Sanjay Patel\'s animated short, \"Sanjay\'s Super Team\", which tells the story of an immigrant community and \"a family of colour\", is up against movies like \'Bear Story\' and \'World of Tomorrow\' for the Best Animated Short Film at this year\'s Oscars. The Indian-American Pixar artist and director says it feels special just to be in the company of \"incredibly deserving\" nominees.

The world is eagerly waiting to see who will walk away with the prestigious statuette at the 88th Academy Awards, to be held in Los Angeles on February 28. And Indians have a reason to cheer as Patel, who has roots in Gujarat, is pitted against \"Bear Story\", directed by Gabriel Osorio, \"World of Tomorrow\", helmed by Don Hertzfeldt, Richard Williams\'s \"Prologue\" and \"We Can\'t Live Without Cosmos\", directed by Konstantin Bronzit.
