It is interesting to see how the focus on videos is the animation the lamp itself is not pixars nor is it anyone at Pixar that made it in any way what so ever.

So you know boo you know that she is the witch right and she have time travel abilities and making not living things into living I thing Luxo jr is a Creation of her she sent him to get the the human emotion and give it to other Pixar movie film you know why because the other movie character are running out of energy that's why in every Pixar movie opening luxo jr come he is time travelling but boo have to stop this some day because she can not live forever that's why she will make a team to make the meteor hit the earth to kill the dinosaur then that will change the time line then all the car and wall e ant monster ink the end game never happened
