The Day, Bancy Studios Changed! - How Michael cleaned up his act

CREATED on Thursday, October 29th, 2015 at 11:26pm Eastern/10:26pm Central

Special Thanks to my mother Jackie Igafo-Te'o and Eric Goldberg and Don Bluth and Gary Goldman and Andrew Steiner and Tony Bancroft for inspiring me to become an independent 2D animation film maker!!!

My Own Halloween 2015 Drawing of Bancy McMouser and Joy Anderson
(Notice that this was drawn on letter-sized bristol board using a Faber-Castell PITT Artist Pen,
A Sharpie Permanent Marker and Color Pencils (Including RED and BLUE Col-Erase Pencils too!)

When I Found Floyd Norman's recent Blog Post about how Floyd changed his ways by leaving his CGI ways and goes back to 2D Traditional Hand-Drawn Animation by getting off his Wacom Cintiq screen computer tablet machine and going back to his KEM Webber "Disney" Animation Desk to draw a picture of Mickey and Minnie on a sheet of Animation Paper and I quote "I Think My 2D Animation will go to old-fashioned techniques instead of everything digital except I'm keeping my Mac OS X copy of "Toon Boom Storyboard Pro" software for the "storyboarding" part of The "Bancy Studio" Style of 2D Traditional Hand-Drawn Animation!! After Reading Floyd's recent Blog Post of October 29th, 2015, I Decided that I, Michael Igafo-Te'o, will be better off with my best animation techniques which are known as "2D Traditional Hand-Drawn Animation" and "Stop-Motion Animation" and, thanks for Floyd's so-called "animation rant", I decided to keep away from that "Frozen" movie and its spin-off short "Frozen Fever" along with keeping away from the upcoming "Frozen 2" and I have no choice but to turn my company, "Michael Igafo-Te'o Animation Studios, from a "Disney Dreamer" to what it would've been as a small, family-owned independent animation studio that approves both 2D Traditional Hand-Drawn and Stop-Motion animation techniques in one studio for "animator's sake"!!!!!!!!" However, I Did Hear the News that Don Bluth and Gary Goldman started their own Kickstarter campaign on creating a 2D traditionally-animated feature film based on Bluth's laserdisc video arcade game entitled "Dragon's Lair: The Movie" and, yes fellow Don Bluth fans, YOU'VE FINALLY WITNESS A HAND-DRAWN ANIMATED MIRACLE FROM DON BLUTH AND HIS TEAM!!! And I'm Proud that 2D Traditional Hand-Drawn Animation is coming back to the motion picture screens with James Lopez's hand-drawn animated steampunk film "Hullabaloo", Glen Keane's "Duet" short film, Andreas Deja's film "Mushka" and many other hand-drawn animated comeback films yet to come including my "Bancy and Company" cartoons and Don Bluth's "Dragon's Lair: The Movie"!!!

Here I Am animating Mike and Michelle's walk cycle as a series of
rough animation drawings -- digital in-betweening included!!
(Notice The Palomino Blackwing 602 in my hand as I tie down the rough drawings!!!)

I'm So Proud of Everyone brining back 2D Traditional Hand-Drawn Animation, this time, in the hands of small studios and independent film makers... including Me and my company dubbed "Michael Igafo-Te'o Animation Studios" for animator's sake!!!

P.S., Happy 107th Birthday, Preston Blair!!!

Hildy Gloom does a "3-Sets-of-Eyes" Wildtake after She
and her beloved man, Grim, both saw a giant Grumpy as he says to them;
"I'M A BIGGEST, MEANEST WRESTLING MACHINE!!", as seen in
an episode of Disney's "The 7D" entitled "Welcome to the Neighborhood"

Dear 2D Animation Fans of My "Animation Stuff and More" Blog,

I Have Discovered that Kelly Collins at my college, The "Torrant and Kit Young Centers" of Jackson, Michigan, U.S.A., has immediately hired Jason Felde as my NEW 2D animation teacher who does both 2D Traditional and 2D Digital animation techniques and it's because "One Crazy Date to Roller Skate" will be Brian Couling's only involvement with Michael Igafo-Te'o Animation Studios' college division dubbed "BancyTOON University" which opened its doors on My first semester at The Torrant and Kit Young Centers back in September 3rd, 2013 even though September 3rd, 2015 was BancyTOON University's 2nd Anniversary and September 3rd, 2016 (next September) will be BancyTOON University's 3rd Anniversary!

My Lithograph Drawing that I've made using "Autodesk SketchBook Express"
pays homage to Mike Patterson and Toby Ratwaller being
"My Original 'Cartoon Teenager meets Cartoon Rat' Slapstick Comedy
Duo since 2015" as drawn on July 18th, 2015

I'm Happy for Traditional Animation to finally reaching its new home with Small Studios and Independent Film Makers of Today...  Including Me!!!

Where's Kim Possible Now? Part 3

Created on Wednesday, October 14th, 2015 at 10:24am Eastern/9:24am Central

"This Shouldn't Happen to a Squid" says Squidward Tentacles

I'm VERY DISAPPOINTED that an episode of "Star vs. The Forces of Evil" replaced the very last rerun of "Kim Possible" and, because of it, I must've thought that Wreck-It Ralph attacked and killed Kim Possible to make me cry (and Ron Stoppable pissed off!) and why it got so bad, I'M NEVER GOING BACK TO FLORIDA BECAUSE MY DAD SAID IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE!!!!!

