Theme: Animal Transformation

Animal Transformation refers to humans that have the ability to transform into animals. (Very occasionally we have accounts of animals that transform into humans). This is a common plot in fantasy works and fairytales where people can be transformed into animals against their will or as the result of a curse.

In horror, there is the popular theme of the werewolf, which gets its own page under Werewolf Films, although there are numerous works involving people transforming into panthers, snakes, flies and alligators, among others. In Mad Scientist Films, scientists are frequently transforming people into animal form or creating hybrids.

Another common usage is in Superhero Films where superheroes or super-villains can have a superpower that allows them to transform into animals.
