Jonathan Thoddeus "Johnny" Worthington is the main antagonist of Pixar's 14th full-length animated feature film Monsters University, a minor character in it’s short film Party Central and the main antagonist in the season 2 of Monsters at Work. He is the former president of Roar Omega Roar, the former CEO of FearCo and the major rival team of Mike and Sulley's team (Oozma Kaapa) compete against in the scare games.
He was voiced by Nathan Fillion, who also voiced Sterling in Cars 3.
Johnny is Mike's arch-rival, and the confident president of Roar Omega Roar (ROR), a Monsters University fraternity that prides itself on its notable Scarers. His antagonistic role in the film comes from him frequently belittling the Oozma Kappa fraternity.
In Monsters, Inc. 2: University, Johnny Worthington first meets Sulley and Mike after the two have been led to the Greek row by Archie the Scare Pig. As other fraternities are trying to get Sulley to join them, Johnny welcomes Sulley and takes him to be a Roar Omega Roar. When Mike tries to attract his attention, Johnny "kindly" tells him that he would be better with Osman Kappa, the weakest-looking fraternity.
As the semester goes by, the RORs are increasingly disappointed by Sulley, who performs poorly in the Scaring class. Johnny finally signifies to Sulley that if he fails the final exam to Mike, he will be removed from ROR.
Johnny is with the RORs on the subscription day for the Scare Games, and laughs when Mike presents himself to the competition. The ROR have great success at the games, coming first at all challenges. However, against all odds, Oozma Kappa somehow stays in the competition after two rounds.
The OKs are invited to a party at the ROR house that will actually be their doom. In front of everyone present, Johnny congratulates the OKs of how good they did in the Scare Games and invites them to the stage. But when OK are on stage, Johnny tells his brothers to spill on them paint, glitter and flowers and they are photographed. Randy spills on them bunny dolls and took a picture of them. Johnny and the RORs open a stand next day and massively sell products featuring the embarrassing picture, supposedly to collect funds for a "good" cause.
When they see the OKs continue to perform better and better at the Scare Games, Johnny and his crew are increasingly upset, but hope to get the last word at the final race, which tests how scary a monster really is. At the last race, the fight between OK and ROR is intense. Johnny is highly irritated by Randy's failure. Johnny is on the last and decisive face-off, where he is against Mike. Confident of his win, he repeats one last time to Mike his place is not here, and then proceeds to get a near-perfect score. But Mike gets the maximum score, a full scream can, beating Johnny and bringing the victory to OK, much to Johnny's shock.
Following the race, Johnny tries to bring Sulley back to ROR at the place of Randy, but Sulley refused and turned away.
During the credits, it is shown that Johnny got a job as a scarer at Fear Co.
Party Central[]
Johnny Worthington briefly appears in Party Central. He enters the hall of the RΩR house, preparing to greet his guests, but he is shocked to see instead the room empty of both monsters and supplies.
Monsters at Work[]
Johnny appears in season 2 as one of the top scarers at FearCo. and its current CEO (the company having been run by his family for generations) which has not chosen to switch over to laugh energy after the events of the original film. He is also shown to have married Claire Wheeler and raised two kids with her. When Tylor Tuskmon finds himself struggling as a jokester, Johnny offers him a job to actually put his scaring degree to use.
As by “ Descent into Fear”, he’s been stealing laugh canisters from M.I. with help from the villain from the first film, Randall Boggs. Randall explains that he’s been stealing laugh energy from Monsters, Inc. and delivering them to FearCo. and was responsible for other mishaps that befell M.I., including making Tylor the fall guy. Tylor learns that Johnny is mixing laugh and scream power which he knows will cause the building to explode.
Desperate to stop Johnny when he plans to unveil the ‘Scream Enhancer’ later that night, Tylor goes to MIFT just as M.I. is being closed off by M.E.R.C. and tells them what’s happening. Despite the bad blood between them, they agree to help Tylor by remaking Waternoose’s old scream extractor to separate the scream power. They go to FearCo.’s receiving station to put their plan into motion while Tylor and Val try to distract Johnny from activating the machine. Randall tries to stop MIFT and after a battle, the plug for the scream extractor is broken by a falling stalactite, but Chet, revealing to be an agent of M.E.R.C., uses his tail as a substitute plug, saving Monstropolis. Tylor and Val then expose Johnny’s actions on live tv and Johnny is arrested by M.E.R.C.
Personality[]
As president of RΩR, the premiere campus fraternity, Johnny is very selfish and egotistical and only interested in having "the most elite" Scarers in his fraternity, inviting James P. Sullivan to join, as the latter comes from a family of successful Scarers, but mockingly denies Mike Wazowski and suggesting he joins a fraternity that's "more his speed."
Johnny clearly cares more about his fraternity's reputation (taking grades and academics into account), when he threatens to kick Sulley out of RΩR if he doesn't beat Mike in the final exam. When Mike and Sulley are both kicked out of the Scaring Program by Dean Hardscrabble, Johnny and his frat-boys leave without a word to Sulley.
His rivalry towards Mike escalates when, right before the Scare Simulator,Johnny arrogantly tells Mike not to take losing so hard and that "he never belonged in the Scaring Program anyway." Mike wins the Scare Games due to Sulley's tampering of the settings, thus humiliating and surprising RΩR in its defeat. Johnny is not a sore loser as he accepts defeat, offering Sulley back to their group in Randy's place only for Sulley to reject his offer and give him the trophy since he is more concerned in rescuing Mike.
Despite his arrogance, sets art director Robert Kondo explains that he has something to lose, is afraid of failure and has a tradition to live up to.
He saves Tylor from Football team take down he know Tylor somewhere even he mentions to fan kid that Tylor top student and break his and James P. Sullivan record in Scare Simulator he shown sense respect other monsters who have strong talents like Tylor, Jame P. Sullivan and encourages him that don't give up easily he becomes obsessed with power when Tylor show bullies powerful Roar scatter glass and Scare Simulator dummy that hire any other monsters who have strong talents compare to Tylor than Monsters Inc's recruits.
Appearance[]
Johnny is a tall indigo monster with large demon - like horns, sharp teeth, and a spiky dragon tail. He wears a red Roar Omega Roar sweater with a gold collar.
Trivia[]
The ROR house's interior was based on a backstory Johnny had.
In Disney Tsum Tsum, Johnny could be fought as a boss during the Japan Pixar Story Books Event in March 2020 and the International Pixar Storybooks Event in May 2020. He was erroneously referred to as "Johnny Washington" in the International version.
Like Chef Skinner, Johnny technically both loses and wins, since while he loses the Scare Games, it is revealed that Sulley cheated by setting the difficulty to easy so that makes RΩR winners by default. Unlike Skinner, who ultimately loses in the end despite having shut down Gusteau's, Johnny ultimately wins in the end since they are the true winners of the Scare Games since Sulley cheated, although he and his team never knew about it despite losing. As a result, the winner remains disputed or deduced by viewers.
His name might be similar to Honest John's real name, John Worthington Foulfellow.
