6/10
Of bulbs and balls

Warning: Spoilers
It certainly takes something special to make us interested in a young lamp and his parent playing ball, even if it's only for two minutes. And they don't even need faces if their actions are written so well. John Lasseter managed to do so and the sound effects help a lot too. It's Pixar in its baby shoes, but you can already see the talent and creativity, especially concerning the characters' emotions that brought us so many more interesting short and feature films from the company.

The sympathy when the air gets out and the baby lamp can no longer play with his little companion. The joy the viewer feels when the little lamp finds a solution to his misery. The final reaction from the parent lamp. It's all tremendously thought through and will put a smile on your lips too. Quite recommendable not only to animation enthusiasts and I hope at some point we will finally get a full feature starring Luxo Jr.