NONE OF THIS WOULD'VE HAPPENED IF I NEVER WATCHED "WRECK-IT RALPH" ON THE THEATER SCREENS AND ON BLU-RAY+DVD COMBO PACK...    EVER!!!!

"We HATE Wreck-It Ralph because that movie
and the release of that "Frozen" one had both kicked
2D Traditional Hand-Drawn Animation out of
the Disney animation studios" says Herman the Mouse

I HAD THIS HORRIBLE DREAM LAST NIGHT WHERE KIM POSSIBLE GOT KILLED BY WRECK-IT RALPH BY BEING TOSSED INTO THE WILDEBEEST STAMPEDE AND DIED IN THE PROCESS AND, OH NO! BANCY FOUND HER DEAD BODY AND STARTED CRYING AS HE MOURNED FOR HIS LOSS AND WHY IT GOT SO BAD I WOKE UP IN COLD SWEAT AND NEARLY DIED OF A HEART ATTACK WHICH DID NOT HAPPEN AT ALL SO I WROTE THIS BLOG POST AT 10:24am Eastern/9:24 Central THAT NOT ONLY THAT KIM POSSIBLE'S A GONER BUT BECAUSE MY DAD SAID THAT "REVISITING FLORIDA IS TOO EXPENSIVE", MOM AND I HAVE ALREADY DECIDED TO PLAN A DISNEY VACATION CHEAPER THAN FLORIDA WHICH IS ACTUALLY A TRIP TO WALT DISNEY'S HOMETOWN OF MARCELINE, MISSOURI, U.S.A. FOR "ANIMATOR'S SAKE"!!!!    I'M NEVER GOING BACK TO FLORIDA FOR THE LOSS OF KIM POSSIBLE!!!!

P.S., I'M STILL ON MY PERMANENT HATRED ON BOTH "WRECK-IT RALPH" AND THE NOW-EXPANDING "FROZEN" TRILOGY FOR GETTING OLD SCHOOL 2D TRADITIONAL HAND-DRAWN ANIMATION KICKED OUT OF THE DISNEY STUDIOS

Where is Kim Possible Now? Part 2

CREATED on Sunday, October 11th, 2015 at 10:28am Eastern/9:28am Central

"WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED?!?" says Tom

HELP!! SOMEBODY?? ANYBODY???

Kim Possible is...















...DEAD!!!  Because Her Show Got CANCELLED and Her Halloween Special never returned but was replaced by an episode of "Star vs. The Forces of Evil" and, as I type on my damn keyboard...

"You Really Are A Bad Guy to All of Us" says Timon
as He and Pumbaa mourn for the loss of
Old-School Disney Animation after the massive success of
"Frozen" gave this old-fashioned animation technique
"the boot" out of Disney Studios.

..THE BLAME IS ON THAT @$%*!? "WRECK-IT RALPH" MOVIE BECAUSE OLD-SCHOOL 2D ANIMATION GOT KICKED OUT OF THE DISNEY STUDIOS DUE TO THE POPULARITY OF FILMS LIKE "WRECK-IT RALPH" AND "FROZEN" AND EVEN "BIG HERO 6" AND THEY'VE ALREADY BEGAN PRODUCTION ON "FROZEN 2" (a.k.a. "Frozen: The Sequel") DURING THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER 2015 AND THE BAD NEWS IS THAT IT ALREADY KILLED MY SECOND CHANCE TO GO BACK TO WALT DISNEY WORLD IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA, U.S.A. AND I HAD TO "DITCH" IT FOR A FAMILIAR DISNEY VACATION CHEAPER THAN FLORIDA WHICH IS ACTUALLY WALT DISNEY'S HOMETOWN OF MARCELINE, MISSOURI, U.S.A. AND, YES, I'M SORRY FOR MISSING THAT "HOLLYWOOD" EPISODE OF "KIM POSSIBLE" BACK ON LATE SEPTEMBER 2015 AND "WRECK-IT RALPH" IS PARTIALLY THE BLAME, DAMN IT!!! I THOUGHT I WAS NEXT TO DIE FOR BUT I WAS WRONG!!!  I WAS REALLY WRONG!!!!!!!  However, former Disney animator Tony Bancroft said to my Mother; "I got into animation because I loved to draw, still do. I totally want to see 2D animation come back in a big way into feature animation. Do I think that will happen? Yes, I do. I keep hope alive. Do I think it will be Disney or a big studio like Disney that brings it back? No, I don't. I think the future of 2D animation lies with the next generation of small studios and independent film makers. I hope to be in that mix when it happens!"

Goodbye, KP and Ron Stoppable!
See You on DVD Box Set!
(Starts bawling some tears out)

I Thought That Old-School 2D Animation Was DEAD but I Was WRONG because Tony Bancroft already said to my mom that "The Future of Old-School Animation Lies with The Next Generation of Small Studios and Independent Film Makers" and, yes, Like I said already; "Wreck-It Ralph" is partially the blame for our loss of Old-School Disney Animation!!!




Yours Sincerely,

P.S., I'm So Banning that "Wreck-It Ralph" movie for getting old-school 2D animation kicked out of Disney Studios for no reason!!!
