Ever heard of an ‘Easter Egg’?

These are scenes from Pixar films

Did you ever notice this number?

There it is again…

And again…

Surely this is just a coincidence?

Sometimes it’s easy to see…

Like this

Sometimes it’s more cryptic…

It can be difficult to spot…

Like in ‘Brave’ when it appears as the Roman numerals ACXIII

Actually, it appears in all the Pixar films

And some Disney films…

And American Dad…

Even the Simpsons…

And the Iron Giant

And even ‘live’ films like ‘The Avengers’

It actually refers to the room number at the California Institute of the Arts where many animators attended.

A113 is now included as a nod to other animators.
