Luxo Jr.

I find it amazing that a film which is a minute and a half long, with one fixed camera position, can have such a strong story and characters. And these characters don't even talk! It's all about the animation. I can almost see the delight on Luxo Junior's face (although he doesn't have a face) as he leaps after that giant ball at the end of the film. Likewise, I love Luxo Senior's surprised double take as he sees the ball come bouncing towards him, and then his exasperated head shake as his son passes him by. It was a good idea for Lasseter to start out with mechanical objects. He could start slow and work his way to working more with facial expression.

Two lamps one big and one small. The small one plays with a ball while the other lamp look at it playing. Pixar uses this partial lamp style for their company logo. This is the short film that started it all for Pixar. A nice companion piece to Toy Story 2.

Very good, this short is undoubtedly my favorite short, the animation is very good, the story is very funny and the concept of a chair playing with a ball is very good. Highly recommend.

Of all the short films that Pixar made prior to Toy Story, this one holds up the best today. It has a lot of the hallmarks of the company-the lamps' *character* come through the animation; it blends comedy with pathos. And the animation in itself feels alive and fluid, unlike say Andre and Wally B. I still get a chuckle out of the short every time I watch it.

This is Pixar's first official short film. The first one done when Pixar became an official company. This short shows why their mascot is a Lamp. It has some good visuals to it as well. Since it has to do with Lamp it has some good light effects to them.

You a get a few laughs out of it. And it's only about 2 minutes long, like Adventures of Andre and Wally B were. Has some better improvements than Andre and Wally B.

Made in 1986, Pixar still had a long way till they get their fame and glory.

you're able to find it on the Toy Story 2 DVD or Pixars website.

I give it 7.5/10
