Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

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)

I'm glad you noticed this. You're great!!! Luxo and Luxo, Jr. were inspired by a desk lamp on John Lasseter's desk.

[edit] Names!

One the offical Pixar webpage, the bigger one is Luxo and the smaller one is Luxo Jr. --Wack'd About Wiki 15:44, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sesame Street

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.

[edit] "English"

On the information box of this article, there is a "Language" section. This section shows the word "English". Is this unnessecarry? I think it is, because I have seen the film many, many, times, and I absolutely KNOW that nobody talks in this film. Someone, do SOMETHING!!! Thanks.

[edit] Nvidia Facsimilie

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.
