TOY STORY 2 for its Thanksgiving release. Directed by John Lasseter (TOY
STORY, A BUG'S LIFE), LUXO JR. debuted at SIGGRAPH in 1986 to wide praise
of its integration of classic character design with a new level of visual
realism. "LUXO JR. was the first computer animated film where the story and
characters were more important to audiences than the fact that it was made
with a computer," said Lasseter, Pixar's Executive Vice President,
Creative. LUXO JR will accompany TOY STORY 2 for its entire run in theatres.
