High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Luxo Jr. is a 1986 American computer-animated short film produced by Pixar and directed by John Lasseter. The short film, which runs two minutes, revolves around two desk lamps: a larger lamp and a smaller lamp. The larger lamp watches while the smaller, "younger" lamp plays exuberantly with a ball but doesn`t pick up the knack of correct handling. It was Pixar`s first animation after Ed Catmull and John Lasseter left Industrial Light and Magic`s computer division. It is the source of the small hopping desk lamp included in Pixar`s corporate logo.
