PixMinis Episode 33: Sanjay's Super Team

In preparation for Lightyear, Arun and Patricia decide to bring
PixMinis back where they look back on a Pixar short every day
until July 12.


In this episode, they discuss about the 2015 Pixar short Sanjay's
Super Team which paired up with The Good Dinosaur. Sanjay is
watching his favorite superhero show while his dad wants him to
kneel and pray to the Hindu gods Vishnu, Durga, and Hanuman. When
he accidentally fans the flames away from the candle, he imagines
the smoke as the demon Ravana and the gods as superheroes. 


The short, while being nominated for an Annie and an Academy
Award for Best Animated Short Film, has since been overlooked
compared to other Pixar shorts. It hasn't helped that it was
paired up with The Good Dinosaur, the lowest grossing Pixar film
ever and one of the most disliked films of the lineup. Does the
short follow the same or is it an overlooked gem? Listen and find
out.
