I guess I could request here. ^^; In Bartok the Magnificent, there's a part where the villainess, Ludmilla, drinks a potion to bring out her inner beauty, but it turns her into a dragon while she's singing and dancing, while not noticing till the end. I first noticed this years ago here on this site, only the sequence pics cause it wasn't available for download, and thought "Woah. Very nice." It got posted on Youtube, but one day I want to get it from here. Here's the Youtube link.

The potion brought out 10 times on the outside what was in the inside.'10' is
generally not a mystical number in fairytale dragon lore.'3' and '7' are.Though
I suppose 3+7= 10 might have been deliberate on the scriptwriters
part.
Far more interesting than Ludmilla's transformation is her interactions with the
prisoners in the dungeon whilst rearranging. Also note that her costume as the Regent has
its parallels on her dragon body. Even before she took the potion the 'dragon' inside her
had a way of expressing itself in her choice of jewelry and style of dress.
