Disney showed the first Bluey movie trailer at D23 in Anaheim on Friday, giving the franchise its first public big-screen look. The film is set for theaters on August 6, 2027, even though that date had already been on the books for nearly a year.
Joe Brumm at D23
Joe Brumm and Richard Jeffery helm The Bluey Movie, with Brumm writing the script. That puts the trailer in the hands of the same creative setup that built the series, while the movie’s theatrical rollout now has a first look to support it.
The Bluey series follows Bluey, Chilli, Bandit, and Bingo, and the film keeps that family core intact. Melanie Zanetti returns as Chilli, and David McCormack returns as Bandit, so the movie is not using the trailer to reset the cast before the release window opens.
Bluey and the surprise
The trailer also sets up the film’s central engine: an action-packed day when a big surprise changes everything for Bluey and her family. That is the first public indication of how the movie will separate itself from the series format without abandoning the characters that made the property work.
The wider business case is already in place. The series airs on Disney Junior and Disney Channel and streams on Disney+, and Deadline says it ranked No. 2 among all streaming titles for the first half of 2026. With the first trailer now out, Disney has turned a long-announced release date into something concrete that audiences can finally react to.
August 6, 2027
For viewers, the practical takeaway is simple: the first look has arrived, the cast is back, and the wait runs to August 6, 2027. The trailer does not answer the film’s big surprise yet, but it does make clear that The Bluey Movie is aiming to extend the series’ family dynamic onto the big screen rather than reinvent it.
