Tom Bancroft
Artist | Professional | Film & Animation
United States
I'm a former Disney supervising animator (Mushu from Mulan and a few others) as well as director at Big Idea Productions (Veggietales) for a couple years. For 7 years I co-owned an illustration/animation development studio, Funnypages Productions just outside of Nashville, TN.

I am now working on my own freelancing and doing other contract work for TV, film, comics children's books, video games and other kids stuff!

I wrote and drew 4 issues of my creator- owned series, "Opposite Forces". Also, I wrote and illustrated the character design instructional book "CREATING CHARACTERS WITH PERSONALITY" through Watson-Guptill publishing. My next book "CHARACTER MENTOR" comes out in 2012 from Focal Press publishers.

If you were to take an online drawing based ART CLASS from an industry pro (not necessarily me, btw) what class would you take FIRST? (You can only pick one, sorry)

hello sir, I have a question to ask you.

Lately my school has been telling the 11th graders (that's the grade i'm in now) to search for the colleges they want to go to. I want to go to an visual arts college cause I want to study animation and cartooning. I've done research and found a few good ones. But do you know any good ones in the U.S.? Maybe the college you went to or others that may seem good for the fields I am looking for?

i went to California Institute of the Arts, which is still a good school for animation. Other's that are good are: Savannah College of Arts and Design, Columbus College of Arts and Design, Ringling School, Academy of Art in San Francisco and a few others I can't think of.

Greetings sir!
I'm a freshman at the Savannah College of Art and Design, and recently attended a Q&A session with professors John Webber and Troy Gustafson. Your name came up more times than I can count, and it was insanely inspiring to hear about the work everyone did in (to name the most powerful example) Mulan.

Thank you for just breathing air and living your life! You're a walking talking idol!

HA, thanks so much. I like breathing, so I'll try to keep that up at least. Yeah, John and Troy are great. You didn't mention it, but I assume they said NICE things about me?
