Whatever Happend to Joy Anderson? - My NEW Fanfic Interview with Bancy McMouser

Created on Tuesday, April 28th, 2015 on 3:10 A.M.
Whatever happened to that "Pre-Release" sneak preview of Disney & PIXAR's "Inside Out" during
"The 2015 Radio Disney Music Awards" at 8pm on Sunday, April 26th, 2015, after was REPLACED by
a different PIXAR flick entitled "Brave"...  THAT PROBLEM MEANT "TO DIE FOR"!!!
Before Bancy McMouser and I begin our "imaginary interview", let me do the talking first, please!...

...I WAS SO OFFENDED -- TO MY TEARS -- THAT A RIVAL STUDIO'S HALF GHOST/HALF TEENAGER CHARACTER (Butch Hartman's "Danny Phantom" for Butch Hartman's "Billionfold Studios" under authorities of Nickelodeon Animation Studios) NEARLY ATTACKED JOY (The Blue-Haired Joyful Female Emotion from Disney & PIXAR's "Inside Out") AND SHE WAS SENT TO THE HOLLYWOOD HOSPITAL'S TOON DIVISION BECAUSE OF THAT "DANNY PHANTOM" CHARACTER'S ATTEMPTED ACT OF "ASSAULT ON FEMALE" THAT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH SO, BECAUSE I MUST'VE THOUGHT SHE WAS DEAD, I WAS CRYING MY TEARS OUT!!!
(Either that or The Crying also happened as I could barley hear the sound of Act One of "The Grand Canyon Suite" being played in my head!)

Alright, ENOUGH TOON-SLAUGHTER COMMENTS!!! BANCY, LET'S GET ON WITH THIS INTERVIEW, DOGGONE IT!!!
----
Michael Igafo-Te'o - "Bancy, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF ABOUT THAT RIVAL TOON'S ATTEMPTED ATTACK ON JOY?!?"
Bancy McMouser - "SHUT UP!!! You Know We HATE Danny Phantom for Crying Out Loud!"
Michael Igafo-Te'o - "...And, In Order to 'Beat Up' Danny Phantom, We've Ditched His Show for that "SpongeBob" cartoon due to the humor in "SpongeBob" for Animator's Sake!!!"
Bancy McMouser - "I KNEW IT!!! You're Right!! We Ditched "Danny Phantom" for "SpongeBob" because the humor in that "SpongeBob" cartoon is, it's on the tip of my tongue, Oh, Yes... [grabs his creator, Michael Igafo-Te'o, by his shirt collar] DANGEROUSLY FUNNY!!!"
Michael Igafo-Te'o - [forces Bancy to let go of his shirt collar] "Well, [chuckles] that's right! My Brother, Sebastian -- also known as "Bashy" -- is right... SpongeBob is DANGEROUSLY FUNNY!! Funny Enough to 'Tickle Your Funny Bone'!!!"
[Then Bancy and his creator, Michael Igafo-Te'o, laugh themselves silly by watching the camping episode of "SpongeBob" where Squidward gets attacked off-screen by the Sea-Bear, just to make Michael and Bancy laugh themselves silly that is!]

Signed,
MICHAEL IGAFO-TE'O (Creator of "Bancy and Company")
and BANCY McMOUSER (Michael's Very First Cartoon Creation since 2003-ish)

P.S., Try Harder when You get a chance to see Disney & PIXAR's "Inside Out" on the BIG screen on Summer 2015!

My Gifted Drawings from Eric Goldberg

Created on Friday, April 24th, 2015 at 7:06 P.M.
Well, I Am Surprised that My Package from veteran Disney animator Eric Goldberg finally came in the mail on This Day on April 24th!!!
Here, Let Me Demonstrate for Animator's Sake --




