I only remember this one scene and nothing beyond that:
(a bit graphic, click to show)
There are men who are restrained, and their mouths are being held open. An elderly man places a large egg on top of a ramp, and the lower end of the ramp is connected to the mouth of one of the restrained men. The egg eventually hatches, and a big snail emerges from it. The snail then slowly slides down the ramp and enters the mouth of the man, who is forced to swallow it. As a result, the man is immediately brainwashed and gains additional physical powers and will serve as an additional soldier for that old man.
The scene in the cartoon you are describing is in “Wizards,” an animated film directed by Ralph Bakshi and released in 1977.
It does not have white haired druid women though.
Heavy Metal has white haired warrior women riding bird things. It has a similar animation style.

I just skipped through the movie - there isn’t a scene that’s somewhat similar described here. Sadly I didn’t find anything else. https://archive.org/details/y2mate.combernievstrumprzlyugsut7q360p
Ugh, you’re right, that wasn’t it. Damn I was so sure.
You sure you didn’t just have a fever dream?
That graphic description wouldn’t be too far off from some animes.
EDIT: apparently I fell for gpt’s confident answer, which is incorrect …
The scene you are describing is from the anime series “Naruto.” Specifically, it is from the original Naruto series, not its sequel series, Naruto Shippuden. The scene you described is from Episode 136 of Naruto, titled “Deep Cover! A Super S-Ranked Mission!” This episode features a filler arc known as the “Cursed Warrior Extermination Mission” or the “Kurosuki Family Removal Mission.” The elderly man you mentioned is called Kandachi, and he uses the snail eggs to brainwash individuals and turn them into his servants.
Terrifyingly enough, I’ve never watched Naruto. I just pasted your scene description on chatgpt and asked from which anime cartoon it was.
That’s probably not accurate. I did the same thing and it confidently told me it was a specific episode from a show called W.I.T.C.H., the episode didn’t exist and the show didn’t match the description.
ChatGPT makes shit up all the time, you need to fact-check it before copypasting answers.
Thank you. I stand corrected. And relieved.
