The announcement marks a significant milestone for the Emmy-winning show, which has become a global phenomenon since its debut in 2018.
The theatrical release, titled 'Bluey: The Movie,' represents the first feature-length adventure for the beloved blue heeler pup and her family. BBC Studios, which produces the series in collaboration with Brisbane-based Ludo Studio, will partner with Disney to bring this project to theaters worldwide.
The show, which follows the adventures of Bluey, her sister Bingo, and their parents Bandit and Chilli, has garnered unprecedented success, with:
- Over 20 billion views on Disney+ globally
- Multiple industry awards, including an International Emmy Kids Award
- Successful merchandise lines and theme park attractions
The movie adaptation promises to maintain the series' signature blend of heartwarming family moments, authentic parenting scenarios, and gentle humor that has resonated with both children and adults worldwide. While specific plot details remain under wraps, producers have confirmed that the film will feature an original story rather than an extended episode.
This theatrical venture represents Disney's growing confidence in the franchise and its potential to attract families to theaters, following the success of other animated television properties that have made the leap to the big screen.
The release date and additional details about 'Bluey: The Movie' are expected to be announced in the coming months, as production gets underway in Australia. For fans of the show, this theatrical release promises to be a much-anticipated extension of the Heeler family's beloved adventures.