I've Once Wrote Eric Goldberg a Fan Letter with matching drawing -- completed by Me on 10-Field Animation Paper -- and, yes, I've sent it to him then, while I was waiting for that doggone package, the other one came in first which is actually a "behind-the-scenes" booklet on The Oscar-winning Disney Animated Short Film of 2012 entitled "Paperman"!!!
Then, As of April 24th, 2015, I've Finally Received my Package from Eric Goldberg!!! WE'RE NUMBER ONE AND SO IS THE MODERN-DAY RETURN OF TRADITIONAL HAND-DRAWN ANIMATION!!!!  Originally, That Same Morning, I Was Bored after a FAILED attempt to record a re-run of "Kim Possible" on Thursday, April 23rd, 2015 and, while I was about to eat my lunch of 2 slices of leftover Deep Dish Pizza from Thursday Night while My Sister came home that same night, (luggage and all) I heard Mom's shriek claiming that IT has arrived at The Michael Igafo-Te'o Animation Studio Headquarters then, when I closed my eyes, I realized that My Package from Eric Goldberg FINALLY CAME!!! And, Besides the two letters that Mr. Goldberg wrote for Me and My Mom, Those Gifted Drawings within the package itself are...
No. 1 - My Request from Eric Goldberg of Fix-It Felix Jr. and Mickey Mouse giving each other a "High Four-and-a-Half" whose caption above them reads "Technology meets Art"
P.S., Notice the ACME Peg Holes on the bottom of this of my three gifted drawings that were drawn with pencil on 12-field animation paper entirely by Eric Goldberg himself
--------------------
No. 2 - My Second Gifted Drawing from Eric Goldberg, this time, of Louis the Alligator from Disney's "The Princess and the Frog" waving hello to me!
--------------------
No. 3 - My Third Gifted Drawing from Eric Goldberg with Aladdin's hilarious BFF, the Genie!
----
In BELATED-yet-Loving Memory of
ROBIN WILLIAMS
(1951-2014)
--------------------
I'm Glad That I'm Mounting each Drawing in its own large format photo frame that will be purchased in a set of four the my entire package from Eric Goldberg from Michaels in its low price!

P.S., Good Luck on your 60th Birthday on May 1st, 2015, Eric Goldberg!!!

No Ifs, Ands or Whatevers

CREATED on Sunday, April 19th, 2015
An Example of a "Roger Rabbit"-stylized Mixed Media Collage Artwork of Bancy with Mabel Pines,
Donald Duck's Nephews, (Huey, Dewey and Louie) and Tom the Cat surrounding Me as I was listening to
The 1996 "Brian Setzer Orchestra" Edition of the "AristoCats" song "Everybody Wants to Be a Cat"
which this 11-inch by 17-inch collage (developed on Autodesk SketchBook Express for the Digital 2D Drawings and
MS PowerPoint for the Live-Action Photo combined with the Digital 2D Drawings on a MacBook Pro laptop)
of Me with the toons under the "Bancy Gets REAL!" series entitled "Michael's Top Toons on The Loose!"
Sorry about the half-month delay but, this time, I've posted this final blog article for April 2015 and, of course, not only I've "ditched" that "Danny Phantom" to rediscover "SpongeBob SquarePants" on HD DVR (including "Skill Crane" and "The Krabby Chronicle") but I've also went on community outings to Marino's Pizza and More on Parnall Road in Jackson, Michigan and Chuck E. Cheese's of Lansing, Michigan during my girlfriend Hannah "Savannah" Garcia's 20th Birthday (even though Hannah is my female fiance) and, yes, Target at The Jackson Crossing Mall (after Target HQ's system finally got fixed and is rid of hackers) and McDonald's at West Avenue in Jackson, Michigan even though that McDonald's use to have a smaller "PlayPlace" soft play area but The Michigan Avenue Location in Jackson still has a PlayPlace soft play area -- unless that NEW "PlayPlace" soft play area already is taking over the old one?
An Actual Screenshot of a Eric Goldberg scene in The 1994
"Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote" Cartoon entitled
"Chariots of Fur" even though Eric Goldberg was given
a fake name by an executive of Chuck Jones Enterprises as
"Claude Raynes" -- Note that Wile E. Coyote is
about to get flattened with a boulder on top of his head!

