Pixar has released the official trailer for Gatto, its animated gangster comedy set among the cats of Venice. It opens exclusively in theaters on March 5, 2027, moved up from its earlier June 2027 date.
The story
Nero is a black stray cat who has spent years working the canals of superstitious Venice. Now he's starting to wonder whether he has lived the right lives. He owes a debt to Rocco, the local feline mob boss, and that trouble pushes him into a truly unexpected friendship that might finally lead him to his purpose, if Venice doesn't get him first.
Who's in it
Mark Ruffalo voices Nero and Laurence Fishburne is Rocco. Director Enrico Casarosa voices Saverio, a slapstick pigeon who campaigns for a pigeon union, and Bianca Babaşa plays Maja, a street musician who takes Nero in. The voice cast also includes Sherry Cola, John Turturro, Isabella Rossellini, Rhys Darby, Natasia and Jamie Demetriou, Jason Schwartzman as Vivaldi, Jason Mantzoukas and Tracey Ullman.
Behind the camera
Casarosa directs and Andrea Warren produces, the team behind Pixar's Oscar-nominated Luca. Casarosa wrote the film with Tripper Clancy and Andy Siara. Dario Marianelli, who won an Oscar for Atonement, composed the score, with violin pieces co-written and played by Slovak violinist Barbora Botošová.
In theaters it will play with Loving Dory, a new Pixar short set in the world of Finding Nemo, with Ellen DeGeneres back as Dory.
