In a move bound to thrill fans, a "Bluey" feature film has been announced. BBC Studios and Disney revealed this delightful canine story will soon grace the big screen. The much-loved Australian pup will leap into cinemas in 2027, promising a treat for both kids and grown-ups. But luckily, new episodes are likely to land on screens before the cinematic release.
Big Screen Adventure
BBC Studios and The Walt Disney Company confirmed their collaboration on this first-ever animated film. "Bluey," already a smash hit and the top streaming series of 2024, will now be adapted for theaters. Disney holds the rights to the global theatrical release, followed by streaming on Disney+. Fans worldwide can eagerly await its grand debut plus digital availability.
Joe Brumm, the creator of "Bluey," is both writing and directing the movie. This film extends the charm, wit, and family-centric themes that have made Bluey famous across the globe. Produced by Ludo Studio in cooperation with BBC Studios, the story guarantees audiences a continuation of the vibrant adventures of Bluey, her mum, dad, and cheeky sister, Bingo.
Star-Studded Expressions
Brumm, reveling in this project, expressed his excitement. He enjoyed experimenting with longer formats during the series and found a feature film a natural fit. His aim is for the movie to be a shared experience for families, enhancing their beloved Bluey memories.
Disney bigwigs Alan Bergman and Dana Walden also showed eagerness. Since Bluey’s launch on Disney Jr. and Disney+, the canine charmer has united families around the globe. They are thrilled to bring this magic to cinemas in partnership with BBC, ensuring a joyful experience for audiences everywhere.
The CEO of BBC Studios, Tom Fussell, praised Bluey’s global success. He emphasized the privilege of working with Ludo and hailed Bluey as a cherished show worldwide. Transitioning it to a full-length film feels like an evolutionary step. Fussell expressed enthusiasm for enhancing this successful collaboration with Disney, underlining the film’s importance.
Creative Forces Unite
Ludo Studio co-founders Daley Pearson and Charlie Aspinwall are proud of their dedicated team. Over eight years, the talented group of artists and producers shaped Bluey’s captivating world. Their contribution sets the stage for a cinematic expansion of Bluey’s universe, which showcases Queensland as a hub of creativity. Pearson and Aspinwall are eager for audiences to experience the new Bluey narrative created by Joe Brumm.
Fans will hear the familiar voices of Melanie Zanetti and David McCormack, playing Bluey’s parents. Music by Joff Bush will be another highlight. Amber Naismith, known for hits like "The Lego Movie," will produce the film. Richard Jeffery returns to co-direct, contributing his expertise from Bluey’s earliest seasons.
Disney and BBC Studios are powering the production’s distribution. Supported financially by the Australian government, the project benefits from both the Producer Offset and Screen Australia. Queensland Government’s incentives further aid the film’s post-production phases.
Upon its theatrical run, Disney+ will stream the movie. Australian viewers will catch it on ABC iView and ABC Kids after its cinema release. Already available in over 140 countries, Bluey stands as the most-streamed series of 2024. With numerous awards and an ever-growing fanbase, "Bluey" is set to continue her reign into the cinematic realm.
