Gatto is an upcoming American animated film produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios. It will be Pixar's 32nd animated feature, and is scheduled to be released on March 5, 2027.

Synopsis

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.

Cast

• Mark Ruffalo as Nero
• Laurence Fishburne as Rocco
• TBA as Maya
• Ismail Elsene as Lauren

Production

Gatto was announced on June 13, 2025, during the Annecy Animation Festival, with Enrico Casarosa set to direct. It features a "living painting" style that blends traditional 2D hand-painted textures with modern CGI.

Release

The film was originally scheduled for release on June 18, 2027, but was rescheduled to March 5, 2027, in order to avoid direct competition with Sony Pictures Animation's Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.
