Tony de Rosa grew up in New Jersey, in the town of Cherry Hill. (Eric Goldberg also hails from C.H., which is kind of amazing. Two power animators from the same city.)
Tony, like other animation professionals before him, liked to draw. (News flash!) ...

And Tony knew early on that art was the way he wanted to make his living. His parents were supportive, but thaty wanted him to stay on the east coast, maybe somewhere near home. But Tony had other ideas, and he recounts them here, in Part I of the TAG interview.

THANK YOU!!!! I always wanted to hear stories from that man! I love his Firebird Sprite!
We have a lot more of Tony.
Just wait ...
I met Tony in November over at the Disney studio. Such a nice guy and an incredible animator.
One of my absolute favorite animators and a very approachable, easy to talk to guy. I too met him at the Disney studio in November. His wife is a great animator too.
Tony was my first Supervising animator when I got to Disney and even though he did not know me and my work enough he was very patient and kind and helped me so much with my Sprite scenes for Fantasia 2000.
I am glad we are still friends.
One of the nicest guys working in animation.
