Lava (Short 2014)

Lava: Directed by James Ford Murphy. With Napua Greig, Kuana Torres Kahele. A story that takes place over millions of years and is inspired by the beauty of tropical islands and the allure of ocean volcanoes.

“Lava tells the story of a lonely volcano, yep really. Anyway this volcano spends his days singing and thatu0026#39;s the general premise of this. Generally I adore these beautiful little shorts and Piper (2016) really set the bar. Donu0026#39;t get me wrong Lava is good, it has your usual Pixar charm and hits you right in the feels but it just didnu0026#39;t have u0026quot;Itu0026quot; whatever u0026quot;Itu0026quot; may be.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf I saw two one man bands competing for the attention of a little girl to get a shiny gold coin (One Man Band: 2005) Iu0026#39;d laugh and cheer, if I saw a magician trying to keep his unruly rabbit in check (Presto:2008) Iu0026#39;d be in hysterics, if I saw a baby bird brave the new world Iu0026#39;d du0026#39;awww (Piper:2016) but I can confidently say if I saw a singing volcano Iu0026#39;d run screaming in soggy trousers (Itu0026#39;d be sweat I swear).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSweet, heartfelt, but a lonely singing volcano really?”
