Overview

During the D23 fan convention, Pixar Animation Studio revealed details for two upcoming original animated feature films.

On August 13, 2026, the studio shared art for ‘Gatto’, a film set in Venice, Italy, following a black cat named Nero. Directed by Enrico Casarosa, the project utilizes an animation style described by Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter as a “living painting” and is scheduled for theatrical release on March 5, 2027.

The film is slated for a theatrical release on March 10, 2028, joining a 2028 slate that includes ‘The Incredibles 3’.
