Dr. Finklestein is a fictional character from the film The Nightmare Before Christmas. He is a duck-like mad scientist with a hinged skullcap that he can open up to reveal his brain. For unknown reasons he is confined to a motorized wheelchair (early drawings of Finklestein however depict him standing freely, and his original action figure followed this example, implying he was not always intended to be wheelchair-bound). Finklestein was voiced by the late William Hickey in the movie and by Jess Harnell in the video game spin-offs. His Japanese voice is done by Yuji Mitsuya.

The Nightmare Before Christmas
Dr. Finklestein is the "evil scientist" of Halloweentown, and lives in a large castle/observatory with his "daughter" Sally and his hunchbacked assistant Igor. He is the "father" of Sally, whom he created as a living ragdoll. James Whale's Frankenstein is quoted in Finklestein's line "I built you with my own hands", which is ironic as Finklestein's body appears to be largely, if not entirely, artificial. Unlike Frankenstein, who takes no responsibility for his creations and disowns them almost as soon as they're completed, Finklestein is an over-protective parent who keeps Sally under lock and key, under the pretext of sheltering her from a world he didn't believe she was ready for. In addition to being an overbearing and antagonistic father figure for Sally to overcome, Finklestein also has a hand in helping Jack Skellington out with his plan to take over Christmas, by bringing to life several skeletal reindeer to pull Jack's sleigh. At the end of the film, Finklestein, deciding that Sally is too much of a handful, creates a wife for himself using half of his own brain.

 Dr. Finkelstein eating soup. Finklestein is only referred to as Evil Scientist in the credits (a bit of a stretch considering he isn't actually evil, just strict). His name is only mentioned in the movie when the Mayor calls him up to the front of the line for his Christmas assignment. He was originally planned to be the "true" identity of Oogie Boogie, but this idea was scrapped as it made Finklestein look more like a villain and raised too many questions.
