Cartoon Based on Prince? Hey Y'all!
Earlier this afternoon, I was watching A Goofy Movie on the Disney Channel ( I was babysitting) and I noticed that there was a cartoon rock star that Goofy's son Max wanted to see called Powerline. At first, I thought the toon was based on Michael Jackson because it had a somewhat high voice and it did the Moonwalk alot but at the end of the movie I was convinced he was based on PRINCE. Powerline gave a concert and was backed by two TWIN dancers (like the Twinz) in matching teeny outfits and one plumper, soul singer (like Rosie Gaines). And I do know that the song Powerline sang was called "I 2 I" written the way Prince would write it and sung by Prince associated artist--Tevin Campbell! What do you guys think?  I love a Man who:

I'm familiar with this movie, as I had to buy it for my kids back when it first came out. It was released in 1995... so, I can tell you without a doubt that it is NOT based on the Twinz, as they were olnly around a couple years ago.
The only Prince related person on this project was the voice of Powerline, who is Tevin Campbell. In looking at it, it's definitely a MJ based character, and if you look closely at the movie, there's a scene where they're on the highway, and a limo drives by with a gloved hand waving out the tinted glass window. Disney and Mike go waaaay back, so... I think it lies there. |

Interesting. Disney has a lot to work with, if they based a cartoon on Prince...The artwork is the important thing... Not ridiculing Prince in any way, although we would expect it to be funny, as cartoons are...
U know what I mean? People's assumptions about Prince should not be highlighted...Prince's talent should be the concept. If any trait is highlighted it should be Prince's arrogance, that we all know has justification.  "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |
