Pixar Sanjay Super Team and Indo-American

Pixar: Sanjay, an Indo-American child obsessed with superheroes, breaks that cardinal rule at the start of Pixar Sanjay Super Team, setting up the tension for a kaleidoscopic clash of cultures, according to Toronto Star. The short is the first by Pixar to feature Hindu gods and the first Pixar animation by a director of Indian descent. Anyone who has grown up in a Hindu household knows that you DO NOT watch TV in a room where someone is praying. About time for both. That pigeonholing is reflected on film and TV. The arrival of Mindy Kaling , Kal Penn and Kunal Nayyar is a welcome change in a field largely bereft of South Asian representation, save for Apu on The Simpsons. There are more than three million Indo-Americans , but despite their diversity, the stereotypes of hotel owner or Silicon Valley geek persist. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
