As if you didn’t already have enough reasons to see the new Disney/Pixar film, Inside Out (it’s awesome – duh), you will definitely want to go to see the new short, Lava, that is ONLY airing right before Inside Out. It is so cute and fun that I just know you will love it.

Lava is a love story about a happy-go-lucky volcano who is looking for that special someone to join him. Love is one of the most powerful emotions we can feel and give, and in this short you will see how truly amazing it is!

The songs in Lava are sung by actual Hawaiian singers, but before we heard the song in the actual film James played it for us live on his very own ukelele. It was really awesome to hear exactly how he pitched this film to executive producer, John Lasseter.
