Bob’s Burgers, now in its 12th season, is coming to the big screen for The Bob’s Burgers Movie after almost two years of delays. The show follows the Belcher family, their family burger restaurant, and their adventures.
Bob, the father of the family, is pessimistic but is characterized by a big love of his family. Linda, the mother of the family, is supportive, enthusiastic, and fun-loving. Tina, the eldest, is socially awkward and obsessed with boys. Gene, the carefree middle child, writes silly songs just about anything. Louise, the youngest at 9, is mischievous, devious, and cynical. Together, the family has an interesting and hilarious dynamic that has amassed a large fanbase. Here is everything we know about the show’s upcoming film.

Where to watch Bob’s Burgers TV show and movie
The television show Bob’s Burgers can be watched on Fox and Hulu. The movie can be seen on the big screen on May 27th. There are currently no plans for the movie to be on a streaming platform, so seeing it in theaters is essential. If it does make it to streaming, it’ll likely be put on Hulu.
If you want a good light-hearted movie, look no further than The Bob’s Burgers Movie. The Belcher family’s dysfunction manages to be charming, heart-warming, and relatable. I’ll definitely be seeing it, hopefully on the 27th, and I can’t wait to see opinions about it across social media.
