A ‘Bluey’ Movie is Coming to Theaters in 2027
Given the tremendous popularity of Bluey in the U.S., it’s not unexpected that creators Mike and their team are considering a 2027 cinematic release for a Bluey movie. As of now, specific storyline details remain confidential, but the project was disclosed late last year as being underway, with Mike taking a break from the series to pen and direct the film. Rest assured, the Bluey TV show will carry on uninterrupted on Disney+, ensuring more exciting escapades ahead!
“For quite some time, I’ve felt that Bluey was worthy of a grand cinematic adventure,” Brumm expressed when the project was first unveiled, further emphasizing his desire for it to be an immersive experience for families to cherish together. Considering Bluey racked up over 55 billion minutes of streaming in 2024, there’s no denying that this will indeed be a memorable event, as parents and kids alike are sure to throng the theaters eager to witness their beloved canine friend on the big screen. However, it’s always possible that doubts may linger about the success of a Bluey movie, given it could simply serve as background entertainment for families at home. But will they put forth the effort to watch it in a bustling theater filled with hundreds of other children? Time will tell when we reach 2027.
Regardless of whether the movie meets its hype or not, the TV show “Bluey” is a hit Australian export that hasn’t been this popular in the U.S. for a while. If you haven’t caught up with it yet, don’t miss out! You can stream “Bluey” on Disney+ right now.
