These sources explain the reference, not a frame-by-frame inventory of every film. Both come from CalArts.
A real room behind the code
CalArts identifies A113 as a former character-animation classroom. Its 2016 account names alumni including Brad Bird, Andrew Stanton and Pete Docter who studied there. The reference carries a shared school connection into animation.
The school's 2018 student guide says character-animation classes were no longer held there and graphic-design students used the room. That describes the room at the time of publication, not its present-day timetable.
