A nod to the classroom where things began


Alex Stewart directed me to an interesting story about how the number A113 appears in virtually every movie made by Pixar Studios.  A113 is the classroom number at the California Institute of Arts where many of the animators at Pixar, Disney and other studios first discovered and mastered their craft.  You can see A113 on a car license in Toy Story, as protocol code in WALL-E, and on an underwater camera in Finding Nemo, just to name a few Pixar films.
