Doorknob

The Doorknob appears in Kingdom Hearts.

While not having much screentime, the Doorknob's mouth is the keyhole to Wonderland. It likes to sleep, and therefore prefers silence over noises. The Doorknob also hides the world's Keyhole. The Doorknob is much sleepier than in the movie, and it has no qualms about giving a rather curt reply to anyone who disturbs its sleep. The Doorknob is the only character from the movie version of Alice in Wonderland to not have appeared in the book itself. It also uses the phrase "One good turn deserves another," derived from an old English folk tale of the same title. Contrary to the entry in Jiminy's Journal, Sora and company never enter through the door on which the Doorknob is fixed.

The Doorknob appears again in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, this time having a conversation with Roxas.

Journal Entries

Kingdom Hearts

A talking doorknob in the door to Wonderland. To enter, you must turn him--and "One good turn deserves another," as he would say.

Doorknob was the only character in "Alice in Wonderland" (1951) who didn't first appear in the original story.

Quotes

• "What a racket. How's a doorknob to get any sleep? *YAWN*"
• (upon being asked by Sora how the White Rabbit got so small) "No, you're simply too big."
• "Must you be so loud? You woke me up!"
• (in reply to Goofy's "Good morning!") "Good night! I need a bit more sleep."
• "Why don't you try the bottle... over there?"

Trivia

• Everytime the Doorknob is approached, a small cutscene is played showing him snoring away. There doesn't seem to be any speech bubbles showing the Doorknob's reaction, or even Sora and company's reaction to its constant snoring.

• It should also be noted that he is the only few characters to be originally created for a Disney film that did not appear in the original book source the film is based upon (in this case, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland). One of the other figures is Gopher, from the Winnie the Pooh cartoons.
