To say that Pixar’s latest animated short Sanjay’s Super Team is unlike any other animated short from a big animation studio would be a vast understatement. On the surface, it may look like a short that is talking about Hinduism, but deep down it has something a bit more meaningful and delivers a very universal message. Director Sanjay Patel and producer Nicole Paradis Grindle were at The Good Dinosaur‘s press day to talk a little bit about the short itself to Geeks Of Doom and our fellow journalists.

During the roundtable interview, we learned about Patel’s experiences that helped inspire the short to become what it is now, how the goal was to give the mass audience a universal message about family, what superheroes Patel used to watch as a kid, and much, much more.
