Tom Bancroft: “The Making on an Animator (x2)”

Leanne W. Smith Season 1 Episode 7

What's the difference between copying and truly creating? Tom Bancroft, a former Disney animator now putting Nashville on the animation map, shares why moving past the copying stage is essential for any artist. Tune in to hear how early influences shaped the remarkable careers of Tom and his twin brother Tony (also a Disney animator, hence the (x2) in the title) in this one-of-a-kind partnership: twins with a talent to draw. If you've ever loved a Disney movie, this is your episode.
