I was working on Mucha Lucha as a character designer and doing two pilots at Disney (Pepe The Bull) and Nickelodeon (El Tigre) at night and on the weekends. I remember being so full of hope for the future and equally terrified of letting the muse down. Oh the power of youth and hunger! February 6, 2024^

123. 123.Jorge R. Guiterrez. "Carmen Got Expelled!" Disney pilot (colored animatic) from 14 years ago! Inspired by our childhoods in catholic schools. Thanks to Disney not picking it up for series we got to make The Book of Life, which is now owned by Disney. WELL PLAYED, DISNEY! September 8, 2022^
124. 124.Jorge R. Guiterrez. You can see the color animatic pilot for "Carmen Got Expelled" a rejected pilot we did for Disney TVA back in 2009. At the time we were told it was a bit too edgy for Disney Channel September 2, 2021^
125. 125.Jorge R. Guiterrez. The intro was animated and the rest of this internal pilot was supposed to be colored storyboards but as unusual we went a little nuts. As much as I love Carmen, I'm eternally thankful it didn't get greenlit or we would have never made The Book of Life. So thank you, Disney TVA!!! March 25, 2024^

209. 209.Iger was very serious about it. The Legend of the Three Caballeros team was going to follow up with an Oswald show for steaming. Scripts written, designs done, animation test in hand, and a pilot in production. It was beautiful! Then we got broken up and scattered to the wind. December 26, 2021^
210. 210.Hey gang! Don't be sad about this. Oswald has A LOT of love within Disney. I just wanted to share how serious that love is. I'm sure there will be an Oswald project coming your way in the near future. December 26, 2021^
211. 211.Lots of people jumping to conclusions here. No one is saying there is no Oswald content in development. Just saying MY TEAM'S version has not been in development for a few years. I wanted to share how passionate and serious myself and the folks at Disney are about Oswald. December 28, 2021^
