Bluey Goes 3D
Bluey Movie Teaser Reveals Major 3D Animation Shift, Sets August 2027 Theatrical Debut
Key Points
BBC Studios is financing The Bluey Movie while Disney will license the film and oversee worldwide theatrical distribution, with Disney+ to follow after the theatrical window.
Ludo Studio (Brisbane) is producing the film for ABC and BBC Studios; series creator Joe Brumm is writing and directing, with Richard Jeffery co-directing, Amber Naismith producing, and Joff Bush scoring.
Bluey is a global property, available in more than 140 countries, and has been among Disney+’s most-watched titles in 2024 and 2025.
The Bluey Movie was first announced in September 2025, confirming the theatrical plan well in advance of the 2027 release.
At D23, fans could meet Bluey and Bingo at 'The Bluey Movie Booth' on the show floor, reflecting the event’s dedicated Bluey presence.
Bluey is heading to the big screen — and for the first time, fans can see what that looks like. Disney unveiled the first teaser trailer for The Bluey Movie at its D23 event in Anaheim, revealing Bluey and Bingo rendered in full 3D animation for the very first time, according to Deadline. The film is set for a worldwide theatrical release on August 6, 2027, followed by streaming on Disney+.
The teaser debuted at D23's Entertainment Showcase and gives a glimpse of the beloved Heeler family in a bold new visual style. What's On Disney Plus reports the footage features playful balloon antics and keepy-uppy games — classic Bluey moments, now on a cinematic scale.
Bluey Goes 3D in a Major Visual Shift
The switch from the show's flat, hand-drawn style to 3D animation is the biggest creative change fans will notice. WDWNT confirmed the film will feature Bluey, Bingo, Bandit, and Chilli in the new format. Creator Joe Brumm is writing and directing, keeping the same voice behind the series in charge of its biggest chapter yet.
Returning voice actors Melanie Zanetti and David McCormack reprise their roles as Chilli and Bandit. Richard Jeffery is co-directing, Amber Naismith is producing, and series composer Joff Bush is scoring the film. The goal, according to early descriptions, is to keep Bluey's warmth intact while expanding into a full feature-length story.
A Three-Way Studio Deal Powers the Film
The Bluey Movie is the result of a major partnership. BBC Studios is financing the film. Disney is licensing it and handling worldwide theatrical distribution. Ludo Studio, based in Brisbane, Australia, is producing it for ABC and BBC Studios, according to Disney Food Blog.
The film was first announced in September 2025, giving studios nearly two years to build buzz before the August 2027 release. Consequence noted the movie is expected to be a massive box office draw, given the franchise's global reach. Bluey is available in more than 140 countries and was one of Disney+'s most-watched titles in both 2024 and 2025.
D23 Gave Fans a Full Bluey Experience
D23 wasn't just about the trailer. Disney set up a dedicated space called 'The Bluey Movie Booth' on the show floor, where fans could meet Bluey and Bingo in person. The event also featured new posters teasing the film's expanded cinematic look, according to What's On Disney Plus.
The strong D23 presence signals how seriously Disney is treating this release. A beloved kids' show crossing over to theaters is always a risk. But with Bluey's track record — and a creator-led team staying true to the source — the studio is betting that fans will follow Bluey anywhere, even into a multiplex.
