News Gatto Pixar Would Like to Introduce Your New Favorite Gatto He better have at LEAST nine lives. By Molly Templeton | Published on June 13, 2025 Image: Pixar Comment 0 Share New Share Image: Pixar Black cats are so in right now. Or, you know, at all times (at least that’s what mine would tell you). Slinking along on the heels of last year’s Oscar-winning Flow comes Gatto, the next original film from Pixar, which the company just announced at the Annecy animation festival. Gatto comes from director Enrico Casarosa and producer Andrea Warren, who worked together for 2021’s Luca. Variety says of the duo’s next collaboration: This new Pixar film returns to Italy, Casarosa’s birth country, this time to Venice, where, after years of maneuvering the sea-side, extraordinary city, a black cat named Nero begins to question whether he’s lived the right lives.Indebted to a 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 the mysterious and dark side of Venice gets the better of him first. I don’t know how I feel about the ideal of a cat mob boss—people are always trying to make cats be sinister when they’re just purring furballs that happen to have razor toes—but the image shared is, well, catnip for cat lovers. Pixar also showed Annecy audiences the first two minutes of Toy Story 5, and confirmed that Joan Cusack will return to voice Jessie. Gatto is due in theaters in the summer of 2027.[end-mark] The post Pixar Would Like to Introduce Your New Favorite <i>Gatto</i> appeared first on Reactor.
