Paramount Pictures has revealed the first image for a Blue's Clues movie which features the three hosts of the series united together. Blue Clues premiered on Nick Jr. on September 8, 1996 and focused on the adventures of a puppy simply named Blue as she and her human owner solve puzzles by clues she has left indicated by her blue paw print. The series was a smash hit when it premiered and has become a pop-culture institution, as the series recently celebrated its 25th anniversary.

 

Over the course of the series, there have been a number of hosts, with Steve (Steve Burns), being the first and most famous one who appeared on the show from 1998 to 2002, where he was then replaced by his brother Joe (Donovan Patton) as the series said Steve went off to college. When the show returned in the form of Blue's Clues & You!, Josh (Josh Dela Cruz), who is Steve and Joe's cousin took over as the host. For people who grew up with the series as part of their childhood, each host is likely to hold a certain level of emotional weight. This is evident as a recent video featuring Steve to celebrate the series' 25th anniversary went viral.

 

It appears the three Blue's Clues hosts will unite to appear in an upcoming Blue's Clues movie coming to Paramount+. The streaming service Paramount+ released an image of Steve, Joe, and Josh with Blue in the city. The movie is officially titled Blue's Big City Adventure and will be released in 2023. It will reportedly feature Blue and Josh heading to New York City, with the help of Steve and Joe, to audition for a big Broadway musical.


This is not the first time the three hosts have appeared together, as both Steve and Joe have appeared on Blue's Clues & You! and all three performed together at the 95th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2021. This also is not the first Blue's Clues movie, as that honor goes to the 2000 direct-to-video movie, Blue's Big Musical Movie. However, this new film appears to be breaking the traditional format of the series, taking Blue into a more realistic world as opposed to the storybook images of the series, implying a much larger scale project. Uniting the three hosts is an attempt to appeal to a generational nostalgia to bring families together and older audience members who remember the series fondly.

 

While Blue's Clues is a major franchise, and with the title Blue's Big City Adventure implying a larger scale than the series, the decision to release the film as a streaming release falls in line with Paramount's plans to prioritize streaming over theatrical films. It also shows the studio prioritizing streaming projects for younger audiences, particularly around Nick Jr. brands, as a spin-off series to the film, Dora and the Lost City of Gold, which itself was based on the hit animated series Dora the Explorer, is also coming to Paramount+. Both Clifford the Big Red Dog and Paw Patrol: The Movie were big hits for Paramount+, so a movie based on Blue's Clues is likely to be another hit for the streamer.
