humble beginings, now history.

An important piece of animation history and a cute little story in general.

The short focuses on two living table lamps and a ball.

The short is charming and cute. It shows pixars craft when it comes to the fine details of shadows and lighting and also that they rarely can make a movie without using an interesting concept.

They could easily have made this short (that essentially is a demo) very generic and boring in terms of it's story. But makes a cute little animation that creates a iconic image that is in their logo to this day.

I'll recormend you to give it a watch and keep in mind that this is one of the most iconic animation studios humble begining.
