The Bluey Movie: What Is Confirmed About the 2027 CG Feature?
The Bluey Movie is the first feature-length film based on the Australian animated series about Bluey, Bingo, Bandit, and Chilli. BBC Studios, Walt Disney Studios, and Ludo Studio have confirmed a worldwide theatrical release for August 6, 2027. It will be distributed in cinemas by Walt Disney Studios. (bluey.tv)
Who is making the film?
The movie is being written and directed by Joe Brumm, the creator of Bluey. That connection matters because the series is known for short stories built around imaginative play, family relationships, and small emotional moments rather than a single continuing adventure.
Ludo Studio is producing the film in collaboration with BBC Studios. Amber Naismith, whose credits include Happy Feet and The LEGO Movie, is producing, while Richard Jeffery, a director associated with the first three seasons of Bluey, is co-directing. The production team also includes executives from Ludo Studio, BBC Studios, and Disney. (bluey.tv)
Will it look different from the television series?
Official announcements describe the project as a CG-animated feature. That means the film is being produced with computer-generated imagery rather than the television show's conventional 2D production approach. A feature-length production can use more elaborate camera movement, lighting, environments, and visual effects, but the format alone does not establish how extensively the characters or settings will be redesigned.
Any early teaser or presentation footage should therefore be read as a preview of the production, not necessarily a final representation of every scene. Animation can continue to change during development, editing, lighting, and visual finishing.
Which characters and voices are returning?
The confirmed returning voice performers include Melanie Zanetti as Chilli and David McCormack as Bandit. The official announcement also says the film will feature music by Bluey composer Joff Bush, linking the feature to the sound and character performances audiences already associate with the series.

The available official material does not yet provide a complete plot synopsis, full cast list, or detailed description of the movie's central conflict. Claims about specific story events, new character designs, or the amount of screen time given to individual family members should be treated cautiously until the filmmakers publish more information.
Where will it be available afterward?
The announced release plan begins with cinemas worldwide. After the theatrical run, the movie is expected to stream on Disney+. In Australia, the official announcement also says it will later be available through ABC iview and broadcast on ABC Kids. (bluey.tv)
That theatrical-first strategy makes the film different from an ordinary new episode or streaming special: it is being positioned as a shared family event while retaining the show's established creative leadership and characters.
