"A SEA MONSTER ATE MY ICE CRE-EE-EE-EAM!!!"
-- Scrooge McDuck from the "DuckTales" episode entitled "Whale of a Bad Time"

I Found Out that not only that there will be an 73-Hour "Phineas and Ferb" Marathon on Disney XD but it will also end with the 1-Hour Series Finale episode entitled "The Last Day of Summer" and, starting on Autumn 2015, that new hit Disney XD cartoon entitled "Future-Worm!" will replace "Phineas and Ferb" and...

...I HATE "THE JETSONS" BECAUSE OF @$*%!? "FUTURE-WORM!" REPLACING "PHINEAS AND FERB" ON AUTUMN 2015 UNAWARE THAT PHINEAS AND FERB'S CREATORS, DAN POVENMIRE AND JEFF "Swampy" MARSH ARE WORKING ON A NEW DISNEY TV CARTOON HIT ENTITLED "MIKEY MURPHY'S LAW"!!!!!

DISHONOR!!! A Cartoon WHODUNIT Situation

Created on Saturday, May 30th, 2015 at 12:08 PM

"THAT OVERSEAS ANIMATION vs. AMERICAN ANIMATION RIVALRY MUST CEASE TO A PERMANENT END," claimed Bancy, "I'VE HAD ENOUGH WITH THIS MADNESS!!!"

Here's My Interview, this time, with Bancy McMouser and Toby Ratwaller and, yes, Curdie!:

ME - Bancy, What's Eating You These Days???

BANCY - Whatever Just Happened to those Hungarian animators is because [gasps in horror] Disney's "The Lion King" OUTGROSSED THAT "Princess and the Goblin" FILM IN AMERICAN THEATERS BACK ON JUNE 1994 AND ENOUGH IS ENOUGH AND FURTHERMORE...

CURDIE - Uh, Mr. Green Mouse?

BANCY - Who Are You and What Have You Done with Mike Patterson?!

CURDIE: It's Me; Curdie, an old friend from your past!

BANCY - Uh Oh! I'm In Deep Sludge and It's Because of That... That... So-Called Other Film from America which Disney, and those film critics including Leonard Maltin, claimed it as "The Most Highest-Grossing Traditionally Animated Feature Film of 1994"!

TOBY - But, Cousin Bancy, Those Disney Animators Can't Do That! They're Too Valuable for Disney Executives like John Lasseter and formerly Michael Eisner

BANCY - SHUT UP, TOBY!!!

TOBY - WHAT?!

BANCY - COUSIN TOBY, I THOUGHT THAT CURDIE WAS GONE FOREVER IT'S BECAUSE OF THAT EVIL SCAR AND HIS HYENA HENCH-ANIMALS!!!!

TOBY - Oh, God, Help Us!!!

ME - Alright, Boys, Enough! Let This "Old Friend" of yours talk this over with us calmly!

TOBY - Okay!

BANCY - Don't Hurt Me...  I Surrender!

ME - He's not gonna hurt you!

TOBY - He's Here to Talk to You about Our Lives back in '94 when we were Young Rodents!

BANCY - Aw, Drat! Michael,... Release the Flashback from my DVD Copy of its former VHS Camcorder-recorded self!

ME - Okay... [I Put The DVD containing Bancy's "1994" Past after was plotted from its own VHS Tape to the computer and became a DVD of itself then, Even though It's STILL IN COLOR LIKE ITS FORMER VHS TAPE SELF!!!]

[We See VHS Camcorder-recorded footage of Bancy as a 3-1/2 Year Old Mouse wanting to see that "Princess and the Goblin" movie but,...]

CURDIE - This is Bancy as a young 3-1/2 year old toddler...

[...Unfortunately, the film was immediately sold out to make room for "The Lion King" as little 3-1/2 year old Toby was bawling his tears...]

CURDIE - This is Toby, the same age as Bancy, but after My film was sold out for... The Highest Grossing Traditionally Animated Feature Film of 1994...

BANCY - OH NO!

3-1/2 YEAR OLD BANCY [on the video] - Oh, No! What has those Disney animators done to that film [starts bawling his tears out as he and 3-1/2 year old Toby mourn for their "failure"]

CURDIE - This is You and Toby's reaction to your thought that I was dead but...

BANCY'S MOM [on the video] - Mrs. Ratwaller, why is you son and my son both crying?

TOBY'S MOM - [on the video] I Dunno! Maybe that "Princess and the Goblin" movie was sold out for "The Lion King" and They must've thought that Curdie got killed!

[Suddenly, after hearing from Toby's mother He and his cousin Bancy burst into fresh fountains of tears as their mothers take then home but, luckily, the sad part cuts off and we now see Bancy and his Cousin Toby already happy to see "The Princess and the Goblin" on VHS Tape as they root for Curdie as he fights off Froglip, the Goblin King's son]

CURDIE - ...This is you rooting for me finishing off Froglip...

3-1/2 YEAR OLD BANCY - [in the video] C'mon, Curdie! Finish Off That Evil Monstrosity!

3-1/2 YEAR OLD TOBY - Oh No! Somebody do something to get rid of that Goblin menace!

[In the video, Froglip was about to "destroy" Curdie but, luckily, Princess Irene, who was holding onto the rock for safety, clobbers Froglip's foot with her own fist and Froglip screams in pain after feeling his foot being clobbered by Irene's fist then Froglip along with and the Goblin King and Goblin Queen fall down a waterfall to their death]

CURDIE - And That's My Beloved Princess Irene saving my life!

BANCY and TOBY - [watching the video from their childhood] Close Call for you, Isn't It?

CURDIE - Thank You kind, boys, for you Comment!

BANCY and TOBY - You're Welcome, Curdie!

