Spookley the Square Pumpkin is a 2004 film about a geometric Canadian
pumpkin, and is based on the book The Legend of Spookley the Square
Pumpkin by Joe Troiano. It was made by Holiday Hill Farm, and released
by Kidtoon Films and Lionsgate. Spookley's Favorite Halloween Songs
was released in 2012. Several Spookley the Square Pumpkin activity
books were also released. A sequel, Spookley and the Christmas
Kittens, was released in December 6, 2019 on Disney Junior.Two bats
who live at Holiday Hill Farm, bug-eating Boris and bug-loving
vegetarian Bella, discover an unusual sight in the pumpkin patch and
rush to inform the farm's scarecrow, Jack, of their find: a young,
innocent and square pumpkin, who identifies himself as Spookley. Jack
takes a liking to Spookley, but Little Tom, a small pumpkin attached
by a vine to the much larger Big Tom, immediately begins bullying
Spookley and says only round pumpkins are real pumpkins. Jack quickly
puts a stop to Little Tom's teasing.Jack organizes the pumpkins in the
patch to compete in the 'Jack-a-Lympics' contest, an athletic
competition ("not affiliated in any way, shape or form with... those
other games") designed to determine the "Pick of the Patch." Three
spiders, who show sympathy for Spookley, decide to help him in the
Jack-a-Lympics just so they can help themselves to the prize, a crown
made of candy corn. Throughout the competition, Big Tom and Little Tom
are repeatedly disqualified for using their vine to give them an
unfair advantage, leaving third-place finisher Bobo, a vain female
pumpkin, to win most of the events. Spookley turns out to be a total
failure at all the events, leaving him discouraged.As Bobo is crowned
the winner and the spiders abandon Spookley to help themselves to her
crown, a severe wind storm hits the pumpkin patch, pushing the
pumpkins all over and pinning Jack under a flaming tree branch.
Spookley, because he is square, does not roll away when the wind hits
him (unlike the other pumpkins) and, through some moments of
ingenuity, rescues Jack from being burned alive and his fellow
pumpkins from being washed away in the river. The other pumpkins show
gratitude for saving them.