I'm Currently working my Tradigital Animated student short film entitled "One Crazy Date to Roller Skate!" which is based on my "Bancy and Company" ideas and those ideas will be later used for my full 8-minute hand-drawn animated cartoon entitled "Adam and Amy that Came to Lunch" where that film reveals that Mike Patterson has two twin sibling cousins, Adam and Amy Foxworthy, visiting from Jefferson City, Missouri -- even though that "Mouser City, Missouri" is a fictional city which is actually a combined caricature of "Traverse City, Michigan" and "Culver City, California" -- but unfortunately, Adam and Amy Foxworthy are driving Toby Ratwaller crazy while Bancy McMouser is relaxing in a hot tub at the BancyToon Filmworks animation studio's "indoor swimming pool" section of its "Cafe and Fitness Center" area -- until Mike stops the madness just in time!   Also, the tools to make an 8-minute hand-drawn animated short film are --
1. 7,000 Sheets of Pre-Punched Animation Paper (10-Field (8.5" x 11") or 12-Field (10.5" x 12.5") with your peg hole choice of "Acme" or "3-Round" or even "2-Round")
2. 50 Graphite Pencils (Palomino Blackwing and/or Dixon Ticonderoga or any other brand)
3. 50 Col-Erase Pencils ("RED" or "BLUE")
4. An Animation Light Box (10-Field or 12-Field)
5. A Line Tester Copy Stand (Buy One from rather Lightfoot or B&H Photo and Video or Make Your Own using wood, metal, a spare peg bar (ACME or 3-Round or 2-Round) and a Mint-Conditioned Webcam that runs on HD Quality
6. Animation Software for Digital Ink & Paint ("DigiCel FlipBook Lite" or "DigiCel FlipBook Studio" or "TVPaint Animation")
And, A WHOLE LOT OF INSPIRATION!!!!

Danny Phantom's a Goner!

CREATED on Friday, April 3rd, 2015 at 5:56 PM


An OLD Jose-Ramiro drawing of Bancy having a "nightmare"
involving Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable being attacked
to their unwanted bloody death by Danny Fenton
much to Bonkers D. Bobcat's tears!
I'm Very Disappointed that Dad was playing the "Call of Duty Ghosts" video game (Rated "M" for Mature) and My Mom was watching CBS instead of letting me watch "Phineas and Ferb" so DANNY PHANTOM IS FIRED FOR BETRAYING ME BY ATTACKING KIM POSSIBLE and RON STOPPABLE and THEY HAD TO BE SENT TO THE TOON HOSPITAL TO GET REVIVED WHILE DANNY FENTON (a.k.a. DANNY PHANTOM) GETS LOCKED UP IN TOON JAIL FOR "THIRD DEGREE FEMALE ABUSE"!!!!






ALSO, I'VE DITCHED THAT "DANNY PHANTOM" CARTOON TO REDISCOVER "SPONGEBOB", THIS TIME, ON HD DVR!!!  THERE'S NO WAY I'M GOING BACK TO BEING PUBLIC ENEMY NO. 1 LIKE ON THAT "DANNY PHANTOM" CARTOON AND I ALREADY HATED "DANNY PHANTOM" FOR HIS GUTS!!!



Yours Sincerely,
MICHAEL A. IGAFO-TE'O - Animator with Autism
P.S., I Also Hated "Wreck-It Ralph" because THAT MOVIE was INDIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for "Phineas and Ferb" being absent for "Penn Zero Part-Time Hero" for God's Sake!!!

Bancy and Fix-It Felix are on TRIAL?!?



A Hand-Drawn Sketch (using a purple "Crayola" erasable colored pencil for
the construction lines and a #2B pencil for the graphite lines) of Bancy
charging after Fix-It Felix Junior (well, after "Penn Zero" cancels "Phineas
and Ferb" on Disney XD) as he clubs him on the head with a wooden
baseball bat much to Joy's panic-attack! (notice the ACME peg holes)
One Spring Day, on Saturday, March 21st, 2015, Bancy McMouser was about to turn on the HDTV monitor to make sure that "Phineas and Ferb" is still on the air but it was too late when - OH NO! - "Penn Zero Part-Time Hero" has cancelled Phineas and Ferb's show and, as I type on my doggone keyboard, the blame was on that "Wreck-It Ralph" movie because not only Jared Bush and Sam Levine created that "Penn Zero" cartoon but Sam Levine was one of the people that worked on "Wreck-It Ralph" and Jared Bush is already placed as co-director for that upcoming "Zootopia" movie!  So this, of course, PISSED Bancy off as he is hell-bent for revenge against Fix-It Felix Junior when he starts chasing him with a wooden baseball bat to hit him on the head with it and, OH NO!  Security was called on and now Bancy and Fix-It Felix was put on TRIAL by order of the Council of Toons taking Joy (from Disney & PIXAR's "Inside Out") as Bancy's lawyer!

