🎙️ On this episode of the Kingdom of Dreams Podcast, we sit down with renowned character designer Carlos Grangel, whose artistry helped shape some of animation’s most iconic films.
Carlos shares the incredible story of how he landed on Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron—with Jeffrey Katzenberg giving him just 24 hours to decide, despite him never having drawn horses before. He reflects on how director Lorna Cook championed his involvement and offers fascinating insights into the creative process behind designing characters that live on in cinematic history.
Carlos Grangel is a Spanish character designer, storyboard artist, and illustrator known for his work in animation and feature films. He has collaborated with major studios like DreamWorks Animation and Warner Bros., contributing to projects such as Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, The Prince of Egypt, The Road to El Dorado, and Madagascar.
He runs Grangel Studio in Barcelona, where he and his team specialize in character design, visual development, and story concepts for both animation and live-action. One of his most celebrated contributions was designing characters for Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride, which earned critical acclaim for its unique gothic aesthetic.
Grangel is widely respected in the industry for his distinctive style, blending expressive character design with strong storytelling instincts, making him a go-to artist for directors looking to bring animated worlds and characters to life.
