The Pixar logo and the hopping desk lamp

Toy story, The incredibles, Cars, Monsters Inc. and many more. If you have seen these amazing movies then you might be a “Pixar" fan.

But have you ever wondered whats with that odd opening credits of every Pixar movie.

A small lamp hops throughout the screen and then takes place of the letter I.

This small lamp is actually a character of one the very first movies produced by Pixar. Its name is “Luxo Jr.”

It was released in 1986 and is a 2 minutes short film. But it has a very special place for those at Pixar. Think of what Mickey mouse is for Disney, Luxo Jr is for Pixar.

So to honour it, Luxo Jr is introduced in the company's logo in every opening credit of their movies.
