I'm not sure what kind of audience you were with Luxo Jr... but I've seen it 14 times now, and not one time did anyone laugh during that scene or cheer when anyone died (even the session I was at with a group of rowdy teenagers). I guess it all depends on what type of person one is and what they laugh at.
Whereas I still would argue w/ those who hated the storyline (no, I'm not going to do that, as I've done that before)... I do agree on the lack of emotion area. A couple of examples always spring to mind on this, is after everyone is killed and Aki and Grey are on the ship and also when Aki is coming out of the crater at the end, each time she should actually be "crying"... but you don't see any tears in her eyes or anything to indicate this. Just a kind of blank expression.
The movie actually goes off here this week
so I'm not sure what I'm going to do now... I'm trying to track down a VCD copy of it, as it's still a few months until the DVD comes out. I only have 2 more times I can see it.
