* In ''{{WesternAnimation/Zootopia}}'', the "[[BrainwashedAndCrazy savage]]" animals are evocative of this trope, especially in the scene where Judy and Nick watch Manchas going savage. However since [[WorldOfFunnyAnimals all the characters are already anthropomorphic animals]], there is no physical transformation; but the victims lose their humanlike sapience, reverting to a four-legged primal stance (reminiscent of their non-anthropomorphic ancestors) and displaying extremely feral, [[AxCrazy aggressive]] behavior. [[spoiler:The cause of all these mental transformations turns out to be each victim having been individually drugged with a potent neurotoxin extracted from a rare flower, all as part of the BigBad's EvilPlan to cause chaos and mass hysteria in the film's eponymous city.]]
