In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

"Lava" is refreshingly free from modern woke overtones. It’s pure Pixar magic: charming, innocent, and more interested in singing about love than lecturing about identity. A rare escape from today’s culture wars.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Lava" sticks to a traditional, heartfelt love story between two volcanoes, focusing on romance rather than ticking identity checkboxes. The short is gentle and apolitical, with zero emphasis on modern ideological themes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s nothing in "Lava" that suggests an attack on tradition, family, masculinity, or religion. It’s simple and wholesome – just a volcano hoping for love, without any rewriting of culture or history.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t present or mock any ideological perspectives. It’s a universal story with almost no dialogue, keeping politics well out of the picture. No virtue signaling here.
