PixMinis Episode 31: Lava

In preparation for Lightyear, Arun and Patricia decide to bring PixMinis back where they look back on a Pixar short every day until July 12. In this episode, they discuss about the 2014 Pixar short Lava, which paired along Inside Out. A volcano sings every day for many, many years about wanting to find another volcano to be with so that he wouldn't be lonely. When he's almost goes extinct, lava erupts revealing a new volcano hearing the song from the old volcano, but he's nowhere to be found. The short has received a ton of backlash from viewers calling it a "cheesy", "saccharine", and "sappy" Pixar short making it one of the least popular of the bunch. Do Arun and Patricia agree? Listen and find out.
