Phil Winklestein really deserves an oscar for his portrayal of Frankencelery.

Even the jumpscare at the end syncs up with Junior’s reaction in the episode.

Phil Winklestein was an actor from Toledo, Ohio who played Frankencelery. He retired after 1999 as one the veterans in Veggie Productions. I met him last week at Playhouse Square in my city of Cleveland, Ohio. He lives downtown and works as the curtain puller for one of the theaters downtown. Great guy. He needs to see this.

Meanwhile, Junior is getting scarred for life watching this.

Always wondered what the lab looked like, this was terrific! Thank you Cmanflip!

I always thought the doctor was a scallion based on his shadow but this looks great regardless lol!

You know, that ending ironically was more worth Junior's reaction than the original; said original mostly sounded less like Frankencelery was hurting the villagers and more like he was tickling them.

Lol. That mini jumpscare at the end caught me off guard.

meanwhile some years earlier: young me: *hides behind couch so I cant see him*

Junior my boy, always remember... God is Bigger than the Boogeyman!

"It can't be done. I don't believe you can do it."

It's one of my most anticipated videos of 2021

Huh... that’s interesting how they used Jimmy’s voice before they ever created the Jimmy character. I never thought about that before lol

1:06 yikes frankencelery jumpscare

Good job, Cmanflip. I bet Big Idea would love this.

Now we need to make a VeggiTales parody of Dawn Of The Dead. The “zombies” can be the In The House character models

1:05 I always wondered what Frankencelery did to the "OUCH!" guy offscreen. Good to know it was just a jumpscare. Now I can sleep well at night once again.

I’ve always thought Jimmy Gourd was in that Frankencelery movie when I was a kid. 😆😂

It’s alive! Alive!

Really nice job! It's like finally getting to see one of those mysterious off-screen moments you always wondered about as a kid.

1:06 gotta love that jumpscare

"Junior, it's time for bed."

I always thought the scientists assistant was Larry but in a lab coat.

Plot twist: He was just going to the local store to buy some cookies for him

Plot Twist: Franken-Celery is gonna buy some milk

1:08 Mom: Junior! It’s time for bed!

This is the perfect illustration of what it would have looked like if they showed the visual image of frakencelery being created

Big idea would be proud of you .

Franken celery surprised me at the "THE END" screen.

Awesome! I saw later versions of the episode in my life, and I wondered what was happening back there. The first time I watched this episode, when Frankencelery (really portrayed by Phil Winklestein) came out, I got so freaked out that I screamed and ran upstairs and hid. Eventually my mom came up to comfort me.

This is legit awesome. It really looks like it fit in the episode or even be a whole show. Well done.

"Junior! It's time for bed!"

A squash who plays Victor Frankenstein and a purple grape who plays his sidekick, Igor.

Stay away from those villagers!!!!

I always wondered what this scene would have looked like within that room. I love this so much.

I knew from the sound of the mad doctor’s voice that that was Jimmy Gourd.

"I didn't realize he was sitting! I thought he was standing up!"

Frankencelery Is Here

Hey man, I really admire your work. I legit forgot this was fanmade, the animation and lighting and everything matches old school VeggieTales perfectly. Keep up the good work!

Frankencelery is going to the wrong way! D:>

Phil actually scared me as a kid.

Okay now that was extremely creative! What a way to make one of my favorite VeggieTales episodes even better!😊👌

Awesome job!!

Wow, that was actually really good. Thanks for putting a new POV to my childhood.

The stiff movement of the characters was what really made the immersion for me

Frankencelery's appearance is meant to emulate the likeness of actor Boris Karloff (best known for portraying Frankenstein's Monster, The Mummy, and the 1966 Grinch).

This reminds me the comic/book from the worst redesign of veggietales

You wanna know something weird? When this episode used to be on Netflix, whenever the professor said "Stay away from those villagers!", the English captions said "stay away from FrankenCelery!"

Now we know what happened in the lab when he was awakened

I guess Jimmy was the mad doctor the whole time...

