Sherry Cola, John Turturro and more join the star-studded voice cast of Pixar's upcoming animated film

LOS ANGELES -- Disney and Pixar are heading to Venice, Italy, for the animated adventure, "Gatto," starring a curious cat and a growing lineup of familiar voices.

The studio just revealed some behind-the-scenes details and several new cast members, joining previously announced stars Mark Ruffalo and Laurence Fishburne.

Joining the cast is Bianca Babaa as Maja, Sherry Cola as Regina, John Turturro as Capitano Briganti, Jason Schwartzman as Vivaldi, Tracey Ullman as Luisa and Rhys Darby as Focaccia.

The film follows Nero (Ruffalo), a cat navigating the winding canals and superstitious streets of Venice.

As he begins to question whether he has made the right choices in life, Nero finds himself in trouble after becoming indebted to Rocco (Fishburne), the city's feline mob boss.

His unexpected way out? An unlikely friendship with Maja (Babaa), a local street musician who could change his life.

The film's original score comes from Academy Award winner Dario Marianelli ("Atonement") and also features music by acclaimed violinist Barbora Botoová.

Also, Pixar is giving audiences an extra treat before the film plays. A brand-new Disney and Pixar animated short, "Loving Dory," will debut along with the film's release.

Set in the world of "Finding Nemo," the short brings back Ellen DeGeneres as the voice of Dory.

This time, the forgetful blue tang finds herself caught up in a funny and unexpected "meet-cute."

"Gatto" and "Loving Dory" will debut exclusively in theaters March 5, 2027.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Pixar and this ABC station.
