Gatto | Teaser Trailer | In Theaters March 5, 2027

Catch a sneak peek of Pixar's next big adventure, 'Gatto,' hitting theaters in spring 2027. Here's your very first look at the studio's upcoming animated world.

Disney·Pixar’s animated film 《Gatto》’s teaser brings a crime drama from the world of cats to the screen through a brief interrogation scene. Centered on Rocco and Nero questioning another cat, it comically introduces the relationship and hierarchy between the two characters. Rocco is the boss of the local cat mafia, while Nero is a black cat who owes him a debt.

The film is set in Venice, Italy, a city filled with canals and superstition. Nero, who has survived in the city for a long time, begins to question whether he has lived properly and finds himself in trouble because of the debt he owes Rocco. Along the way, he forms an unexpected friendship and gets a chance to find his purpose, but Venice itself may swallow him first.

It is directed by Enrico Casarosa, who co-created 《Luca》, and produced by Andrea Warren. Mark Ruffalo voices Nero, while Laurence Fishburne voices Rocco. The film is scheduled to open in theaters on March 5, 2027.

Domestic Release Information

The Korean Film Council’s Korean Box Office Information System (KOBIS) lists the film under the Korean title 《Gatto》, with Walt Disney Company Korea handling its import and distribution. As of October 15, the domestic release date had not yet been registered with KOBIS. Casarosa’s previous film 《Luca》 opened theatrically in South Korea on June 17, 2021, rated suitable for all ages, and drew a cumulative audience of 371,572. Pixar describes 《Luca》 as an Academy Award-nominated film.

A Painterly New Film First Revealed at Annecy

《Gatto》 was first revealed in June 2025 by Pixar Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter during the announcement of Pixar’s lineup at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in France. At the time, its release was announced for summer 2027, before later being set for March 5, 2027. Docter said the film would capture Venice’s painterly textures while preserving Pixar’s signature depth and dimensionality. At Annecy in June 2026, director Casarosa unveiled new footage, highlighting immersive painterly visuals and introducing 2D-inspired expressions that layer multiple limbs over a running character, along with watercolor-like simplified reflections on the water. At that point, animation was roughly halfway complete. The story also features Maya, a young street musician who becomes involved with Nero.
