The story of this feature film based on the long-running children’s series will see Bob travelling to Puerto Rico, where he will take on “issues affecting the island and digs deeper into what it means to build.” The official logline for the project continues with, “Bob’s journey will celebrate the vibrant and colorful textures of the Caribbean Latin nations and their people.”

Bob the Builder is just one of the many films of Mattel currently in production, with a live-action Barney also adapting a children’s series to film. Other projects base themselves on toylines such as American Girl and Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots. The first of Mattel’s films was Barbie, the Greta Gerwig-directed project that became one of 2023’s most successful films.
Robbie Brenner, president of Mattel Films, said of the announcement of Bob the Builder, “Pairing Anthony and Felipe’s genius vision for the story will capture this beloved character in a manner that audiences who grew up with Bob will recognise, and all-new audiences will enjoy.”
Ramos will also be one of the producers for Bob the Builder, who wants to bring the message of the series to the big screen while incorporating elements inspired by his own life. “For years, Bob the Builder’s characters have inspired young people around the world. A movie about friends working together, a celebration of a beautiful home they share, and how love can help to conquer any obstacle in your way. Can we fix it? Yes, we can!”
