August 6, 2027 — Bluey’s first theatrical feature lands worldwide
The Bluey movie opens in cinemas Friday, August 6, 2027. Joe Brumm — the Brisbane creator who built the Emmy- and BAFTA-winning shorts — writes and directs the CG feature with Richard Jeffery co-directing and Amber Naismith producing under Ludo Studio, financed and licensed by BBC Studios with Walt Disney Studios distributing theatrically.
Official materials keep it simple: continue the adventures of Bluey the blue heeler with Mum, Dad, and Bingo. Zanetti and McCormack are back as Chilli and Bandit. After theaters, Disney+ (plus ABC platforms in Australia) is the stated streaming path.
Confirmed: Aug 6 theatrical feature — not a Disney+ day-one dump, not a clip show
Confirmed: August 6, 2027 global cinema date; Brumm directing; Ludo + BBC Studios + Disney theatrical; returning Heelers voices; post-theatrical Disney+ window. Not confirmed as a silent Pixar-style “secret prestige” pivot away from kids, or as a replacement for new TV seasons. Scrapers dating “Bluey movie 2025/26” from early rumor cycles are outdated.

Before August — keepy-uppy for grown-ups
- Book a cinema with kids who still nap — runtime will be feature-length, not seven minutes.
- Do not expect a day-one Disney+ unlock; theatrical is the stated first window.
- Queensland / Screen Australia support means Brisbane DNA stays — not a Los Angeles soft reboot.
- Ignore fake 2025–26 movie Fridays.
- TMNT Mutant Mayhem 2 is the following weekend (Aug 13) — different turtle entirely.
A show built in seven-minute games is attempting a full cinema runtime without changing the creator
Bluey became a global Disney+ juggernaut as micro-adventures: keepy-uppy, grannies, sticky gecko energy in bite-size episodes. The August 6, 2027 movie is the rare preschool leap where the series creator still holds the pen and the chair — Brumm writing and directing the feature instead of handing Brisbane’s Heelers to a work-for-hire tentpole team.
That continuity is the SEO differentiator. This is not “Bluey: The Compilation.” It is a dated theatrical film from Ludo, BBC Studios, and Disney with a real Friday.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this release date.
1When does Bluey The Movie open?
August 6, 2027 in cinemas worldwide — the date locked by BBC Studios, Ludo Studio, and Walt Disney Studios on bluey.tv and Disney’s announcement. Not a vague “summer 2027” window.
2Who is making it?
Series creator Joe Brumm writes and directs; Richard Jeffery co-directs; Amber Naismith produces for Ludo Studio with BBC Studios financing/licensing and Walt Disney Studios handling theatrical distribution. Joff Bush returns for the score.
3Will the TV cast return?
Melanie Zanetti (Chilli) and Dave McCormack (Bandit) are confirmed returning. The feature continues Bluey, Bingo, and the Heelers’ play-based adventures — big-screen debut for the family, not a recast reboot.
4Is it just stitched TV episodes?
No. It is a CG-animated feature-length film written for cinemas, then headed to Disney+ (and ABC iview / ABC Kids in Australia) after the theatrical run. Treat “movie night of Season 3” uploads as fan playlists, not this SKU.
