Template:InfoCharacter The Doorknob appears in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, and Kingdom Hearts coded.
While not having much screen time, 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 film, 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.
Appearance
The Doorknob is, true to his name, a sentient, gold door handle. His escutcheon plate is shaped like an elongated trapezoid with a semi-circle bump on the bottom and a curly design on the top, giving the Doorknob the appearance of having a chin and hair, respectively. A gold screw on each bottom corner of the plate keeps the Doorknob attached to his door. He has close-set, beady yellow eyes and what seem to be black "eyebrows", though these may actually be engravings on the Doorknob's plate rather than hair. The Doorknob's prominent bulbous nose is actually the knob part of a doorknob, the part that is turned to open the door, something the Doorknob doesn't pretend to enjoy. His mouth is the keyhole part of a doorknob (as well as the Keyhole of Wonderland), though it is not fixed in place like it should be; the Doorknob has no problems moving his "lips" to talk.
Personality
The Doorknob is not particularly helpful, caring only about getting sleep. He is lazy, quite obviously. He does, however, offer some help, as he tells Sora that he is too big, and that he will need to drink the potion.
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
- Every time 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.
- The Doorknob is the only one of 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.
