In the first trailer for the short, viewers are introduced to Sanjay, a cartoon-loving kid, and his religious Hindu dad. When Sanjay’s father rings a bell to signify the start of morning prayers, Sanjay is less than eager to tear himself away from his beloved Saturday morning superhero cartoons, a premise which marks the first time the studio has explicity made religion the subject of a film. Helmed by first-time director Sanjay Patel (an animator on _Monster’s Inc._ and _The Incredibles_), the sneak-peek at the short also addresses the intergenerational differences in acculturation, all with a dose of Pixar’s signature gloss. Sanjay will be shown in front of _The Good Dinosaur_, which opens in theaters Nov. 25. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/10/16/pixar-sanjays-super-team) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com) ### You'll Want These New Star Wars Toys Immediately  Star Wars Black Series; Kylo Ren Hasbro  Star Wars Black Series; Rey Hasbro  Star Wars Black Series; Finn Hasbro  Star Wars Black Series; First Order Stormtrooper Hasbro  Star Wars The Force Awakens Armor Up; Chewbacca Hasbro  Star Wars The Force Awakens Armor Up; Poe Hasbro  Star Wars The Force Awakens Armor Up; Finn Hasbro  Star Wars The Force Awakens; 12" Stormtrooper Hasro  Star Wars The Force Awakens; 12" Finn Hasbro  Star Wars The Force Awakens Build a Weapon; Tie Fighter Pilot Hasbro  Star Wars The Force Awakens Build a Weapon; Rebellion Pilot Hasbro  Star Wars The Force Awakens Build a Weapon; Rey Hasbro  Star Wars The Force Awakens Build a Weapon; Kylo Ren Hasbro  Star Wars The Force Awakens Build a Weapon; Capt.
