Gawayn (Werewolf Transformation)

Welcome to the Halloween update! In the spirit of the holiday, this entry and the four below it are all about werewolves.
One thing I've discovered while working on this blog is that a lot of European cartoons are never aired in America, despite the low cost of dubbing. This is doubly frustrating because some of these shows have decent transformation scenes.
Gawayn, a comedic medieval fantasy cartoon, is a good example. In episode 20, a character is turned into a pig, while his friends are turned into pork-hungry wolves. Comments after the clip.



The scene is a nice surprise, since comedic cartoons usually feature instant transformations. But here they're played for mock horror and a bit more drawn out, especially in the lovingly storyboarded shots of the Asian character's feet, tail, and chest bursting through his clothes.

Hi, it's a nice cartoon
It aired in Latin America, I remember I watched it when I was a kid :)

After all the dramatic tf shots, the door opening and the tiny princess (if that's what she is) emerging already TF'd as a tiny wolf is a nifty gag... nice tailburst shot in there too

Yes, from what I remember she's a tiny Princess who was shrunk by spell or something like that. It is a pretty nifty gag, and her little yip yip sounds are quite funny too.

I don't know if it ever made it to america specifically but the show was at some point (officially or unofficially) dubbed in english. Here is a link I found to the full episode in english audio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3slh4GKgmRI&t=262s
