The Pig and the Shrink is about accepting your friends and family for who they are, whether you agree with them or not. Tucker Harrison needed a science project idea fast. His idea was to study obesity in children, and his friend, Angelo Pighetti was the perfect test case. He was overweight and Tucker thought he would be much happier thinner and healthier. As the dieting experiment progressed, the desired outcome did not materialize, in fact, Angelo gained weight. Angelo was happy with himself and had no intention of changing. When the class bullies try to intimidate both Tucker and Angelo, they come together as friends to overcome them. In the end, Tucker realizes that being comfortable with one's self, respecting each other's viewpoints and standing up to bullies is worth more than a banquet full of mis-laid plans.
