- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. The story of how “The Book of Life” was made by the writer and director.
Born in delicious Mexico City and raised in eclectic Tijuana, Gutierrez attended CalArts, where he received his BFA & MFA in Experimental Animation under Jules Engel. For his thesis film he created the CG short "Carmelo", which won the 2001 Student Emmy Award and was screened at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival. In 2001 he created “El Macho”, his first web series for Sony Pictures Digital.
He has designed characters for several animated series including “Mucha Lucha” for Warner Bros, “The Buzz on Maggie” for Disney and “MAD” for Warner Bros and Cartoon Network. He has also written for various shows at Disney, Scholastic, Warner Bros and Nickelodeon.
In 2005, Gutierrez and his longtime collaborator, muse and wife Sandra Equihua, created the multiple Emmy and Annie winning series “El Tigre, The Adventures of Manny Rivera” for Nickelodeon. Gutierrez is currently directing his life-long dream project “The Book of Life”, a CG-animated feature for Reel FX, Produced by Guillermo Del Toro and Brad Booker. The film, set against a Dia De Los Muertos backdrop, is an adventure inspired by both mythology and Gutierrez’s own life and family. “The Book of Life” is in theaters now from Reel FX and 20th Century Fox.

Jorge and his wife are an inspiration to us all, his closing statements really spoke to me. A very humble and talented individual, I hope he has a long career in movie making. The world needs more dreamers like him!
Can I say I just cried while I was watching this? I'm mexican and I have a dream, this man is mu biggest mexican hero and he inspires me to move on, seriously Jorge and Sandra are so amazing it's so cool what he had to pass through the years but I'm so glad he finally could make everything he wanted (:

I remember seeing this video a few years ago. I remember being intrigued hearing Jorge Gutierrez explain his life story and what inspired him to make The Book of Life. I remember vaugley the show El Tigre. I didn't watch it much. Though i did see The Book of Life. For some reason i feel like El Tigre was one of those shows that was talked about much but when mentioned now it's criticized. But i liked The Book of Life. Gutierrez and the other people did a great job with the movie.
The more I think about it, the more I love The Book of Life. Definitely one of the best movie experiences I've had this year. Bravo, Jorge for tenaciously fighting to get your vision seen.
Jorge! We're so glad you made The Book of Life!!!! Such a heartwarming-and authentic movie made with color and love!
Ah! I was in the audience! That was an amazing experience!
This dude makes me want to spin my belt buckle.
Honoring our great mentor and animation teacher Jules Engel is the brightest story of animator success!
this is so inspiring. :) almost made me cry bc Im in school and Im also majoring in media arts and animation.
Congrats! I recently found this movie, watched the trailer, and will watch it soon. It looks beautiful. I am so inspired by your speech. Blessings to you and your family. ❤️
I WANT THAT TSHIRT
Beautiful. Thank you so much
Grande Jorge! Él y Sandra se merecen el cielo, son hermosas personas y son muy inspiradoras😍🤟
You are an inspiration
The movie is seriously underrated, mainly because of Disney's Coco 😔😔😔
But it is getting a sequel in 2022 so that's something
Even now, bringing to life stories that me and a lot of people can see themselves in and it means the world :-‘)
He came to my shcool today for carrier day
Aww lucky
Did he say anything worth noting
there are just videos about an jorge g. interview about ,,the book of life,, ! why aren't there videos abour ,,el tigre,, ? >.
I think it's pretty ironic how Grandpapi Rivera is a villain because Jorge's abuelo(Grandpapi was based off him) was actually a military general so he defended Mexico.
