Bob's Burgers: The Movie (2022)
http://deadline.com/2017/10/bobs-bur...ox-1202181837/
20th Century Fox said today that it is making a feature film based on the Fox animated series Bob’s Burgers and has set a July 17, 2020 release date. The series is coming off an Emmy win this year for Outstanding Animated Series and took the same honor in 2014.
The series first appeared on Fox in midseason 2011. Fox Animation will produce the film.
“We’re thrilled to be invited to bring Bob’s Burgers to the big screen,” show creator Loren Bouchard said. “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?!”
The series follows the lives, loves and misadventures of the Belcher family and their friends and rivals. Bob Belcher (voice of H. Jon Benjamin) runs a hamburger restaurant in a seaside town, with his ever-optimistic wife Linda (John Roberts) and their three children: self-conscious Tina (Dan Mintz), goofball Gene (Eugene Mirman) and precocious Louise (Kristen Schaal).
“A Bob’s Burgers film fits perfectly with our initiative to redouble our family and animation efforts,” said Twentieth Century Fox Film chairman and CEO Stacey Snider. “We’re grateful to [Fox Television Group chairmen Gary Newman and Dana Walden] for trusting us with this beloved property and we’re so excited to be working with Loren and his team.”
Said Newman and Walden: “What a year for Bob’s Burgers! First, the Emmy Award for Best Animated Series and now, an amazing opportunity for the gifted Loren Bouchard to take the Belcher family to movies. Loren, Jim and their talented team continue to knock it out of the park week after week, and seven years in, the show is still growing. Working with Stacey and everyone at the feature studio, we know this important property is in the best possible hands.”

The show has a rabid fanbase but not a huge one, so I'm not sure just how well it'd do, but I'm down for it -- still my favorite sitcom on TV.

A movie? I can't even get through an episode on TV.

Surprised that this is coming out before a Family Guy movie or a second film from The Simpsons. I've tried watching Bob's Burgers before and I don't really understand the appeal but I know it's got a pretty big fanbase.

Okay, I think an Archer movie would be better.

Archer movie would be a nice capper to the series. Do it as a straight spy story though, instead of however the whole mess ends up.
I'm sure the biggest complaint online will be this is being made before a Rick and Morty movie.

The show is kind of an oddity for me. I somewhat enjoy it but with the exception of Bob (and maybe Louise) I can’t stand any of the characters. They are all so annoying.
I’m not sure about a movie. 30 minutes episodes are just about right. I think anything after that would start to wear thin.

Only in theaters May 27.
“The Bob’s Burgers Movie” is an animated, big-screen, musical comedy-mystery-adventure based on the long-running Emmy®-winning series. The story begins when a ruptured water main creates an enormous sinkhole right in front of Bob's Burgers, blocking the entrance indefinitely and ruining the Belchers’ plans for a successful summer. While Bob and Linda struggle to keep the business afloat, the kids try to solve a mystery that could save their family's restaurant. As the dangers mount, these underdogs help each other find hope and fight to get back behind the counter, where they belong.

Looking forward to it, looks like they spent a lot of money on shading. And good to see squished Kuchi Kopi is still around.

I'm surprised this show doesn't have a bigger following on here, my wife and I discovered it last year and tore through all the seasons on Hulu. It's got great characters and the "silly sitcom" plots often still have enough reality to them that you can feel a connection to what's happening.

Yeah, I've been a fan for a year or two and finally binged most of the series while staying at my parents' (they have Hulu and I don't)

It is funny how much they have folks like H Jon Benjamin and Kevin Klein singing, intentionally somewhat off key, throughout the series. It isn't everybody's cup o tea.
