Luxo Jr.

Though not much happens, it's an endearing and funny little short that shows the promise of what Pixar was to become.

They should really make more movies about lamp families.

Always a joy to watch

Sure, it's cute and all, but it's very much a tech demo and not all that enjoyable. Worth watching because it's short and has historical value, that's about it.

The shortie behind Pixar's introduction and success. Looks amazing especially considering the date.

Who knew lamps could act? Pixar flexes their animation muscles in 1986 with this iconic character (part of their logo) who happens to be a desk lamp. The little lamp Luxo Jr., jumps on top of a ball and flattens it, you can see the disappointed from the senior Luxo and the shame of the little Luxo. For this being a short film...

It's amazing how far Pixar came along in the two years between The Adventures of André and Wally B (1984) and this. Charming and cute, with excellent sound design and a nice jazzy score. Tells a cute story about a parent-child relationship through lamps. The lamps are animated well, and it's very impressive how much life and emotion you can read from a moving lamp. Very well done.

So good. I knew this was Pixar's first, but I didn't realize this was from 1986. Crazy! It holds up. It demonstrates why Pixar has been so successful--simple story with beautiful animation. Hell, there's even pretty good characterization

Absolutely cute and entertaining, it's a landmark for animation not only at Pixar.

Amazing for the year it came out.

Particularly impressive for its time, was a good start.

So cute. Lamp families just... are magical.

wow i cant wait till my family gets a computer!!!!

I love this short. Pixar!!

Simple story, but the personalities of these two lamps are evident in their mere motions.

An underwhelming murder mystery.

Joyful.

1986 and still looks good! Pay attention the pacing and simple but working story.

Aww, cute lamps.

simple but effective

Some kind of landmark in the history of employing computers to create animated images, but other than that, nothing special.

Cute but not too engaging

Luxo Jr. is deceivingly simple, but in 1986, this was the start of the revolution of computer animation and the birth of Pixar's lovely mascot.

Cute. And impressive for 1986.

It's cute enough and the animation is great, but it's relatively simple. It feels too much like an early attempt where they are just focusing more on animation than anything else for me to give it a higher score. Still not a bad little short.

How cute

Troque as malditas luminárias da Pixar por gatinhos e tudo fica mais divertido. Youtube.

This makes me happy

01 Subat 08 & Pixar'in ilk kisa filmi.Hos fakat yinede cok basit kalmis...

Very very funny and one of my favorite pixar short's ! Right behind Pesto the new one

Barış&Baran-kun

Kinda adorable, but what really blows my mind is the (1986) next to the title.

Probably the best of the early Pixars, but still tasteless and pointless.

Pixar's original short (and it is short - 2 mins) won't blow away the kids of today but in terms of animation this is seminal. So smooth and clear, and it was made in 1986! That's the same year the NES was released for God's sake!

cute
