My initial reaction to this:

"YESSSS!!! 🙌🏾 I wanted to see this happen, I had a strong feeling it would happen, and NOW IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!!! 🤩"

I still feel this way, but with a couple of concerns...

One, it might be stylized 3D CGI instead of being 2D. 😕

The show is animated with vectorized puppets, which means it does fall under the computer-generated category, but the producer for the movie is only being recognized for 3D animated films...

Maybe it's just because of a general lack of 2D films in later years, but...ugh, I would hate to see them switch...the show's animation is already SO good!! It would look EVEN BETTER with a higher budget! I don't want to see them ignore that potential. 😟

Two, Joe Brumm, the creator and main writer on the show...is stepping down to work on the movie. 😐

This feels...WAY to reminiscent of Stephen Hillenburg stepping down after the first SpongeBob movie...😬 And then a shift in quality happened that caused the show to change for the worst...I was afraid of this happening to Bluey when there was a notion of Joe leaving. I was hoping that the show would end with him at the helm rather than keeping it going...😩

He's so connected to the show! The Heelers are pretty much him and his family! It's hard to believe any other writer(s) would do it justice without this special, personal element...

But I guess we'll just have to wait and see...maybe he'll help guide whoever comes into the position to keep the quality up...🙁😔
