My Take
Jorge R. Gutiérrez has one of the most instantly recognizable visual signatures in animation, and I love him for it. From El Tigre, created with his wife Sandra Equihua, to The Book of Life and Maya and the Three, his work pulses with Mexican folk art, marigolds and dancing skeletons rendered as pure celebration. A CalArts-trained painter who goes by Super Macho, he never sands off his cultural roots to fit a studio mold, and that defiance is precisely his strength. He proves animation can be both deeply personal and universally joyful, which is exactly what the medium needs more of.
