Nero the Black Cat: New Trailer and a Dory Short Film Ahead of the Movie

Nero, the Black Cat unveils a new trailer ahead of its French release, scheduled for March 3, 2027. Directed by Enrico Casarosa, the new feature from Disney and Pixar follows a black cat in debt to Venice’s feline underworld. In its new announcement, Disney also reveals the identity of the ally who will cross his path: Maja, a street musician from the neighborhood.

After years of roaming the streets of the City of Doges, Nero begins to question the lives he has led. But his debts to Rocco, the local feline godfather, put him in a far more urgent predicament. With his last life at stake, he strikes up an unexpected friendship with Maja. Venice’s canals and superstitions provide the backdrop for this encounter.

In the original version, Mark Ruffalo voices Nero and Laurence Fishburne voices Rocco. Bianca Babaşa plays Maja; John Turturro and Isabella Rossellini also join the cast as Captain Briganti and Contessa.

The first teaser already featured Nero and Rocco.
