TOM BANCROFT character designer, animator

Illustration Tony Bancroft

Tom Bancroft is one of my heroes.

As I was getting started in Animation, he was a name that kept coming up.

I always remember flipping through Disney art books and seeing model sheets that he had worked on and was blown away and inspired.

Many years later I met him personally at the San Diego Comic Con and was so excited, not only because I respected and looked up to him, but also because he is such a good guy.

Tom has done it all, it is not often that you meet people who can direct for animation, storyboard, design, illustrate and more. He is a Jack-of-all-trades and master of all.

I was honored to be included in one of his books on the art of Character Designing, showing the process from start to finish. Tom had been a true inspiration to me, I am not only proud to have one of his originals hanging in my studio but am also proud to call him a friend.

Tony Bancroft

Tony was accepted into the exclusive, Disney-sponsored art college, California Institute of the Arts (Cal-Arts) in 1987, where he thrived artistically and developed a lifelong passion for animation. Soon after, he realized one of his childhood dreams as he was hired to animate for Walt Disney Animation Studios.

During his 12-year career with Disney Studios, Tony helped create and animate Pumbaa, the lovable warthog in The Lion King;  Kronk, the dim-witted sidekick in The Emperor’s New Groove; Cogsworth the clock from Beauty and the Beast; and  Iago the pestering parrot in Aladdin.

Tony’s most notable accomplishments include being the co-director of Walt Disney’s feature film, Mulan, for which he received the Annie Award for Director of the Year from ASIFA-International; and animation director of Sony’s Stuart Little 2, for which he received the Visual Effects Society’s top award for character animation. Currently, Tony is directing an independent CG animated feature Animal Crackers with an international release of early 2017 and developing another animated feature based on a children’s book entitled East Dragon West Dragon. Also, he has taken his 27 years of animation experience and composited it into a book called Directing for Animation, which released worldwide through Focal Press. He and his twin brother, Tom, recently started a popular podcast about the animation industry called The Bancroft Brothers Animation Podcast, which is available on iTunes.
