Most recently, the SPA Studios has produced Netflix's first original animated feature film, Klaus, written and directed by Pablos.
[2] Subsequent to his departure from Disney, he was hired as character design supervisor on Stuart Little 3: Call of the Wild for Columbia.
[3] After several more years working in animation production, Pablos created the Despicable Me franchise based on his original screen story Evil Me and his own art design.
In 2010, Despicable Me—starring Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Kristen Wiig, Miranda Cosgrove, Will Arnett, and Julie Andrews—was a box office success, received a Golden Globe nomination, and became one of animation's highest-grossing movies.
Pablos continued work as a character designer on another animated feature, Rio for 20th Century Fox, which was released the following year.
