Frank is a character from Disney's 1990 film The Rescuers Down Under and Rescuers up, a 2019 movie. He is a frill-necked lizard was captured by Percival C. McLeach.

Background

Frank is first seen after Cody is thrown into a cage with him by McLeach-one of the many animals that McLeach has poached for various ways of making money. He quickly joins in Cody's yelled defiances of McLeach, though he becomes frightened when approached by the boy.

Personality

Frank is terrified of being killed and turned into a purse. He is extremely hyperactive.

Design

He is a small green frilled lizard, who frequently gets his frill stuck in things. He is very fast, hyperactive, a bit of a motor-mouth and a coward, though he does try to help and shows some guts when he ends up on Joanna's back and pulls a cowboy act with her.

Role in the film

Frank appeared when Mcleach threw Cody into the cage. Cody told McLeach he'll never tell him where Marahute is. Frank popped out of the hay and told Mcleach too. Cody asked him where he came from and he said he was from the desert. Frank covers his ears when Krebbs told him he is going to be a purse. Frank doesn't want to be a purse, Cody told Frank they're going out of here in the cage. Frank hatched the plan to get the key.
