Production[]

On October 4, 2017, 20th Century Fox announced that a film based on the Fox animated series Bob's Burgers was in the works: it was set to be released on July 17, 2020.[3] On October 30, 2017, a newly created 20th Century Fox division, Fox Family, was created to oversee feature film adaptation of its TV shows. This included taking Bob's Burgers over from 20th Century Fox Animation.[1]

Series creator Loren Bouchard had said the film will "scratch every itch the fans of the show have ever had", while also appealing to new audiences.[4] On July 18, 2018, Bouchard said that the script was submitted and accepted by the studios. The film will be a musical comedy.[5] On September 24, 2020, star H. Jon Benjamin confirmed that work on the film was being done remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, while also revealing that recording for the film has already begun,[6] with the cast reprising their roles from the television series.

This film will be the final animation work for both Tuck Tucker and Dale Baer before their deaths on December 22, 2020 and January 15, 2021 respectively; Tucker served as a storyboard revisionist, while Baer provided animation for the film.[7][8][9][10] The film will be dedicated to both.

Release[]

The Bob's Burgers Movie will be theatrically released in the United States on May 27, 2022. It was initially scheduled to be released in theaters on July 17, 2020. The film was then briefly pulled from the schedule due to an error in listings.[11] In announcing revised released dates of various films due to the global health crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic, Disney announced that the film's release had been pushed back to April 9, 2021.[12] On January 22, 2021, the film was completely removed from the release schedule.[13] Bouchard explained that despite the film still being in production, a new release date announcement was not imminent and would not come until audiences felt completely safe coming back to theaters.[14] On September 10, 2021, it was officially set for a Memorial Day weekend release date of May 27, 2022.[15]

The film will mark the first hand-drawn animated film to be theatrically released by Disney since Walt Disney Animation Studios' Winnie the Pooh (2011),[16] as well as being the second theatrical feature film based on a Fox animated series following The Simpsons Movie (2007).
