Obviously, the blog is largely based around the famous 4 letter code, A113, the room number on a room at CalArts (the famous animation school set up by Walt Disney), where oh so many famous animation legends have walked out of - John Lasseter, Brad Bird, Andrew Stanton, Pete Docter, Tim Burton etc... So I thought it would be a good idea to compile a huge list of all of the uses of the code I can find, the blog is named after it after all! Feel free to comment and let me know of any more you've found.

CalArts alum, Brad Bird. |
|

Do the Bartman (Bart's prisoner number) - A Simpsons music video, also
directed by Brad Bird, who it seems thinks A113 makes a great prisoner ID.

the film) |

The code also features three times (once audibly) in Brad Bird's live-action debut,

Meet the Robinsons,
Planet 51 and even in live-action epics, such as
Terminator Salvation,
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace,
Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Marvel's
The Avengers! We'll add them as we find them, but if you happen to have a screenshot of any of these (or other) references, please email them to us at
