Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

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

Neil Welch A lonely volcanic island sings a song of hopeful love over the years: just as he goes extinct and sinks below the surface, a new volcano arises, inspired by his song: but will they ever be together? Lava is the Disney/Pixar short which accompanies Inside Out. It is, as usual, visually beautiful but, for me, it falls quite a long way short of the usual standard of these short films: it is trite and obvious, and contains little of real substance other than its visuals. I was also not terribly amused by the conflation of "love/lava" in the song lyrics.Sorry to be out of step on this one.

abcooke-24327 The reason I'm writing this review is because I see one that says it was so horrible and they couldn't stand it. This little film is so darn cute!! I smiled through the whole thing, it was heart warming , and put just a little bit of kindness & love in the hearts of those watching. It left me feeling better, I like that :) It's pretty amazing that it made me smile, laugh, feel sad, etc in only 7 minutes. I think that's saying something. I enjoy things that make the world seem a bit happier and more full of love, this did that :) I hope you at least watch it once.

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
