Lava screened before Inside Out, found it boring.
I saw an advanced screening of Inside Out today, and before it was the short, Lava. I found it boring as hell, and didn't fit as a companion to Inside Out really.

shareShort and sweet. If you like Hawaiian culture and music, then you may enjoy it more than most.
shareAgreed. I am going to skip this for life.
shareI absolutely loved both Lava and Inside Out in different ways. Lava was completely enchanting. And Inside Out was brilliant and very funny. Although I agree they are very different it was an interesting and surprising cinematic experience to see this short film that I didn't expect. Which was magical.
shareHow was it boring?
shareGenerally the shorts for pixar films were there to showcase how the technology had advanced since their latest film (in hair, water, smoke, and light effects) and offered an interesting virtue for kids to learn, or at least brought some clever gags or slapstick to get them pumped up for the feature film. Lava's cgi was subpar, and the animation was little to none because of the nature of the story. The male volcano looked creepy as hell, and the female volcano's voice was nails on a chalkboard. The story offered zero complexity, and could have easily been about one building waiting for another building to get made next to it and called it "Bricks". The song was textbook generic, and was only good for making kids in the audience scream for the movie to start. Overall it was a shallow snore of a narrative built around subpar visuals that made me regret not taking my piss break right then.
shareIt wasn't too bad at all. Total over reaction from many on here.
My confusion lay with I had known nothing of it (and very little of Inside Out) before going to see it so I wasn't sure whether it was actually going to be a part of the film initially.
The one criticism I had of it was that it maybe had one verse too many but I guess that was required to be part of the story and explain the male and female volcanoes coming and going.
It was a nice wee story. Nothing to get too upset about and the song was catch enough.
