113

A113 (sometimes A-113, A1-13 or A11-3) is an inside joke and Easter egg in media created by alumni of California Institute of the Arts, referring to the classroom used by graphic design and character animation students including John Lasseter, Tim Burton, Michael Peraza, and Brad Bird. Bird first used it for a license plate number in the "Family d**" episode of Amazing Stories. It has appeared in other Disney movies and almost every Pixar movie.
Bird said, "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.'"Classroom A113 is currently the first-year graphic design studio.
