this cat’s on his last life…
Set in the feline-run underbelly of Venice, Italy, Gatto releases exclusively in theaters March 5, 2027.
Previously announced voice cast members Mark Ruffalo, Laurence Fishburne and Enrico Casarosa (who also serves as director) are joined by Bianca Babaşa as Maja; Sherry Cola as Regina; John Turturro as Capitano Briganti; Rumen Sali Shopov as Papu Janko; Rhys Darby as Focaccia; Isabella Rossellini as Contessa; Natasia Demetriou as Charon; Jamie Demetriou as Plague Doctor; Jason Schwartzman as Vivaldi; Saverio Raimondo as Ugo; Jason Mantzoukas as Rico; 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.
The original score for “Gatto” is composed by Academy Award®-winner Dario Marianelli (“Atonement”). The score features violin compositions co-written and performed by renowned Slovak violinist Barbora Botošová.
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” is directed by Enrico Casarosa and produced by Andrea Warren, the filmmaking team behind the Oscar®-nominated feature “Luca.”
Additionally, “Loving Dory,” a new animated short from Disney and Pixar 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! The short is written and directed by Lou Hamou-Lhadj, produced by Mary Alice Drumm and executive produced by Academy Award® winners Pete Docter and Andrew Stanton.
“Gatto” and “Loving Dory” release exclusively in theaters March 5, 2027.

Man this looks so good and I can hardly wait to see it in March. Definitely one of my top 5 most movies of the year next year. Or at the very least in the top 10.
Wish Pixar was leading the way with an interesting art style but it took other films more daring to pave the way. Still, looks great. Glad they caught up.
pixar finally dropped the generic bean mouth artstyle, we're saved
I think this could be THE movie Pixar desperately needs right now!!
CAN’T WAIT!!! 😻🐈⬛
Pixar still brings out more brilliant original films, this one has plenty of potential.
As someone who loves a more stylized cg movie and love cats, this could be pretty good.
I see some amazing references and inspiration from the first short films made by Disney and Pixar here and I am HERE FOR IT!
Cars 4?
I mean, I’m happy Pixar finally started exploring the illustrative style but they’re kind of super late to the party. Not just that, they’re almost using the same storyline as “Puss in Boots” and the black cat from “Flow”. I would arguably say they could have pushed this style much further. Less 3D shading and more toon shaded 2D texturing/hand drawn elements like “Spider-verse” or “The Bad Guys”. I’m sure it will perform well though, and I like to see Venice as a backdrop.
Last Wish meets All dogs go to Heaven.
I thought Pixar woild finally be different
I guess not
Now this has promise, the animation looks great,a semi-original plot and involves cats?! Count me in, cats appear to be the good luck charm of animation 😛
Cat video.
deja vu of puss in boots the last wish
Gatto is basically Puss In Boots: The Last Wish meets soul with this black cat having nine lives! Venice looks beautiful in this animated artstyle!
Love the incredible art style!
Can't wait to watch this on Disney+
I'm so excited for a cute black cat main character. I've got a black cat. And its a unique animation style which is great. I really hope its good.
So… Same idea as Puss in Boots?
Not complaining, it looks awesome.
The Hulk is Nero!
Original premise and unique animation, is this late 90s/early 00s Pixar??
