Development
On October 4, 2017, 20th Century Fox announced that a film based on the Fox animated series Bob's Burgers was in the works to be released on July 17, 2020.[2] On October 30, 2017, a new 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.[3] On July 18, 2018, Bouchard said that the script was submitted and accepted by the studios. The film will be a musical comedy and would involve Louise and her night light Kuchi Kopi inside her fantasy world as a minor subplot.[4]
Release
The film 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.[5] In announcing revised released dates of various films due to the global health crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic, Disney announced that the film would be delayed until April 9, 2021.[6]
