The Munsters: Come Back, Little Googie (1965) (TV)

Synopsis [spoilers]: Eddie's friend Googie, a very nasty child who likes to play pranks on adults, comes to spend the day at the Munsters. Grandpa says he can transform a man into almost any animal, and Googie asks to be transformed into a rabbit. Herman and Grandpa put a big bedsheet betwween Googie and them while Grandpa says the magic words. When they look behind the sheet there is a chimpanzee there. They assume Googie has been transformed into a chimpanzee; they try to turn itback into a human but fail. In truth, it's all one of Googie's pranks: he bought a chimpanzee which he placed where he was and then fled. Grandpa and Herman go to Googie's parents and return the chimpanzee dressed as Googie ("it will be dark and he won't notice the difference until we are gone"). Googie reappears with Eddie at the Munsters'; Grandpa and Herman are relieved (Grandpa thinks his magic had a delayed effect); Googie's father returns the chimp to Lily; Grandpa and Herman pass out when they see it.

Saw it dubbed in Portuguese.
