Sanjay's Super Team is a decent short film with a reasonably well developed storyline and stunning animation. It certainly has traits that I enjoyed, mainly the relationship between the young boy and his father, I think we can all relate to it in a way, we all had our parents trying to get us involved in certain things when we were younger that we simply had no interest in, and this is the part of the short I liked the most. The main reason I'm giving this short a rating of six is because it goes off on a tangent when the young boy starts daydreaming and the message of the film is completely lost, it gets boring and a little frustrating as he starts to imagine the gods he is supposed to be worshiping as if they were superheroes. I think they should have given the characters voices, I know silent characters normally work for Pixar in short films, but this time around I feel the message, the story and the overall relationship between these two characters would have been much more clear had they been interacting with each other, not necessarily big lines, just a word here and there to convey the message more. The animation is stunning and it's definitely not a waste of seven minutes if you're a fan, but as regards to compelling and captivating short films, I have come to expect much more from Pixar.
