The project comes from Pixar veteran Sanjay Patel, who worked on the studio&#8217;s big staples, like Ratatouille and the Incredibles films. Patel&#8217;s short, Sanjay&#8217;s Super Team, was nominated for Best Animated Short Film at the 88th Academy Awards. Like Sanjay&#8217;s Super Team, Ghee Happy focuses on Hindu Deities, but instead of a little human boy discovering them as superheroes, Ghee Happy turns the Gods and Goddesses into children themselves. Taking place at a &#8220;Deity daycare,&#8221; the series will revolve around the little Deities discovering their powers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For the past 25 years I&#8217;ve been working in kids and family entertainment without having kids of my own. Having finally become a parent, I&#8217;m so excited and lucky to be able to create a preschool series that introduces the great pantheon of Hindu Deities, not just into a beautiful and colorful series that is truly entertaining and original to my kiddos, but to families around the world,&#8221; said Patel in a press release. Ghee Happy will join titles such as Rajiv Chilaka&#8217;s Mighty Little Bheem and Dino Girl Gauko from Akira Shigino.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source UNITED STATES, October 9, 2019 (Polygon): Ghee Happy, a playful reimagining of Hindu Deities, is officially slated as Netflix&#8217;s,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16604","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16604","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16604"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16604\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16604"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16604"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16604"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
