Children's TV show Bluey will be turned into a film to be shown in movie theatres around the world.
The Australian-made animated series features a family of dogs including blue heeler puppy Bluey, her sister Bingo and their parents.
The animated feature film will be released in cinemas in 2027, BBC Studios and The Walt Disney Company said overnight.
"I've always thought Bluey deserved a theatrical movie," Bluey creator Joe Brumm said in a statement.
"I want this to be an experiential event for the whole family to enjoy together".
Brumm will write and direct the film, which is a Ludo Studio production in collaboration with BBC Studios, and Disney will release it in cinemas to a global audience.
After its run in movie theatres, it will be streamed on Disney+ and ABC iview and ABC Kids in Australia.
The film will include the voices of Melanie Zanetti and David McCormack as Bluey's mum and dad.
As a children's TV show developed in Queensland and commissioned by the ABC and BBC, Bluey is funded by Australian taxpayers.
The federal and Queensland governments are also supporting the Bluey film via the Producer Offset and Screen Queensland's Post, Digital and Visual Effects Incentive.
Bluey has taken the world by storm, ranking amongst the most streamed programs in the United States.
In April, Australia House in London - home to the Australian High Commission - hosted a celebratory event organised by BBC Studios in which the embassy was adorned with Bluey flags.
