Thirty years after its original release, A Goofy Movie has grown into a cultural touchstone, influencing generations of Disney fans. In celebration of its milestone anniversary, Disney has unveiled a brand-new immersive concert video experience centered on the film’s iconic anthem, “I2I”—a moment that longtime fans will instantly recognize and adore.
Experience Powerline Like Never Before
Unveiled by D23: The Official Disney Fan Club, this innovative video reimagines the unforgettable climactic concert scene where Goofy and Max find themselves backstage at a Powerline show. This time, however, viewers can fully immerse themselves in Powerline’s full performance of “I2I,” with action from the film playing out around them in a cutting-edge VR environment.
Rather than following the backstage chaos, the immersive experience places you in the middle of the performance. With iconic moments from the film scattered across the virtual stage. The result is an updated and interactive take on a Disney classic.
Iconic Music and Legacy
Originally released in 1995, “I2I” has endured as a Disney fan favorite. Amassing millions of streams and inspiring countless dance challenges online. Its legacy continues to evolve, with a recent pop punk cover by Magnolia Park featured on A Whole New Sound, a Disney music tribute album.
“I am just truly grateful and extremely blessed to be the voice of Powerline,” said Tevin Campbell, who performed the song. “When you’re a kid, you never think about 30 years down the line. It’s really great to be a part of something that’s a part of people’s childhood.”
