EMERYVILLE, Calif., Oct. 16 (UPI) — Pixar has released the first teaser trailer for its latest short film, Sanjay’s Super Team, expected to show ahead of The Good Dinosaur next month.
A directorial debut of Pixar animator Sanjay Patel, the autobiographical short explores a child’s fascination with superheroes in contrast with his father’s dedication to his faith. The 30-second clip brings the audience inside the father-son duo’s home as they begin their rituals — Sanjay turning on the television to watch his favorite hero cartoon, and the father ringing a bell to commence Hindu prayers.
According to Buzzfeed India, the rest of the seven-minute short film, previewed for press several weeks ago, shows Sanjay re-imagining Hindu gods as super heroes. It is the first Pixar film helmed by an Indian-American director and is arguably among the first to delve so deeply into a director’s own history.
