'Bob's Burgers' serves up a Hollywood dish by announcing a feature-length film

Set your grills to medium-high, Bob's Burgers fans, because the Belcher family's lovable antics are officially coming to the big screen.

Are your palms as slick with sweat as Tina's while gazing longingly at Jimmy Jr.'s butt? Well they should be, because the Fox animated show not only boasts an enviable cast of comedians, but also a heart of gold -- with arteries as clogged as Teddy's, presumably. (But they're clogged with love, so keep shoving those burgers into our hearts!)

On Twitter, creator Loren Bouchard confirmed that the team behind the animated show is developing a feature film set for release in 2020:

Bouchard then immediately got our pulses racing by responding to a fan's request for the film to focus on "Horseplay" (a reference to a character voiced by comedian Ron Funches, from the show's legendary "Equestranauts" episode tackling the brony phenomenon).

"We're still kicking around titles, but 'Horseplay, the Horsening' is definitely in the running," Bouchard tweeted back.

That's a juicy enough title to sink your teeth into. Bob's Burgers is known for its Grade A pun and spoof humor -- though, to be clear, the actual restaurant still only boasts a barely passing grade from health inspector Hugo. But if episode titles like "Eat, Spray, Linda" and "Zero Larp Thirty" are anything to go on, the team will certainly be serving up some choice meats for the film.

Yet, while Bouchard is committed to writing a film for Bob's Burgers regulars, he also sees it as an opportunity for a grand re-re-re opening that brings new customers into the family comedy.

"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?!” Bouchard said in a statement, first reported by Deadline.

It's been a big year for Bob's Burgers. While it may not be the cultural phenomenon that The Simpsons has become, the quirky step-sister of the Fox animated comedy lineup still took home its second Emmy Award for Best Animated Series last month.

We're hoping the film will take Bob's Burgers from being a secret menu item and raise it to entree status in the public's eyes (or, uh, tummies.)
