Luxo Jr. is a curious, child-like baby lamp. Rendered in computer animation, the playful lamp first appeared as the title character in the 1986 short Luxo Jr., written and directed by John Lasseter at Pixar Animation Studios and nominated for an Academy Award for Best Short Subject. Luxo Jr. is also the official Pixar mascot, appearing in the logo on all of its films.
Beginning in 1990,[1] the character appeared in a series of short Sesame Street segments, around thirty seconds each. Co-directed by Lasseter and Andrew Stanton, each short built upon the original film, focusing on little Luxo discovering a different learning concept, especially opposites, with the help of his dad, Luxo Sr. All four shorts are included in Pixar Short Films Collection on DVD and Blu-ray.
Sesame Street producer Arlene Sherman recalled how the shorts came about:
