I may be really weird for thinking about this despite a lot of people throughout humanity thinking about it, but the ability to manipulate someone’s age, mentally and/or physically. I mean things like turning someone who is robbing me into a child who isn’t strong enough to hold the gun or making an absolute drama queen who peaked in high school have their body match their mental maturity.
Before anyone calls it weird, you name a major animated cartoon that aired on Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, or Disney and there’s a good chance they have what I consider the stock “age regression/progression” episode. For whatever reason those episodes really stuck with me considering I’m thinking about them to this day.
Despite not seeing that episode, I think I know which one you are talking about because of TV Tropes. I think they listed an episode plot under the fountain of youth trope page about the crew of whichever iteration of Star Trek being sent to an alternate dimension where time moves backwards. They may have had others as well listed, but I can’t remember since it’s been a while since I’ve checked that page.

Phil from the Future!! First thing that came to mind for me, lol. They had a piece of tech that could age you up or age you down, and the main character, Phil, was hit by it. Turned into a total kid. One of the funniest episodes for me back in the day… I miss the Disney Channel. :(
It isn’t a cartoon like you specified, but it’s one of the best Disney Channel shows of all time for me. Along with That’s So Raven, Lizzie McGuire, Suite Life of Zack and Cody, etc. Just classics. If you’re into cartoons, then Recess, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Kim Possible, The Power Puff Girls, Samurai Jack, Dexter’s Laboratory, Ed, Edd & Eddy, all incredible shows and I used to watch them religiously!
I think the only shows you listed that I haven’t watched are That’s So Raven and Lizzie McGuire and don’t have that much of an interest in them currently. Seen all of the others, even if it’s been a while. As a huge cartoon guy, it’d be weird if I never saw any of those cartoons considering I had access to all the channels I needed to watch them. Though, I probably wouldn’t have gotten into Suit Life or the prequel if it wasn’t for my older brothers.

Had no idea that show existed. Definitely gonna have to check it out, if not specifically for that scene… and maybe the rest of the show if it’s good.
