Hindu Gods & Goddesses to Star in Pixar’s Next Short

Pixar’s next animated short, Sanjay’s Super Team, will be released on Nov. 25, ahead of the feature film, The Good Dinosaur. The film is directed by Sanjay Patel, who previously released the delightfully illustrated kids’ book, The Little Book of Hindu Deities. (Note: Pics 2-4 are promo images for the book, NOT images from the Pixar short.)



According to the LA Times, “The seven-minute short begins with young Sanjay watching cartoons and eating cereal in a bland, beige room as his father jingles a bell, beckoning him to join in meditation. Reluctant and bored by the ceremony, Sanjay begins daydreaming a kind of ancient, Hindu version of The Avengers, with the gods appearing like superheroes. As the daydream progresses, the color, light and animation of the film grows increasingly dazzling and cosmic, and Sanjay grows closer to understanding his father’s inner world.“