[The Video shuts off after the 1994 montage ends]

ME - There, Boys, That was quite a memory, was it?

BANCY - Of Course! We Both Felt Much Better after such a flashback video! Right, Toby!

TOBY - Of Course!

What's Left of this Interviewing Blog Post of April 2015 is actually Mike Patterson, one of my "BancyToon Superstars", dressed up as Curdie in honor of The Previous "Overseas Animator Appreciation Day" in 2015 and Next Year's "Overseas Animator Appreciation Day" on 2016!

THE END!

P.S., Remember Animation Fans of America and Canada, Coming to Cinemas on June 19th, 2015 is Disney & PIXAR's "Inside Out" and on August 7th, 2015 is the American-Canadian premiere of Aardman Animations' "Shaun the Sheep Movie"!!!

CURSES, AARDMAN!! My Sad Dream

Created on Tuesday, May 26th, 2015 at 6:58 A.M.

HELP!...    SOMEBODY?...  ANYBODY...

Last Night, I Had This HORRIBLE DREAM where My Dad, after hearing about the bad times I've had during May 2015, punished me by not going to see that new PIXAR movie entitled "Inside Out" and, I made my escape from Dad's punishment on me! While I tried to buy the tickets to "Inside Out" with my own money, I've entered a lot of cartoonish obstacles along the way --

1. I Karate-Chopped My OLD 4x3 Standard T.V. (now in Mom's Bedroom) using An Old-Time Cartoon Mallet

2. I Was Given A Bottled Purified Water To Go served for FREE by a person who owns a Truck containing crates of Bottled Purified Water

and 3. I've snuck into the theater auditorium to see "Inside Out" by using the secret entrance; An ADULT-Sized Tube Slide from The Top of The Multiplex Cinema's Building connected from a Target superstore to The Cinema Itself!

But, After What I Saw after finally entering the multiplex was Riley coming back home to her parents in San Francisco when she says to a bus driver "STOP! I WANNA GO HOME!" who'd gladly stops by her San Francisco home where her parents were sad of what they did to ground her was WRONG, I Missed It when the closing credits came on after Joy and Sadness' reunion with Disgust, Fear and Anger and, OH NO! I Was Bawling My Tears Out after I've Found Out that "Inside Out" was SOLD OUT for "Shaun the Sheep" Movie and, suddenly, Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse and Donald Duck and Daisy Duck, Goofy Goof and Max Goof and, oh no, even Joy and Sadness were all feeling sorry for my failure as I mourn for my loss for that new PIXAR movie and It Was Awful that I Woke Up Crying!

The Ultimate Sacrifice for something SHORT...

UPDATED on Monday, May 18th, 2015 at 8:20 PM

Michael Igafo-Te'o (Me on the west side)  meeting my DeviantArt/Facebook Buddy,
Andrew Steiner, (on the east side) in person during The 2013 O.U. Cares Christmas Party at
Oakland University in Oakland County, Michigan - Circa Winter 2013.

I'm SO Sorry about This Problem with making a feature film adapted from the "Princess and Curdie" story because...

...I FAILED!! I'M SORRY!!!

- - - - - - - -

I am Announcing that we have to do something short like an 8-minute short film, not a feature film, this time, of my second "Bancy and Company" cartoon entitled "Adam and Amy that Came to Lunch"!  --  I Know You Have Feelings for reviving Traditional Hand-Drawn Animation after the production of James Lopez's "Hullabaloo" steampunk films and Andreas Deja's film "Mushka" and, yes, I have decided to do an 8-minute "Bancy and Company" cartoon entitled "Adam and Macy that came to Lunch" as Mr. Krabs' whale of a teenage daughter Pearl, from "SpongeBob SquarePants", would say in amazement: "TOTALLY CORAL!"

A Photo of my "Prototype" Animation Desk which is actually an Alan Gordon animation drafting table that I bought from the "B&H Photo and Video" store's online catalogue on Summer 2013 complete with 12-Field Black Acrylic PRO-GRADE Animation Disc that I bought from Cartoon Colour around Christmas 2012. (Notice the "Hidden Mickey" below the bottom peg bar on my 12-Field PRO-GRADE Animation Disc)

As my general update on "Adam and Amy that Came to Lunch":

I'll work on the "story treatment" to my 8-Minute hand-drawn animated "Bancy" cartoon for "animator's sake" between Early Autumn 2015 to Spring 2016. Notice that there will be some changes going on with the actual digital story reel/animatic that I'll work on using this digital storyboarding software called "Toon Boom Storyboard Pro" with my "scratch track" voices.

- - - - - - - -

As I am planning to get into full production on my 8-Minute hand-drawn animated "Bancy" cartoon, entitled "Adam and Amy that Came to Lunch", I am looking for local Michigan 2D animation artists.
- Two Animators, experienced or new - But with high standards.
- Three Inbetweeners, experienced or new - But with high standards.
- Three Clean-Up animators, experienced or new - But with high standards
- One Color Model cel painter for references on Digital Ink & Paint, experienced or new - But with high standards
- One Background painter, experienced or new - But with high standards
- One Animation/B.G. scanners, (people that scan animators' drawings and background paintings for "animator's sake"!) experienced or new- But with high standards.
- One Digital Ink & Paint artist that use "DigiCel FlipBook" and/or "Toon Boom Harmony" - experienced or new - But with high standards.
- Interns

If you are in Michigan and is interested in this idea of an 8-minute hand-drawn animated "Bancy" cartoon, leave your email, and I'll respond.  My mother (Jackie Igafo-Te'o) and I won't be able to pay studio rates but we WILL both pay independent film $ when we save up the money after building my NEW animation desk as well as "restoring" my studio apartment dubbed "Michael Igafo-Te'o Animation Studios"!
