Pixar Ball

The Pixar Ball, or the Luxo Ball, is a yellow ball with a blue stripe and red star that first appeared in the Luxo, Jr. short as a prop for Luxo, Jr. Since its debut, it has made numerous cameos in other Pixar films, most prominently in the Toy Story films.

Appearances

In Red's Dream, the design and color scheme of the ball appears on the floor of the circus ring.
In Toy Story, a ball rolls down the hallway of Andy's house as Sarge helps a "wounded" soldier to an indoor plant. A little later, one of Andy's friends bounce that ball up the stairs to Andy's room. Later, when Buzz proves to the toys that he can "fly", he bounces off that ball when he jumps off from Andy's bed.
In Toy Story 2, one ball appears in a TV commercial for Al's Toy Barn. Later, after the toys enter the toy store, one ball can be seen on the floor to the left, and a whole container of those balls can be seen to the left of the door when exiting.
An illustration of the ball appears next to John Lasseter's "Directed by" credit in the original (pre-outtakes) end credits of Toy Story 2.
