‘Gatto’ Trailer: This Cat’s on His Last Life in New Pixar Movie

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Pixar has released an official trailer for Gatto. The upcoming film debuts a new animation style for the Disney-owned company, one that blends 2D hand-painted textures with cutting-edge CG animation.

Set in the feline-run underbelly of Venice, Italy, Gatto features the voices of Mark Ruffalo, Laurence Fishburne, Enrico Casarosa (who also serves as director), Bianca Babaşa, Sherry Cola, John Turturro, Rumen Sali Shopov, Rhys Darby, Isabella Rossellini, Natasia Demetriou, Jamie Demetriou, Jason Schwartzman, Saverio Raimondo, Jason Mantzoukas, Matt Jones, Austin Madison, Beatrice Manfredi, Jesse Andrews, Tracey Ullman, and Marco Calvani.

Pixar also announced that Loving Dory, a new animated short set in the world of Finding Nemo, will play in theaters ahead of Gatto. Ellen DeGeneres returns as the voice of Dory in the short, which follows the forgetful blue tang fish as she finds herself in a hapless “meet-cute” with a plastic bag. Mistaking it for a gentle jellyfish, she’s moved by its curious nature and falls head-over-fins in love. But it doesn’t take long for her new romantic entanglement to escalate from a little clingy to outright toxic – and in desperate need of intervention!

Plot Synopsis:

In Gatto, after years of maneuvering the canal-ridden, superstitious city of Venice, Italy, Nero (voiced by Mark Ruffalo) begins to question whether he’s lived the right lives. Indebted to Rocco (voiced by Laurence Fishburne), the local feline mob boss, Nero finds himself in a quandary and is forced to forge a truly unexpected friendship that may finally lead him to his purpose – unless Venice gets the better of him first.

Gatto opens in theaters on March 5, 2027.
