Luxo, Jr. (character)

Luxo, Jr. is Pixar's mascot and the star of the 1986 short film Luxo, Jr. He is a small, light gray desk lamp (although he has sometimes looked more of a white than light gray) who loves to play with bouncy balls. After having the same light bulb for over 20 years, WALL•E had to replace it for him when it went out, which can be seen in the trailer for WALL•E, replacing the standard bulb with a compact florencent. Luxo, Jr. has been seen in every Pixar feature film and short film since Toy Story, during the film's introduction and at the end of the credits as the I of the Pixar logo.

Luxo, Jr.'s most recent (albeit temporary) upgrade was that of a laser, for the teaser and regular trailers and ending of Cars 2.
