Identify - Lava

Lava - Walt Disney

Despite being a fairly annoying song, the animation for 'Lava' was fairly sweet, conveying how important the appeal principle is within animation. The short film incites sympathy from the audience simply over a volcano with eyes and a mouth, which is pretty impressive. Similarly to 'Feast' we are focused on one character for the majority of the animation, allowing for the audience to engage with the him and feel sorry for him when he's slowly disappearing into the ocean. The staging is also effective at implying how lonely he is despite being this huge being - he is shown in almost every shot even at obscure angles, yet no one else appears to be around him. There were also some quite beautiful shots, for example at night when clouds cover him. This shot adds mysteriousness and an enchanting sensation, even if only for a short time.
