Pixar has been releasing beloved films for as long as we can remember, and we’re SO ready to catch the newest Pixar movie, Elio, in theaters soon.

Of course, we’ve got Toy Story 5 to look forward to, but these aren’t the only projects that Pixar currently has up its sleeves. According to Variety, DisneyPixar’s Chief Creative Officer, Pete Docter, just released an ENTIRELY new list of upcoming projects, and one is a movie called Gatto, which is, yes, ABOUT A CAT.
Disney and Pixar are currently attending France’s Annecy Animation Festival, and they’re using it as an opportunity to make some pretty big announcements, including revealing what Pixar’s next movie will be. Gatto is about a black cat named Nero who lives in Italy as he “begins to question whether he’s lived the right lives.” Nero’s tail loves music (okay, what is THAT about?) is indebted to a local feline mob boss, though, which complicates things. In the meantime, he also forges a friendship with a street artist who adopts him against his will.

We’ve still got a bit of a wait for Gatto to hit theaters, though — it’s not expected to premiere until 2027. However, it will be directed by Enrico Casarosa and produced by Andrea Warren, who brought us the highly underrated Luca, another Pixar movie set in Italy. Pixar unveiled animation tests of the film, which so far has a hand-painted look, something different from what we’re used to from the studio. It’s unclear if this art style is just being used for the concept art, or if it will carry over to the actual film.

In the meantime, you can get your Pixar fix when Elio lands in theaters on June 20th.
