Honest John

J. Worthington Foulfellow is one of the primary antagonists from Disney's 1940 film Pinocchio. He is also known as Honest John, suggesting his full name is John Worthington Foulfellow. He was voiced by Walter Catlett. He and his minion Gideon take the wooden puppet to both Stromboli and Pleasure Island.

Personality
Honest John is how many animated foxes are portrayed; sly and sneaky. He is also very smart and convincing. He has taken the "easy road" to success, and has never attended school. As a result, despite his cunning and persuasiveness, he can barely read or write. He is also not immune to being swindled himself, as Stromboli bought Pinocchio from him for far less than a living puppet would be worth.

Honest John is remarkably persuasive, and can convince almost anybody to do what he wants. His plans are reliable and clever, but are often spoiled by his sidekick, Gideon. He is also not unwilling to kill in order to make money, and is entirely without conscience, fearing only the law and the Coachman.

Pinocchio
J. Worthington Foulfellow, or "Honest John" as he calls himself (although he isn't really honest), is the leader of the duo. He is always looking for opportunities to obtain money easily, without having to work, and to achieve it takes advantage of Pinocchio's innocence. First, he cheats the child of wood in order that one to the world of the spectacle it selling to the puppeteer Stromboli for a certain quantity of money. Later, when Pinocchio escapes and comes back home, he meets up again with Honest John and turns it to being deceptive: this time he sells to the Coachman for more money, and that takes Pinocchio to "Pleasure Island".

Honest John has made many cameos along with many other Disney characters in House of Mouse, usually sitting with Gideon.
