Sanjay’s Super Team 4.5 Yaps This terrific short from Walt Disney showcases one of their rising animation stars, Sanjay Patel, who directed “Sanjay’s Super Team” based on his own childhood as an Indian-American. Obsessed with superheroes and TV, Sanjay at first does not heed his father’s call to Hindu prayers. Then, in a daydream, he manages to morph the three primary protectors of the faith with super-powered beings who do battle with a shadowy villain. It’s a lovely commentary on melding traditional spiritual outlooks with modern technology, and entertaining to boot.
