yeah sure go ahead
Not all of them. Besides, in a SpongeBob credits video I saw, it looks like Nicktoons UK still has a 4:3 feed, and yes, while 4:3 content fills the entire frame, 16:9 content gets squeezed into the 4:3 frame, and bumpers are cropped to 4:3.
@PinkPugPrincess, I imagined to myself about the SpongeBob animated in Adobe Flash/Animate as of Season 4 thing again, and I realized something. If they did animate SpongeBob with Adobe Flash as of Season 4, when the show went 16:9 in 2012, so long as they still had all of the original Adobe Animate/Flash files and assets, they would have been able to remaster all episodes Seasons 4-8 (including the shorts, the ‘SpongeBob SquarePants Special’ intro, the WhoBob WhatPants intro, and the It’s a SpongeBob Christmas! intro) into 16:9 HD Widescreen, South Park style, by re-rendering and extending the sides from all the shots from standard 4:3 to full 16:9, and also fixing every animation error that happened during those seasons (except Truth or Square and It’s a SpongeBob Christmas, as they would have been made in 16:9, but Truth or Square’s animation errors would be fixed, and then put the animation-fixed version into all 3 versions of said special (the 51 minute version for digital prints, the alternate TV version for TV airings, and the extended version for DVD releases of it after the fix), and because It’s a SpongeBob Christmas was made in stop-motion). I’m not sure about the Patchy scenes for Friend or Foe and Atlantis SquarePantis, if they actually filmed them more zoomed out, which were later edited to 4:3, so if was like that, then they would have been able to re-edit them into 16:9, and the exterior of Patchy’s house as well. This would leave Seasons 1, 2, and 3 as the only seasons in 4:3.
