Movie mystery: Why does the cryptic ‘A113’ appear in nearly every animated film?

Something has been hiding in countless animated movies that you have watched by Disney and Pixar. Even the biggest Pixar and Disney fan has likely overlooked the mysterious code “A113” which makes a brief appearance in nearly every feature film from the famed animation studios. Don’t believe it? The hidden message is everywhere.


A113 simply refers to the classroom number where many animators learned their craft. By putting “A113″ somewhere in the film, these animators are able to give a nod to the other people doing what they do. And that’s awesome.
