director of The Book of Life, creator (with muse Sandra Equihua) of El Tigre, creator of Maya And The Three, director of I, Chihuahua & “dev things” at Netflix
found more character designs we did for this film done in Mexico after El Tigre but before The Book of Life. I adore the muse's witch designs. The film was originally going to be done in flash.
I was just talking in an animation class about implied story in character design clothing. For grown up Manolo, he picked a black matador outfit. Why? Because black is the most used mariachi outfit color. Even as a matador, Manolo is telling us who he really is. Skulls everywhere…
Lord Mictlan and Lady Micte wedding flashback for #MayaAndTheThree with cameo appearances from some familiar gods from The Book of Life. It took some convincing but eventually our friends at Disney allowed it.
Congrats to Mike Roth and entire cast and crew on Merry Little Batman!!! It's so rebelliously heartfelt and ridiculously gorgeous. And shout out to legend for his B&W wood-cut sequence!!!
