Luxo Jr. is the first animated film produced by Pixar Animation Studios in 1986. The film was released to mark Pixar's establishment as an independent film studio and to demonstrate the kind of things the newly-established company was capable of producing.
What inspires me the most in this short animation is the simple, yet extremely effective use of personification of the two desk lamps. the use of stereotypical head shakes and dominating stance of the larger lamp is an accurate and easily recognisable characterisation of a parent or guardian, whilst the smaller in size, more vibrancy and erratic movement of the other lamp is effectively characterised to portray a baby/ young person.
Similar to why I like and appreciate the artistic merit of pictogram's, the simplistic movements and creative decisions within this film are so simple and easily recognisable, yet they carry such heavy connotations and descriptions.
