Exciting news has emerged for fans of the beloved children’s animated series “Bluey.” A feature film inspired by the show is set to hit theaters, as announced officially through social media by BBC Studios, Disney, Disney+, and ABC.
Series creator Joe Brumm shared the news in a heartfelt letter on the show’s website, expressing mixed emotions about the announcement. He began with the positive update: after taking a break to work on other projects, he rediscovered an old idea and penned a Bluey feature script that he is passionate about. This development marks the start of the production process for the animated film.
However, Brumm also addressed the “trifficult” part of the news—his decision to step back from the television series. He believes that if he cannot maintain the quality of the show, which fans have come to love, he would prefer to pause his involvement. The upcoming episode “The Sign” is intended to be a fitting finale for the series.
In his press release, Brumm emphasized the joy he found in working on longer formats during the third series and expressed his belief that “Bluey” deserves a theatrical release, hoping it will serve as a delightful family experience.
Fans can look forward to seeing familiar vocal talents from the series, such as Melanie Zanetti and David McCormack, while the film will feature music composed by Joff Bush. The movie is scheduled to premiere in theaters in 2027 and will also be available on ABC iview and ABC Kids in Australia after its theatrical run.
This upcoming film not only promises to be a wonderful adventure for families but also emphasizes the creativity and dedication of its creator, ensuring that the beloved characters will continue to entertain and inspire.
