* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'', the Fairy Godmother uses things and creatures she has on hand to outfit Cinderella for the ball. Accordingly, the horses still have teeth like mice, the coachman has a long horsey face, and the carriage is shaped like a pumpkin.

** Downplayed with Robyn, who has blonde hair as a human, but grey and white fur as a wolf, though she keeps her blue eyes. [[spoiler:It's the same case with her father Bill, who's also blond and blue-eyed; as a wolf he still has blue eyes and the fur around his face resembles his sideburns, but his fur is black and grey instead.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/CatwomanHunted:'' Approached from the other way with Barbara-Ann Minerva, who has pointy ears she doesn't bother trying to hide (and which no-one comments on). Those familiar with the character from the comics will know why quite a lot sooner than Catwoman does, when Barbara decides to [[HulkingOut deal with Catwoman herself]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}'':
** When Mater disguises himself as a Lemon tow truck in ''Cars 2'', he actually retains his hazel eyes (and yes, the opposite is true). And his body style when he decides to have fun with his disguises, such as a German SUV wearing lederhosen, a {{Dracula}}-esque hearse, a yellow drag racer, and a taco truck.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}'': Averted with Elinor, though she tries vainly to keep her regal posture in bear form and insists on wearing her coronet for a while.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie2TheSecondPart'': Whatever shape Queen Watevra Wa'Nabi is in, her face is usually recognizable (and her crown features somewhere on her person). Also, her color scheme tends to stay consistent, mostly composed of red, orange and yellow bricks. This double as a subtle foreshadowing, [[spoiler:since those are the colors of the heart Emmet created as a gift to the DUPLO aliens]].

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017'': As is usually the case in the main series, transformations leave the characters still easily recognizable. When the Mane Six turns into seaponies, they keep their faces and color schemes. The manes and tails become head frills and caudal fins, respectively, but still conserve their shape and color. The cutie marks still appear on a dorsal fin, and the winged ones have bigger lateral fins. Even small details are still reflected, like Applejack's freckles translating into shinier scales in spots. Same thing for Spike as a puffer fish, who keeps his eyes, mouth and color distribution.

Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'':
** Happens with all of Genie's transformations, which keep either the blue color scheme, or the facial features of Creator/RobinWilliams.
** Also, when Abu is turned into an elephant, he retains his hair, red vest, fez, and, strangely enough, his long tail.
** [[OneWingedAngel Snake]] [[ScaledUp Jafar]] at the end of the film keeps the RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver color scheme of his clothes.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animal Crackers|2017}}'': Whatever animal Owen becomes he always keeps his blue eyebrows.
* ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'': Lumiere & co. keep their general appearance while turned into {{Animate Inanimate Object}}s. The Beast keeps his blue eyes and hair color (with the former ultimately enabling Belle to recognize him when he reverts to his human form).
* ''WesternAnimation/BrotherBear'': When Kenai is transformed into a bear, if you look very closely, you can actually tell that his bear form has the exact same facial features as his original human form. Also, his fur is the same color as his clothing.
* ''WesternAnimation/CareBearsMovieIIANewGeneration'': [[BigBad Dark Heart]] has a [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience red motif]] no matter what he turns into; he spends most of the film looking like a human boy with [[EvilRedhead red hair]], [[RedEyesTakeWarning eyes]] and clothes. [[spoiler:His eyes turn [[InnocentBlueEyes blue]] when his HeelFaceTurn causes him to BecomeARealBoy]].
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}'':
** When Mater disguises himself as a Lemon tow truck in ''Cars 2'', he actually retains his hazel eyes (and yes, the opposite is true). And his body style when he decides to have fun with his disguises, such as a German SUV wearing lederhosen, a {{Dracula}}-esque hearse, a yellow drag racer, and a taco truck.
** And Rod "Torque" Redline's Gremlin disguise. Since his disguise is made up of a retractable metal shell instead of a voice-activated hologram projection, the only thing about him that doesn't change are his hubcaps.
* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTalesTheMovieTreasureOfTheLostLamp'': BigBad Merlock retains his mustache and goatee whenever he turns into (in order of appearance) [[FeatheredFiend an eagle,]] [[RodentsofUnusualSize a rat,]] [[BearsAreBadNews a bear,]] [[CatsAreMean a cougar,]] [[BigCreepyCrawlies a cockroach,]] and [[OneWingedAngel finally, a]] [[OurGryphonsAreDifferent gryphon.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove'':
** As a llama, Kuzco keeps his human hairstyle. The entire last bit of the movie has him retain both the black of his hair and the red of his old imperial garb across the animal kingdom.
** Similarly, [[spoiler:Yzma turns into a purple kitty, keeping up with her theme.]] To her chagrin, though, her voice becomes high-pitched and cute.
* ''WesternAnimation/HelpImAFish'': When transformed into fishes, Fly keeps his hat and a tuft of hair, Chuck keeps his glasses, and Stella keeps her skirt and [[GirlishPigtails pigtails]].
* ''Film/TheLastUnicorn'': The Unicorn has a white mane and purple eyes. She keeps these two aspects of herself when she's transformed into a woman.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie2TheSecondPart'': Whatever shape Queen Watevra Wa'Nabi is in, her face is usually recognizable (and her crown features somewhere on her person). Also, her color scheme tends to stay consistent, mostly composed of red, orange and yellow bricks. This double as a subtle foreshadowing, [[spoiler:since those are the colors of the heart Emmet created as a gift to the DUPLO aliens]].
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'': the [[VillainProtagonist eponymous alien]], no matter the form he uses, has big green eyes.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Moana}}'': Maui, a shapeshifting demigod, has a pattern of his hook on some part of his animal forms.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'':
** Both Twilight and Spike still look like themselves when turned into a human and a dog, respectively; Spike even mentions it. Twilight keeps the same hair style and skin color as her pony form, and her cutie mark is embroidered on her skirt. The same can be said of all the characters with pony equivalents, but here it isn't through shapechange but alternate-universe counterparts.
** Same thing in "[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsMagicalMovieNight Mirror Magic]]" when Starlight Glimmer crosses the the portal to the other world. Her human appearance shares many similarities with her true form, including skin and hair color(s) as well as hairstyle. This is such an accepted fact, in truth, that Sunset Shimmer can reasonably conclude she'd never seen Starlight's human counterpart in Canterlot yet, despite only having just met Starlight Glimmer in pony form at the moment.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017'': As is usually the case in the main series, transformations leave the characters still easily recognizable. When the Mane Six turns into seaponies, they keep their faces and color schemes. The manes and tails become head frills and caudal fins, respectively, but still conserve their shape and color. The cutie marks still appear on a dorsal fin, and the winged ones have bigger lateral fins. Even small details are still reflected, like Applejack's freckles translating into shinier scales in spots. Same thing for Spike as a puffer fish, who keeps his eyes, mouth and color distribution.
* ''WesternAnimation/PlaymobilTheMovie'': Since she wasn't touching a Playmobil figurine, [[ActionGirl Marla's]] Playmobil form looks like a stylized version of her as a human.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'':
** Naveen and Tiana's eyes stay the same after they're changed into frogs and [[spoiler:Lawrence]]'s eyes stay the same after he's changed into [[spoiler:Naveen.]]
** The various animals Mama Odie turns her snake Juju into keep the snake's coloration as well as his big pink eyes, green skin, forked tongue and his long tail.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfKells'': [[TheFairFolk Aisling]] is a white-haired girl with green eyes. This is reflected through [[{{Animorphism}} the animals she can shapeshift into]] (mainly a wolf, but the first few minutes of the film show that she can become a salmon and a deer as well) since they will always have white coloring and green eyes to show that it's her.
* ''WesternAnimation/Shrek2'': Shrek's [[HumanityEnsues human form]] retains his eye color and nose shape. [[spoiler:Harold keeps his eye color, crown and goatee in his frog form.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'': When Maleficent [[ScaledUp turns into a dragon]], she retains the black-and-purple color scheme of her wardrobe, along with the horns. Even if you hadn't seen the movie and were just shown stills of Maleficent as a fairy and as a dragon, it wouldn't be hard to tell they're the same character.
* Disney's ''WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone'':
** When Merlin and Arthur transform, Merlin retains the blue of his cloak, his glasses and his bushy moustache, while Arthur has the earth tones of his clothing and his page haircut.
** Madame Mim changes into animals who are fat, pink and have green eyes and purple hair. Even her dragon form has the eyes and the hair, but it's purple instead of pink [[LoopholeAbuse because the rules of the duel explicitly forbade "pink dragons"]].
* Ralph, the All-Purpose Animal and [[TheHero Male Lead]] of ''WesternAnimation/TwiceUponATime'', can shapeshift at will, but always has the same rather dorky face.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Wolfwalkers}}'':
** Mebh, who's a [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Wolfwalker]], keeps her red hair, green eyes and the dots under her eyes as a wolf. Mebh's mother Moll, who Mebh [[StrongFamilyResemblance strongly resembles]], also keeps these traits in her wolf form.
** Downplayed with Robyn, who has blonde hair as a human, but grey and white fur as a wolf, though she keeps her blue eyes. [[spoiler:It's the same case with her father Bill, who's also blond and blue-eyed; as a wolf he still has blue eyes and the fur around his face resembles his sideburns, but his fur is black and grey instead.]]
