After the success of “Hoppers” from earlier this 12 months and every week earlier than “Toy Story 5” hits theaters, Pixar is revealing its subsequent animated film, titled “Gatto.” It’s going to star Mark Ruffalo and Laurence Fishburne as two cats prowling round Italy.
Ruffalo will voice Nero, a scrappy black cat, and Fishburne will play Rocco, a ruthless cat mob boss.
“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,” the logline teases. “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.”
The teaser trailer exhibits a gang of cats hanging out on a rooftop, with one flicking its claws like a mobster would a knife. The scene strikes contained in the shadowy constructing, the place Nero and Rocco interrogate a fellow feline about lacking tuna. The three cats rapidly get distracted, although, by the dangling, shiny lightbulb and string hanging above them. They start pawing on the mild and preventing one another over it, till Rocco chomps down and shatters the bulb.
“Gatto” seems to be to proceed Pixar’s sizzling streak after “Hoppers” and final 12 months’s “Inside Out 2,” which hit almost $1.7 billion on the world field workplace. The brand new movie is directed by Enrico Casarosa and produced by Andrea Warren, the filmmaking staff behind “Luca.” It’s going to launch in theaters March 5, 2027.
