Guillermo Miranda & Javier de la Chica

Contanimation Films is the Madrid studio run by directors Guillermo Miranda and Javier de la Chica. Its biography describes de la Chica’s experience directing more than 100 animated-series episodes and Miranda’s background in television editing, 3D, VR and medical animation.

Why follow these directors

Their anthology Contanimation TV starts with a specific storytelling choice: show the world as Don Quixote experiences it. That makes visual invention serve a character’s point of view, with comedy emerging when his imagined heroism collides with Sancho’s understanding of events.

The named collaborators on The Sorrowful Figure also make the studio useful to follow as a team-based production practice. Storyboards, voices, composition, editing and sound have identifiable contributors. AI animation is one credited part of that work, rather than a substitute for explaining who made the film.
