The announcement came as part of a schedule of premiere dates for every Disney-produced film that’s currently being planned between now and 2027.

Elsewhere, AV News points out series creator Loren Bouchard previously tweeted to tease that long-running mysterious of Bob’s Burgers will be addressed in the movie.

“We’re thrilled to be invited to bring Bob’s Burgers to the big screen,” show creator Loren Bouchard said upon the film’s announcement. “We know the movie has to scratch every itch the fans of the show have ever had, but it also has to work for all the good people who’ve never seen the show.”

Bouchard added: “We also know it has to fill every inch of the screen with the colours and the sounds and the ever so slightly greasy texture of the world of Bob’s – but most of all it has to take our characters on an epic adventure. In other words, it has to be the best movie ever made. But no pressure, right?!”

Back in 2017, Bouchard also spoke to NME about plans to make a movie. “We’ve just started talking about it,” he said at the time.
