Overview
- Pixar published the first teaser on Thursday, June 11, and the studio tweeted that Gatto is arriving in theaters on March 5, 2027.
- The film is directed by Enrico Casarosa and produced by Andrea Warren, and several reports link the project to the creative team behind Luca.
- Gatto follows Nero, a black street cat in Venice who becomes indebted to a mafia leader named Rocco and must form uneasy alliances while facing stigma about being a black cat.
- Laurence Fishburne is reported to voice Rocco in multiple outlets while the report that Mark Ruffalo voices Nero currently rests on a single source and remains unconfirmed.
- The teaser reveals a deliberate, more painterly animation aesthetic that departs from Pixar’s usual look and helps explain the longer production schedule; further casting and marketing details are likely to follow as the release approaches.
