'Luxo Jr. (1986)' is the Pixar short that gave the studio its now world-renowned logo. It's about a lamp and its son who likes to play with a ball. They're probably personified lamps because hard-surface CG is easier to make look appealing and requires less rigging prowess; the short is from the baby years of 3D animation, after all. The piece looks surprisingly good for its age, with dynamic lighting and crisp rendering. Its physics are relatively realistic and it has a good amount of stylisation, too. There isn't much to it; it's more of a proof of concept, in a way. Its punchline isn't great, either. Still, it's a decent short and it's always entertaining enough. 6/10
