Lava Audience Reviews

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
Gordon-11 This animated short video tells the story of two volcanoes in Hawaii, who long for each other.The story is delivered using relatively static images, and through a beautiful song. The song is serene but catchy. It has this magnetic quality that draws people in. The story itself in quite simple and plain, but the visuals are adorable, especially the pastel colour scheme and the fact that it manages to capture the spirit of the story.
TxMike This short animated film is included as an "extra" on the "Inside Out" DVD. It is just about 7 minutes long.In essence it is a 7-minute song, wanting someone to "Lava Me." The elapsed time has to be millions of years because first we see the male volcano in the sea, sitting proudly and high, but as time passes he sinks lower and lower.In the meantime there is a pretty female undersea volcano waiting to erupt, and rise above the sea, but only as the other one continues to sink.In the end they are both above the sea, next to each other, each with someone to "Lava Me."The singing and harmony are done very nicely.
EzioMonty117 I don't get the point of Lava, it's a short film for the fabulous Inside Out, but this short is a joke, a Volcano making love With another Volcano, what, here's why this is the worst Disney short film yet.The short follows a Volcano back 1 million years ago sings a song about when he will find someone he will love, then a lot of days later, a female Volcano comes up from the sea and the male Volcano gets his prize, a Volcano to love, that's basically i can sum up this Garbage.The animation is good, but not Incredible, With creepy designs and weak Development time, the song that Plays through this 7 minute short is too sad to be true, it's creepy and unfitting, especially With a talking Volcano, seriously.The concept is the worst in a short ever, i even thought that awful Blue Umbrella short was better than this, the only good thing about Lava is when Inside Out finally starts, i was confused for the entirety of the short.Lava is a weak but decent short film, animation, song and concept is terrible.4/10
Terryfan When I took my niece to go see "Inside Out" As the previews run their course we thought along with everyone in the theater thought the movie was about the start.But low behold we were greeted with this short little movie called "Lava". My niece and I look at each other surprised and thrown off by this little feature that came on but actually it was a nice surprise to have a short little animation feature before the movie started kind of like a double feature which I think all Disney movies should have more of with their movies in the animation and family side of course. The movie tells a love story about a Volcano called Uku (Voiced by Kuana Torres Kahele) who sings every day for a thousand years to a female volcano named Lele (Voiced by Napua Greig). I'm trying to keep it spoiler free because the only way to fully understand the story is by watching it on screen with "Inside Out" but the movie itself is really a nice little surprise and unexpected because when you think you're about to watch the movie you paid to see you get a special bonus. The animation in this short is really amazing and superb as Pixar once again show case their animated talents and they really did a wonderful job as everything from the design of the volcano to the ocean is very well done and shows just amazing animation can be done if you do it right. The Song they sing in the movie to tell the story is quite surprising how they created such a interesting song for the short Overall Lava is a nice surprise and really smart of Disney/Pixar part to have play with "Inside Out" like a few say it's reason enough to go watch "Inside out".I give Lava an 9 out of 10
