Bluey, le film unveils its first trailer ahead of its release in cinemas on 4 August 2027 in France. Unveiled at D23 2026, this initial teaser signals more than anything a major visual shift for Bluey, Bingo and their family: the feature-length film will adopt computer-generated animation, while the series relies on 2D animation.
These opening shots bring Bluey and her little sister Bingo back to a familiar kids’ game for fans of the series as the two dogs strive to keep a ball aloft, never letting it hit the ground. It’s a playful way to reveal their new look while preserving a familiar thread from the universe created by Joe Brumm. The synopsis for this first, cinema-sized adventure remains under wraps for now.
The film will revisit the world of the series centered on Bluey, a young Australian cattle dog 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 drawn from family life, childhood, and the dynamics between parents and children.
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 leans on short episodes where Bluey and Bingo’s play helps explore emotions, learning, and family bonds. Joe Brumm had already tested a longer format with the special episode The Sign, before expanding this approach into a genuine feature-length film for the cinema.
The first trailer mainly reveals how much the visuals must evolve to scale up. The film will be rendered in CG animation, with greater volume and depth for the characters and environments, while preserving their silhouettes and key defining traits.
Produced by Ludo Studio in collaboration with BBC Studios, Bluey, the Movie will be released in cinemas by Walt Disney Studios. After its theatrical run, the film will also stream on Disney+ in regions outside Australia.
