Bluey Movie to Open in Theaters on August 6, 2027

Today, BBC Studios and The Walt Disney Studios, in partnership with Ludo Studio, announced that the feature-length Bluey movie will be released in theaters on August 6, 2027.

Written and directed by Bluey creator Joe Brumm and produced by Ludo Studio in collaboration with BBC Studios, the CG-animated feature is produced by Amber Naismith (Happy Feet, The LEGO Movie) and co-directed by Richard Jeffery (Bluey, Series 1–3).

Joe Brumm is the executive producer, alongside Justine Flynn for BBC Studios, with Charlie Aspinwall and Daley Pearson from Ludo Studio. For Disney, the Bluey movie will be overseen by David Greenbaum, president of Disney Live Action and 20th Century Studios, and his team.

The film features returning voice talent Melanie Zanetti and David McCormack as Mum (Chilli) and Dad (Bandit). The movie marks the big-screen debut of the beloved blue heeler and her family, bringing the Emmy and BAFTA Award-winning series to life like never before.

BBC Studios is financing and licensing the picture with theatrical distribution through The Walt Disney Studios. The Australian government is supporting the film through the Producer Offset and Screen Australia, and support from the Queensland Government through Screen Queensland’s Post, Digital and Visual Effects Incentive.

Available in over 140 markets, Bluey is 2024’s most-watched series globally on Disney+ (based on views). Bluey is the most-streamed show in the first half of 2025 and the most-streamed show of 2024 in the U.S. (Nielsen).

Bluey is also the No. 1 kids’ show on CBeebies and Disney+ in the UK. The show has also garnered numerous awards, including a 2024 Peabody Award and back-to-back Television Critics Association Awards in 2023 and 2024.

Bluey is a loveable, inexhaustible, blue heeler dog, who lives with her Mum, Dad, and her little sister, Bingo. Bluey uses her limitless energy to play games that unfold in unpredictable and hilarious ways, bringing her family and the whole neighborhood into her world of fun.

“I really enjoyed the experience of working with a longer format on ‘The Sign’ in Series 3, so going even further with a feature film feels like a natural extension of that. I’ve always thought ’Bluey’ deserved a theatrical movie,” said Brumm previously.

“I want this to be an experiential event for the whole family to enjoy together. I’m excited to continue to partner with Cecilia Persson, Tom Fussell, and the team at BBC Studios, and Dana Walden, Alan Bergman, and Disney to bring this new ‘Bluey’ story to the big screen.”

Alan Bergman and Dana Walden, co-chairmen of Disney Entertainment, said: “Since its debut on Disney Jr. and Disney+, ‘Bluey’ has become a global phenomenon, uniting families everywhere with its heartfelt stories of play, imagination, and connection.

“We are so proud to expand upon our relationship with BBC Studios to bring the magic of ‘Bluey’ to the big screen – for real life! – and we are deeply grateful to Joe Brumm for creating a world that continues to inspire and delight families everywhere.”

Tom Fussell, CEO of BBC Studios, said: “We are incredibly excited to take ‘Bluey’ to cinemas given its extraordinary success on a global scale – it is some of the most popular IP in the world. It has been such a privilege to work with Joe and the team at Ludo Studio on ‘Bluey’s’ meteoric rise from inception through to becoming one of the most beloved TV shows of all time.

“BBC Studios has a long history of bringing the very best children’s television to the world in new and exciting ways, so working with Joe and the team, we felt a feature-length film was the natural next step. We are pleased to work with Disney on ‘Bluey’s’ eagerly awaited theatrical debut and look forward to partnering with Dana, Alan, and the entire team on this momentous journey.”

Daley Pearson and Charlie Aspinwall, Co-Founders and Directors of Ludo Studio, added: “Over the past eight years, we’ve had the privilege of working alongside an extraordinary team of more than fifty artists and producers whose talent, dedication, and creativity have shaped ‘Bluey’ into the beloved series it is today.

“Their work has paved the way for this incredible opportunity to expand ‘Bluey’s’ world onto the big screen. We’re excited to continue showing Queensland as a home for world-class talent and to share a new beautiful ‘Bluey’ story by Joe Brumm with families around the world.”
