Easter egg used in media
The door of Room A113 c. 2005A113 and its variants are an inside joke and Easter egg in media developed by alumni of California Institute of the Arts, referring to the classroom used by graphic design and character animation students.[1]
Students who have used the classroom include John Lasseter, Pete Docter, Chris Sanders, Tim Burton, Michael Peraza, and Brad Bird. It has appeared in several Disney films and almost every Pixar movie.[2]
Brad Bird first used it for a license plate number in the "Family Dog" episode of Amazing Stories: "I put it into every single one of my films, including my Simpsons episodes—it's sort of my version of caricaturist Al Hirschfeld's 'Nina'."[3] It also appears in South Park, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Family Guy, American Dad!, Doctor Who and the SPA Studios animated film Klaus (2019).[4] The first movie Bird used it in was The Brave Little Toaster (1987), in which he worked on as an animator.[2] It can be seen as The Master's apartment address when Toaster and his friends knock on the door. It also appears in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol on an agent's poison ring and in the script when Ethan Hunt requests evac at rendezvous point Alpha 113.
Brad Bird's film Tomorrowland (2015) was produced by A113 Productions.
