Well if 'Inside Out' wasn't a good enough film to begin with the short that accompanies it is just as good.Well done to Pixar, who consistently produce these lovely little films before the main feature, and also make them to such a high standard.This one has all the qualities that Pixar strive for within their feature films. Heart, warmth, and crucially strong storytelling. In an age where the biggest explosion or most graphic sex/violence wins, it is refreshing to see a quality piece of film.I think this can be found on the 'Inside Out' DVD if you're interested. It's well worth your while.

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.

After reading a lot of mixed reviews for Lava, from those who really loved (or shall we say 'lavad' it) and from those who consider it Pixar's worst short film. Lava is not one of my favourites from Pixar, and is perhaps one of their weaker short films (a contrast from seeing it with one of Pixar's best, and their return to form, Inside Out), but it is still very sweet and touching as well as well-made so it's still a winner.The only real problem for me with Lava was the song. It is a lovely, beautifully sung and well-meaning one, and fits nicely within the short (also did like how the story was told through the song), but felt a touch overlong and repetitive, which dragged the pace a tad and one does wish that there was a little more story, while effectively simple it was like a lot of attention went into the song and it dominated everything else. However as always from Pixar the animation in Lava is wonderful, the character designs of the lover volcanoes are appealing but even better are the vibrant colours, gorgeously rich backgrounds and the nature surrounding visuals. The time elapse of a thousand years on the volcano is a visual masterstroke and very cleverly done.No matter how slight or predictable the story is, it is difficult to deny how truly sweet and touching it is, it really resonated with me emotionally. The characters are very cute and it was easy to feel their charming romantic chemistry, while the singing voices are beautiful and soulful which does help to give the song, no matter whether you like it or not, the emotion it does clearly have. All in all, an above-decent short film from Pixar, if not one of their best, almost did 'lava' it. 8/10 Bethany Cox

This absolutely creepy nonsense with horrible animation and idiotic music is insult to the full feature it precedes. How can Pixar and Disney push this atrocity? This is criminally awful. Whoever made it, should be fired and made to do community service, and that for blind and deaf, in order not to cause any further offense. Such trash is not worthy to cause painful injury to your brain before a major feature, so if you can skip it an come late (it is 5 painful minutes long) to the main event, by all means, do. The disgusting features of the volcanoes, the stupid lyrics, the annoying vocals and even more so annoying animation makes children and parents alike want to PUKE. ABSOLUTE RUBBISH
