This Friday a new animation short called "Lava" will be shown before the Pixar film "Inside Out."

Here's an interesting article about the making of the animation short:

Entertainment Weekly: Anyone who has ever visited Hawaii or Tahiti or any of the Polynesian islands knows there is an overwhelmingly enchanting quality about them—they are literally what we think of when we hear the word paradise. Where did this idea originate?

James Ford Murphy: When I got married in 1989, my wife and I honeymooned on the Big Island in Hawaii and that completely captivated me. The Big Island has an active volcano called Kilauea. Then about 12 or 13 years ago my wife and I were watching an episode of ER that featured a version of a song that I new so well from The Wizard of Oz called “Over The Rainbow.” But this was sung by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole. And I was absolutely floored when I heard that version and I never forgot it.

There is also a link to the film's trailer.

I probably won't get to the theater but I would like to hear from those that see it, what their thoughts are?

"People are like islands. You have to get close to them to know what they are about."
