It was followed by a sequel, Child's Play 3, 9 months later. Plot Two years after the first film, the Play Pals Corporation, who produce the Good Guy doll line, is attempting to recover from the negative publicity surrounding the event. To reassure its stockholders that there was nothing actually wrong with the doll, they acquire Chucky's remains and reassemble him. During the process, a power surge fatally electrocutes one of the assembly line workers and reanimates Chucky. Mr. Sullivan, the CEO of the company, orders his assistant Mattson to dispose of the doll. Meanwhile, Andy Barclay, now eight years old, has been in foster care ever since his mother was institutionalized for backing up Andy's story about the killer doll. Andy goes to live with foster parents Phil and Joanne Simpson, who are also fostering Kyle, a cynical, street-smart teenage girl. Chucky discovers Andy's whereabouts by using Mattson's car phone to call Grace Poole, the manager of Andy's foster center, before suffocating Mattson with a plastic bag.
