Disney and BBC Studios have revealed the release date for the upcoming Bluey movie.
Kids will be munching on choc tops and running up and down the aisles when the film is released globally on 6 August, 2027.
The Bluey movie will written and co-directed by series creator Joe Brumm and is a Ludo Studio production. As you would expect, the voice talent from the series will return with Melanie Zanetti as Bluey’s mom Chilli and David McCormack as dad Bandit. Series composer Joff Bush will also be back to provide the score.
Richard Jeffrey will co-direct alongside Brumm, with Amber Naismith (Happy Feet,The Lego Movie) producing. Joe Brumm is the executive producer, alongside Justine Flynn for BBC Studios, with Charlie Aspinwall and Daley Pearson from Ludo Studio. For Disney, the film will be overseen by David Greenbaum, president of Disney Live Action and 20th Century Studios, and his team.
After the film finishes its cinema run, it will be available to stream on ABC iView and ABC Kids in Australia. Everywhere else, it will be streamed on Disney+.
The show is a global phenomenon and regularly ranks as one of the most watched shows in the world. In the US alone, 25 billion minutes of Bluey were viewed in the first half of 2025, with Nielsen ranking it the most streamed show. It was ahead of second slot Grey’s Anatomy with 22 billion minutes streamed across 449 episodes on Hulu and Netflix.
2D or not 2D? That is the question
There is some speculation from fans about the visual look-and-feel of the movie. Announced as a CG-animated film, many have taken this to mean that the movie will shift to a 3D animation-style, leaving its 2D television look behind. Animation for the feature film will not be done by the team at Ludo Studio who handled the TV show, instead Brisbane’s Cosmic Dino will take over. The TV series was produced with computer animation also, so these concerns may be unfounded.
Bluey nodded to its own computer animation in a season three episode which broke the fourth wall by showing how the show is animated.
In June Cosmic Dino, known for films Scarygirl and The Sloth Lane, opened a new production studio ahead of getting started on the Bluey feature film.
