Background: Pixar Animation Studios was formed originally in 1984 to produce CGI animated shorts, but it didn't produce animated movies until 1995 with Toy Story, a joint production of Pixar and Walt Disney Feature Animation. Currently, it is owned by the Walt Disney Company.


(1995-)
Pixar Animation Studios Pixar Lamp" (1995-)

Nicknames: "Luxo Jr.", "Pixar Lamp"

Logo: We see the text:

P I X A R

Then a lamp hops by. He stops once he notices the "I". He shakes his body and bounces on the "I" until it squishes it. The lamp looks around as the text "ANIMATION STUDIOS" fades in. He then faces the camera. The light slowly dims until it's completely dark. The lamp is still on though, but he turns off, making the screen 100% dark. This logo is shown at the end of the film.

Variants:
  • On Cars, Pixar celebrates its 20th Anniversary, where it has "CELEBRATING 2 (0 of the lamp) YEARS" when it is dark. Another one is where the logo fades out after the lamp replaces the "I".
  • A still version exists on Buzz Lightyear of Star Command.

Trivia: The lamp is from Pixar's very first animated short, "Luxo Jr," made in 1986.

SFX: Very nice CGI from Pixar, the leader in animation!

Music: In order: the metallic sound of the lamp hopping, a "jingle" when the lamp shakes its body, squeaky rubber-like sounds when it jumps on the I, and some other sounds as it looks around. Sometimes the movie's opening theme will play instead.

Availability: Seen on all Pixar movies.

Scare Factor: None, unless you're one of those people that hate Disney and/or Pixar.
