Get ready for all the laughs, heartwarming moments, and family fun you love – coming soon to a cinema near you!
BBC Studios and Disney have teamed up to bring this exciting new chapter for the Heeler family to life. Disney will handle the global release, with the film streaming on Disney+ after its theatrical run. Australian fans can also catch it on ABC iview and ABC Kids.
Created by Bluey’s Joe Brumm, who will write and direct, this movie promises all the charm, humour, and heart that made the show a global hit.
The beloved voices of Melanie Zanetti (Chilli) and David McCormack (Bandit) will return to voice the Heeler family, with music from the show’s iconic composer, Joff Bush.
A big-screen adventure for the whole family
Creator Joe Brumm shared his excitement about bringing this new story of Bluey to the big screen.
“I really enjoyed the experience of working with a longer format on The Sign in Series 3, 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.”
BBC Studios CEO Tom Fussell highlighted the show’s global impact:
“We are incredibly excited to take Bluey to cinemas given its extraordinary success on a global scale – it is some of the most popular IP in the world. 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. BBC Studios has a long history of bringing the very best children’s television to the world in new and exciting ways, so working with Joe and the team, we felt a feature-length film was the natural next step.”
Meanwhile, Disney Entertainment co-chairmen Alan Bergman and Dana Walden emphasized the show’s universal appeal:
“Since its debut on Disney Jr. and Disney+, Bluey has become a global phenomenon, uniting families everywhere with its heartfelt stories of play, imagination and connection. We are so proud to expand upon our relationship with BBC Studios to bring the magic of Bluey to the big screen – for real life! – and we are deeply grateful to Joe Brumm for creating a world that continues to inspire and delight families everywhere.”
Made in Australia, loved all over the world
Produced in Brisbane by Ludo Studio, the film showcases the world-class talent of over 50 artists and producers. It also celebrates Queensland as a hub for creativity, with support from Screen Queensland and the Australian government.
Daley Pearson and Charlie Aspinwall, co-founders of Ludo Studio, reflected on the team’s journey:
“Over the past eight years, we’ve had the privilege of working alongside an extraordinary team of more than fifty artists and producers whose talent, dedication, and creativity have shaped Bluey into the beloved series it is today. Their work has paved the way for this incredible opportunity to expand Bluey‘s world onto the big screen. We’re excited to continue showing Queensland as a home for world-class talent and to share a new beautiful Bluey story by Joe Brumm with families around the world.”
