It seems to be one never-ending success story for animation studio Pixar. Ever since the Hollywood—based company made that deliciously engaging short film about an Anglepoise lamp, the world has been falling at its feet, and the kid-oriented smashes Monsters Inc, Toy Story and Finding Nemo have helped to bring animation firmly into the mainstream.

Full story, see page 14.
