‘Bluey’ Heads to the Big Screen with 2027 Movie Release

Bluey, the hit animated series loved around the world, is heading to the big screen. BBC Studios and The Walt Disney Studios, working with Australia’s Ludo Studio, announced that a feature film starring the blue heeler family will be released in theaters on August 6, 2027.

The movie is being made by Bluey’s creator, Joe Brumm, who is writing and directing the project. Brumm is also serving as an executive producer. Production is handled by Ludo Studio alongside BBC Studios, with Amber Naismith, known for films like Happy Feet and The LEGO Movie, producing.

Richard Jeffery, who worked on the first three seasons of Bluey, will share directing duties. For Disney, the project is overseen by David Greenbaum, president of Disney Live Action and 20th Century Studios.

Returning to voice their characters are Melanie Zanetti as Chilli (Mum) and David McCormack as Bandit (Dad). This will be Bluey’s first time appearing in a full-length movie after years of success as a television series. The film is expected to capture the same warmth and humor that made the show a global favorite.

BBC Studios is backing and licensing the film, while Disney will handle its release in cinemas. Additional support is coming from Screen Australia and Screen Queensland, with the Australian government also helping through the Producer Offset program.

Bluey has grown into one of the most popular kids’ shows on television. It is available in over 140 countries and has been a top performer on Disney+. Nielsen reported that it was the most-streamed show in the U.S. in 2024 and continued leading into 2025.

In the UK, it is the number one kids’ show on Disney+ and CBeebies. The series has also picked up major awards, including a Peabody Award and recognition from the Television Critics Association in both 2023 and 2024.

The show follows Bluey, a six-year-old pup who loves to turn ordinary days into big adventures with her younger sister Bingo, Mum, and Dad. The family’s everyday life has become a global hit because of its humor, creativity, and heart.
