Line 37: Line 38:
In Sora's first visit, Dr. Finkelstein is first seen looking at his book on constructing [[The Experiment|a robotic creature]]. When Jack arrives and ask him on the whereabouts on Sally is, Finkelstein tells him he was busy working on the experiment with the help of Lock, Shock, and Barrel. Eventually, however, their mischievous ways are annoying him as the trio soon tossed the robot arm on the table causing it to explode, and angrily called them "imbeciles".

Eventually, however, their mischievous ways are annoying him as the trio soon tossed the robot arm on the table causing it to explode, and angrily called them "imbeciles".  


Prior to Sora's second visit, Finkelstein has finished his experiment and tries to bring it to life but doesn't work. Realizing that their is nothing wrong with his design, along with Lock, Shock, and Barrel continuously dropping the parts they are meant to bring him, Finkelstein believes the Experiment to be a failure and decides to find "better assistants". However, just as he turns around to start new designs, the creation comes to life and attacks the doctor, leaving him unconscious in his laboratory. After regaining conscious, Dr. Finkelstein pleads for help that his experiment is missing. When he tells Jack and friends the full story Sora believes the Heartless might have taken the experiment, in which Finkelstein tells him that it was nothing like a Heartless. After defeating the Experiment, they return back to Halloween Town and tell the doctor that the experiment wasn't stolen, much to his surprise, and concluding it was an "overwhelming success". Sora then says that Santa Claus theorizes that the machine left, because it was probably looking for a heart, in which Dr. Finkelstein agrees, stating that he did not give the creature a heart of its own, as he did with Sally, and returns back into his lab.

==Appearance==
==Design==
Dr. Finkelstein is a frail-looking person, with thin, spindly limbs and very small hands and feet, but a disproportionately large head. He is confined to a black, electric wheelchair that seems to be rather old and difficult to operate. The chair is almost entirely metal and lacks any sort of cushioning, and it sports two levers, one on either arm rest, that Finkelstein uses to move it.

==Trivia==
*While ''Kingdom Hearts II'' serves as the Doctor's name's first mention in a voiced cutscene, it is mispronounced, Jack calling him "Finkel-steen" rather than the film's version of the name, "Finkel-stine."
*While ''Kingdom Hearts II'' serves as the Doctor's name's first mention in a voiced cutscene, it is mispronounced, with Jack calling him "Finkel-steen" rather than the film's version of the name, "Finkel-stine." The mispronunciation is consistent with ''The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge'', which released before ''Kingdom Hearts II''.
