there are only 4 walls in a room. The "5th and 6th" walls are not walls, they are a floor and ceiling.

On set there usually isn't a ceiling.

Probably a troll topic but I'll bite.

It comes from stage plays where the back and sides were "walled off" by curtains, leaving only the fourth wall toward the audience open for viewing. The actors are supposed to act as though the fourth wall is actually solid. So addressing the audience directly or using meta information is called breaking the fourth wall.

It's not a troll topic it's common sense. A cube has 6 sides. So calling it the 4th wall makes no sense.

While a cube as six sides. Most Rooms only have 4 walls. As other have said before the the bottom and the top of the room or the cube are not walls.

Oh my god. You guys don't understand the definition of wall. Whether the cartoon/movie is actually using up and down as a wall is completely irrelevant. It is still 6 WALLS.

Yes it's a wall. The room has 6 walls. Just not the type of wall we usually associate the word "wall" with.

And we dubbed the one facing the audience the fourth one.

On a classic stage it'd be the proscenium arch.

Jesus, if you have trouble with this I'd hate to see you try to understand stage directions.

One of your walls (the floor) already has its own set of descriptive terms (Upstage, downstage, stage left, stage right), the others (sides) are the wings, the back is the backdrop, the top is the fly system and the catwalk.
