Pixar fans who have experienced the Easter Eggs in the movies will know about A113. If you have a sharp eye, you have seen "A113" many times when watching Pixar movies. It is the license plate of Andy's mother's car in the "Toy Story" series. It is the prohibition code you often see in "Wall-E". It is on the camera that the diver carries when catching Nemo in "Finding Nemo".
And A113 goes beyond Pixar movies. You can find it in 'Avengers,' 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,' 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes,' 'The Simpsons,' and 'Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol.' It's all around us. And it's clearly not just a crazy coincidence. There's a reason why it's in these movies. And that reason is because animators want to pay homage to where they got their start.
What does A113 mean?
A113 is the code number of the graphic design and character animation department at the California Institute of Arts.
