A ‘Bob’s Burgers’ Movie Is In The Works For 2020

Mark your calendar: the Bob’s Burgers movie will open on July 17, 2020. The news was revealed over on Deadline, where series creator Loren Bouchard offered a typically amusing and wry statement on the whole thing:
We’re thrilled to be invited to bring Bob’s Burgers to the big screen. 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. We also know it has to fill every inch of the screen with the colors 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?!
But as Bouchard notes in his statement, a movie adaptation will have to be “an epic adventure” and tell a story that demands a much larger canvas. Considering that so many of the shows’ charms come from its low-key comedy and offbeat humanity, I don’t envy anyone involved in making this transition and allowing Bob’s Burgers to feel like Bob’s Burgers on the big screen. They have their work cut out for them. No director or writer has been announced at this time.
Bob’s Burgers season 8 premiered this past Sunday.
