- After Piggy eats all of the other piglets' food, they're all forced to go to bed without dinner because of their brother's gluttony.
- When the scientist captures Piggy, he goes from absolutely delighted to eat a buffet to horrified and then has a worried, fearful expression as he realizes he's trapped. He looks like he's on the verge of tears when the scientist begins gloating.
- Then there's Piggy during the force-feeding. On several occasions he's visibly frightened as he's hauled between food stations and this goes on for an entire day.
- The obese Piggy's desperate attempt to wobble to safety and escape from the scientist. Despite having really enjoyed all his eating, it's clear he recognizes that he has to go home, and tries to desperately flee back home to his mama. It doesn't work; the scientist left food for him to eat on his way out, and he explodes. He got so much happiness from food, and it ended up killing him. Piggy's cries as he wakes up in horror are pretty gut-wrenching too.
