While Pixar has long been known for their imaginative and exciting feature-length films, they’ve also been known to release short films that are often just as original as their features.
Lava is one such short film, playing before this month’s emotive Inside Out. Lava is a story told through song, recounting the myth-like fate of a lonely Hawaiian volcano. Voiced by Hawaiian Kuana Torres Kahele, whose ukulele version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow put him on the map, the lonely volcano watches over millions of years as seemingly every other life form finds love.

Also featuring the voice talent of Napua Greig, Lava is a beautiful entry into the world of Pixar shorts. Naturally, it shows off the kind of vivid and original animation that Pixar has made its signature. We spoke with director...
