While Revilla is most widely recognized for his extensive work dubbing live-action film stars and television series, animation was a significant focus of his career, where his versatile vocal range was particularly showcased.

Beyond these specific anime roles, Revilla's career was marked by extensive involvement in Western animation, where he often served as both voice actor and dubbing director. He directed the Spanish dubs for numerous series, including DuckTales, Gargoyles, South Park, Futurama, and both series of Sonic the Hedgehog, in which he also voiced the antagonist Doctor Robotnik. His most iconic and enduring role was providing the Spanish voice for Homer Simpson in The Simpsons from its debut in Spain in 1990 until his death in 2000, a performance for which he also directed the dubbing. His work on The Simpsons was highly acclaimed; the adaptation was noted for its unique style, and in August 2000, 20th Century Fox recognized the Spanish dub as the best in Europe. Revilla's legacy is that of a foundational figure in Spanish dubbing, whose versatile voice became beloved by multiple generations.
