'''Dr. Frankenollie:''' Perfect! You're hired.* DiesWideOpen: Frankenollie. ''In a Disney cartoon''.

A [[TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation 1995]] installment of the WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts, this Disney/MickeyMouse short was first shown before ''Film/AKidInKingArthursCourt'' in theaters in the United States, while international theaters ran it right before ''AGoofyMovie''. It was nominated for an Academy Award and shown in theaters again in 1997, this time accompanying Disney's LiveActionAdaptation of ''GeorgeOfTheJungle'', and then popped up during a marathon of Mickey Mouse shorts on the pre-NetworkDecay Creator/DisneyChannel in 1999. It... ''probably'' won't be run on the Channel again.

* ButThouMust:
--> '''Dr. Frankenollie:''' Oh, don't be shy. It's not just a job. It's an adventure!\\
'''Mickey:''' I hate adventure!\\
'''Dr. Frankenollie:''' Perfect! You're hired.

* DidntWantAnAdventure: (see ButThouMust above)
* DiesWideOpen: Frankenollie. ''In a Disney cartoon''.

** Dr. Frankenollie strongly resembles Professors Ecks, Doublex and Triplex, other evil monkey scientists who similarly antagonized Mickey in FloydGottfredson's story ''[[ComicBook/MickeyMouseComicUniverse Blaggard Castle]]''. In the Fantagraphics Gottfredson Library volume with ''Blaggard Castle'', [[WordOfGod Chris Bailey]] confirmed that he had Ecks in mind for the part until ExecutiveMeddling lead to the creation of a new character.
** WesternAnimation/TheMadDoctor also comes to mind when you notice that both of these character's plans involve switching a thinking body part - [[ForTheEvulz just to see the outcome]].

* ManiacMonkeys: Dr. Frankenollie is a monkey and is clearly not all that mentally stable, considering how eager he is to switch Mickey's brain with Julius's, even if Frankenollie would be killed in the process.

* FrankenX: Dr. Frankenollie.

** Mickey subduing Julius is similar to when he defeated the giant in The BraveLittleTailor.

Funny enough, Disney eventually started acknowledging it again through merchandise, particularly its Vinylmation line, as well as Julius's BonusBoss appearance in ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance''. Disney has announced plans to post it online in August 2015, as a Disney Movies Anywhere-exclusive addition to a compilation of shorts from the 2000s and 2010s.

This short is a cult favorite among Disney fans (notably including Warren Spector, the head developer for ''EpicMickey'') and was nominated for the UsefulNotes/AcademyAwardForBestAnimatedShortFilm of 1995, but with the sheer amount of NightmareFuel generated from this, the Disney Company [[OldShame largely prefers not to talk about it]]. They only mention it in history books about the company's animated films, and the only video releases it has ever been given were a Japan-only laserdisc and a U.K.-only videotape, both in 1996, and on the Walt Disney Treasures DVD set ''Mickey Mouse in Living Color Vol. 2''.

The plot kicks off when Minnie gets upset with Mickey when he forgets the anniversary of their first date. Mickey tries to make it up to her by offering to take her miniature golfing, but she mistakenly believes he's taking her to Hawaii. To raise the $999.99 needed for that vacation, Mickey goes to apply for a job working for a mad scientist named Dr. Frankenollie. But he soon finds out that the job Frankenollie has planned for him was to [[FreakyFridayFlip switch the Mouse's brain with that of his giant monster, Julius]] (who resembles a cross between Pete and {{Frankenstein}}'s monster). The result is Mickey's mind gets trapped in Julius's body, and Mickey's body turning into the creature you see here. To make matters worse, Frankenollie is killed during the experiment, and Julius-in-Mickey's-body goes after Minnie. Thus, Mickey-in-Julius's-body must chase the monster down and rescue his girlfriend again.

Those of you who do not have the aforementioned DVD set can view the cartoon [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vDoWoePKPg& here]] (unless the uploader gets suspended), but don't blame us if you have any nightmares after watching it.

* AllMenArePerverts: Minnie is shopping at a bikini shop when she first sees Monster!Mickey, and upon seeing the face he's making while she's holding up the swimsuit she's considering buying, she coyly reprimands, "Not till we're on the boat!"

* ExecutiveMeddling: While it may be strange to think the Disney Corporation themselves allowed such a change of imagery and tone of their mascot, they did force some scenes to be cut, explaining the short being possibly too quick-paced and the short presence of the doctor.
