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 (two and a half minutes, including credits), demonstrating the kind of things the newly-established company was capable of producing. It is the source of the small hopping desk lamp included in Pixar's corporate logo. After the Pixar logo at the beginning of the film, text appears (in white) reading, "In 1986, Pixar produced its first film. This is why we have a hopping lamp in our logo."
