...Megaloblast have been sold, Koil says it is content with its niche following. Other Indonesian rock acts, however, inspired in part by Koil, are going straight for the mainstream jugular. Punk rockabilly act Superman Is Dead, Bali's best-known group, has just signed with Sony. Stoner-rock quartet Seringai is also gearing up for its own debut on disc. All these acts are representative of an underground scene that is creating a new market while stomping on the tradition of bland love songs, which dominates the country's radio playlists and karaoke machines.

Endearing flaws like these, along with an unmatched graphic elegance and elfin wit, have made Pixar's first four features--Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2 and Monsters, Inc.--the gold standard in computer-generated imagination.
