New stills are out from Pixar’s upcoming short, Sanjay’s Super Team. The short film is directed by Sanjay Patel, and is based on his own childhood experiences growing up in an Indian-American immigrant family. The story tells of a boy who, like Patel as a child, is caught between the contemporary world and the traditional Hindu practices of his family. He imagines a superhero team that has been described as “a kind of ancient, Hindu version of the Avengers.”

The short is the first Pixar work to star a character of color, and premiered at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in June 2015. It’s slated to show before the upcoming Pixar film The Good Dinosaur, which debuts in American theaters on November 25th.
