Pinokio. Since the short's release, the ball from the short has appeared in almost every Pixar production to date. In 1991, a series of four Luxo Jr. shorts were produced for Sesame Street. The shorts produced were "Up & Down", "Front & Back", "Heavy & Light", and "Surprise". 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[s] the fact that Luxo [Jr.] still has significance to the people at Pixar", and remarked that it was something like Disney's Mickey Mouse. The short was later released on November 24, 1999, in theaters with Toy Story 2 (1999). This version is preceded with the modern Pixar logo and the message "In 1986, Pixar Animation Studios produced its first film. This is why we have a hopping lamp in our logo.", replacing the original Pixar logo. This would carry over to the VHS and DVD releases of Toy Story 2 in 2000.

In Red's Dream, an older lamp appears. In the credits of Cars 2 (2011), Luxo Jr. appears. At Disney California Adventure, an animatronic Luxo Jr. greets people on the way into Pixar Pier and Paradise Gardens Park. Luxo Jr. also appears in Disney Infinity. Luxo Sr. also appears a lot in the Toy Story series although, he is non-anthropomorphic, and is painted red. The red version had also had a cameo in Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force. Somehow, it later was owned by Bonnie in the Toy Story Toons Hawaiian Vacation. In Toy Story 3 (2010), 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 letter I. 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 his "death".
