Jose Luis Ucha is a Mestizo of many shades. He has lived in Barcelona, Seoul, and Dublin, but was born in Cadiz, a tiny and charming town in the South of Spain made from the combination of a strong ocean, stronger light, and the strongest wind.

After studying cinema and entertainment business management, the last 20 years have been devoted to animation, pursuing making characters and stories with a heart. He has been involved in the creation, development, writing, production, and direction of over 900 episodes of 20 finished animated projects, mostly for kids.

BERNARD won the Best Animation in Anima Mundi 2004 and was the finalist for Best TV Series in Annecy 2005; THE SECRET LIFE OF SUCKERS was awarded Best Series by the Kids’ Jury at Mipcom 2009; CANIMALS got the same Best Series by the Kids’ Jury in Cannes the following year, 2010.

Jose directed together with Rob Cullen the upcoming CG animated movie MY LITTLE PONY: A NEW GENERATION, which is premiering September 2021 on Netflix.
