Luxo Jr. - Pixar

[Zassta2]

Und wusstet ihr, dass John Lasseter hier von Steve Jobs begleitet wurde? :o

[Motorskallen]

So simple ... yet so wonderful!

[unknownuser109]

just nice

[Miketechnology25]

What'd they use to render the movie?

Maybe a Mac because Steve jobs was part of Pixar!

[MegaZeroBlues]

lol, that ball shows up again in Toy Story! Nice little easter egg :)

[t075iana]

@MegaZeroBlues The Pizza Planet truck appears in EVERY Pixar movie from TS1 except The Incredibles.

Luxo Jr. is the first film produced in 1986 by Pixar Animation Studios, following its establishment as an independent film studio. It is a computer-animated short film, demonstrating the kind of things the newly-established company was capable of producing. It was the first Pixar short to release within a Pixar film.

[brettjasonhill]

It is the source of the small hopping desk lamp included in Pixar's corporate logo. In a subsequent re-release after Pixar became popular, a pretext was added to the film reading, "In 1986 Pixar produced its first film. This is why we have a hopping lamp in our logo."

[Amorstopineed]

1986? yeah for that time it`s an excellent work!

[exzelcic]

aw cute X">

[MrBarneyDinosaur]

This was made in 1986 and it still looks better than anything by Dreamworks.

[WingWangDooFoo]

I remember this one, it was on the intro of the VHS of Toy Story 2 I think

[remixchild]

steve jobs was part of this ?

[xis10ce]

@remixchild no, John Lasseter

[Georgeheverton]

As pessoas com as mentes mais brilhantes desse mundo!

[WhiteLioness100]

Luxo Jr. is fucking adorable

[Dasher260]

"This is why we have a hopping lamp in our Logo.

[dehodorant]

I love lamp.

[andrewstartrekmario]

Can somebody please tell me where A113 in this?

[slugmouth]

in cars chick hicks number is 86 and that's when luxo Jr. was made.

[TheDuckmonk]

This was done in '86? Wow.

[askight]

Is the big lamp the mother or father?

[mravantgarde123]

i love this short

[cfrench61995]

what came first, the logo or the lamp? ;)

[ThePastamasta1]

this isn't the first one. andre and wally b was the first ever pixar short film which i will never see again becaus it is creepy

[Jonathanspx91]

@ThePastamasta1 "Pixar Animation Studios has long believed in making short films. In 1986, Pixar's first-ever short, Luxo Jr., launched a new direction in animated filmmaking, using three-dimensional computer animation to tell a story." - Pixar official website.

The Adventures of André and Wally B. was created at the Lucasfilm Computer Graphics Project, which later spun off Pixar Animation Studios, so it is technically not a Pixar short.

[dholt1234]

@ThePastamasta1 how the f*** is it creepy?

[xis10ce]

@ThePastamasta1 The Adventures of André and Wally B. is an animated short made by The Graphics Group (a subsidiary of Lucasfilm)

[CaptainSlow202]

@ThePastamasta1 What's creepy about that?

[martin4lyn]

tu to začalo:-)

[pablotepa13]

@ 1:30 "yeah, you fucked it up"

[godofevil11695]

1 person doesn't like the fact that Pixar has a hopping lamp in their logo.

[MissMalfoyuno]

1 person is an idiot!!

[cruisingcody]

they did in 1986 what i can't even do today >.<

[EmbrYo36]

now who the fuck is going to say that 3d animation is still taking its first step. this masterpiece was already created in 1986. and i can tell you: this little film took hundrets of hours! i know cause im a motion graphics designer.

[PadMan127]

I love how you can see the emotion in the lamps.

[noitesdacidade]

vejam: ANIMAÇÃO DO MORY

[ThisKid429]

anyone know the song name... it's not chick corea

[fish11001]

Ghetto stomping around like he's the shit -.- XD

[mizzjacob]

This is what Pixar is amazing at... Bringing inanimate objects to life and making it look very good.

[Chaosfreaki]

wonderful :)

[woofwoofyoyo]

That's really adorable :)

[abraham0joseph]

wow

[HarvestmanMan]

I think by first film they mean first independent (non-Lucas) film.

[sweetiegrl41]

the reason why there are 2 lamps instead of one, is because the old lamp burned out and luxo jr. takes over! the pixar people werent smart enough to get a new bulb! xD

[itsmeevry1]

still brilliant

[DeckDiaries]

this is not the 1st

[spoogerification]

i remember this oh i saw it a long time ago

[ramonisai]

hagamos un ejercicio concentre todo el tiempo en ver la estrella y descubrirar que casi siempre esta invertida no les dire nada mas ni nada, y sigan en la evolucion de pixar hasta toy story

[gwhizkids]

That's exactly what I was thinking about ten seconds ago!

