I was watching an episode of American Dad last night, and I noticed the license plate of a vehicle, reading 'A 113", as shown here.
This really has me curious…It can’t be a coincidence, but why would Pixar be in any way associated with the creators of American Dad? Your thoughts?

lol I actually thought the missing member himself had changed his alignment to be in an adult animated series.
But yeah, though The Simpsons have already made reference to WALL-E, that was kinda an obvious reference, and this one is more of a trivia, one that little amount of people would notice.

It’s really a CalArts thing more than it is a Pixar thing.
Most likely, someone who worked on the show who went to CalArts had some influence for that scene.

A113
I always thought the way to pronounce it was “A-1-1-3” until I saw WALL•E and they said it as “A1-13”. Even though Mirage says it the latter way, too.
Ditto, Rachel ! Though it does sound pretty cool when it’s said in the ‘proper’ way.
But yeah, as explained, it’s a CalArts thing.

Yeah, only us proper Pixar fans know how to say it correctly.
I also spotted “A113” several times in Disney’s Lilo and Stitch .
That’s kinda cool. I know it’s a CalArts thing, but Pixar would be the first thing I’d think of if I saw that.
