For the last several decades a secret message has been encoded into 3D animated films, cartoon drawn features, and even blockbuster movies that feature special effects. That secret message, a simple “A113,” can be found in the works of Disney and Pixar films, and various other projects from outside animators.
An internet user recent sat down with many top animals films and TV series to find examples of the mysterious A113 code. Here are a few of their findings.
A Bug’s Life – A113 On A Box
American Dad – A113 License Plate
Brave A113
Cars 2 – A113 On Jet
Cars 2 – A113 On License Plate
Cars – A113 on Train
Finding Nemo – A113 on Camera
Krusty The Clown – A113 – Prison Outfit
Lilo & Stitch – A113 On License Plate
Monsters U – A113 on Door
Ratatouille – A113 Ear Tag
Incredibles – A113 On Cell Phone
Iron Giant – A113 on License Plate
The Princess And The Frog – A113 On Train
Bart Simpson – A-113 Mugshot
Toy Story – A113 License Plate
Up – A113 Courtroom Number
Wall-E Output of A113 Sequence
The Avengers – A113 TV Broadcast Sequence
Surely this must be some secret code that unlocks a magical vault at Disney or Pixar right? Actually the answer to this magical number is simple. It turns out that many of the animators who have worked for Disney, Pixar, and other animation studios over the years, all attended the California Institute of Arts. The room used to teach first year graphic and character animation at that facility is room number A113.
A special thanks goes out to Imgur user The Ghost Who Hates Spills, they compiled many of the found A113 images contained in this post.
