Plot
Inspired by the isolated beauty of tropical islands and the explosive allure of ocean volcanoes, Lava is a musical love story that takes place over millions of years.
Sinekatalog’s take
A tuneful Pixar short about a lonely volcano singing for a love that might never come. The song is sweet, the island scenery is lush, and the cartoon romance is hard to resist. Short, charming, and perfect for a gentle smile.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
