Can a cat reach his final life without reminding viewers of Puss in Boots? Pixar's Gatto trailer has made that a lively question, with commenters drawing connections to The Last Wish, Soul and Flow. Others are focused on the images themselves, describing an animation style that looks close to concept art.
The trailer is comfortably the most watched of Pixar's six new uploads. Mark Ruffalo voices Nero, a Venetian stray whose assignment to steal a busker's violin becomes complicated by friendship. Laurence Fishburne supplies the voice of feline mob boss Rocco. Following its Thursday debut, the trailer has reached roughly 3.6 million views, and remains the channel's busiest video right now.
There is more attached to the release than Nero's adventure. Pixar says "Loving Dory," a new short directed by Lou Hamou-Lhadj, will play before Gatto in theaters. Its premise gives Dory a particularly unfortunate romantic misunderstanding: she mistakes a plastic bag for a jellyfish.
Away from the trailer, The Pixar Show puts the people behind the movement on camera. Animators Kristen Willsher and Theresa Reyes discuss difficult scenes, advice for newcomers and the odd experience of seeing their work become a meme. Two shorter uploads extend that conversation, while Pixar in Real Life takes Inside Out's emotion console into a park for a live-action setup involving passersby.
Pixar's subscriber count was unchanged over the week, although daily viewing is above its usual level. Among fellow studio channels, Disney is enjoying a particularly lively viewing spell, while Universal Pictures is close to its normal daily pace.
Nero isn't doing all the work in Pixar's catalog, either. "Mama Coco Remembers | Coco | Official Clip" continues to draw a substantial daily audience, with the older "Pixar Scariest Moments | Official Compilation" also finding viewers.

I love that the movie literally just looks like its concept art. That's what animation fans have been wanting for a long time
@zacharymccoy7091See it on YouTubeIf I had a nickel for every movie about a cat not valuing its nine lives, I'd have two nickels.
@grey_a-r4lSee it on YouTubeAny story in which a cat literally has nine lives will inevitably revolve around "what happens when they are down to their last life?"

Hmm. So this is basically Puss in Boots: The Last Wish meets Soul.
@isaiahkingston5743See it on YouTubeMy first cat was named Gato. She was a gray tabby who didn’t like to be touched in the summer but loved cuddling in the winter. She hated getting inside the kennel for check ups but loved to roam the woods. She considered the yard her territory and didn’t take guff from any cat or dog. RIP Gato.
@lukasmiller486See it on YouTubeI hope that, like Puss, he realizes how valuable life is (especially when you only have one).
