The classic story of a rambunctious puppet is brought to life in an inspiring tale about the power of believing in your dreams.

The Adventures of Pinocchio is the only movie in which Jonathan did a voice-over and real life acting.

I'll Be Home for Christmas (1998)

This movie will not be released until probably November 13th of 1998. It stars Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Jessica Biel (Seventh Heaven) as two lovers. Taylor Thomas stars as Jake Wilkinson, a self-absorbed prep school student, who, just days before Christmas awakens to find himself stranded in the middle of the California desert-wearing a Santa suit and a white beard glued to his face. The joke of a pay-back by the football team who thinks he double-crossed them by not providing the correct answers to a finals test, Jake has to find a way to get to New York by 6:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve-and catch up with his girlfriend Allie (JESSICA BIEL) who is on the road with the school stud Eddie (ADAM LA VORGNA)-or risk forfeiting the vintage Porche his father (GARY COLE) promised if his son comes home for the holidays. As Jake desperately hitch hikes his way east, everyone he meets unwittingly sets into motion a comedy of errors as they look to Santa for help and advice. Look for it in theatres on November 6th!!!!

Movie News (1998)

Jonathan has been filming a movie with Tiffani-Amber Thiessen (Saved By the Bell and Beverly Hills, 90210) most recently in Las Vegas. The movie is entitled Speedway Junky and should hit theatres in 1999! Don't look for Jonathan to be "Mr. Nice Guy" in this independent film. In fact, he actually plays a boy whose dream is to be a professional racer, but he is also a drug addict. More about this movie will be posted soon!

Jonathan has just been cast in the lead male role in a new independent movie called “Walking across Egypt”. “Walking Across Egypt” has very little to do with a trek across the desert as the title may suggest. The film actually tells the story of a rebellious 17-year old boy orphan boy called Wesley Benfield played by Jonathan, whose life becomes crossed with a seventy two year old religious widow from the deep south! As the difficult relationship between the two opposite characters develops, “Egypt” explores how two very different lives can be changed forever. This movie is based on the book and will start shooting in Houston, Texas, later in the year (1998).

Jonathan Taylor Thomas is among the celebrities that have donated their time and energy to a creative collaboration to benefit the Starbright Foundation. The project is the publication of an all-star retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's timeless tale The Emperor's New Clothes. The retelling of The Emperor's New Clothes features classic characters from the original tale including the fashion-conscious Emperor, his Prime Minister and the Honest Boy. "But the roles have changed a bit, and we've added many new characters, including the arrogant Imperial Mirror, the Dresser's exasperated Spectacles and even the Emperor's Underwear," explained the project's Senior Producer Karen Kushell. "Each celebrity wrote a chapter from their character's point of view and the plot unfolds through their unique perspectives. Everyone brought such fun and imagination to their chapters; it makes for a wildly creative storytelling experience." Jonathan tells his chapter of the story from the perspective of the Emperor's teenage son.
The book is being published on October 22nd, 1998. The audio CD, featuring the celebrity authors voices, will be included as a combination set with the book. The Starbright Foundation will benefit from the proceeds of the sales.

Jonathan has a part in the hustler racing flick Speedway Junky. This movie is quite rare but deals with issues including racing and gay lifestyle. It is a very different role for Jonathan, probably his most unique. It is available for sale at amazon.com.
