Victor Frankenstein is the main protagonist of Tim Burton's 1984 short Frankenweenie and its 2012 animated feature film of the same name.

Description

Victor Frankenstein is a clever and industrious 11-year old boy who is inspired by science. He lives with his parents and dog, Sparky, in the town of New Holland. Victor immerses himself in making films and inventing in his attic workshop. When Sparky dies in a car accident, Victor uses scientific ingenuity to bring him back to life.

Frankenweenie

Victor is shy, introverted, brilliantly creative and exceptionally intelligent. He spends most of his time with his dog or up in the attic where he works on his science experiments. In the ending, he shows a heroic side that is not shown at first due to his shyness, and the apparent need to work alone.

Victor appears to harbor a crush on his neighbor, Elsa Van Helsing, a somber yet soulful girl whose uncle is the mayor of New Holland; although confirmation is never cleared. Their dogs Sparky and Persephone, however, are another story entirely.

Once Upon a Time

Victor appears on Once Upon a Time, played by David Anders. He lived in the Land Without Color, and was one of the victims of the Evil Queen's Dark Curse. At one point, the Evil Queen recruited him to try and ressurect her dead lover, Daniel, but he failed.

After arriving in Storybrooke, Victor is known as Dr. Whale.

Trivia

  • Victor is based on Mary Shelley's Doctor Victor Frankenstein, the creator of the monster from the novel Frankenstein.
  • Victor Frankenstein looks like a child version of Victor Van Dort from Tim Burton's 2005 film Corpse Bride. On a related note, both characters had and lost their dog at a young age. However, both characters had their dog returned back to them from the dead.
