Paramount Pictures Australia is excited to announce that Robert Irwin has been cast as the Australian voice of Kyle the Seagull in the upcoming film The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water.
In this all new adventure starring the world’s favourite sea-dwelling invertebrate, Robert takes on the character of Kyle the Seagull, a cheeky side-kick to fiendish pirate Burger Beard, played by Antonio Banderas.
The young conservationist commented on his involvement in the film: “I was so excited to be asked to play the role of Kyle because he’s such a fun, cute little character who always has something positive to say. SpongeBob is really great at getting kids excited to learn about all things under the sea in a really fun way so it’s great to be a part of the film and help spread his message of positivity.”
Director Paul Tibbit says, “It's everything you want in a movie. We've taken familiar characters and pushed them in completely new directions – it's a road movie, a superhero movie, and a post-apocalypse movie, and it's all in 3D."
The animated comedy will be released in Australian cinemas on April 2.
