Lou is a 2017 animated short film (6 minutes) by Pixar, one of the Pixar Shorts. It was directed by Dave Mullins.The setting is the playground at a day-care center. The lost-and-found box is the home of a creature called "Lou" for the missing letters on the outside of the box, which says "_OST & F__ND". Lou is a sentient being formed by all the odds and ends in the box—a red sweatshirt that forms his body, two different-sized baseballs that form his eyes, a book that sometimes forms a mouth, and other sundries. After the kids leave every day Lou scarfs up the things they've left behind and adds to himself.One day Lou sees a boy named J.J. out in the yard bullying other kids and stealing their toys. Lou gets mad and decides to steal J.J.'s backpack which contains all the stolen toys. A merry chase ensues as J.J. tries to get the toys back from Lou, until Lou realizes why J.J. is a bully to begin with.Lou played in theaters in front of the Pixar feature Cars 3.No relation to Lou (2022).

Eye on a Stalk: This effect is produced when Lou's eyes, which are usually in the hood of his sweatshirt, migrate to the end of the sleeves.

The Bully: J.J., who delights in taking the other kids' toys and laughing at them. Eventually we find out why J.J. is like that: years ago when he was a toddler a bully stole his plush dog.

Bittersweet Ending: A reformed J.J. gives all the stuff in the lost and found box back to the other kids, leaving the box empty, which means Lou no longer exists. But J.J. gets back his long-lost plush dog.

comment
Combining Mecha: While Lou has a single consciousness he can assemble the various objects that make up his "body" in any combination. His baseball "eyes" are usually inside the hood of his sweatshirt, unless he sends them to the ends of the sleeves. Sometimes the book is his mouth, and sometimes it isn't.
