Disney and Pixar have released a brand-new trailer and poster for their upcoming original animated adventure Gatto, revealing a massive cast and a special treat ahead of its March 5, 2027, release in cinemas across the UK and Ireland.
Reuniting Luca director Enrico Casarosa and producer Andrea Warren, Gatto takes audiences into the feline-run underbelly of Venice, Italy. The story follows Nero, voiced by Mark Ruffalo, a street-smart cat who begins questioning whether he has lived the right lives after years of navigating the superstitious, canal-filled city. Deeply indebted to local feline mob boss Rocco, voiced by Laurence Fishburne, Nero finds himself backed into a corner and forms an unlikely alliance with a local street musician named Maja. With his ninth and final life on the line, Nero must rely on Maja’s help to uncover his true purpose before the city catches up with him.

Alongside Ruffalo, Fishburne, and Casarosa—who also lends his voice to the film—Pixar has confirmed an extensive supporting lineup. Bianca Babaşa steps into the key role of Maja, joined by John Turturro as Capitano Briganti, Isabella Rossellini as Contessa, Jason Schwartzman as Vivaldi, Jason Mantzoukas as Rico, Rhys Darby as Focaccia, and Sherry Cola as Regina. The cast also features real-life siblings Natasia Demetriou and Jamie Demetriou as Charon and the Plague Doctor, respectively, alongside Tracey Ullman as Luisa, Matt Jones as Enzo, Rumen Sali Shopov as Papu Janko, Saverio Raimondo as Ugo, Austin Madison as Fishmonger, Beatrice Manfredi as Martinelli, Jesse Andrews as Bartolomeo, and Marco Calvani as Maestro Foscari.
Adding to the Italian atmosphere, Academy Award-winning composer Dario Marianelli (Atonement) is writing the film’s original score, which will feature performances by acclaimed violinist Barbora Botošová.
Cinema attendees watching Gatto will also be treated to a brand-new Pixar animated short, Loving Dory, which will play exclusively ahead of the movie. Returning to the world of Finding Nemo, the short brings back Ellen DeGeneres as the voice of the forgetful blue tang fish as she stumbles into a hapless and unexpected “meet-cute.” Written and directed by Lou Hamou-Lhadj, Loving Dory is produced by Mary Alice Drumm with Oscar winners Pete Docter and Andrew Stanton serving as executive producers.
Gatto and Loving Dory will arrive exclusively in cinemas on March 5, 2027.