This is really cool. I’ve never thought of what that scene looked like in the lab, but it looks like it was from veggietales. Nice

0:44 This whole time, we thought he was saying, "I'll be going." Appropriate response, I'd high-tail it out of there too. But then I saw the 1993 pilot version and it turns out, he was saying, "Oh, look at it going." It was just sped up to where you could only BARELY tell he was saying that.

The end? Uh oh I guess there's more. I love the zapper it makes a very nice addition to this.

Love the intro, these videos make me feel old; such great content. 👏

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to think it was Jimmy Gourd with spikey hair based on the voice and shadow, but I felt like Jimmy had a mohawk going. Still this is pretty great, definitely not what I expected. 😊

Thank you for making this!! I always wanted to know what was happening when I was a child

i wonder what would happen if this was originally recreated in color

It's A Chive, It's A Chive! "Uh Doctor You might want to clean them 🥽." Huh, oh thanks Igor. Yes it's clearly a Franken-Celery.

Nice one man, this sure brings back childhood memories

Finally one of the greatest mysteries of the universe has been discovered

This is probably how the film actually looked in universe.

Yes!!! I've always wanted to see this!!

Great Scott! Look how big it is! It's the size of a BEAST!

I love this! I always wondered what this looked like! 😁

So much nostalgia for this scene, can't wait to see it!

I always wanted to know the actual film from this perspective! Thanks so much :D

This was really awesome to watch- I watched it 3 times in a row! I did kind of want to see the villages and the people saying "No!" and "ouch", but I'm sure that would have been a lot. All in all, really awesome job, Cmanflip! :) PS, The original scene for some reason made me think the lab assistant was saying "Aahhhh" at 0:36. This made me realize how silly I've been all of my life! :0

THANK YOU I WISHED THEY SHOWED THIS IS THE ACTUAL EPISODE 😎😎😎😎

Honestly, this version of this scene is amazing since we actually get to see who the mad scientist and professor look like. I’m guessing these designs are what Phil Vischer was thinking of even though they were just shadows in the actual episode. I would love it if you did a side-by-side comparison of both versions of this scene that you remade in Blender along with a colorized version of them both. I’ve always wondered what color the laboratory would look like if it wasn’t in black-and-white. I even had a dream about it once.

Where did he find such a big piece of dead celery? A kids plate?

A masterpiece!

It's alive! It's alive!

This is the nice tales of the crisper animation I like it a lot

Due to your Spongebob-VeggieTales videos, I have a suggestion-“We’re not talking about this!” in VeggieTales form. This comes from the episode Krusty Love.

So it was Jimmy Gourd this whole time

Pretty Genuine. I always wanted to know what they looked like on the other side of the room.

I actually was terrified of this, but I (like Junior) figured out.

Lol. I finally get to see what they're doing!

There needs to be a "Where's God When I'm S-Scared?: Re-Energized" with this as the opening scene for "Tales From the Crisper"

Is it just me or does the gourd look like Guy Fieri?

Junior was traumatized by this ?! X3 I can see why

🎶I'm sorry that I scared you when you saw me on T.V.!🎶

This scared me when I was a child.

That villager part got me thinking of minecraft lol 😆

I love it

Nice POV. "Just, 4 more minutes."

This is going to be great! Also, who is the assistant guy next to Scientist Jimmy?

Jimmy is Dr. Frankencelery confirmed!

If this was real I would be like, oh hi

Shaggy: Look out Scooby-Doo it’s Frankencelery!

Nice reimagining of that scene!😄🤩😎👌

Ooh I can't wait to see this when it premieres

I was expecting dr frankencelery’s lab to be bigger

"Speak!" *Minecraft Villager noise*

Idk if it's just me but it feels like you went for a much more grander feel with this animation!

Oh dear god Jimmy come here they’re doing the thing again

Junior:Ahh! It's FrankenCelery!

I remember being terrified at this episode when I was young

Phil winklestien deserves a Oscar for his performance

This is going to be EPIC
