A Werewolf Boy is a Korean romantic drama about a girl who befriends a feral orphan boy. On one level, the movie is porn for 14 year old girls, but with sentiment instead of sex. On the other hand, it's filmed and acted with much greater grace and sensitivity than something like Twilight. And Joong-ki Song gives a fine performance as the beastly title character, who is tamed like a dog.
Anyway, the werewolf boy does in fact turn into a werewolf--or rather a wolfman, and even then he doesn't look have a snout or any especially wolfy attributes. But the transformation is worth excerpting (I quite like the foot-to-paw CGI). I've rather crudely edited it together with a much briefer second TF from later on in the film.
Many thanks to our friend Mike for letting us know of the source material for this clip!

Ultimate Spider-Man (Lizard Transformation)
A kind reader named Ken gave us an excellent tip about some very recent transformations in the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon. The first episode of season two features Spidey's old nemesis the Lizard and treats us to a well animated transformation and reversion, with some nice fang and muscle growth (this version of the Lizard is quite butch). The episode can be seen here--the TF is at the 10:18 mark, and the reversion at 19:54. Thanks again Ken!
P.S. I should also note that the Spectacular Spider-Man from a few years back contained a superb (and skull-crunchingly visceral) lizard transformation. It's viewable at Stonegate Inc.--go here for the TF and here for the reversion.

Harey Podder: Say the Magic Word (Rabbit Transformation)
No points on guessing what Harey Podder: Say the Magic Word is a parody of! This is another very funny short by the very talented animator Stodoe.
And once again, we have the treat of looking through still frames of the transformation! Viewable here.

Everyday Hulk (Muscle Growth/Monster Transformation)
Our friend Makaio wrote in to recommend this very funny short film, which definitely deserves a post. It's a homemade, terrifically-rendered animation by a professional animator nicknamed Stodoe. Most of the animation made for the web is either Flash or 3-D, so kudos to someone so talented at creating traditional animation (which is the best kind!).
There's an additional treat in store for guys--still frames from Hulk's transformation! Take a look at them here.

Manzanita Sol (Evolution Transformation)
Manzanita Sol is a fruit-flavored soft drink sold in Spain or Latin America, and this amusing commercial features a fish so desperate for a gulp that he evolves out of his tank and into human form, turning into a half-dozen species along the way. It's bad science, since hardly any of the creatures he evolves into are human ancestors, but I wouldn't mind seeing more commercials of animals turning into naked men.
Dutchbull updates (and so will I!)
Hello all,
Just a quick note to let you know that I'll be updating the blog with four or five new entries within the next couple of hours, so stay tuned. In the meantime, why not check out the recent update at Dutchbull's site? He's managed to find even more clips from Mission Odyssey, which you might fondly remember from my last update, along with TF scenes from 17 other shows and movies, ranging from Hanuman: The Last Monkey Warrior to We're Back. And stay tuned for his next update, on April 24th.
