Description

      Tony Bancroft was co-director on Disney's Mulan, director of the English language version of Hayao Miyazaki's Porco Rosso and director of Animal Crackers. He started with one year and one semester at Cal Arts before joining Disney's then-new Florida studio. Advancement opportunities and the woman he married compelled him to move to Burbank where he he rose to become supervising animator on Pumbaa for The Lion King before returning to Florida to be a director for Mulan. After leaving Disney, Tony developed his Lenny & Sid animated DVD for Toonacious Family Entertainment. He wrote Directing for Animation: Everything You Didn't Learn in Art School from Focal Press in 2013. Tony is teaching animation at Azuza Pacific University while also pursuing filmmaking opportunities.

      Mousecon is an independent Disney themed convention in Concord, CA in November. I was happy to see Tony listed as a guest and contacted him about doing a drawing for me. At the first CTN Animation Expo, Tony drew Mulan for me. This time, I asked for Mulan as she disguised herself as a man to take her elderly father's place in the army. The quiver of arrows is a nice touch. I saw several fine drawings Tony created for fans at the convention.

      Twin brothers Tom and Tony Bancroft grew up wanting to be cartoonists like Charles Schulz. They ended up going to CalArts to study character animation and went to work for Disney Animation Studios even before graduating. Striking out on their own, they've pursued a number of creative endeavors. Tom and Tony host The Bancroft Brothers Animation Podcast. Interview subjects include directors Brad Bird and Pete Docter, animators James Baxter, Andreas Deja, Eric Goldberg, and Glen Keane, designers Brittney Lee, Terryl Whitlatch and Victoria Ying, and actor Ming-Na Wen. My brother's Stuart Ng Books sponsors the podcasts. Tom and Tony are exhibitors at CTNX Animation Expo in November.
