Nero’s last life brings an unexpected friendship
According to Disney’s updated synopsis, Nero is indebted to Rocco and begins questioning how he’s spent his lives in Venice. With his last life at stake, he forms an unexpected friendship with Maja, a local street musician voiced by Babaşa. That friendship may lead him toward a sense of purpose, provided he survives the city’s dangers.
A painterly look from Luca’s filmmakers
Gatto is directed by Casarosa and produced by Andrea Warren, reuniting the filmmaking team behind Luca. In TheWrap’s June 26, 2026 coverage of his Annecy presentation, Casarosa described an “immersive, expressive painterly look.” He outlined linework, motion smears and multiple-limb effects, alongside water reflections that evoke watercolor and simpler brushstrokes.
Loving Dory joins the theatrical release
Disney also confirmed that Loving Dory, a new short set in the Finding Nemo world, will play before Gatto. Ellen DeGeneres returns as Dory for an unexpected meet-cute. Lou Hamou-Lhadj wrote and directed the short, with Mary Alice Drumm producing.
Walt Disney Studios Canada promotes March 5, 2027 as Gatto’s theatrical release date. Disney’s U.S. movie page lists the same date and currently labels the feature “Not Yet Rated.”
