Tony Bancroft

[Zeke]

Tony Bancroft was the animator in The Lion King who created Pumbaa and he also drew for many other Disney movies. I just learned that he attended my school. It makes me feel special. In a school news interview, he said that his favorite Disney song was Hakuna Matata and he started singing it. It was funny.

Woah! That's awesome Zeke. ^^ He really is a talented artist too. Must have really killed his hands to animate such a large character over and over again. lol. ^^ It's always cool to know that famous people whent to the same school that you did. ^^ Don't really know of any such incidents for any school I went to, although my high school always held the rumor that the movie Fast Times At Ridgmont High was based around it, but that's a stereotype that I think every high school has. lol. ^^

He did an AMAZING job. I've got to say, TLK has the best animation in my opinion.
