Luxo Jr. is a
desk lamp character and the corporate
mascot of
Pixar Animation Studios. Luxo Jr. is the protagonist of the short film
of the same name and appears on the
production logo of every Pixar film, hopping on screen and bouncing on the letter I.
John Lasseter created Luxo Junior, modeling the character after his own
Luxo brand lamp. The manufacturer of Luxo lamps sued
Disney, the parent company of Pixar, for selling Luxo Jr. branded merchandise in 2009.
