Pixar's newest movie, "Finding Dory," is in theaters Friday.
If you're a true Disney and Pixar fan, you're probably not only excited for the sequel to 2005's "Finding Nemo," but also for the barrage of Easter eggs that are certain to be hiding in plain sight.
An Easter egg, as it relates to movies, is when the movie's creators hide something in the film that's an intentional inside joke.
John Lasseter, cofounder of Pixar and now overseer of all animation projects at Disney, is no stranger to the Easter egg world. Both of the companies he's led, particularly Pixar, have included dozens of Easter eggs in their movies. For instance, nearly every Pixar movie is known to include a hidden Pizza Planet truck from "Toy Story."
Other Easter eggs are based on real-world locations. There are obvious ones — in the beginning of the 2006 movie "Cars," the announcer says the entire town of Emeryville will be closed for the race; Pixar Studios is in Emeryville, California — but some Easter eggs aren't so obvious.

References to A113.
Perhaps the most famous of all the Pixar Easter eggs are references to A113. References to A113 can be found in all Pixar movies, some Disney movies, and even in "The Simpsons" and other animated shows and films. References to A113 can also be found in video games. Chances are, if an alum from the California Institute of the Arts is somehow involved, A113 will be included in the animation.
That's because A113 is the classrooms used by the graphic design and animation students at the school, including John Lasseter.
The real CalArts is located in Southern California.
Fenton's Creamery in Pixar's "Up" is located in Oakland, California.
At the end of the movie, Russell and Carl can be seen eating an ice cream cone on the sidewalk in front of Fenton's Creamery.
