Description

Tony Bancroft started with one year and one semester at Cal Arts before joining Disney's then-new Florida studio. This is a clean up animation drawing for the Roger Rabbit short Roller Coaster Rabbit when he was an assistant animator. Tony offered the drawing in September to coincide with the virtual event LightBox Expo. The main image is cropped from a larger animation paper and the corner timing notes are included as an additional image. 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. He co-directed Animal Crackers on Netflix with his friend Scott Christian Sava. Tony founded the animation program at Azuza Pacific University.

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 and Lightbox Expo in September.

Bancroft gives Roger a great deal of human characteristics in the upper body, but that leg position is that Thumper rabbit leg shake.
