Summary

Nero Teaser

Disney and Pixar released the first teaser and poster for “Gatto,” announcing a March 5, 2027 U.S. debut.
The teaser features Nero, a black cat voiced by Mark Ruffalo, and mob boss Rocco, voiced by Laurence Fishburne.
Set in Venice’s feline-run underworld, Nero’s debt to Rocco sparks an uneasy partnership that becomes a friendship.
Director Enrico Casarosa and producer Andrea Warren use a “living-painting” style that mixes 3-D depth with hand-painted brushstrokes.

Summary

Gatto Bridges Sequels

Company executives are positioning Gatto as a bridge between the earlier hit Hoppers and the upcoming Toy Story 5, reinforcing a tightly packed release schedule.
Inside Out 2’s near-$1.7 billion global gross has raised expectations that Gatto will sustain Pixar’s recent box-office momentum.
The lineup of Hoppers, Inside Out 2 and Gatto reflects Pixar’s strategy to diversify settings—from rural farms to the mind’s interior to a Venetian feline underworld—broadening its creative portfolio.

History

Historical Context

Founded as Lucasfilm’s Graphics Group, Pixar secured $10 million from Steve Jobs in 1986 and, after years of hardware setbacks, released Toy Story in 1995—the first fully computer-animated feature, earning about $362 million worldwide. Its success convinced Disney to acquire Pixar in 2006, and the studio now plans the original film Gatto for March 5 2027 alongside Inside Out 2.
