Magnificent wild trailer for Pixar’s Nero, the Black Cat
A tale about the nine lives of a feline mafioso on the streets of Venice…
“Isn’t life beautiful? Fly, have fun… die, occasionally!“
He has nine lives, but isn’t really going to take care of them. Pixar puts itself in the pads of a little black cat wandering in Nerohis new tale with a sumptuous aesthetic, which deliberately breaks with the studio’s traditional photorealism.
“What excites me is thinking of these images as paintings. Emotion must guide the way we represent a moment. Color, light, composition can convey a precise feeling“, confides director Enrico Casarosa to Première.
It must be said that the Venetian decor – to die for – deserved an extraordinary brushstroke. A delicious atmosphere, to tell the adventures of this alley feline, in the pay of a big mafia cat, and who will begin to wonder if he is really using his nine lives well… Or the existential questioning from the point of view of a cat!
Nero will be voiced by Mark Ruffalo in the original version – and Rocco, his ruthless feline mafia boss – will be voiced by Laurence Fishburne.
“Venice, its canals, its superstitions. After years of wandering the streets of the City of the Doges, Nero, a black cat with a busy past, begins to wonder if he really led the good life. In debt like never before to Rocco – the godfather of the local underworld – he finds himself in such a delicate situation that he has no other choice but to form a friendship as improbable as it is essential which could finally reveal to him his true reason for being… Unless Venice has the last word!” details the synopsis.
Nero – who will be called Gatto across the Atlantic – directed by Enrico Casarosa (already behind Lucas in 2021, released directly on Disney+) will be released on March 3 in cinemas in France.
