When Will the Bluey Movie Be Released?
Mark your calendars for 2027. The movie will debut globally in cinemas before making its way to Disney+. In Australia, the film will also air on ABC Kids and ABC iview after its theatrical run meaning we will be able to watch the movie over and over and over.
Given Bluey’s massive international fanbase — streaming in over 140 countries — the 2027 release will undoubtedly be a major family event worldwide.
Who’s in the Cast?
Good news for fans: the original voice cast is set to reprise their beloved roles. Melanie Zanetti (Chilli Heeler) and David McCormack (Bandit Heeler) will return, bringing back the charm and wit we know and love.
Rumours also suggest a few celebrity cameos might add some star power to the movie. While there’s no confirmation yet, keep your ears open for some familiar voices.
Why Fans Are Excited About the Bluey Movie
Since its debut in 2018, Bluey has become a cultural phenomenon, celebrated for its relatable storytelling and heartwarming depiction of family life. Its universal appeal has made it a hit with parents (and kids), earning an International Emmy and becoming one of Disney+’s most-streamed shows.
The move to the big screen feels like the perfect evolution for the franchise, offering families a shared cinematic experience. Whether it’s Bluey’s hilarious antics, Bingo’s adorable curiosity, or Bandit and Chilli’s relatable parenting moments, the film will no doubt capture everything that makes the show special.
The Creative Team Behind the Movie
Joe Brumm, the creator of Bluey, will write and direct the movie, ensuring it stays true to the heart of the series. The production is a collaboration between Ludo Studio, BBC Studios, and Disney, with the entire film being produced in Queensland, Australia. This local production will create over 130 jobs and contribute more than $35 million to the local economy — a win for Aussie animation.
Interestingly, Brumm has hinted that this movie might be his final project with the franchise for now, as he hopes to take a creative break to maintain the show’s high standards.
