Gatto Teaser Goes Into the Feline-Run Underbelly of Venice

Disney and Pixar have released the first teaser trailer and poster for Gatto, an original animated adventure that takes viewers into the feline-run underbelly of Venice, Italy.

Mark Ruffalo (Poor Things, The Avengers, Spotlight, Foxcatcher) has joined the voice cast as the scrappy black cat Nero, and Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix trilogy, Boyz n the Hood, What’s Love Got to Do with It) will voice the ruthless mob boss cat, Rocco.

The Gatto teaser trailer introduces Nero and Rocco as they question another cat in a funny interrogation scene.

In Gatto, after years of maneuvering the canal-ridden, superstitious city of Venice, Italy, Nero begins to question whether he’s lived the right lives.

Indebted to Rocco, 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.

The film is directed by Enrico Casarosa and produced by Andrea Warren, the filmmaking team behind the Oscar-nominated feature Luca. The new film releases exclusively in theaters on March 5, 2027.
