From the mind of acclaimed graphic novelist Sanjay Patel comes Disney/Pixar's latest short film Sanjay's Super Team, which follows the story of a young Indian-American boy and his father. The seven-minute short, which premiered at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in France earlier this year, starts with young Sanjay eating cereal and watching cartoons until his father rings a bell and calls him over to join him in meditation. When they begin, the significance of the prayer is lost on young Sanjay, who quickly begins to daydream about a kind of ancient, Hindu version of Marvel's The Avengers, with the Hindu Gods appearing in the guise of superheroes. As the daydream progresses, Sanjay begins to grow closer to understanding the spiritual significance behind his father's inner world as the film grows increasingly dazzling and cosmic with the animations becoming more vivid with light and color.

This November, Pixar Animation Studio artist Sanjay Patel will bring his vision to the world. “Sanjay’s Super Team” — a seven minute short film — will play in from of Pixar’s “The Good Dinosaur.” Growing up as an Indian American in the 1980s, Patel lived into two worlds: one dominated by Saturday morning superhero cartoons, and one rooted in the Hindu rituals of his family. It’s those colliding cultures Patel will bring to the screen with “Sanjay’s Super Team.” From the La Times: The seven-minute short begins with young Sanjay watching cartoons and eating cereal in a bland, beige room as his father jingles a bell, beckoning him to join in meditation. Reluctant and bored by the ceremony, Sanjay begins daydreaming a kind of ancient, Hindu version of "The Avengers," with the gods appearing like superheroes.

Yay Pixar! The animation studio has unveiled a first look at fun some concept art from the new short film Sanjay's Super Team, which is showing in front of The Good Dinosaur in theaters later this November. The short will premiere officially at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in France, which is why they're drumming up some buzz with some good publicity. This story comes from the La Times, and profiles Sanjay Patel, an artist at Pixar who graduated to director with his short film that is inspired by his own youth, and The Avengers (perfect timing!). I wish we got to see them as they appear in this (does this count as Pixar's first Marvel short film?), alas this is just him eating cereal. See Sanjay's concept art below. Here's the first bit of concept art revealed by the La Times for Pixar's new short film...

If you dread Monday mornings, you might feel better upon seeing how the doctors in a new drama series start their weeks.
Based on a novel by Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent, TNT's "Monday Mornings" -- executive produced by David E. Kelley ("Boston Legal," "Ally McBeal") and appropriately premiering on a Monday, Feb. 4 -- centers on a ritual for the surgeons at a Portland, Ore., hospital. Each Monday, Chelsea General's quietly fearsome chief of staff (played by Alfred Molina) cross-examines them about operations they've performed ... with the questioning particularly intense if they were unsuccessful.
Jamie Bamber ("Battlestar Galactica") and Jennifer Finnigan ("Better With You") portray two of the doctors, whose personal involvement makes them even more a mutual support system in the face of being interrogated on their professional decisions and actions. Ving Rhames ("Pulp Fiction") also stars as the hospital's trauma chief, with Bill Irwin, Emily Swallow,...
