Bluey movie slate.

"I really enjoyed the experience of working with a longer format...in Series 3, so going even further with a feature film feels like a natural extension of that," Bluey creator Joe Brumm said.

"I've always thought 'Bluey' deserved a theatrical movie. I want this to be an experiential event for the whole family to enjoy together."

Melanie Zanetti and David McCormack will return as the voices of Bluey's mum Mum, Chilli and Dad, Bandit.

It'll also have music created by Bluey composer Joff Bush.
