The dream technicians at Pixar have given us toys, robots, cars, fish and rats. But none of the production house's previous efforts truly prepares one for the sight of a lovelorn, crinkly-eyed Hawaiian volcano crooning its loneliness to the heavens.
Lava, a short film that will screen in advance of Inside Out, the Disney-owned studio's latest movie, features the tones of musician Kuana Torres Kahele as the lovesick mountain. The film's director, James Ford Murphy, who is also Pixar's head of animation, said that, to create Uku the volcano's unique countenance, designers combined the features of Kahele with those of Jackie Gleason, the Honeymooners star, and the bulldog from the classic Merrie Melodies short Feed the Kitty.
