Disney revealed the official poster and first trailer for the animated "Bluey" movie at the D23 convention. The popular Australian children's series, created by Joe Brumm, is set to release its first feature film on August 6, 2027. Brumm is writing and directing the movie, with Richard Jeffrey also directing. Amber Naismith is producing, in collaboration with BBC Studios and Walt Disney Studios for global distribution.

The trailer showcases "Bluey" in 3D animation, featuring the titular character and her younger sister Bingo playing with a red balloon. The film will introduce new characters, notably cats joining the neighborhood. "I want it to be an experiential event for the whole family to enjoy together," Brumm stated.

The movie will feature original voice actors Melanie Zanetti and David McCormack. This marks the big-screen debut for the beloved Blue Heeler character and her family, continuing the legacy of the Emmy and BAFTA-winning series. However, the shift to 3D animation has drawn criticism from fans online. Many expressed disappointment, with comments on social media lamenting the change from the show's signature 2D style and comparing the new aesthetic unfavorably to AI-generated visuals.

I want it to be an experiential event for the whole family to enjoy together.
