These were those that started with the announcer asking, "What if a...had...and what if a...had...? Now what do you suppose would happen?" I can remember specifically:

-anteater becomes ant-eating giraffe
-elephant and mouse swapping (tiny elephant has thunderous footsteps, giant mouse creeps off)
-turtle with rabbit (turtle hops off, rabbit walks away slowly)
-frog with fly (small frog swallows giant fly)

Were there any others?

that's about all I can remember. Those were pretty good. Interesting that sounded like Maria doing the voice of the giraffe.

How about this one?

"What if a dog was blue and had feathers and two skinny legs and wings and a long feathery tail and a beak and tiny tiny ears?"

The transformed dog growls and then says, "I'd be a bird." Then a cat comes in and the bird dog barks and chases him away. "That chases cats!"

I always thought those animal transformation cartoons were scary when I was a kid, mainly because of the transformations as well as the creepy music and sound effects.
