Pixar’s New Movie ‘Gatto’ Adds Mark Ruffalo and Laurence Fishburne, Drops Trailer About Mobster Cats

Pixar has released the first teaser trailer for *Gatto*, a new animated film set in Venice featuring a cast of anthropomorphic cats entangled in a mob-like narrative. Mark Ruffalo and Laurence Fishburne will voice lead characters, marking their first Pixar roles. The trailer highlights a dramatic, stylized aesthetic distinct from the studio’s previous works, blending dark humor with a visually striking Italian-inspired backdrop.

Coverage emphasizes the film’s departure from Pixar’s traditional output, with outlets like *Variety* and *Cartoon Brew* framing it as a bold creative risk. *Yahoo* and *ABC7 Los Angeles* focus on the star power of Ruffalo and Fishburne, while *Gizmodo* and *Animation Magazine* highlight the trailer’s visual appeal and feline-centric premise. The response from cat enthusiasts and animation fans has been immediate, with some calling the concept ‘instantly compelling.’

No release date has been announced, but the trailer’s dramatic tone suggests a darker, more mature Pixar project. Watch for further details on the Venice setting, the mob plot’s specifics, and whether this signals a broader shift in the studio’s storytelling approach. Early buzz may also influence casting announcements for additional voice roles.
