Lava is a 2014 computer-animated musical short film.
Produced by Pixar Animation Studios.
It was directed by James Ford Murphy and produced by Andrea Warren.

The short is a musical love story that takes place over millions of years.
It is set to a song written by Murphy, and was inspired by the "isolated beauty of tropical islands and the explosive allure of ocean volcanoes."



On a tropical island in the Pacific Ocean, a lonely volcano named Uku watches the wildlife creatures frolic with their mates and hopes to find one of his own.
He sings a song to the ocean each day for thousands of years, gradually venting his lava and sinking into the water, but does not realize that an undersea volcano named Lele has heard him every day and has fallen in love with him.
She emerges on the day that Uku becomes extinct, but her face is turned away and she cannot see him.
Uku sinks fully into the ocean, heartbroken, but revives when he hears Lele singing his song to him.
His fires re-ignited, he erupts back to the surface, this time right next to Lele, and the two form a single island where they are happy together.
