Story

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
| File:Dr.F-ChOfMem.jpg | File:DrF2-ChofMem.png |
Dr. Finkelstein makes an appearance as a figment of Sora's memory in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. In the game, Jack Skellington, requests that he makes a memory potion, hoping that it would help in teaching the Heartless new Halloween tricks.
Kingdom Hearts II
Dr. Finkelstein returns in this game as well. He is busy constructing a robotic creature with the help of Lock, Shock and Barrel but their mischievous ways are annoying him. He finishes his experiment but it runs out on its own, and is dismantled in a battle against Sora and his friends in Christmas Town.
Origin
In Tim Burton's classic film, Dr. Finkelstein is the same character portrayed in the Kingdom Hearts series. As the creator of Sally, the doctor is exasperated and extremely irritated as Sally spikes his food and puts him to sleep while she ventures out. He usually tracks her down and returns her to the laboratory, locking her in her room. After Jack returns from Christmas Town, Dr. Finkelstein helps him perform some experiments to explain the meaning of Christmas. When Jack decides to run Christmas, he asks Dr. Finkelstein to create reindeer for a sleigh. He does, creating skeletal versions. Finkelstein spends the remainder of the film building a new assistant, who becomes a female version of him.