GOOFY GOOF: Fix-It Felix, Did You Really Stalk Bancy?!?
FIX-IT FELIX JUNIOR: But Bancy hit me with a baseball bat and--
BANCY McMOUSER: OBJECTION, I SAY, OBJECTION!
DONALD DUCK: Sustained!
FIX-IT FELIX JUNIIOR: [Screams in Horror]
BANCY McMOUSER: I Have the Evidence on How This Happened --
[pulls out a DVD labeled "P&F on HDTV Before and After" and as he turns it on, it is a slideshow video of the "Phineas and Ferb" cartoon show before "Penn Zero" became popular in a shameless grab for successful ratings]
BANCY McMOUSER: Here's Kim Possible dating Ron Stoppable for the first time as seen on "Kim Possible the Movie - SO The Drama"...
[First Images slides away for Second Image]
BANCY McMOUSER: Here's Phineas and Ferb meeting KP and Ron...
[Second Image slides away for Third Image]
BANCY McMOUSER: Here's Phineas and Ferb already Disney XD's biggest toon stars but...
[Third Image slides away for Fourth Image where we see a teenaged Phineas and a teenaged Isabella already in love after the episode took place 10 years into the future]
BANCY McMOUSER: After "Act Your Age" was Phineas and Ferb's very last episode it was CANCELLED only to be replaced...
[Fourth Image slides away for the Fifth Image]
BANCY McMOUSER: ...with "Penn Zero Part-Time Hero" -- THAT NEW TOON ON DISNEY XD AND I HATE THAT WRECK-IT RALPH MOVIE FOR ITS GUTS!!!
[Goofy Goof hits a wooden coaster with his gavel]
GOOFY GOOF: We, the Council of Toons, have declared that Bancy and Fix-It Felix, after it turns out it was a mistake,...
BANCY McMOUSER: Huh?
FIX-IT FELIX JUNIOR: What?!
GOOFY GOOF: ...they are both NOT GUILTY!
BANCY McMOUSER: YAY!!!!
JOY: Excellent Work, Mr. McMouser!
FIX-IT FELIX JUNIOR: Uh-Oh! Goofy?
GOOFY GOOF: A-hyuck! Yes, Mister?
FIX-IT FELIX JUNIOR: Does this mean I have to go back to my actual job at The Roy E. Disney Animation Building in Burbank, California?
MICKEY MOUSE and DONALD DUCK: [altogether] YES!!!
FIX-IT FELIX JUNIOR: YIPE! Ms. Calhoun?
TAMORA JEAN CALHOUN: Short Guy? Are You OK?
FIX-IT FELIX JUNIOR: Since We're A Married Couple, well...
[Fix-It Felix and Calhoun kiss each other on the mouth]
JURY: [In Awe] AWWW, Ain't That Love?
PHINEAS FLYNN: Yes, Yes It Is!
FERB FLETCHER: Well, Looks Like Our Work Here is Done! Right Mr. "I'm The New Toon on The Block"?
PENN ZERO: [to Ferb] Uh, Yes?
[Crowd and Jury altogether cheer and applause]

THAT'S IT FOR THE LAST OF THESE BLOG ARTICLES FOR MARCH 2015!!!

I Am Proud to re-celebrate Michael Igafo-Te'o Film Productions' 8th Anniversary -- even though we're working on budgeting the money for renovating that small family-owned animation production company!  We did put a little 8-minute "behind-the-scenes" mockumentary short film on the process of traditional hand-drawn animation before and after as our plushie buddies (Bancy the 1st, Bancy the 2nd, Ollie "Bancy's Dad" the 1st and Vanellope von Schweetz) starting with a little musical opening whose song is actually the reprise of "Real in Rio" from Blue Sky Studios' "Rio" (produced by 20th Century Fox Studios) and, yes, we've already launched BancyTOON Podcast and its debut video which is actually the very first episode of my "BancyTOON Drawing Class" tutorial video series where I teach fellow cartoonists how to draw "Elastigirl" -- also known as "Helen Parr" -- from Disney & PIXAR's 2004 computer animated superhero movie entitled "The Incredibles"!!!
