Disney’s Walden Says She Would Be Interested in Buying ‘Bluey’ | Company Business News
Disney's creative chief Dana Walden said she would offer a lot of money to Joe Brumm, creator of the hit children's show Bluey, if the chance to buy the show's rights ever came up. Disney does not own Bluey; the BBC and ABC produce it, though its characters appear at Disney parks. A Bluey film comes next year, so watch how this brand tie-up develops.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Dana Walden, Walt Disney's president and chief creative officer, said she would offer a lot of money to buy the Bluey intellectual property if the opportunity arose.
- Disney does not own Bluey, because the show is produced by the BBC and the Australian Broadcasting Corp, even though Bluey characters and merchandise appear at Disney theme parks.
- A Bluey movie is coming out next year, and creator Joe Brumm took a break from making new shows to work on that film.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If your business licenses or sells merchandise built around popular children's brands, confirm in writing who actually owns those rights before you sign anything. A reported interest in buying a show is not a completed deal, so take professional advice before acting on it.
