Like god, having ADHD it's pretty much that for me with my friends.

Bro the moving part when bluey was sad was actually me. I was 10 in california when I met this kid a year later after moving there. He became my best friend. But after less than a month. I had to move. I wasn't as sad as I really could be, I was still prossessing that I had to move. I went to his house to play with him one last time. I took a picture with him and it was framed. I took the picture with me. I sat in my car. look at him. All of the sudden I got sad and then I was told that he was crying. Then my eyes started watering. I couldn't hang on to the fact that I wouldn't see him again, and that this was my last time seeing him. Years later, I still have the picture with me. Getting emotional everytime I see it. I haven't really heard from him in a while, but I hope he's okay.

[@WhimsicalBunn]

As someone who had an abusive set of parents, bluey is cathartic for those of us who didn't have the family dynamic. It makes me warm inside and I cry almost every episode, because it's just so wonderful to see a cartoon giving a generation of children and a family a guide map into how to be kind to one another. I just really feel very specific emotions when I watch this show. A lot of people grow up in healthy or normal homes, and some....just don't know what healthy is. But bluey gives that slice and it's so beautiful. I cry even at the silly non emotional episodes. Because it's living vicariously

[@tsirakura1684]

I feel the same way as someone who grew up with a shit mom. Every time I moved since I was 11 I remember being happy and excited because I would be with new people in a better home. I finally reached a point where I am happy and living in a house where I feel loved and have enough space to live comfortably but in about a year I will need to move for grad school. I’m gonna miss it.

[@alicecardinale1071]

I think I've stopped watching Bluey in the last months exactly because of those strong feelings that come up in me while watching it

[@randommixedletters]

One other thing just from listening to this I noticed, they pointed out how 'pulling out the sign' means it isn't for sale anymore. That wouldn't have been true if they just pulled it out at the beginning of the episode regardless of their child logic, but Bandit pulling it out at the end ended up making it true, and that's kinda beautiful too cause it then instantly translated to both Chilly AND the kids that they where in fact staying, and not leaving. I think that's also really hecken cool.

[@rayothefur]

I had this exact experience with my family in real life it was so satisfying to see that sign out of our front garden

[@captnshrms]

But what about all the kids that DO have to move? 99% of kids are moving once the trucks are packed. This gives them horrible false hope, rather than helping them process a hard move and show how bluey and bingo can make new friends.

[@genericname8727]

​@@captnshrms parents can talk with their kids about the episodes and make it clear if their situation is different to what happens on a tv show. The advice given when they still thought they were moving can still apply, I’m sure, too. It’s unfortunately going to hurt children when they have to move away from friends and family regardless, but they’ll adapt if given support and kids typically make new friends fairly easily. Bluey has had episodes where Bluey and Bingo have to make new friends in a new environment, but making new friends after moving is tackled in a lot of kids shows if you feel it important they see that experience represented. The children’s movie “Inside Out” is about a child struggling after moving to a new place, and how sadness is a normal and healthy emotion to feel in such circumstances.

[@Xantexhunter]

just FYI for anyone wondering about Bandit's/Chili's jobs at 4:55. Bandit is the Director of Archaeological Studies at the local University. (The university was never named, but we're assuming its the University of Queensland, since the Heeler's live in Brisbane, Australia) And Chili is the Chief of Security at the local airport (Again, airport is never named but we're assuming its Brisbane Int'l) According to google, the Average salary of a Education Director in Austrailia can range between 78k - 180k/yr, and the average salary of a Security Chief/Supervisor can range between 63k - 270k/yr. So on the low end, the heeler's household income is anywhere around 141k/yr. The median household income for a family of 4 in Brisbane is 1791/wk, or 87k~/yr So the heeler's are pretty well off, and they might be even more so if they are closer to the high end of the salary range in their respective fields.

[@aussiejed1]

Speculation among fans is that the house is actually Bandit's parent's house. His parents now live in an apartment on the Gold Coast and possibly sold the house to Bandit and Chilli at a reduced price, given its excellent location and condition. Rad doesn't need the house (he lived in WA and is/was an oil rig worker) and Stripe already had his expensive house and is well off (he's a FIFO worker in the mines).

[@skele1]

14:46 Not to mention that Winston’s dad’s house was established to have a pool back in the episode “Helicopter” because it was literally the only feature the Winston could recall about his Dad’s house.

[@alixshooketh]

The coin. Bluey's lucky coin in the wrong place which helped the couple planning on purchasing the Heeler household see another house that they would end up buying instead. + Without Bingo making Bandit late in that one episode she wouldn't be friends with Lila, and they wouldn't have helped the butterfly which led them to Frisky, therefore Bingo saved their home.

