Talk:A Day With SpongeBob SquarePants: The Movie (Rare Direct-to-DVD Release, Late 2011)/@comment-27545953-20160104192904/@comment-27487604-20160106190720

Hastings - I was only given the credits to look over, so I don't know anything specific about the film, but the original report that brought the illegal image usage to my attention stated that there were two scenes in which a background was used without permission. This background file is a painted representation of the Jellyfish Fields location, so I suppose some of the film was set there. Another of the files they illegally used was an unfinal "shock" version of the Squidward character that we had never officially released, so we were concerned over how they retrieved it. I'm unsure how they could have incorporated this image into the film anyway.

As for the Reagal Films employee names, I don't think they were in the credits. I recall the names included in the end credits being suspicious ones likely inspired by the SpongeBob characters, like "John Puff". These names were one of the reasons why we didn't file anything against Reagal, as we were unsure who the real producers were. When we attempted to inform them of our eventual decision, we used an address not assigned to any specific Reagal employee so that the entire company would know of it.
