Will we get to see Bob’s Burgers: The Movie in 2021?
After the dumpster fire that was 2020, we’ve all been looking forward to 2021 and thus far, the year hasn’t been bad. A lot of our favorite shows had to stop production or pause until things were safer. Since then, the TV and movie world has looked different. In particular, Bob’s Burgers: The Movie was pushed back from its original date.
Originally, we were supposed to see Bob’s Burgers: The Movie on July 25th, 2020 but circumstances being what they are, it was pushed back. The cast and crew also assured us that the extra time would be worth it. Since then, the movie was pushed back to April 25th, 2021 which sounded a lot more appealing. For fans of the show, it was a treat to look forward to before the middle of the year.
Things seemed great until Disney announced there were going to be more delays. Included in the list was unfortunately Bob’s Burgers: The Movie. While the movie was set to be released in April, the film has been pulled completely from the schedule. For fans who have been waiting, it’s been disheartening and a little upsetting.
If anything, Disney pulling Bob’s Burgers: The Movie from the schedule brings up a lot of questions. First, is the delay because of the cast or crew not getting things done, or is it part of a larger problem? Second, is the film going to be headed straight to streaming rather than a theatrical release? Ultimately, the biggest question is if we’ll get to see Bob’s Burgers: The Movie in 2021?
Will Bob’s Burgers: The Movie be released in 2021 or be delayed indefinitely?

Answering this question isn’t easy as we’ve already seen how Bob’s Burgers: The Movie has been treated for the last few years. Since it was announced, fans were excited and at every turn, we’ve had to deal with a delay. We’ve gotten multiple seasons of the show since the movie was announced so it’s clear the show’s staff has been working hard. As for the movie, we’ve mostly been left in the dark.
Ultimately, it doesn’t seem like it’s the cast or crew’s fault that Disney is delaying things. Rather, they’re trying their best to get things together and to get the movie made. It’s not an easy process, but Disney seems to keep throwing a wrench in their plans. However, the show’s creator, Loren Bouchard has already fielded concerns from fans about the movie but his tweets don’t seem to give us a concrete answer.
While Bouchard promises an eventual theatrical release, he doesn’t give us a clear date. It’s a little bit frustrating as we’ve already had to wait so long. It’s no doubt frustrating for him as he always has to field these questions and reassure fans it’s coming. It’s not easy for Bouchard or the fans but hopefully, it’ll all be worth it in the end. Considering how little we know about the film, all we really can do is hope.

As frustrated as we are as fans, there are still some silver linings to look forward to. We still have more upcoming seasons of Bob’s Burgers to enjoy. We also have a huge backlog of episodes to watch. There is a comic series, tons of fan art to enjoy, lots of theories to pour over, and tons of stuff to get excited about. While we might not be getting the movie when we were originally promised, we’ll hopefully get it in 2021.
Bob’s Burgers airs Sundays on Fox at 9/8c.
