So sick
After completing preproduction in Burbank, CA, some of us packed up and moved to Paris for a year as the film made its way through production. This photo is from that time – me, Catherine Rascon (assistant editor) and Greg Perler, the filmโs editor. #D23GoofyMovie pic.twitter.com/hKau2sYsS0

Everyone loves to talk about this one
Recently I did a podcast about A GOOFY MOVIE with Jason Marsden and we discovered that we share a most favorite scene in the movie. To me itโs remarkable that we were able to add so many new layers of emotion to a character thatโs been around for as long as Goofy. #D23GoofyMovie pic.twitter.com/PbGf50iWWf

Setting the record straight
POWERLINE! Itโs often been rumored that Powerline is Bobby Brown. Honestly, he was conceived as a combination of Prince, Michael Jackson and yes, Bobby Brown. #D23GoofyMovie pic.twitter.com/EkNNqGhw2n
