Bluey Coming to the Big Screen

A Global Phenomenon

Pre-schoolers and parents hooked on the heartwarming animated series “Bluey” might want to take a “tactical wee” to avoid any excited accidents: there’s going to be a film. A feature-length version of the adventures of sisters Bluey and Bingo, and their parents Chilli and Bandit, is set to hit cinemas in 2027, The Walt Disney Company said Tuesday.

A Heartfelt Story

“Bluey has become a global phenomenon, uniting families everywhere with its heartfelt stories of play, imagination and connection,” Alan Bergman and Dana Walden, co-chairmen of Disney Entertainment, said in a statement. “We are so proud to… bring the magic of Bluey to the big screen – for real life!”

The Show’s Success

The Australian series, which began in 2018, features an anthropomorphic family of Blue Heelers – a type of Australian cattle dog – as they navigate childhood and parenting in a Queensland suburb. Episodes offer gently instructive life lessons for youngsters on how to share or how to cope with not getting your own way.

A Show for Parents Too

But they are also popular with parents for their sympathetic portrayal of the real-life ups and downs of looking after little ones. The show’s witty dialogue is shot through with wry observations that anyone who has ever hosted a children’s party – or just tried to get their offspring dressed and into the car – will instantly recognise.

A Quote to Relate To

“The door. It is right here. All we need to do is walk out of it,” laments the mother in one episode.

A Global Reach

The Emmy- and Bafta-winning “Bluey” is available in more than 140 countries, and is the most-watched series globally on Disney+, as well as the most-watched streaming show in the United States, Disney said.

Conclusion

“Bluey” is set to bring its heartwarming and humorous story to the big screen in 2027. With its global reach and widespread popularity, it’s likely to be a hit with audiences of all ages.
