My Thoughts on Bluey

[@Didi-wo7vd]

Fun fact from an Aussie: A lot of the child voice actors (for bluey, bingo and some of their friends) are just children of the production team. They aren't listed in the credits to somewhat protect them and give them privacy since they're so young and becoming known at that age from such a popular show can become harmful. I just thought that was cool.

Also, “The Show” is ROUGH, having gone through infant loss. It’s the smallest thing, sure, but it’s absolutely real. We have a painting of our son we lost, and whenever our toddler sees it, she says “Baby!!” And does her “I love you” sign. We can’t cry every time she does that, of course.

The miscarriage has actually been confirmed! Due to the theory, the writer of a book about miscarriages reached out to the Bluey creator who confirmed the theory. The book is called Hard to Bear.

[@scttydsntknw]

It's probably like every kid's show that they slip in stuff for adults because they know a lot of adults watch with their kids. I would even say they slip stuff in to pique a kid's curiosity so that they will ask their parents about it and will give the parents something to talk with their kids about.

[@pallen2645]

If I recall correctly, the team first pitched the show as an adult-oriented sitcom. More family-friendly than "adult animation" tends toward these days, but decidedly for parents. The show didn't get picked up, and so they retooled it to be more about the kids, but the shows original premise lives on. I'm sorry about your miscarriage. My wife and I had two and nobody prepares you for it.

[@BenChurchill76]

What I like about Bluey is that the parenting is not what some people might consider stereotypical "new-age" parenting, where the kids just do whatever they want with no repercussions. Yes, there is no violence in the house, like corporal punishment, but the girls are still properly parented when they do something wrong. It's kind of amazing to see, actually. That tightrope balance of keeping your kids in line while not resorting to physical punishment, and sorting problems out thoughtfully and respectfully. The couple of times where either parent is about to lose their temper is relatable, but they never, ever cross that boundary, and the overall picture is just such a loving, caring family. What a well done show!

The episode with the French pup really stuck with me. There was a language barrier between the two kids, yet they still played together and had a great time until it was time for them to return home.

[@Coastal603]

As a 19 year old Australian, I’ve been aware of Bluey’s existence since 2019 and I absolutely adore this show and it makes me happy seeing that this show has attracted big KZbinrs and is getting the attention it deserves. It is such a relatable and well written comfort show that attracts not only kids but teens and adults too. Bluey is also a perfect representation of Australia with no stereotypes. It accurately portrays a day in a life of an Australian family living in Brisbane and it’s amazing how many places, shown in Bluey, that exist in real life. Bluey is one of the reasons I’m proud to be an Australian and with the show’s gorgeous visuals, it really shows the beauty of Australia.

I love the fact that this show doesn’t talk down to it’s audience or dumb this down but actually covers important aspects of life and growing up, I also loved how it mixes adult humour into the show especially the adults. This show has beautiful episodes like the moving away episode and the episode after that. It would be cool to see when the Bluey series does end if they do a spin off series where Bluey and Bingo have grown older and how they are dealing with growing up, we got little snippets of them being older throughout the series so it would be cool to see what happens next.

One of the things I love most of all about Bluey is simply that they talk like actual Australians instead of an American sitting in a booth doing an exaggerated accent, or an Australian being encouraged by a director to emphasise stereotypes. It shouldn't be as big of a deal as it is, but when I was growing up I felt so alienised by American/Canadian films and shows, to the point where I started trying to unlearn my accent because I felt so self-conscious about it. I love this show so much its silly.

[@bananabuttersomethin]

I wanna talk about one thing that was censored by Disney in Bluey. The army episode James mentioned is also about the kid with the army dad's friend, Jack. Jack is pretty clearly ADHD: he can't sit still, has trouble following directions and remembering names and numbers. When he goes to Bluey's school and plays army, his friend asks why he moved, asking if there was something wrong with his old school. Jack replies, "No, there's something wrong with ME." Which is a very deep thing that so many kids with ADHD can relate to, feeling like there's something wrong with them because their brains don't work like everyone else's. But in the Disney Plus version, Jack instead says "No, there's something GOING ON with me." Which totally takes all the punch out of the line.
