Disney and Pixar have premiered the full-length trailer for “Gatto,” the new original animated feature set to open March 5th 2027.
Enrico Casarosa, who previously directed “Luca,” helms the feature which adopts a brshstroked painting art style, a first for Pixar, with over 65,000 oil-painted frames crafted by a team of more than 100 artists.
In Gatto, after years of maneuvering the canal-ridden, superstitious city of Venice, Italy, a black cat named Nero (Mark Ruffalo) begins to question whether he’s lived the right lives.
Indebted to Rocco (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.
Joining them are 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 is composed by Oscar-winner Dario Marianelli (“Atonement”) with compositions by Slovak violinist Barbora Botošová.
Andrea Warren produces the film while Pete Docter is serving as executive producer. Additionally, “Loving Dory,” a new animated short will play in cinemas ahead of the film.
