Here's the meaning behind A113:
* It's a classroom at CalArts. CalArts (California Institute of the Arts) is the prestigious art school where many Pixar animators studied. A113 was a classroom at the school.
* A tribute to the past. Pixar animators use A113 as a way to pay homage to their alma mater and acknowledge the shared history of their creative team.
* A subtle signature. It's a fun, playful way to add a small element of personal touch to their films.
You can find A113 in various forms in Wall-E, such as:
* The license plate of Wall-E's probe.
* A sticker on the spaceship's wall.
* The number on a space station module.
While not a major plot point, it's a fun detail for fans of Pixar and CalArts to spot and appreciate!
