 The French version digitally changes the opening title cards for each episode  to read the episodes titles in French. Also, the opening sequence has been  slightly altered also: The scene where the words "SpongeBob SquarePants" are  spelled out in bubbles has been replaced with a floating bubble version of  SpongeBob before popping, on the board that changes colors, the face of  SpongeBob replaces the words SpongeBob SquarePants, the part where  SpongeBobs pants bounce around the shows title has been replaced with  scenery in Bikini Bottom, and the shows title is digitally altered to read  "Bob leponge." Despite these cosmetic changes, the show is very much the  same as its American counterpart.
