Customer Reviews
A must listen for artist and lovers of animation!
I’ve been listening to this podcast for the past 5 years and have loved and enjoyed every episode! Love the banter between Tom and Tony and their passion for animation. So many great insights to the industry and such great learnings from all of their guests. One of my favourite podcast! Keep it up!
Absolutely recommend!
My love for animation and Disney lead me to find a Glen Keane interview on this podcast, which I’ve overplayed now. Two years later I’ve stayed for the Bancroft brothers because I loved their humour and their hearts.
I am astounded that not only did Tony help direct my favourite Disney movie of all time, but that they share the same faith as me. I’m very thankful as a student and a Christian and I appreciate this podcast.
I always play this when I draw or study and I always end up laughing or intrigued! Lots of love xx Keep it up!
