Bluey has become a real hit for Disney+, regularly ranking as one of the most watched series on the service. The long-form special called ‘Znak’ gathered more than 10 million viewers worldwide, and several new episodes were released after that.

Bluey it also helped boost revenue for BBC Studios, the UK broadcaster’s for-profit arm, fueled by merchandising and licensing.

Created by Brumm in his native Australia, the series has quickly become popular worldwide with children and families alike, captivated by its celebration of imagination and creativity, as well as its strong emotional core.

“Since its debut on Disney Jr. and Disney+, Bluey has become a global phenomenon, uniting families everywhere with its heartfelt stories of play, imagination and connection,” Disney Entertainment co-presidents Dana Walden and Alan Bergman said in a statement. “We are so proud to extend our relationship with BBC Studios to deliver the magic Bluey on the big screen – for real life! – and we are deeply grateful to Joe Brumm for creating a world that continues to inspire and delight families everywhere.”

“I really enjoyed the experience of working with the longer format on ‘The Sign’ in Series 3, so going forward with a feature film feels like a natural extension of that,” added Brumm. “I always thought Bluey it deserves a theatrical film. I want this to be an experience event that the whole family can enjoy together. I’m excited to continue working with Cecilia Persson, Tom Fussell and the team at BBC Studios, and Dan Walden, Alan Bergman and Disney to bring this new Bluey story on the big screen.”
