Gatto - Pixar Trailer Brings the Mafia to Venice
The protagonist has a gambling debt and has used up almost all of his nine lives
The Venetian underworld has a peculiarity: it is populated by cats. This is the world of Gatto, an original Pixar feature film directed by Enrico Casarosa, who returns to directing after Luca. The newly released footage offers a closer look at Nero, a cat voiced in the original by Mark Ruffalo, who grew up in the city's criminal environment and has now reached a turning point.
Bound by a debt to Rocco, a feared feline boss (Laurence Fishburne), Nero receives an assignment involving the theft of a violin. The operation brings him into contact with Maja, a young street musician destined to change his relationship with the world around him.
Nero and the Weight of the Last Life
But the situation is more complicated than expected: the protagonist has, in fact, used up almost all of his nine lives and no longer has any room for error. His friendship with Maja thus becomes an opportunity to question his choices and seek a path away from Rocco's organization.
The voice cast also includes John Turturro, Isabella Rossellini, Jason Schwartzman, Rhys Darby, and Tracey Ullman; the Italian voice cast is yet to be revealed. The original soundtrack is entrusted to Oscar-winning composer Dario Marianelli. Casarosa and producer Andrea Warren thus revisit the Italian setting already explored with Luca, this time through a Venice with a decidedly more noir character.
Gatto will arrive in Italian cinemas on March 4, 2027.
