought It was a poor theater show booing It, so I'm not surprised Spongebob's earliest relationship was meant to be her
i love you so much stephen. you made such an amazing impact on the animation world and you’ll always be an inspiration! i’m sorry those spin offs happened either way but at least new generations can know your creations and fall in love with your show all over again, you will never be forgotten stephen and we all miss you so much, you’re an angel and wow you would’ve been 60! what a great milestone, i wish you were with us to see it and i wish you were there for spongebob’s 20 year anniversary but it’s alright, you couldn’t help the sickness and it took over, i love you stephen hillenburg. 🧽💛💙🤎🤍
Happy birthday 🎉 Stephen Hillenburg, thanks for building my childhood, I still watch it today, even post movie and post sequel seasons, I love them all 😌👍
My theory is that after the first three seasons and movie, the reason why the show has always had the pattern of being good and then bad is because of the absence of Steve starting in season 4, I feel like his lack of voice was obvious
You know, I've been shipping Spandy ever since I became a huge fan of the show (Even then, I remember the song from Ripped Pants feeling romantic, and that was even before I show actual interest in the show), and hoped with all the false hope and dreamed they would somehow end up together eventually, and the fact that they were supposed to be a couple really validate my childhood dream. Then again, I guess it's a good thing they're not an actual couple in the show, the show will never end and besides, it's much fun to speculate rather than seeing them as an actual couple, that's how it keeps my shipping fuel continuing ironically.
Its so weird to think that I was 8 years old when Spongebob came out. I still remember the day 1 premiere like it was yesterday, Late 90s early 2000s Nick was Peak Nickelodeon. Also another weird thing to think about I grew up on spongebob in the 2000s then theres kids who grew up on spongebob in the 2010s and now we have a 3rd generation growing up on Spongebob in the 2020s Man im getting old
2:28 That's because Spongebob was using the Reef Blower resulting the narrow sand shown below the bottom of the houses. Spin visual trails are shown below Squidward's house connected to Spongebob being blown away by his own Reef Blower.
SpongeBob originally had a crush on Sandy?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who knew the ship was going to happen long before people shipped these two?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤣🤣
I personally don't ship them but yeah. It would have been cuter with two sea sponges or two squirrels, but personally I think a squirrel and sea sponge is kinda weird. Ya know? I mean they probably didn't want people to look at it too deeply tho
Man, what a find! It's interesting to see just how different things were back then, in a time where SpongeBob was only an idea... And Stephen... happy birthday.
Happy birthday steven! We all love and miss you. You allowed so many people to have a happy childhood with a show you gave to the world.. We will never forget you!
That's so cool! (I'm actually writing my own weird Bible for my characters world/ stories; it's not as impressive as this😅) Edit: I bet a lot of SpongeBob x Sandy shippers are disappointed they didn't end up together.
SpongeBob is and always will be one of my most favorite cartoons on Nickelodeon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to Stephen Hillenburg!
Happy 60th, Stephen! Sadly, you didn’t go on to make more original works but that’s what made Spongebob so special in our hearts. If you were still alive you would’ve prevented Nick from making Kamp Koral and The Patrick Star Show since you have no plan for a spinoff. Other than the Paramount Plus commercials for the big game, it would be even better if Sweet Victory did play during halftime. I bet Sweet Victory was the only reason people watched Super Bowl 2019. The NFL probably had it coming when fans were expecting the aforementioned song to honor you the whole time. PS you’re a year younger than my aunt Patti
I like that this is now available to see!!! I was reading Stephen’s pitch for the classic jellyfishing episode and noticed something…it said squidward got hit a car, not falling off a cliff, interesting!!! That’s one of the best episodes!!!
Stephen Hillenburg would've turned 60 today. The amount of joy he gave to the world with SpongeBob should never be forgotten.

@ some one Haha so funny dark humor 😑
@@carmelchocolate5743 um, it's serious, not funny, he actually died
@@carmelchocolate5743 He IS dead.
Fun Fact: Help Wanted was originally meant to be another one of those unreleased pilots, but then Nickelodeon decided to air it as the first episode.
And what a great decision the latter turned out to be.
Thank god it didn't turn out like both pilots for The Backyardigans and the Blue's Clues Pilot, Blue Prints.
Hillenburg is one of the greatest people in the animation industry. Happy birthday Stephen. You bought joy to the world by creating one of the greatest cartoon characters of all time. A sponge who lives in a pineapple called Spongebob.
We will miss you greatly
I swear we’re getting more and more SB Lost media as the year goes on
Also Happy Birthday Stephen
Happy Birthday
ngl finding this lost media stuff is discovery & a dope way of curiosity broski.
@@CubeAtlantic faxs I didn't know this shit existed till now or sum thing. 😂
Wait his birthday is today??? It was also my birthday today damn
One thing I'd like to see is the Sponge Boy comics he wrote for his high school students. I think most are lost.
Gosh that section on “What makes Sponge Boy different” is a real tear jerker. There was so much real passion put into SpongeBob
7:51
I'm still curious why Stephen Hillenburg decided to have a squirrel in the show other than having a character named Sandy Cheeks that's underwater
I dunno, but having a land creature in a show that takes place underwater certainly is interesting!
Not sure why he chose a Squirrel, but what I do know is that Sandy was first introduced to be SpongeBob’s girlfriend
Yooo, I bet animation and Spongebob fans must be rejoicing at this discovery! It's wholesome, since it's almost like fhe new discoveries in the gaming community, like with the lost Gameboy Color add on, or hard evidence that Luigi was supposed to be in Super Mario 64
It's amazing seeing the basic concepts for some of the early episodes, some weren't even used until season 3!
Missing Identity was one of them. That episode was released during the near end of Season 3!
This just keep getting cooler and cooler! Its like treasure hunting!
Yes, I can’t wait to see the true lost episode.
It’s a bunch of cheap walk cycles

Imagine how depressing and sad the world would be without spongebob. Modern Cartoons wouldn’t be the same, Tom Kenny wouldn’t be known as much, wow
Anyone can make you happy but this Man created childhoods and gave out happiness, Thank you Steven 🥲
Spongebob deadass was one of my childhood shows growing up 🔥
Whoa this is a rare gem!
And wish I met Steven but yeah 😭 happy birthday
Oh hey carasmo I didn't expect you to be here
The pitch bible for SpongeBob was made in 1996 after Rocko’s modern life season 4 production ended and got cancelled
I will never forget Stephen Hillenburg he created one of the most iconic cartoon characters ever Happy Birthday Steve and thank you for creating this character ❤️
So what I'm getting from this is that originally SpongeBob was Sandy's simp. Nice
Happy birthday Stephen Hillenburg, R.I.P. and thank you for giving us this wonderful show

Hi Steve. Happy birthday, man. I hope you're enjoying your new life under the sea. We love you and miss you so very much. Godspeed.
What if SpongeBob and Sandy are in a relationship but the show just never brings it up?
hopefully it will be like that XD

Oh, also, THIS IS AWESOME!
Rest with the fish, steve
2:28 That's because Spongebob was using the Reef Blower resulting the narrow sand shown below the bottom of the houses.
Spin visual trails are shown below Squidward's house connected to Spongebob being blown away by his own Reef Blower.
OK so this confirms sandy was a love interest for spongebob.
Back then, Spongebob was unpredictable, but now its the same, Spongebob goes to krusty krab, does some weird thing and so-on and so-on.
Happy birthday Steve You gave us the best childhood ever
