* In ''[[Honey I Shrunk the Kids (Film)|Honey, I Shrunk the Kids]]'', Wayne tests the shrink ray on his neighbor Russell. After being brought back to normal, Russell finds that his baseball cap is a little big for him.

* The ending of ''[[Young Frankenstein]]'' -- after—after the procedure that stabilizes the "monster," the creature has inherited the mild manners of his creator. Frankenstein himself has inherited some...[[Biggus Dickus|interesting side effects]] if his assistant's reaction is any indication.

* ''[[James and Thethe Giant Peach]]'': At the end, even though James Henry Trotter was changed back to a live action boy after remaining stop-motion throughout a majority of the film, the insects that live inside the eponymous giant peach, however, actually stay huge and stop-motion animated.

** Justified: James was transformed when he accidentally swallowed one of the magical "crocodile tongues" that had similarly transformed the bugs (and caused the peach to grow). He reverts to live-action when he coughs up the tongue.

* ''[[Sinbad and Thethe Eye of Thethe Tiger]]'': The evil sorceress Zenobia doesn't have enough shapechanging potion to turn completely from seagull to human, so spends the rest of the film with one giant webbed bird's foot.

* In ''[[Animorphs (Literature)|Animorphs]]'', Tobias gets [[Shapeshifter Mode Lock|Shapeshifter Mode Locked]]ed as a hawk in the first book, and gradually [[The Mind Is a Plaything of Thethe Body|his body's predatory instincts begin to affect his personality]]. Much later, he gains the ability to temporarily turn into his former human form - but he still has the tendency to stare intensely at people like a hawk.

== Video Webcomics Games ==

* ''[[El Goonish Shive (Webcomic)|El Goonish Shive]]'' had a joke along these lines at the end of [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2003-04-03 the second April Fool's Week storyline]. And then again in [http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/?date=2004-03-06 a side comic storyline].

* In ''Grim And Evil'' episode 5 during the ''[[Evil Con Carne (Animation)|Evil Con Carne]]'' segments ''Devolver, Part 1'' and ''Devolver, Part 2'', General Skarr keeps devolving into different species due to accidentally being exposed to Major Dr. Ghastly's devolving ray. In the end, Ghastly and Hector manage to expose Skarr (who has become an amoeba by that time) to a re-evolution ray, turning him back to his normal self... {{spoiler|except he still has a monkey tail (though only Hector and Ghastly seem to notice it)}}.

* In ''[[The Emperor's New Groove (Disney)|The Emperors New Groove]]'' the villain, Yzma, is [[Baleful Polymorph|transformed into a kitten]] in the end. By the time of the sequel, she is human again, but still possesses a tail and some catlike behavior (which is an [[Actor Allusion]]; Eartha Kitt is best remembered for playing [[Batman (TV series)|Catwoman]])

* One [[Treehouse of Horror]] episode had Homer Simpson get turned into a bizarre chimera with a chicken's body. When homer turns back to normal at the end of the episode, it turns out that he still has the body of a chicken... ...and lays an egg.

* ''[[American Dragon: Jake Long]]'': In one episode, a soul-sucking nix sucked the souls of several students during a school dance. In the end, everything went back to normal. {{spoiler|Except that Trixie and Spud were now in each other's bodies. They were back to normal in the next episode but it's never revealed how they did it and it was never been brought up again. (note: It happened ''before'' they learned about Jake being a dragon)}}
