* BrokenBase: ''Lava'' is a rather contested short. It's considered either a charming love story or an obnoxiously saccharine drag to sit through before ''Inside Out''.

* AngstWhatAngst: ''Tales from Radiator Springs'' "The Radiator Springs 500½": Lizzie does not show any discomfort (and in fact, seems to enjoy it a bit) when seeing Lightning and Mater portray her late husband Stanley.

* AlternateAesopInterpretation: Some argue that ''Purl'' is more focusing on inclusiveness in general instead of gender equality, given that the newest employee at the end is a white guy and the character design of Purl falling a bit under ViewerGenderConfusion.

* HarsherInHindsight: Now that John Lasseter's history of sexual misconduct has come to light, ultimately resulting in his resignation from Disney/Pixar, ''Knick Knack'''s premise of the snowman pursuing an attractive, swimsuit-clad women feels a lot skeevier. Worse if you know that he has previously stated that it was created by the staff to "blow off steam" (though if it's any consolation, it was Lasseter's idea to remove the woman's comically oversized breasts for the 2003 version).

Zero Context Examples. Deleting because Awesome Music is Sugar Wiki.

** "Red's Dream". The whole thing.
** Same with "One Man Band", which makes sense given the short is themed around music.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UncannyValley:
** The volcano main characters in ''Lava'' are less expressive and more puppet-like than the usual Pixar characters, with quite a few viewers noting their creepiness.
** Purl’s semi-humanoid form she takes to fit with B.R.O. is rather unsettling. Given the theme of the short, this was probably intentional.
** And of course we also have the infamous baby from ''WesternAnimation/TinToy''. Pixar themselves lampshade how horrifying the baby looks in commentaries.

Fixing this since I deleted the Narm entry.


* NarmCharm: In spite of the Narm listed above, for some the ending of ''Lava'' manages to be heartfelt and moving, especially when that wonderful harmony kicks in.

Not a funny thing, just a flaw.


* {{Narm}}: ''Lava'', while romantic, is also filled with unsubtle metaphors, weird character designs and song with several [[AccentOnTheWrongSyllable awkwardly-phrased couplets]], which can make it difficult for those not immediately swept up in the story to take it seriously.

** In case you didn't get that ''Float'' was about a father needing to learn to allow his son to be himself, the only line in [[MimeAndMusicOnlyCartoon the otherwise dialogue-free short]] is the father screaming "Why can't you just be normal??"

Some Anvils Need To Be Dropped got cut, going to see if this fits better under An Aesop.


* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped:
** ''One Man Band'' shows that businesses trying too hard to outdo each other only turns away potential customers.
** ''Day And Night'' has an especially obvious message on how something being different isn’t bad, but alongside its theme of trying to achieve harmony it works better because it is unsubtle.
** Regardless on how schmalzy you may think ''Lava'' is, its theme of never giving up hope is none the less poignant.

* {{Applicability}}: The son's ability to fly in ''Float'' is meant to be an analogy for accepting that your child has autism, but it's broad enough to be symbolic of any difference that would set a child apart from other children which their parents would have to struggle to accept.
