Lava

Lava (2015) is a Pixar short film you can watch online on iFILM — directed by James Ford Murphy and running just seven minutes. The story follows Uku, a Hawaiian volcano who has been singing a love song into the empty Pacific for millions of years, waiting for someone to hear him.

The whole thing is told through a single ballad, performed by Kuana Torres Kahele and Napua Greig, with no dialogue at all. For something this brief, the emotional payoff lands harder than many features manage in two hours. Stream Lava online on iFILM.
