Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Michael_Elliott Sanjay's Super Team (2015) *** (out of 4) Mildly entertaining short from Pixar about a young boy named Sanjay who wants to watch his superheroes on television but his father demands that he join him in meditation. Soon the boy's fantasy takes form as he joins his superheroes in battle.I must admit that I'm a little surprised that SANJAY'S SUPER TEAM was nominated for an Oscar. Well, I guess I shouldn't be surprised since it's from Pixar but I really didn't think this was among their best work. I will say that the animation is certainly the greatest thing going for the film as we get some amazing visuals and especially the colors on the three Hindu gods. The story itself is okay but I really didn't find it to be too special.
FilmBuff1994 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. A young boy starts to daydream about the gods his father expects him to worship as if they were superheroes.
darrenrmuller As parents we are careful to consider the content of the movies that our Children are exposed to. I strongly object to how parents have no warning about what their children are about to be subjected to. I do not consent to my young children's mind being infiltrated with false gods and frightening imagery. My wife had to leave the cinema as our soon to be 2 year old daughter was distressed (as were we!!). My 4 year old son buried his head into the chair as I covered his eyes and tried to protect him from the disturbing voices and images. This is completely unacceptable to take away the rights of the parents. The 'feature' was clearly slipped in just before the movies appearing to be the start of the actual movie we wanted to see. My wife looked at me in shock with what was being portrayed and asked is this part of the movie. Clearly trickery to get peoples guard down and seize the opportunity of a captive audience. I was uncomfortable with the aggressive attempt to force my children to accept this as cool and somehow relevant to them. It is not! And if this was in the movie we paid to see we would have simply walked out. Very concerned about these practices! How dare they?!! I can't fathom how this is okay?!! It seems to be to the point where we can't trust our own screening through watching previews.
atmommy I was very disturbed by how scary the demon character is in this short. It was much too intense for my three and five year old. I wish we could erase this from our minds. My three year old began having nightmares because of this short and The Good Dinosaur. Both are not appropriate for younger audiences. I am upset we had to sit through this for almost ten minutes. It was a dark and scary tale that, I guess was a good match to pair with The Good Dinosaur, as that movie was just as disturbing. I have learned my lesson, no movies for my kids that I don't watch first!I would not recommend anyone with small children who are sensitive to scary things to watch this.
