The movie that spelled the end of JTT, 9 May 2005
Author: adavis (aheckle@yahoo.com) from Memphis, TN

From 1994-1998 movie producers were obsessed with turning JTT into a major film star because he was the voice of the Lion King. With the exception of the Lion King, every film Thomas would star in did poorly at the box office. This film was no exception. Producers have made the same mistake with stars like Jennifer Love Hewitt and Giovanni Ribisi just to name a few. Its amazing it can take up the 3 duds to show an actor has no star power. I might be wrong but I don't think Thomas has had a starring role since this film. After this dismal failure, filmmakers must have since the light a realized Thomas was such an overrated child actor that had grown up.
