Are You Ready for a WDW Vacation?
Scott is and he will be attending the Disney Villains Hollywood Bash after the Tower of Terror 10 Miler tomorrow night which his daughter is running in. He will be there taking photos to bring back and share with all of us next week. You can follow Scott’s adventure by clicking this link for his Disney Twitter feed. If you will be there, look for Scott and say “Hi!”. He might have a gift for you.
Can anyone tell Scott why A113 (See ticket number above) is significant in Disney history?
Very interesting!! Thank you everyone. Especially the specific references in movies! I always wondered why the Toy Story license plate was that number, I knew it had to mean something important and special..
Thanks again,
Becky
Scott replies: Disney parks and animation is full of surprises, Becky. Great stuff here by the AllEars community.
A113 is the number of the Classroom John Lasseter and Brad Bird first took graphic design classes. It appears in every Pixar movie. It’s Andy’s mom’s license plate number in Toy Story. The model number of the Camera the diver uses in Finding Nemo. Etc…
Scott replies: Wow…will have to check out all the Pixar movies again, Matt. Thank you for adding in a couple of the films.
Scott:
I know A113 appears in a lot of Pixar movies and believe it is a reference to a classroom in which a lot of animators have taken a class
Scott replies: Correct! Thanks, Steve.
The number A113 refers to John Lasseter, Brad Bird, Pete Docter and Andrew Stanton’s former classroom at CalArts and has made an appearance in every Pixar film.
Scott replies: 100% correct, John! Thanks! I knew about Lasseter but wasn’t sure if there were more Pixar people involved.
i think a113 was a classroom somewhere — pixar classroom?
Scott replies: You got the correct reference, Kelly. Check the other comments for the specifics.
was a class room number
Scott replies: Yes it was…check the other comments for the details about it. Thanks, Tom!
It’s the room number of the animation classroom at Cal Arts where many Disney and Pixar animators went to school.

Scott replies: Yep…as it looks like this was common knowledge by the looks of all the answers. Thanks, Barry!
It is the classroom number of the animation studio that John Later went. It has been in every pixar movie:)
