Bluey creator Joe Brumm expressed his excitement for the upcoming film. He shared: “I really enjoyed the experience of working with a longer format on ‘The Sign’ in Series 3, so going even further with a feature film seems a natural extension of that.
‘I’ve always thought Bluey deserved a theatrical film. I want this to be an experiential event for the entire family to enjoy together. “I’m excited to continue partnering with Cecilia Persson, Tom Fussell and the team at BBC Studios, and Dana Walden, Alan Bergman and Disney to bring this new Bluey story to the big screen.”
The film will feature the voices of Melanie Zanetti and David McCormack as Bluey’s parents, Chilli and Bandit Heeler, plus music created by composer Joff Bush.

“I looked at the mother as she was examining winter clothing for my own son and told her that our family also enjoys Bluey, emphasizing that Bluey is inclusive of all ages!” she said.
“I firmly believe that Bluey is a fantastic program for everyone, and parents should allow their children to determine when they have moved beyond a show or any other interest,” he added.
