Emmy and Bafta-winning children’s TV series Bluey is set to be adapted into a feature-length film thanks to Disney and BBC Studios. The film is due to be released in cinemas in 2027 before later streaming on Disney+, with producers saying it will carry the “charm and humour” of the Australian cartoon series. Joe Brumm, who created the series, will write and direct the film, which will feature vocal talent from the TV show including Melanie Zanetti and David McCormack as Bluey’s mother and father.
Speaking about the project, Brumm said: “I really enjoyed the experience of working with a longer format on The Sign in series three, so going even further with a feature film feels like a natural extension of that. I’ve always thought Bluey deserved a theatrical movie. 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.”.
The programme, which is shown on CBeebies, follows the adventures of Bluey, a loveable, inexhaustible, blue heeler dog, who lives with her mother, father and her little sister, Bingo. Tom Fussell, chief executive of BBC Studios, said: “We are incredibly excited to take Bluey to cinemas given its extraordinary success on a global scale. 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.
