Susan Murphy (a.k.a. Ginormica) and the Monsters are now working with the U.S. Government as special ops. So when an alien presence is detected in Susan's hometown of Modesto, California, right before Halloween, the team is dispatched to investigate. Everything appears normal, right down to the jack-o-lanterns peering out from every doorstep and windowsill. But when Halloween arrives, those innocent-looking carved pumpkins reveal themselves for what they really are, mutant aliens. The altered pumpkins then start to implement their fiendish plan to take over Earth. The Monsters are there to combat the mutant gourds and try to smash their wicked scheme. —DreamWorks Animation

Trivia
Wicked Jack is obviously a play on Jack O'Lantern.

Goofs
As the alien spacecraft flies away from the pumpkin farm, there is an aerial view of farmer Jeb leaving his barn. In front of him, there is a cone of light from the lamp he is holding. But rather than a torch it is the type of lamp that throws the light out in all directions. So there would have been a pool of light around him as he came out the barn door.

Quotes
B.O.B.: Say, what do you think I should go as for Halloween? Bubble gum? Motza ball? Beach ball? Snow ball? Melted snowball? Solar system? Fat Elvis? Thank you, thank you very much.
[Insectosaurus roars]
B.O.B.: You as fat Elvis? Actually, I kinda see it. Try it, see how it goes.

Top review

Fun and festive

This film is about monsters saving the world by fighting mutant pumpkins that came from a UFO.

"Monsters vs Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space" is a fun short animation. The plot is very simple, as not much can be packed into 20 minutes anyway. It tells how people prepare for Halloween, and the plentiful Halloween themes and decorations make the short animation appear very festive. I have a feeling that it is geared towards very young children, judged by the abundance of candies and sweets. Which young child does not dream of being forcibly fed non stop by a candy cannon?
