Hold onto your hats, members of the Seniors Discount Club, because the news we're about to share is bound to sweep you off your feet, especially if you're a grandparent to young ones or simply a fan of quality children's programming. The beloved Australian animated series Bluey is leaping from the small screen to the silver screen, and it's set to be an event that will capture the hearts of families across the globe.


Yes, you heard that right! Bluey, the show that has charmed its way into our living rooms and into the hearts of our grandchildren, is getting its very own movie. The Brisbane-based Heeler family, with their relatable adventures and heartwarming stories, will be taking center stage in what's anticipated to be a global cinematic sensation.


The film is being crafted by the original creators at Ludo Studios, with a sprinkle of Disney magic for good measure, and is slated for release in 2027. For many parents and grandparents who have watched the seven-minute episodes on loop, this announcement is a dream come true.


Earlier this year, we were treated to a longer narrative with the premiere of The Sign, a 28-minute special that had everyone on the edge of their seats. The story's emotional depth and the possibility of Bluey and her sister Bingo moving away from Queensland had us all hooked, demonstrating the show's ability to engage and entertain across generations.

The upcoming animated film promises to 'continue the adventures of Bluey, a lovable, inexhaustible blue heeler dog, who lives with her Mum, Dad, and her little sister, Bingo.' While details on the plot are scarce, we can expect the same blend of humor, life lessons, and family dynamics that have made the TV series a hit.

Bluey has not only been a source of entertainment but also an educational tool for many adults. The parenting techniques of Bandit and Chilli, Bluey's parents, have provided more insight than many traditional parenting books, showcasing the show's depth and relevance.


The production is set to be a boon for local talent, with 130 jobs created in Queensland to bring Bluey's animated world to life. However, given the show's international acclaim—it was the most-watched series globally on Disney+ in 2024—we can expect some star-studded voices to join the cast. With celebrities like Rose Byrne and Joel Edgerton having already lent their voices to the show, who knows which Hollywood A-lister might be next?

But with every silver lining comes a cloud, and for Bluey fans, it's the announcement from the show's creator, Joe Brumm, that there will be no season four while the film is in production. Brumm has decided to step back from the TV series, feeling that he couldn't maintain the high standard set by previous seasons. The Sign may very well be his TV finale for Bluey, written as a poignant farewell.

While it's not the end of Bluey, it is the end of an era with Brumm's departure. The show, inspired by his own children who have now grown up, may evolve in new directions under different creative hands. The question remains: will Bluey and Bingo grow up too, or will they remain the playful pups we've come to adore?


For those of us with grandchildren, the anticipation for the Bluey movie is palpable. We've embraced the world of Bluey with open arms, collecting merchandise and sharing in the joy it brings to our little ones. And when the film finally arrives, we'll be there, dollar bucks in hand, ready for a family outing to the cinema that promises to be as memorable as the show itself.
So, let's gear up for this cinematic adventure with Bluey and the Heeler family. Hollywood may not be ready for the whirlwind that is Bluey, but we certainly are.
