Other Appearances
- Since the short's release, the Luxo Ball has appeared in almost every Pixar production to date.
- In To Infinity and Beyond!: The Story of Pixar Animation Studios, a book of Pixar's history up through January 2007, film critic Leonard Maltin said that he "like the fact that Luxo still has significance to the people at Pixar", and remarked that it was something like Disney's Mickey Mouse.
- The short was re-issued in 1999 and shown before screenings of Toy Story 2. There is also a scene in Toy Story 2 where Hamm frantically flicks through TV channels to find a certain commercial. One of the channels is showing Luxo Jr.
- In Tin Toy, a picture of Luxo Jr. appears.
- Luxo Sr. also appears a lot in the Toy Story series although, he is non-anthropomorphic, and is painted red. Somehow, it later was owned by Bonnie in the Toy Story Toon, Hawaiian Vacation. In Toy Story 3, it is decorated with stickers.
- An audio-animatronic version of Luxo Jr. used to appear in Pixar Place at the Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park.
- The Pixar logo was parodied by the comedy website CollegeHumor in a short titled "Pixar Intro Parody." The logo plays out as normal but Luxo Jr. kills the I letter; as the other letters mourn the loss of capital I Luxo Jr. is tried for murder and subsequently sentenced to the electric chair, leaving the other letters of the logo to celebrate its "death."

—Muriel Beadle (b. 1915)
“The appearances of goodness and merit often meet with a greater reward from the world than goodness and merit themselves.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
