Pixar's first computer-animated short, starring the lamp that would become it's mascot. Oscar nominated and good fun. 7/10.

It's hard to comment on this one, but I think a quote from Anchorman could work:
"I love lamp."
-
All the technical limitations in the world can't stop this simple, cute tale from working as well as anyone could expect. A nice template for Pixar's future ability to get great performances out of inanimate objects.

That famous ball that is a guaranteed easter egg in every Pixar release.
Amazing how much emotion can be conveyed without actual faces. This still holds up today, considering the age.
