First Look Poster, Stills, & Clip From Disney/Pixar's Latest Short SANJAY'S SUPER TEAM
Next month, ahead of its latest release The Good Dinosaur, Disney/Pixar will air a very cool new short film, titled Sanjay's Super Team, which sees a young boy reimagining the Hindu Gods as a Hindu version of The Avengers! Check out a first look clip, stills, & the poster now!
From the mind of acclaimed graphic novelist Sanjay Patel comes Disney/Pixar's latest short film Sanjay's Super Team, which follows the story of a young Indian-American boy and his father. The seven-minute short, which premiered at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in France earlier this year, starts with young Sanjay eating cereal and watching cartoons until his father rings a bell and calls him over to join him in meditation.
When they begin, the significance of the prayer is lost on young Sanjay, who quickly begins to daydream about a kind of ancient, Hindu version of Marvel's The Avengers, with the Hindu Gods appearing in the guise of superheroes. As the daydream progresses, Sanjay begins to grow closer to understanding the spiritual significance behind his father's inner world as the film grows increasingly dazzling and cosmic with the animations becoming more vivid with light and color.
Check out the first clip below and keep scrolling for the poster and three stills:
In “Sanjay's Super Team," accomplished artist Sanjay Patel uses his own experience to tell the story of a young, first-generation Indian-American boy whose love for western pop culture comes into conflict with his father’s traditions. Sanjay is absorbed in the world of cartoons and comics, while his father tries to draw him into the traditions of his Hindu practice. Tedium and reluctance quickly turn into an awe-inspiring adventure as the boy embarks on a journey he never imagined, returning with a new perspective that they can both embrace.
