Famed Animator Leaves Disney Over 'Very Uneasy' Feeling
In this episode of Faith in Culture, host Tré Goins-Phillips sits down with legendary Disney animator Tom Bancroft—the creative force behind Mushu in Mulan and a key artist on The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Brother Bear, and more—and former Superbook producer John Schaffer to talk about their inspiring faith journeys and their brand-new animated Christian movie, Light of the World, releasing September 2025.
Tom shares the powerful story behind his decision to leave Disney because of his Christian convictions, and how his faith has shaped his creative career ever since. John opens up about his time at CBN and what it means to produce biblically rooted content for today’s culture.
