Trivia
Director James Ford Murphy had wanted to make a film about Hawaii and its culture since he honeymooned there in 1989. The plot for this film became a bit more focused when Murphy visited Hawaii in 2011 and learned of the existence of Lo'ihi, an underwater volcano that is growing next to the Big Island and will eventually merge with it. Murphy reflected on the situation and decided to do a love story about volcanoes.

I lava you

Another lovely collaboration between Pixar and Disney! This short tells a love story that ends up in a happy manner. Colors are so vivid & the created song for this little piece of art is absolutely enchanting. Reserve yourself some time to watch this particular short, cause it's worth every second.
