We all have imagined becoming a super hero in our time, especially when we were little kids. Watching all those action heroes on TV allowed our imaginations to run wild. This was true for Pixar Animator, Sanjey Patel. Working with Pixar for 20 years, Sanjay has helped develop some of the amazing features on the big screen.
Growing up as the child of Indian immigrants, Sanjay was exposed daily to the rituals and faithful Hindu practices by his father. Sanjay did not readily embrace the Hindu practices, unlike his father who was tireless and faithful in his practices. Sanjay grew up playing with action figures and watcing superheroes on television,while his father faithfully practiced his daily time of meditation and prayer. Sanjay’s father tried to teach his son these ways at an early age; however, Sanjay balked and would have rather read colorful comics or exciting action cartoons on TV. It wasn’t until years later, as an adult, he would come to learn just how important this was really a part of him and his culture.
