Overview
- Pixar unveiled the full official trailer Thursday, introducing Nero, a scrappy black street cat voiced by Mark Ruffalo who is tangled with a feline mob boss played by Laurence Fishburne.
- The trailer frames the film around themes of mortality and purpose as Nero confronts his nine lives and visits a dreamlike afterlife guided by a crow.
- Director Enrico Casarosa and producer Andrea Warren, the team behind Luca, lead the project and the film uses a painterly, brushstroke aesthetic paired with an original score by Academy Award winner Dario Marianelli.
- Gatto is scheduled for a theatrical-only release on March 5, 2027, and opening-weekend screenings will include a new Pixar short, Loving Dory, ahead of the feature.
- The credited ensemble cast released with the trailer expands beyond the leads to include multiple international and comedic actors, setting the tone for Pixar's marketing push and global theatrical rollout.
