Disney-Pixar Releases First Film With Indian-American Family: Sanjay's Super Team. Disney-Pixar recently released the teaser for the upcoming Sanjay's Super Team. The animated short -- the first from the studio that features an Indian-American family as the main characters -- focuses on a young boy who would rather spend his day watching superheroes on TV than partake in his dad's religious meditation.

Director Sanjay Patel based the short off his real-life experiences growing up as the son to an Indian immigrant in San Bernardino, Calif. Patel has also been involved in other Disney-Pixar projects including Ratatouille, Toy Story 2 and The Incredibles. Sanjay's Super Team will play ahead The Good Dinosaur in theaters starting on Nov. 25. (Eonline)
