# **Walt Disney Studios Moves Pixar Animation Studios “Gatto” Release** **To****Spring, 2027**. The feline mob is now set for March 2027. Walt Disney Studios has moved the release date of “Gatto” from a Summer, 2027 release to a Spring 2027 premiere. The original film from Pixar Animation Studios will now hit the big screen on March 5, 2027. The reason of the delay comes as Summer 2027 is very packed with multiple rival studios with tons of IP projects such as **Sony Pictures Animation “Spiderman: Beyond The Spiderverse”** for June 18, 2027. **Dreamworks Animation “Shrek 5”** slated for a June 5, 2027 release, **DC Studios “Superman Man Of Tomorrow” **slated for a July 9, 2027 release and**Warner Bros Pictures & MOJANG “The Minecraft Movie 2”** set for July 23, 2027. It’s clear that Walt Disney Studios wants to avoid the film flopping at the box office by moving the film to a Spring, 2027 . According to DEADLINE, Disney already had March 5 on hold for awhile and decided that it was the perfect day for the original Pixar feature. > **“ Gatto”** focuses on a black cat named Nero, who is indebted to a feline mob boss however Nero will end up adopted by a female painter that may finally lead him to his purpose. The film will combine CGI animation with traditional 2D animation. **“ Gatto” **is directed by**Enrico Casarosa ( “Luca”, “La Luna”)** and produced by **Andrea Warren ( “Luca”, “Lava”, “Brave”)**.
