The beloved Australian animated series, Bluey, is making the leap to the big screen with a theatrical release slated for 2027, followed by streaming on Disney+. This exciting news comes alongside the availability of two heartwarming holiday-themed episodes on Disney+, perfect for family viewing.
Bluey, a Blue Heeler puppy, navigates life’s adventures with her dad, Bandit, mom, Chilli, and little sister, Bingo. The series, known for its charming characters and heartwarming stories, has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide. Currently, fans can enjoy two holiday specials: “Verandah Santa” from Season 1 and “Christmas Swim” from Season 2.
In “Verandah Santa,” Bluey grapples with the concept of Santa Claus only visiting well-behaved children. After a disagreement with a friend, Bluey worries about missing out on Christmas presents. With the support of her friends, she learns a valuable lesson about kindness and compassion. “Christmas Swim,” on the other hand, portrays the Heelers spending a joyous Christmas Day with their extended family, highlighting the warmth and togetherness of the holiday season.
