Robert Irwin voices SpongeBob movie character

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.
