Gatto: Pixar's New Animated Film About a Cat in Venice Gets Trailer Ahead of March 2027 Release

Disney and Pixar have released a new trailer for Gatto, an original animated adventure starring Mark Ruffalo as a black cat caught up in Venice’s criminal underworld. The film will arrive in Indian cinemas in both English and Hindi on March 5, 2027. The newly released trailer also introduces an expanded voice cast, featuring John Turturro, Isabella Rossellini, Jason Schwartzman, Jason Mantzoukas, Rhys Darby and Sherry Cola, among others.

The story follows Nero, a cat who has spent years getting by in Venice. He owes a debt to Rocco, a feline mob boss voiced by Laurence Fishburne, and begins questioning his life as his situation becomes increasingly difficult. Nero eventually forms an unlikely friendship with Maja, a street musician voiced by Bianca Babaşa. With his final life at stake, he must figure out what he really wants from life before Venice catches up with him.

The additional voice cast includes Rumen Sali Shopov as Papu Janko, Natasia Demetriou as Charon, Jamie Demetriou as the Plague Doctor, Saverio Raimondo as Ugo, Matt Jones as Enzo, Austin Madison as Fishmonger, Beatrice Manfredi as Martinelli, Jesse Andrews as Bartolomeo, Tracey Ullman as Luisa and Marco Calvani as Maestro Foscari. Enrico Casarosa, who directs the film, also voices Saverio. Dario Marianelli has composed the original score.

Casarosa previously directed Pixar’s Luca and the animated short La Luna. Andrea Warren, who also produced Luca, returns as producer. The film combines computer animation with a 2D hand-painted visual style.

Pixar will also screen Loving Dory, a new Finding Nemo short, ahead of Gatto. Ellen DeGeneres returns as Dory, who finds herself in an unexpected meet-cute. Lou Hamou-Lhadj writes and directs the short, with Mary Alice Drumm producing and Pete Docter and Andrew Stanton executive producing.
