Character Information
|
Plopper the Pig (aka Spider-Pig or Harry Plopper) is Homer's pet pig from The Simpsons Movie.
Role in the Movie
He is adopted by Homer after he sees him at Krusty Burger when he is about to be killed. Homer then plays Spider-Pig with him, making it seem like he is crawling on the ceiling to spoof Spider-Man and leaving pig tracks on the ceiling. Homer puts his droppings in a silo. He then renames him Harry Plopper to spoof Harry Potter. Homer drops his silo of droppings in Lake Springfield. 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 at 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 extended version of the final scene where you see Plopper helping out with the reconstruction. 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 breif cameo apperances in at least one other episode.
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.
