A new trailer and poster for Disney and Pixar’s Gatto arrived on November 12, 2026, along with 17 more voice cast members, including John Turturro, Isabella Rossellini, Jason Schwartzman and Jason Mantzoukas. Gatto opens only in theaters on March 5, 2027, and a new Finding Nemo short called Loving Dory will play ahead of it. This is the first full trailer since the teaser we covered in June.
Gatto is set among the cats who run the back alleys and canals of Venice, Italy. Nero, a black cat voiced by Mark Ruffalo, owes a debt to Rocco, the local feline mob boss voiced by Laurence Fishburne. With his last life on the line, Nero ends up friends with Maja, a street musician, and starts to wonder if he has lived his lives the right way.
The new poster puts Nero front and center, drawn in black with a glowing blue outline, green eyes and one crooked gold whisker. The credits on it list a screenplay by director Enrico Casarosa, Tripper Clancy and Andy Siara, with Pete Docter, Jonas Rivera and Kiri Hart as executive producers.
Bianca Babaşa voices Maja. The new cast also includes Sherry Cola as Regina, John Turturro as Capitano Briganti, Rhys Darby as Focaccia, Isabella Rossellini as Contessa, Jason Schwartzman as Vivaldi, Jason Mantzoukas as Rico, Tracey Ullman as Luisa, Natasia Demetriou as Charon and Jamie Demetriou as Plague Doctor. Rounding out the list are Rumen Sali Shopov as Papu Janko, Saverio Raimondo as Ugo, Matt Jones as Enzo, Austin Madison as Fishmonger, Beatrice Manfredi as Martinelli, Jesse Andrews as Bartolomeo and Marco Calvani as Maestro Foscari. Casarosa has a voice role too.
Music looks like a big part of this one. Dario Marianelli, who won an Academy Award for Atonement, is writing the score, and it will include music from violinist Barbora Botošová. One of the new stills shows Maja playing violin in a Venice square with Nero sitting at her feet.
Loving Dory playing in front of Gatto is the pairing we said was likely back in June, and now it is official. Ellen DeGeneres returns as Dory. Disney’s announcement only says Dory ends up in a “meet-cute.” As we reported from Annecy, she falls for a plastic bag. Lou Hamou-Lhadj wrote and directed the short.
Our take: We were inside the Honda Center in August when Pixar closed its segment of the D23 Entertainment Showcase with Gatto, and the crowd really enjoyed it. What we heard people talking about afterward was the animation style. Pixar is mixing a hand-painted look with computer animation here, and you can see it in the poster and in every one of these stills. Now we wait to see what the popcorn buckets will look like. No theater chain has announced one for Gatto yet. When they do, you will find them in our Movie Theater Popcorn Buckets guide.
Gatto and Loving Dory open only in theaters on March 5, 2027. For more, see our Pixar coverage.
