I think by now (Oscar night) I have seen 4 out of 5 nominees in the animated short film category and I find it very surprising that the Disney/Pixar entry is apparently the worst of these. Of course the ending is kinda nice, but everything before that is just all style over substance. We all know that Pixar can easily pump millions of dollars even into small 7-minute films like this one, but in this case money cannot guarantee a good film or story and I must say writer and director Sanjay Patel came short in that regard. It's a mix of superhero film and religion, a challenging quest, but this little tale on Hinduism and how the next generation may perceive it did not really work out in my opinion. Surprised to see this one is the Oscar front-runner and I truly hope one of the more deserving entries (go Don Hertzfeldt!) will take the crown in a couple hours. I do not recommend "Sanjay's Super Team". Certainly a contender for Pixar's worst to date.
