The Bluey Movie is an upcoming animated comedy film based on the Bluey children's television series. It is written and directed by series creator Joe Brumm, and is produced by Ludo Studio and BBC Studios. In the film, the Heeler family is met with a big surprise during a busy day. Melanie Zanetti and David McCormack reprise their voice roles from the series alongside the anonymous child voice actors.

Both Brumm and executive producer Daley Pearson expressed interest in a film adaptation of the series after working on the long-form episode "The Sign". The film was announced in 2024 and promoted at the D23 Expo in 2026. Australian animation studio Cosmic Dino Studios provides the 3D computer animation, in contrast to the original series' 2D animation.

The Bluey Movie is scheduled to be released in theaters by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures on 6 August 2027.

Premise

The CG-animated film based on the beloved series about Bluey, a lovable, inexhaustible, blue heeler dog who lives with her Mum, Dad, and little sister, Bingo, takes place on an action-packed day when a big surprise changes everything for Bluey and her family.

Voice cast

As with the television series, the child actors are kept anonymous to protect their privacy.[3]

Production

Bluey creator Joe Brumm had enjoyed the experience of working on the long-form series 3 episode "The Sign" and told the press he thought that making a feature film would be the natural next step.[4] Ahead of the episode's release in April 2024, executive producer Daley Pearson expressed interest in creating a film adaptation of the series.[5]

In December 2024, BBC Studios and The Walt Disney Company announced that a Bluey film, provisionally titled Bluey: The Movie, was in development. Brumm was set to write and direct after previously working on the animated television series as the director, writer, and showrunner, while Richard Jeffery will serve as co-director after directing the television episodes "Sleepytime" and "The Sign".[6] The voice cast and crew, including the anonymous child actors, of the regular series will return,[6][7] while Joff Bush will return as the composer.[8] Amber Naismith will serve as the producer, and Cosmic Dino Studio will provide the film's animation.[9][6] In March 2026, the film was found to be titled The Bluey Movie,[10] which was confirmed with the reveal of the teaser trailer at the D23 Expo in August 2026.[1][11]

The Bluey Movie is a joint collaboration between Disney, BBC Studios and Ludo Studio. Disney will handle global theatrical and streaming rights, the latter outside of Australia. BBC Studios will be responsible for financing and licensing rights, and Ludo Studio will produce the film.[12] Financial support for the film is provided by the federal government of Australia and the state government of Queensland by tax incentives.[13]

Release

The Bluey Movie is scheduled to be released theatrically worldwide on 6 August 2027.[14]

Marketing

A teaser trailer was shown at the D23 Expo on 14 August 2026. Viewers shared mixed opinions on social media of the traditionally 2D characters converted to 3D.[15][16][17][18]

Home media

After its theatrical release, the film will stream on ABC iView and ABC Kids in Australia, and Disney+ in United States.[19][8][20]