[@sufferdude0537]

But wasn't the reason they were gonna move in the first place because of Bandit's new job? The people buying the house suddenly not wanting it any shouldn't make a difference.

The best part is, like in a lot of modern animation, there is an overarching story in Bluey, but in Bluey its subtle and used more as a setpiece then a compelling narrative, which I haven't seen before, at least not done nearly this well. Remember when we had a whole episode about Bandit and his friends removing a stump, and Chili says "I want to put in a duck pond", and then half a dozen episodes later we have a whole episode about the duck pond being put in, Such a throw away line, that they could have never followed through with and nobody would have noticed. Bluey does this all over the place, it truely is a masterfully written animated series, one of the best in it's genre.

So we might not be getting a season 4 for a long time. We will be getting mini 3.5 minute episodes and a possible movie. But the creator voiced his concerns with the child actors growing up and not wanting to leave them behind if the show moves forward, so if we do get a season 4 it might feature aged up version of the characters.

The dread, the anxiety, the unknowing-ness is all exactly what everyone in my family felt when we had to move. I’m so glad that unlike us, they actually stayed where they were!

I'm 24 and i've been living in the same house since childhood. But my grandpa is going to have to sell the house and my mom and I are going to have to move. No matter your age the idea of moving is terrifying once you really think about it. So many memories gathered in one place and eventually it'll all be gone (our house is on a flood zone so the state is gonna tear it down once the sale goes through). The thought that every single moment in that house is gonna be lost hurts and I hate when people say "oh you're an adult you'll be fine" or "stop acting like a child". That's the point! No matter what age you are it doesn't stop it from hurting. All your toys, furniture, even plates, being moved to a new home. One where you don't know each and every sqeaky floorboard to avoid so you can sneak around late at night, one where the kitchen feels smaller than you expect, one where the basement and the attic don't exist, no matter what it is, part of you is going to remember that house, YOUR house. The one where you knew every hiding spot, the one where you had the garden in the backyard, the one where you spent every christmas and halloween up until now. I know it'll eventually be okay but the thought of so many years of my life, so many memories, the place they were created not existing anymore hurts. And it'll always hurt.

another big important callback to Stickbird most people miss while watching the episode is the way Bandit rips the sign from the ground and throws it away in the same way Bluey taught him and Bingo to throw away what upsets them, it's even the same camera angle. also another thing that separates Bluey from most family shows is how it allows the adults to actually express real emotions. through the entire episode we can notice both Bandit and Chili trying to keep themselves together and not let their true feelings about moving out leak so the girls wouldn't get concerned, yet from time to time we could see their doubts and genuine sadness about it. it is until the very end when both finally break, Bandit feeling anger towards the sign as we can tell by his body language and expression, and Chili crying her eyes out in happiness. there's something really special about the facts it's _them_ the ones having the strongest emotional reactions at the end instead of Bluey and Bingo. (also something funny but even the fact Winton's dad had a pool was foreshadowed back in the episode _Helicopter_ in season 2 as he mentions it while playing with Bluey. it didn't play any relevant role in the episode back then, but it sure did a HUGE comeback in The Sign)

Seriously, Caillou is a little SHIT of a kid. Absolute brat and pretty much everyone I've ever known who saw the show hated him and hated if their kids tried to act like him.

I can tell that's what the Bluey team was going for here and I really hope they succeed, I'd love to see a new generation of kids grow up with that memory

Another thing I noticed: the house that Winton’s dad and the terriers mom sell is Wintons house. We know this because of the episode “Helicopter” where when he’s about to fall out the helicopter he tell Bluey to drop him in his dads pool. Helicopter is another episode about accepting change and understanding when things don’t go your way.

Moving away from friends doesn't really have the same impact it did before now that you can video chat and play online together instead of just having to rely on letters/calls and physical visits

[@cutepuddleslime8201]

​​@@Pokemaster-wg9gx I'm sure you weren't saying it the way you come off. But keep in mind Bingo is a child who doesn't have access to this type of technology since she is restricted to just the weekends to play on the tablet. So unfortunately she wouldn't be able to physically see Lila to play with her since it would likely be a lot of travelling distance from their city to the new city. Technology communications probably wouldn't work as well as physically being present to the friend for a child. Technology friendships work better for teens and adults, not so much for kids since they have to learn proper socialization in the real world instead of just the computer. As we know Bluey is not moving but you get the point.

