When Adam Changes (French: Adam change lentement, lit. "Adam Changes Slowly") is a Canadian animated comedy-drama feature film, directed by Joël Vaudreuil and released in 2023.[1] The film centres on Adam (Simon Lacroix), an impressionable teenager growing up in smalltown Quebec who has the unusual quirk that each time somebody makes a comment about his body, whether fair or unfair, his body actually changes to match the comment.

The voice cast also includes Noémie O'Farrell, Sophie Desmarais, Marc Beaupré, Isabelle Brouillette, Antoine Vézina, Julianne Côté, Fabien Cloutier, Alexis Lefebvre, Sophie Cadieux and Gaston Lepage.[2]
