Our take
Plankton: The Movie is a Netflix TV-Y7 animated musical spin-off. Plankton's marriage to his computer wife turns chaotic when she tries to destroy the world. Expect classic cartoon smacks, explosions, and mild name-calling without blood or mature themes
Uplifting themes
Themes of marriage, obsession, and forgiveness appear lightly Characters are comically flawed but reconcile
Story (may spoil tone)
Plankton's tangled love story with his sentient computer wife goes sideways when she takes a stand — and decides to destroy the world without him.

Talk after watching
- How do Plankton and Karen show teamwork even when they disagree?
- Cartoon villains often fail. What makes their relationship funny?
