'Bob's Burgers' Headed to the Big Screen in Animated Feature Film

“Bob’s Burgers,” Fox’s long running Emmy award-winning animated comedy, is headed to the big screen for the first time, Twentieth Century Fox announced Wednesday.

The studio announced that the popular Fox show will be getting its own animated feature film, which is set to be released on July 17, 2020.

“We’re thrilled to be invited to bring ‘Bob’s Burgers’ to the big screen,” show creator Loren Bouchard said in a statement.

Bouchard also noted all the things that the movie has to do in order to live up to fans’ expectations of the show, which airs Sundays. “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,” he added. “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?!”

“Bob’s Burgers” just debuted its eighth season last Sunday. The show, about the misadventures of the Belcher family — Bob, Linda, Tina, Gene and Louise — as they try to run the family hamburger restaurant.

H. Jon Benjamin, Dan Mintz, Eugene Mirman, John Roberts and Kristen Schaal lead the show’s voice cast. The show has featured guest appearances from Jenny Slate, Sarah Silverman, Aziz Ansari, Kevin Kline, Billy Eichner, Steve Buscemi, Sarah Silverman and more.

The show has won best animated series at the Emmys twice — in 2014 and 2017 — and has been nominated every year since 2012. The show has also spawned a best-selling cookbook, a soundtrack album featuring 107 songs and a live tour.

It also had its most watched season yet, averaging 7.7 million viewers per episode in total multi-platform audience, which is up 13 percent from last year’s average.

“What a year for ‘Bob’s Burgers!'” Fox Television Group chairmen Gary Newman and Dana Walden added. “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.”

'Bob's Burgers' Main Characters Ranked From Best to Worst (Photos)

Fox's animated series "Bob's Burgers" is home to mountain of quirky characters. Some of whom we love more than others. Click through to see our ranking:
Fox
1. Louise Belcher

Louise is probably the feistiest nine-year-old you'll ever meet. She's fearless, rebellious and walks in her own lane -- plus she's got a hint of crazy if you ever mess with her bunny ears.

Even though she's sometimes selfish, she always ends up doing the right thing in the end.
Fox
2. Linda Belcher

Coolest. Mom. Ever.

She's always singing and is fun and outgoing all of the time. Even though she has a wide array of interests, she still supports her husband Bob's burger shop and loves him like no other.

She's kind of a push over when it comes to her kids as they can pretty much make her do whatever they want, but they usually (rarely) feel bad about it afterwards so it's not that bad.
Fox
3. Tina Belcher

Tina is her own person. She loves zombies and rainbows (those two definitely go together), horses, butts and 13-year-old boys.

Although most of the time, she's trying to fit in with the cool kids and trying to get Jimmy Junior to notice her, she's not afraid to embrace her quirky self.
Fox
4. Teddy

Teddy is a loyal ride-or-die friend and Bob simply doesn't appreciate him.

He's always a patron at Bob's Burgers and is constantly there to lend a helping hand whenever and wherever.
Fox
5. Gene Belcher

The middle child is often the most forgotten one, but not Gene.

He's an aspiring musician and farts a lot, what's not to love?
Fox
6. Bob Belcher

I mean you have to be cool to be a part of the Belcher family, right?

Bob is probably the least "weirdest" Belcher but that doesn't mean he doesn't have his quirks.

He usually tries to be the voice of reason, but also ends up in strange situations at times.

Fox
7. Calvin Fischoeder

Mr. Fischoeder owns practically the entire town, but he doesn't really act like it.

He's truly eccentric, but it seems like he's just living his life so can we really hate him for that?
Fox
8. Mort

Like Teddy, Mort is a loyal customer at Bob's Burgers but he's just a little bit strange.

He runs a mortuary and usually keeps to himself. Plus he has an interesting sense of humor.
Fox
9. Jocelyn

She's kind of just there and follows Tammy around most of the time.

But we don't really hate her per se.
Fox
10. Jimmy Junior

Ugh, he's so full of himself and he isn't even all that.

Jimmy is Tina's biggest crush and he just keeps sending mixed signals. Sometimes he likes her, sometimes he's annoyed by her. We can't keep up with this emotionally dramatic guy.
Fox
11. Mr. Frond

Mr. Frond seems like he's lost in the sauce.

He clearly has good intentions in trying to help out the kids and have them talk out their feelings, but he's also just too much at times.
Fox
12. Hugo Habercore

Hugo is a health inspector with a vengeance, although probably for good reason.

He's always harassing Bob and his restaurant and giving them a hard time, but it also could be because Hugo used to be engaged to Linda before she left him for Bob.

Poor guy.
Fox
13. Tammy Larsen

Boooo Tammy.

We don't remember if she has any good qualities. She's basically the popular girl from high school who makes everyone's lives miserable.

Sorry, girl: You gotta go.
Fox

Spoiler: Louise is the best, hands down
