Luxo Jr.
Directed by John Lasseter
Produced by Pixar
A delightful, wordless celebration of playful curiosity and parental patience, told through the expressive antics of anthropomorphic lamps.
A baby lamp finds a ball to play with and it's all fun and games until the ball bursts. Just when the elder Luxo thinks his kid will settle down for a bit, Luxo Jr. finds a ball ten times bigger.
