Did an AI summary bot write this?

Who would confuse a ball with the lamp, especially given the name "Luxo" suggests a lamp?

    The ball is often called Luxo Ball

    The Pixar Ball (also known as the Luxo Ball) is a yellow ball with a blue stripe and red star that first appeared in the Luxo Jr. short as a prop for Luxo Jr. Since its debut, it has made numerous cameos in other Pixar films, most notably in the Toy Story films.

    Copying from sibling reply:

    Following that logic its name is "Pixar", but that is not the case.

    It's the Luxo ball as in "the ball from the Luxo film" not "Luxo the ball". The ball doesn't have a name.

    I'm not gonna dig out the hard drive to prove this so believe it or don't but we called it the luxo ball in my first year motions graphics class. It was the demo project to teach us about textures, lighting, and basic animation using the ball

    How about you actually read the Pixar wiki before claiming AI?

    Quoting the wiki (ew, fandom!)

    The Pixar Ball (also known as the Luxo Ball) is a yellow ball with a blue stripe and red star that first appeared […]!

    So… yeah, clearly not its name, not any more than its name is "Pixar"

    It's the Luxo ball as in "the ball from the Luxo film" not "Luxo the ball". Luxo [Jr.] is the lamp.
