A first-look trailer for The Bluey Movie has been released, showing the titular character and her sister Bingo running away as a balloon pops.
Trailer released at D23
The trailer was released at Disney's D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. In it, Bluey shouts “good one Bingo” as the balloon is punched into the air, to which Bingo replies “thanks Bluey”. As the balloon falls again, the pair scream as they accidentally push it forwards rather than upwards, and Bluey shouts “don't let it touch the ground”.
The pair race after the balloon, but it hits the grass, and they run away before it pops, revealing the film's title.
Film details and voice cast
The big screen adaptation of the popular Australian animated children's television series about a family of heeler dogs will be released in cinemas on August 6 next year. The movie will be written and directed by Bluey creator Joe Brumm and produced by Ludo Studio, which makes the show, in collaboration with BBC Studios.
The film will feature voice talent from the series, including Melanie Zanetti as Chilli and David McCormack as Bandit. The show follows the imaginative blue heeler, Bluey, and Bingo, along with their mother Chilli and father Bandit.
Release and popularity
At the fan event, there was a surprise game of keepy-uppy with balloons from the trailer for fans, and a poster featuring Bluey and a balloon was also released. The film's producers said it “takes place on an action-packed day when a big surprise changes everything for Bluey and her family”.
While most episodes are about seven minutes long, Brumm experimented with a longer episode to end the third series in 2024. Available in more than 140 countries, Bluey is the number one show for children on CBeebies and Disney+ in the UK. Disney will release the movie in cinemas worldwide, followed by streaming on Disney+.