The thing that got me with bluey is how it's a kids show based in the real world. The world itself isn't tailored to kids. It's a real world that has kids in it and through the eyes of a kid. It makes everything feel real and genuine

[@madge140]

Bluey is actually set in Brisbane! Bluey is already a fantastic show with so many layers that I love to pick apart, but also being from Brisbane myself makes the show way more special. Sometimes they'll visit places which I've been to heaps of times, like the boardwalk near Brisbane River, but then there are little things like specific flowers they have growing in their garden that I have in my garden too, or just quintessential Brissy experiences, like the waterslide episode. Point is, I really wish I had Bluey growing up, would've loved to see and catch all the references.

[@Yes_im.a-lordpeacock]

One of the reasons why bluey is 10x better than peppa pig, is because they know that old episodes exist and use them to add emotion, while peppa pig doesnt care and makes an episode not even talking about the past, acting like it never happened

[@VaryaEQ]

Pepper Pig (and most kids shows) are written and animated and whatever else as if kids are stupid. Any kids story that stands the test of time is something that everyone can enjoy, kids and adults alike. I'm sure we can all think of those things we watched as kids, but as adults, we can't recall anything about them, and watching them back now is incredibly irritating (for me, it's Angela Anaconda). But then there's the "classics", like Winnie the Pooh and Alice in Wonderland, the things written with passion and respect for the intelligence of kids. Bluey does that. It recognises that kids are smarter than adults usually realise, that they pick up on things (like parents fighting).

Bro the amount of build up and perfect events that happened thought the entire show so far is insane. To think they referenced this episode as early as S2 E45, when Winton dropped the detail that his dad had a pool!

This episode hit so hard to me mainly because growing up i was a military brat and if you dont know what that is i was the son of someone who was in the military so moving was common every vew years. My first time moving was when I was 7 as well, and i can wholeheartedly say these were the exact emotions i felt. The fact that i can relate to this so much made this special hit just too much harder and made me genuinely so happy when they didnt move.

[@captnshrms]

I feel like they entirely missed the point by not moving. As a child, an episode where they move and make new friends would be way more helpful to you than an episode where at the last minute no one moves and everything stays the same. What could have been a helpful episode for kids like you, just turned into a weird thing that never happens in real life (the parents decide they aren't moving after the trucks are already loaded) another annoying point for kids worried about moving, they are going to think it won't happen at the last minute.

[@blueboots4272]

@captnshrms that is true. But I think the point of the episode or the message per se is that no matter what happens, things will happen. Whether they are good or bad, it will still be an adventure. ThT is how I coped with these emotions at the time. I mean, if it wasn't for my move, I would have never lived in Alaska, which is by far my favorite place I have ever lived.

It was fun to watch for kids cus of the colours and shaps and stuff but man, it was extemely philosophical for adults. Nearly every episode had some complex themes and deeper meaning about life, dealing with depression, differences in relationships, growing old. A lot of sad themes now that i think about it... Fun for kids, philosophical for adults and scaring for teens. Loved it. I'd recommend looking into it and watching some popular clips. Hell, this had made me want to rewatch the entire thing.

IIRC Bandit in Stickbird was said to be thinking of anything that troubles adults in life. The creator said it could be finances, workplace issues, or any other big issues. Joe even added a line about how putting something out in the world means its not necessarily yours anymore (which I think was a result of censorship or being told to change a scene or episode from how he was originally going to say it.) So my interpretation was that Bandit put something into the world, like a workplace discovery or paper, and someone else got the credit or the thing was ripped to shreds in talks. Though now it can be seen as him thinking about the job offer, before it most definitely felt like something else.

To tack onto your point on Character Growth, I think another great example during 'The Sign' of this is 'Socks'. Here we start to see her actual character and personality and hear her talk more. Like I think Socks in The Sign has more dialogue for her than the entire series. P.S. Anyone else think Socks was a boy until they referred to her as a girl?

[@gjshomeofsilliness9391]

Between Steven Universe, Bluey, Adventure Time, Owl House, and other great shows, I've come to realize something: MLP Generation 4 trotted so that all of these shows and many more could GALLOP! Bluey was a big surprise for me, given its preschool cartoon status, and not just because it does not frustrate a grownup's mind. It doesn't treat the audience like idiots, which is a huge change of pace from how the typical preschool show is written. None of the shows I've name-dropped treat their audiences like idiots, but Bluey does an especially good job of it while also never forgetting who it is telling its stories to: kids and adults. I've only seen a few episodes while sitting in a dentist's office, to be clear. But, this video helped me to better understand the show.
