\n\tDisney<\/a> and BBC Studios have released the first look at \u201cThe Bluey<\/a> Movie,\u201d marking the first time the animated children\u2019s series will be adapted for the big screen.<\/p>\n

\n\tPremiering in theaters Aug. 6, 2027, the film continues Bluey\u2019s adventures with her Mum, Dad and little sister, Bingo.\u00a0Melanie Zanetti will reprise her role as Bluey\u2019s mom, Chilli, from the series, with Richard Jeffrey returning to voice Bluey\u2019s dad, Bandit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe biggest difference from the trailer and the show is a fresh 3D animation style, in which Bluey and Bingo play a game of \u201cKeepy Uppy\u201d with a balloon.<\/p>\n

\n\tSeries creator Joe Brumm writes and directs the movie, with Richard Jeffrey (\u201cBluey\u201d Seasons 1-3) co-directing. Amber Naismith (\u201cThe Lego Movie\u201d) serves as producer, and Jeff Bush provides the score for the Ludo Studio production.\u00a0Executive producers include Brumm, Charlie Aspinwall and Daley Pearson for Ludo Studio and Justine Flynn for BBC Studios. President of Disney Live Action and 20th Century Studios David Greenbaum will oversee the film for Disney. BBC Studios finances and licenses the film with theatrical distribution through Walt Disney Studios.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBluey\u201d first premiered in 2018 and has since transformed into a global phenomenon, becoming the most watched series worldwide on Disney+ in 2024 and receiving an International Emmy Kids Award and BAFTA Children\u2019s and Young People\u2019s Award.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlan Bergman and Dana Walden, the co-chairs of Disney Entertainment, previously said the series has united \u201cfamilies 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 \u2018Bluey\u2019 to the big screen \u2014 for real life! \u2014 and we are deeply grateful to Joe Brumm for creating a world that continues to inspire and delight families everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