[btramisetty]

john lasseter is amazingly talented, i can't believe he wrote toy story and made this animation in 1986

[mattkyle99]

no pixar's first film was andre and wally b. in 1984!

[mariomanmitch]

@mattkyle99

They were not called Pixar back then, It was still Lucas Films. Then Steve Jobs bought it and called it Pixar.

[OFF732]

@mattkyle99 You are correct that the same people produced Andre and Wally B in 1984, that was under "Lucasfilm Ltd". In 1986 when Steve Jobs acquired Lucasfilm Ltd and changed the name to "Pixar" this was the 1st film produced under that name.

[squishsqo]

@mattkyle99

Technically at that time they were still the Lucasarts graphics group (or something along those lines). That's just me being a correction-police pixar fan.

[ScarOfBellum]

@mattkyle99 andre was cast in the studies lucas films not pixar

[camaros65]

@mattkyle99 No this one was one that aired and that was just a project

[dutchgirl96]

@mattkyle99 "andre and wally b" wasnt technically a pixar film... it was made out of a division of lucasfilm called "the graphics group" with john lassetter. eventually, they spun out of lucasfilm and formed pixar, and their first film as pixar was "luxo jr" :)

[mattkyle99]

@dutchgirl96 Not true! :(

[ultimateMacgregor]

@mattkyle99 It is true the company was bought and renamed Pixar, though technically The Adventures of Andre and Wally B was ther first short the company itself made before changing it's name.

[Cubalisk]

@mattkyle99 that was before Pixar was created :PPP it's cool to see this stuff... it was over 10 years before i was born yay

[19KISStheSKY97]

@mattkyle99 It wasn't technicaly by pixar. It was before they came pixar....This is pixars first short.

[DaltonMan321]

@mattkyle99 That was back when it was a Lucasfilm division, so... doesn't count.

[anubhavdasgupta2312]

@mattkyle99 No that was when Pixar was still a part of Lucasfilm

[cloud4an]

@mattkyle99

Wasn't pixar. Same people, different company

[JDM9616]

@mattkyle99 Technicly, this is the first Pixar short film, but I think Andre and Wally B. was made by the same people who work at pixar.

[bobbobato]

@krazyliljoo94, The home PCs of the 80s were not the only computers available, fairly complex 3d rendering has been possible since the 1970s (Utah teapot).

[RobinMoviesOffical]

They still have the ball and the lamp outside their studio! You got to love pixar.

[krazyliljoo94]

Now, somebody please tell me, how the fuck did they make this in 1986?!

[RobinMoviesOffical]

@krazyliljoo94 With animation software?

[krazyliljoo94]

@RobinMoviesOffical Hey dumbass, they didn't have animation software in 1986...

[RobinMoviesOffical]

How did they made it? Tell me, dumb fuck.

[krazyliljoo94]

@RobinMoviesOffical How did they made it, well I don't know Mr. I didn't graduate the fucking 3rd grade...

[OFF732]

@RobinMoviesOffical In 1984 Lucasfilm Ltd made software called "Render Man" (Then unknown at the time) Used privately from 1984-1988 then released publicly in 1989, was the 1st computer animation software available. This was possible because of Steve Jobs acquiring Lucasfilms Ltd in 1984 and combining it his man power with NeXT.

[roggerfrogger2]

@krazyliljoo94 yes they did, hence its existence 

[mikekaraoke]

@krazyliljoo94 ummm yes they did hence why also copyright said 1986,,,Everybody knows 80's were the decade of technology to be more advanced.Pixar first sghort was Andre and WallyB 1984

[ThePixarMusic]

Does someone know the two background scores that are playing throughout the short? Please tell me.

[shmoomusic]

Love this!!! we pay homage to this in our latest music video Waves... 3.25 minutes in you'll see what I mean...

[M0VIES4U2]

I hate when his light fades out, with the logo. I like when his light turns off after a few seconds.

[ananasjazzaren]

I wonder if any of the Luxor lamp sound were used on Wall E.

[id88viper88id]

That was a nice short :) At least now I know why there's always this lamp in the beginning screen of every of their movies :)

[Rifleman1990]

does anyone know where can I get the music from this film?

This jazz is great ;)

[autopsiante]

Amazing and very sweet!!!

[williefleete]

that is adorable

[richcolour]

I got this on a vhs showreel compilation, circa '87. The rest of the tape was boring cones and cylinders - this one really stood out. Whenever I start watching a Pixar film I'm reminded of that old VHS. Surprised that it's 24 years old. Wow.

[CHAPAPA96]

very cute

[cpetersky]

I remember my husband (then boyfriend) coming back from SIGGRAPH and telling me about this film. It was mind-boggling at the time.

[TraustiGeir]

The one that I'll always remember.

[TheHacker60]

@TraustiGeir Me, too. I have Pixar Shorts Vol. 1 on DVD. I also have one of these things.

[brookerREALLYsucks]

LoL.

Thanks for uploading!
