Spongebob Stop Motion????!!

OH. MY. GOSH.
A Spongebob stop motion animation? Finally~~
It already aired on CBS, but won't air on Nickelodeon until sometime in December.

I didn't know that:

• Work for this special started last October!
• Many pounds of Baking soda, glitter, and other materials helped create the setting of Bikini Bottom.
• The team had many struggles with this project and the team was made up of 30 members.

I thought this article was awesome! Stop-motion is one of my favorite types of animation to watch (Coraline for example), so I really love this article. Also, I thought this article was nostalgic in a way, considering Spongebob one of my favorite shows as a kid. Now, my two loves have had a beautiful, stop-motion, nostalgic baby <3 I can't wait to see this on NICKELODEON. AHEM.

My one question is how long did it take for the puppets to be made?
