You are literally staring at the best piece of TV animation ever made. Congratulations.

the movie is already out on bluray and the it's a spongebob christmas bluray had a few season 1 episodes in 1080p as well.

This literally just got re-released on DVD within the last year. Likely no blu-ray for a few more, if Nick even decides to do that.

In the case of season 1, the episodes were preliminarily done in 35mm film, then finalized and mastered on video. If the 35mm prints still exist in the nick vault, sure they could scan them in 4k or beyond, but then those elements later added on video capped at a 240i resoloution would need to be redone, which is probably too much time and effort for the company when they're already making enough money on transfers from a decade ago.

For seasons 2 and beyond, the animation was obviously done entirely digitally. This means if they held on the the source files, they could re render every episode in 1080p, but it's doubtful they'd be able the stretch the frame to 16:9, considering the animators finalized the animation in 4:3, so who knows what's finished in the outer part of the frame.

itunes has all of season 1 in 1080p and it's not just upscaled. they went back and scanned them in full hd. i'm sure there's a mega folder somewhere out there that has the episodes

Twenty fucking dollars though?

i weep for our children to know they think this is good animation

It'd be much appreciated if you could find a link

twenty is quite the standard for any digital tv series today that is animated. pray it's not 50 dollars like cartoon network's "seasons"
