A113 References

All Pixar fans are familiar with the iconic A113 references in every Pixar movie. A113 (pronounced A1-13) was the classroom number used by character animation students at the California Institute of the Arts. A bunch of its alumni continued to work at Pixar, have have established this tradition of using A113 in all Pixar movies.

Disney Eggs

Movies in Zootopia

Zootopia is hands down one of my favorite Disney movies. Throughout the movie there are many little references to the outside world, but this Easter egg might be my favorite.

In Zootopia, we meet a street vendor named Duke Weaselton. He is busy selling different knock-off Disney movies to the buyers. These movies include Wrangled (Tangled), Pig Hero 6 (Big Hero 6), Wreck-it-Rhino (Wreck-it-Ralph), Meowana (Moana), and Floatzen 2 (Frozen 2).

Ironically, the street vendor himself is an easter egg as well. Alan Tudyk, the voice of Duke Weaselton, also voices a Disney character in Frozen– the Duke of Weselton!

“It’s called a hustle, sweetheart.”

Baymax in Moana

When we are first introduced to the Kakamoras in Moana, we can see a friendly face. The iconic Baymax eyes, from Big Hero 6, are pictured on one of the Kakamoras.

This scene takes place when Moana and Maui are on the sailboat attempting to reach the island of Te Fiti to restore her heart. The ride is going pretty well, when they reach the island of the Kakamoras. Let’s just say, they know how to turn from cute to dangerous real quick!

For those who might not know, Baymax is one of the main characters in the Disney movie Big Hero 6. A teenager designs Baymax, a robot whose sole purpose is to take care of people. However, when things start to go downhill, Baymax is forced to become a superhero.

“Hello. I am Baymax, your personal healthcare companion.”
