Disney and Pixar Reveal 'Gatto' Teaser, Confirm Mark Ruffalo and Laurence Fishburne in Voice Cast

Disney and Pixar have unveiled the first teaser trailer for their upcoming animated feature Gatto, alongside news of the film's lead voice actors.

Mark Ruffalo and Laurence Fishburne are set to lead the voice cast, with Ruffalo bringing to life Nero, a scrappy black cat, and Fishburne embodying Rocco, a ruthless feline mob boss. The teaser introduces both characters through an interrogation scene that sets the tone for the film.

The project takes viewers into the "feline-run underbelly of Venice, Italy," where Nero has spent years navigating the canal-laden, superstitious city before beginning to wonder if he's made the right choices. Trapped by debt to Rocco, the local crime boss, Nero is drawn into an unlikely friendship that could provide the direction he's been seeking—if the city itself doesn't stand in his way.

Gatto was initially announced during the Annecy International Animation Film Festival a year ago. The film comes from director Enrico Casarosa and producer Andrea Warren, the creative team behind the acclaimed Luca.

The animated feature arrives in theaters on March 5th, 2027. The teaser emerges ahead of Disney and Pixar's next theatrical release, Toy Story 5, which opens on June 19th.
