Talk:Luxo Jr.

message: It features two desk lamps (inspired by a LUXO task-light found on his desk, hence the title) Whose desk? -- DynSkeet 15:46, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: This article gives a mention about the strikingly similar sketches seen on Sesame Street (hm, alliteration indeed). I would like to know, however, if anyone knows anything about whether or not Pixar actually had anything to do with it.
I don't know about this short specifically but according to Muppet Wiki "In 1990,[1]  the studio, through John Lasseter, produced a series of shorts for Sesame Street featuring Luxo Jr.. [sic]
"  The source says that its The Street We Live On time line but I don't have access to it to double check.  Thehatinthecat (talk) 04:47, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

message: A few years ago the PC graphics card manufacturer NVidia created a facsimile of this movie but rendered in real time on one of their new graphics cards.  I think this might be worth mentioning in the article.  I'm pretty sure that when they released it they also gave a lot of detail on the processes behind the original Pixar animation (including things like the time it took to render and the equipment used to create it), it might be worth looking that up also.

message: I'm tempted to add something about this, though I doubt it's published anywhere.  I was there. - Denimadept (talk) 04:38, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: So they published something?  Neat.  As I remember it, everyone was stunned, then exploded. - Denimadept (talk) 06:05, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I excised this phrase from the article where it said that Luxo Jr... "was also John Lasseter's directorial debut". After seeing the Pixar history doco on the WALL-E DVD I know that Lasseter won two student academy awards while at Cal Arts, plus he directed Andre and Wally-B, so this claim cannot be accurate.

message: I note that many citations reference IMDB which, as I understood, is not a valid citation.  Can someone confirm? --RedKnight (talk) 22:29, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

message: I don't understand why this, and other articles in Wikipedia, refer to the characters as based on "Anglepoise desk lamps". Anglepoise is not a generic type of lamp, it is a specific trademarked product and Lasseter makes it quite clear that these lamps were modeled after a Luxo-branded lamp (hence the names).  Further, one look at the design of an Anglepoise lamp shows that it has only a superficial resemblance to Luxo and Luxo Jr.  Note the way the reflectors are connected to the balance arms and the fact that all of the springs on an Anglepoise lamp are at the bottom, whereas Luxo has a spring on the upper arm.  If one is looking for a generic term for the type of lamp, "balance-arm" is far more accurate than Anglepoise.

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Luxo Jr.'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 08:55, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
