Children across the globe eagerly share storylines they’d love to see in Bluey’s first-ever feature film, set for release in 2027.
The Heeler family’s adventures are heading to the big screen, and fans of Bluey couldn’t be more excited. With the announcement of a Bluey feature film slated for 2027, young viewers have wasted no time dreaming up storylines they hope to see in the beloved Australian animated series’ cinematic debut.
Announced by Walt Disney Co. and BBC Studios, the movie will continue the heartfelt and humorous escapades of Bluey, a tireless blue heeler pup, along with her Mum, Dad, and little sister Bingo. Creator Joe Brumm, who shaped the Emmy- and BAFTA-winning show, will pen the script, promising the same charm that has captivated families worldwide.
The series has become a global phenomenon since its 2018 premiere on Australia’s ABC and the BBC in the UK. With relatable family dynamics, poignant storytelling, and clever humour, Bluey appeals to children and adults alike. Its streaming presence on Disney+ in the US and international success with merchandising and themed experiences have solidified its status as a cultural staple.
Fans, particularly children, are brimming with ideas about what the Bluey movie should include. Many suggest a grand family road trip, taking the Heelers on an adventure across Australia or even abroad. Others hope for the introduction of a new family member—perhaps a cousin or another sibling. Themes of friendship, exploration, and the joys of discovery remain central to their imaginations.
Melanie Zanetti and David McCormack, who voice Bluey’s parents Chilli and Bandit, are set to return, ensuring the film retains its familiar warmth. Meanwhile, the anonymity of the young actors behind Bluey and Bingo will be preserved, honouring the show’s commitment to protecting the privacy of its youngest contributors.
Since its inception, Bluey has tackled profound topics with sensitivity, from loss and parenthood struggles to the hilarity of assembling flat-pack furniture. It has earned widespread acclaim for fostering emotional intelligence in children and offering relatable moments for parents. Actress Eva Mendes, a self-proclaimed fan who guest-voiced a yoga instructor, aptly summarised the show’s magic, saying, “It’s fun and deep, hitting all the right notes.”
Speculation about Bluey’s continuation arose after its third season finale, “The Sign,” shattered records with 10.4 million views globally within a week. A surprise bonus episode quickly reassured fans that the Heelers’ story wasn’t over. Now, the announcement of a feature film affirms the franchise’s vibrant future.
Beyond its storytelling success, Bluey has built a vast universe of merchandise and immersive experiences. From toys and apparel to life-sized recreations of the Heeler home, the brand continues to charm audiences young and old. The upcoming movie promises to expand this legacy further, offering a cinematic journey into the world that fans have come to adore.
As anticipation builds, one thing is certain: Bluey’s leap to the silver screen will celebrate the series’ unique blend of whimsy, heart, and humour, creating an unforgettable experience for families everywhere.
