Hero Overview

Mavis, you're a blast! You're so full of life and curious about everything. If Dennis grows up to be just like you, I'll be the luckiest dad in the world.
~ Johnny reassuring Mavis that she isn't a freak.
There’s no monster real estate law? Well, then… then that means that this… this was all a lie? You didn’t want to have any bonding time with me. You just didn’t want to give me the hotel! You hate me! It's easy! (growls) Cause I... (strains) not part of family! Johnny out of here!
~ Johnny turning into a beast, after Dracula tells him the truth about monster real estate law.

Jonathan "Johnny" Loughran is the tritagonist of the Hotel Transylvania franchise.

He is a young backpack tourist who accidentally ended up in Hotel Transylvania during his travels, becoming the first human to enter the hotel filled with monsters and falls in love with Mavis Dracula, much to the chagrin of her initially misanthropic father, Dracula.

He is voiced by Andy Samberg, who also voiced Brent McHale in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs films and later on voiced Junior in Storks, Ham in Space Chimps, Jacob Peralta in Brooklyn Nine Nine, Rip Digman in Digman, and Scarlet Spider in Spider-Man: Across the Spider Verse and its upcoming sequel, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider Verse.

Appearance[]

Jonathan has fair skin complexion, dark red hair and brown eyes. He typically wears a yellow and green t-shirt over a long-sleeve orange shirt, both of which are oversized, with brown shorts and blue and green sneakers.

Jonathan's monster form after being hit by Van Helsing's monsterfication ray is that of a green dragon.

Personality[]

Jonathan is an outgoing, fun-loving and happy-go-lucky young man whose presence breathes new life into the monster world, "yet he is unaware that he is the catalyst of change," says producer Michelle Murdocca. "He simply points out things that are going on around him that the others should have recognized long ago, helping other characters discover a path to change their perspectives, in a non-threatening way." He is an airhead who didn't seem the least bit fazed when he first arrived at Hotel Transylvania.

He's a typical backpacker: confident and adventurous, while also having lots of knowledge about adventuring under his belt. He's also very talkative, curious, optimistic and his good-natured attitude allows him to win many people over, even ones who greatly dislike him at first. One of Jonathan's key traits is his ability to not let much bother him, which he tries to pass on to others by telling them "they just gotta roll". While he may seem clueless and idiotic he does have a certain amount of intelligence and can be very respectful and caring towards people. He also seems to be a man of his word and will honor his promises even if he doesn't want to.

Even being a father as of the second film, Johnny remains the same personality, although he has gained a slightly underhanded side. He works with Dracula to distract Mavis while Dennis is trained to be a monster. Johnny's primary reason is not wanting to leave the hotel, which he loves, and getting a boring, normal job. He also seems to be something of a man-child due to his attitude towards the children when Mavis finished showing her bicycle skills.

Despite his confidence, childishness and happy-go-lucky attitude, Johnny has other sides of him as seen in the third and fourth film. He can be very resourceful when danger arises, with him having been responsible with playing Macarena to calm down the Kraken and thus saving all the monsters. It is later shown that in the fourth film that he has insecurities about himself of being the most ordinary human in a supernatural-based hotel, and wants to seek approval from Dracula. Although he lashes out his pent-up rage as he loses control of his monster form upon knowing that Dracula lied to him, Johnny finally gets to accept himself and become less selfish after realizing that Dracula does care about him.

Relationships[]

  • Mavis Dracula - Mavis and Jonathan instantly 'zinged' the first time they saw each other and getting to know each other only made their feelings stronger. When Dracula told him Mavis had feelings for him he was surprised at first then smiled and said 'Awesome' in a lovesick tone. When Mavis finds out Jonathan is really a human, she is disappointed, not because he's a human, but because he lied. Mavis' heart gets broken when Jonathan lied, even though it was more for Dracula's sake. When he leaves, Dracula realizes how much Johnny meant to Mavis and thinks they might have zinged and tries to convince him to stay. When Jonathan comes back and tells her that she's his zing and the reason why he lied, all is resolved. They became a happy couple and traveled the world together. In the second film, he and Mavis get married. He comforts her during their vacation at his hometown in California when she felt uncomfortable. They are almost always seen together and he is always there for her when Mavis needs him, and vice versa.
  • Dennis - Dennis is Mavis and Jonathan's son. He cares for his son like any father would, but Mavis is a little bit overprotective of him in contrast to his more lenient personality. Johnny was quite proud when Dennis got fangs on his 5th birthday.
  • Dracula - Dracula is Johnny's father-in-law. Jonathan and Dracula got off to a rocky start as Dracula did not like him at all simply because he was a human. But after bonding while racing tables, they start to like each other. By the end of the movie, Dracula respects Jonathan and vice versa. In the second film, both are surprisingly on the same page about being against Mavis wanting to move. They cooperate to trick her and train Dennis. In the third film, Johnathan and Dracula worked together to save all the monster from the Kraken who got mind-controlled by Van Helsing. However, the fourth film does show that Johnathan is aware that Dracula takes him for granted and is at odds with his perspectives, so he decided to let Van Helsing transform him into a monster in order to help himself and Mavis inherit the hotel and circumvent the real estate law (that never exists at all). When he realized Dracula lied to him, Johanathan believed his father-in-law never liked him and snapped, losing control of himself. Fortunately, Dracula was able to remind Johnathan back to his senses, which helped Johnathan realize Dracula does care about him as family, and the two finally have an improved relationship as both return to their normal selves.
  • Martha - Martha is Jonathan's mother-in-law the fact that Martha was killed by a mob of angry humans when Mavis was still a baby that's why Jonathan never met her.
  • Vlad - Vlad is Jonathan's grandfather-in-law. They met at Dennis' birthday party. At first, Vlad hated Johnny when he discovered he was a human, but soon learned to accept him as his family after watching Johnny assist in defending the hotel and Dennis. Jonathan was happy when Vlad saved his life when Bela attempted to kill him and called him family, while ordering Bela to never come near his family ever again.
  • Johnny's Family: Johnny seems to love his family, but it's implied that he and his family never got along. Johnny was sort of the "Black Sheep" of the family, and as a result, he never fits in. This is why he began traveling the world to find someplace where he could fit in.
