Plopper the Pig (aka Spider-Pig or Harry Plopper) is Homer's pet pig from The Simpsons Movie. http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff168/Zilla_88/HarryPlopper.gif

Role in the Movie

He is adopted by Homer after he sees him featured in a Krusty Burger commercial filmed live at one of Springfield's Krusty Burger locatons when he is about to be killed. Homer then plays with Spider-Pig, particularly making it seem like he is crawling on the ceiling to spoof Spider-Man and leaving pig tracks all over the place. Homer puts his droppings in a giant silo that reads "pig crap" in the back yard. He then renames him Harry Plopper to spoof Harry Potter. Homer drops his silo of droppings in Lake Springfield. This causes the lake's water to become mutagenic. This causes Springfield to get covered by a dome and an angry mob goes after the Simpsons.

Disappearance

When the Simpsons escape Springfield, Chief Wiggum shoots that the sinkhole The Simpsons escaped from and the house gets sucked by it and it is believed that Plopper possibly died. However, the release of the DVD shows an a slightly alternate ending, where Plopper helping out with the reconstruction of a Santa's Little Helper's doghouse, along with the Multi-eyed squirrel and SLH. In addition, he is in the couch gag in He Loves to Fly and He D'ohs- Homer cuddles him and refers to him as his "summer love". He has also made brief cameo apperances in the "Heck House" segment of "Treehouse of Horror 18," and later appears in canon in "All About Lisa," which insinuates that the events of The Simpsons Movie actually happened.

Popularity

The popularity of the Spider-Pig song gag which parodies the Spider-Man theme is arguably the most remembered and popular scene in the movie. It was featured on many trailers for the film. According to the writing staff, it was one of the latest additions to the film.

Other Appearances

In Treehouse of Horror XVIII, Plopper is dropped on Homer by Bart. He appears in the promotional image for Apocalypse Cow. He appears on the cover of Simpsons Comics #141 and made a brief appearance in All About Lisa.
