Bluey, the first animated feature written and directed by Joe Brumm, hits cinemas on August 4, 2027. Produced by Ludo Studio in collaboration with BBC Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios, this feature marks the big-screen debut of the Australian puppy Bluey and her family.
The film will return to the world of the series centered on Bluey, a six-year-old Australian Blue Heeler who turns everyday life into adventures through her imagination. She shares her games with her little sister Bingo, her dad Bandit, and her mum Chilli, in stories inspired by family life, childhood, and the dynamics between parents and children.
The exact synopsis of this first big-screen adventure has not yet been unveiled. The film is due to hit French cinemas on 4 August 2027, with a subsequent release on Disney+.
The feature film is written and directed by Joe Brumm, the creator of Bluey. It is co-directed by Richard Jeffery, who has already worked on the first three seasons, while Amber Naismith, known for her work on Happy Feet and The Lego Movie, is handling production.
Joe Brumm also serves as executive producer alongside Justine Flynn for BBC Studios, and with Charlie Aspinwall and Daley Pearson for Ludo Studio. Joff Bush, the series’ composer, will score the film.
In the original version, Melanie Zanetti and David McCormack will reprise the voices of Chilli and Bandit. The rest of the voice cast, including the French-dub voices, has not yet been announced.
Launched in Australia and airing since 2018, Bluey has established itself as one of the world’s most beloved family series. Shown in more than 60 countries, it has earned multiple Emmy and BAFTA Awards.
The series thrives on short episodes in which Bluey and Bingo’s play helps explore emotions, learning, and family bonds. Moving to cinema is therefore a scaling up for the franchise, which will have to adapt this universe to the length and narrative structure of a feature film.
The film will be rendered in CGI, unlike the series’ 2D animation. No first look has yet revealed how the characters and sets will be translated to the big screen.
Bluey will hit theaters in France on August 4, 2027. Details about its plot, runtime, poster, and the first trailer are still to be revealed.
