Do you know what A-113 is? Then you might be missing out on something important, or maybe not… See for yourself:
Disney Has Been Hiding Something From You In Plain Sight. I Can’t Believe I Didn’t Notice It Before
Does the code “A113″ ring a bell? It probably doesn’t, but odds are good that you’ve seen several of these movies where it was used for some small detail. Pixar has used the number in many of their films, but what’s the meaning behind it? Let’s take a look:
Does this code look familiar? It’s the license plate of Andy’s mom in Toy Story, but that’s not the only Pixar movie you’ve seen it in.
There was also that box in A Bug’s Life…
The diver’s camera from Finding Nemo…
The coordinates of Mr. Incredible’s cell in The Incredibles…
On a train and Mater’s license plate in Cars…
On a tag in Ratatouille…
It was the code for the Abandon Earth protocol in WALL-E…
The courtroom number in Up…
On Siddley’s tail, a screen, and (once again) on Mater’s license plate in Cars 2…
Engraved in Roman numerals above a doorway in Brave…
On this door in Monster’s University…
And it’s even in non-Pixar films, such as Lilo & Stitch…
The Iron Giant…
The Princess and the Frog…
The Brave Little Toaster…
As well as TV shows like American Dad…
The Simpsons…
And in live action movies, like The Avengers.
So what’s the secret?
A113 is a classroom number at the California Institute of Arts, where many talented animators studied. First-year graphic designers and animators studied here before they went on to work for Disney and Pixar, and the mark that classroom has made was left on many of our favorite films and TV shows.
Now you’ll never miss it again when a movie uses “A113.” What kind of secret mark would you leave if it could be seen by millions?
