"We couldn't be more excited to move forward on The Pumpkids Movie 2: The Patch of Destiny," Pixar Animation Studios president Jim Morris explained. "The script was written by a human this time and it's gold! The animators are being let out of their cages as we speak. The voice actors are lined up. I've got goosebumps. Honest to God Goosebumps! Look at my arms. Look at them!"
Picking up where the last movie left off, with Jack Pumpkin still learning the ins and outs of ruling Pumpkinland while also adjusting to life as a single adoptive father of the mysterious pumpkids after the tragic death of Lady Grumpkin. According to SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher, the new Pumpkids movie was a motivating factor in her efforts to bring the strike to a successful end. "I couldn't sleep knowing that I was at least partially to blame for this movie not being made. I'm not saying that I caved on anything because of it, but it was hard. Tonight I'm going to sleep like a kid. No, like a pumpkid!"
