The Pixar Mascot's first debut!

This is Pixar's first official short film. The first one done when Pixar became an official company. This short shows why their mascot is a Lamp. It has some good visuals to it as well. Since it has to do with Lamp it has some good light effects to them.

You a get a few laughs out of it. And it's only about 2 minutes long, like Adventures of Andre and Wally B were. Has some better improvements than Andre and Wally B.

Made in 1986, Pixar still had a long way till they get their fame and glory.

you're able to find it on the Toy Story 2 DVD or Pixars website.

I give it 7.5/10
