Disney has thrilled all by going back to its traditional 2D roots and this appears in the form of the new movie "The Princess and the Frog". It's based off of the fairy tale "The Frog Prince", so transformations are to be expected. I'm listing what is known and a few things that are speculation (this might cause slight spoilers, be warned, though most of the certain ones are in the trailer).

1.) The prince (Naveen) is shown being turned into a frog by the witch doctor.

2.) Tiana is turned into a frog after kissing Naveen.

3.) Juju is turned into a dog, a pig, a cow and a goat.

4.) Tiana and Naveen both get turned back into humans at the end.

5.) Naveen's servant (named either Vincent or Lawrence, it's uncertain) apparently masquerades as Naveen for some time with the help of the witch doctor's charm. It's possible that they show the transformation of this. The servant also seems to reject the charm at the end of the movie, so it can be concluded that there's a tf of him turning back.

6.) There is an alligator who has a fondness for playing jazz on the trumpet and who follows the two human/frogs to the good voodoo priestess (who will turn them back). Judging by the fact that he sings a song called "When I'm Human", it can be taken that he wishes to be transformed into a human as well. If this is true, that would be another (note: it's uncertain about the alligator's exact condition, but it seems very unlikely that he was a human turned into an alligator. More likely is the fact that he's just a regular...jazz playing alligator that wants to be human...)

7.) It's possible that Tiana's father James is turned into a frog at some point. This is implied from a test audience review which says that James is turned into a frog. Some believe however that the reviewer mistook Naveen for James.

Check 1:01 to 1:03 for a small bit of Naveen being prepared for the spell and 2:13 for the spell starting. Also at 1:58-2:00 is a small clip of Naveen actually turning into the frog and 2:08 seems to show a small bit of the two turning human at the end.

No problem. I thought the series (the little of it I've seen) was pretty ridiculous as well. Apparently a slice of pizza to the face gets a body hot enough to turn into a car entirely, but a huge blast of ice to the front only makes him half car half human.

Not to mention the various sexual jokes brought up by the series.

Ha ha, too true! As they said in the MST3K spoof, he'd have made a good mascot.

Hey! I was looking around the site and I noticed that there was no section for the animated series Turbo Teen. Not too surprising, as the show was apparently short lived, but it was based on tf, so I thought I'd throw it out there.

Basically, the series is about a kid who turns into a car when he becomes warm and back to human form when he gets cool. This of course causes problems in his daily life, especially when he turns into a car in the house or something.

Anyway, someone on YouTube put up a bunch of clips of him turning to and from car form: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9jdbdXTgxQ&feature=PlayList&p=B3A6D00E46B1E599&index=3

Huh. The plot of the first thing you described sounds weirdly like the various Russian Fairy Tale adaptations I saw in my Russian Fairy Tale class last semester. It especially sounds similar to the film "Jack Frost", though that film was made in the 1960s. Definite fairy tale elements, though I can't say I've ever heard of it...
