Doctor Frankenollie was the secondary antagonist of the 1995 short "Runaway Brain", voiced by Kelsey Grammer who voiced Stinky Pete (also famous for his role as Frasier Crane).
Appearence[]
Frankenollie is a monkey with shaggy black fur, large yellow eyes, and he wore a double-breasted labcoat with long black rubber gloves. Oh, and did we forget to mention that he has a HUGE HAWKIN' LIGHTBULB JUTTING RIGHT OUT OF HIS HEAD?!
Role in Runaway Brain[]
Mickey Mouse, in desperate need of money to go on a Hawaiian vacation with Minnie, sees a want add in the newspaper for "a mindless day's work in Dr. Frankenollie's laborotory". The job offered $999.99 (which is the exact amount of money Micky needed). Mickey rings the doorbell, and gets sucked through a trapdoor under the welcome mat. There, Frankenollie meets Mickey by having him shackled to a chair. He then explains that the "job" was really a brain swap between Mickey and Dr. Frankenollie's monster, Julius (who bears more than a passing resemblence to Julius). After the brain swap, the good doctor wasn't seen for the remainder of the short (read below)
Dead?[]
After the brain swap, Mickey (in Julius' body) runs over to Frankenollie and shouts "Doc, doc! I changed my mind; I don't want the money, I just want my body back!". After Mickey/Julius stops shaking Dr. Frankenollie empathetically, ashes crumble off him, and then his skeleton (save for the arms) fell out of the labcoat, and stood on their own for half a second before crumbling to pieces. This, for some viewers, meant that he was incinerated during the experiment (like any other self-respecting mad scientist). Other assumed, as a more creepy understanding of the scene, that Mickey unwillingly killed him when he was trying to shake him, because he wasn't already used to his Julius self's strenght.
Inside Jokes[]
Dr. Frankenollie's name, aside from the obvious Frankenstein pun, is a joke on two of Disney's greatest animators (who often work together on projects): Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston. The exterior of his house parodies that of "The Exorcist".
