Debuting in front of The Good Dinosaur later this year, Pixar’s latest short, the autobiographical Sanjay’s Super Team, serves as the directorial debut of Sanjay Patel, whose 20 year career in animation includes work on The Simpsons before joining Pixar as an animator/story artist with A Bug’s Life. USA Today have our first look at the short, and as you can see it looks absolutely beautiful, mixing together the style of American super heroes with deities from Hindu culture as a young Sanjay daydreams, namely the monkey-like Hanuman, the goddess of power and protection Durga, and the blue skinned Vishnu.
As much as I love anything Pixar puts out (though I find myself very cold regarding The Good Dinosaur considering its problems), the shorts are usually what ends up blowing me away, the animation giant using them to test out new styles and talent. This particular output has been absolutely amazing over the years, with the likes of For The Birds, Lifted, and Day & Night, and just from these two pictures Sanjay’s Super Team seems to be continuing on the right track.
The Good Dinosaur is released in the U.S. on 25th November and 27th November on this side on the pond.
