This, THIS show, is exactly how a kids' show should be made. It treats kids as smart, capable-of-understanding people, and it has jokes witty enough to be funny for both parents and children, prefect for watching in family. Peppa Pig should take notes
I had to jump in and make this video, in which I tell about the wonderful ways Bluey has impacted me and my family. ruclips.net/video/u1cKLH4r_RE/видео.html
I'm a 44 year old father of two little girls, and this "kids" show hits me harder emotionally than any other show I watch. Not just any other kids show, any other show, period. Sleepy Time made me openly cry as it is the most beautiful metaphor for kids' gradual movement towards independence and parents' unconditional ever-present love I have ever seen animated. How they do this in these little 8 minute segments is nothing short of absolute genius. This is the best "kids" show to hit TV in decades.
I recently taught a pre-primary class, and we often would watch some TV after lunch to chill out. They would request Peppa Pig, and that show was so tedious to get through. Then they requested Bluey, and I was prepared for the same thing - but, wow, I was genuinely shocked at how good the show is. Got a bit tear eyed more than once haha
legit I started working at a primary school before covid hit and all the little ones were watching bluey every recess and lunch before they go outside to play and I just initially thought "ugh here we go another peppa pig". then when lockdown happened I kept seeing bluey everywhere and I went "FINE I'll see what the fuss is about!" I'd never been so impressed by a cartoon in my life and it is now my favourite show ever.
I’m so proud as an Aussie that a show like Bluey has resonated with this international audience. I view it as having this very relaxed, gentle, and true-to-life aussie sensibility, and that’s not the most common to find in modern kid’s tv. I hope it does impact how other shows are made.
Stay strong but don’t be afraid to go after the things you like or watch what you wanna watch no one dictates your decisions for you. Focus on the good parts of life the bad parts serve to bring your downfall if you look at it in certain ways
what i love is chilli's inflection when she says "that was a long time ago" her voice cracks as she finishes her sentence, and it just hits a perfect note of longing
This show has a soft place in my heart. The episode Army broke me to tears because I was a child who had adhd, but didn’t know. For the longest time I truly believed something was wrong with me.. but I learned it wasn’t my fault. Nothing was wrong. And this show validated how I felt, and also reminded me that even back then I was capable to doing things regardless of my set backs. I just had always focused on the negatives for so long.
I can not even begin to describe how much this show has helped me understand my childhood trauma and how to handle situations with others when I feel the need to have a trauma response. It’s so incredibly deep and impactful to have a show like Bluey make the show for someone like me.
I have a little brother, and he's been really into Bluey for the past month, and I have to say, this show is probably the best family show out right now. It's profound yet pedestrian and shows the joys of day-to-day domestic life. As a young adult it has helped me re-learn how to have a closer relationship with my sibling, and I appreciate that so so much.
I can't even hear anyone talk about the bird episode without crying. Childhood grief is such a delicate topic and they handle it with such grace and love.
Love watching this show with my 5 year old. My one gripe (but not really)- Bandit sets some really high standards for fatherhood, he always gives me ideas for being a better dad.
@@EntertainTheElk Fun fact: a local newspaper here in Brisbane (where Bluey is both set, and made) worked out roughly what suburb they live in. From that they then extrapolated the value of their house. The house, which is in the style of a "Queenslander" - a very popular classic home style - combined with location which is in one of the more popular suburbs not quite in the inner city but still very close, with excellent views of both the CBD (downtown) and the river, was estimated to have a market value of around **5 million dollars.**
Thing that’s worth mentioning is that you only really see Bandit Or Chilli being these amazing parents and Bluey and Bingo being receptive for 7 minutes at most, we have to assume that it isn’t always like that, and I feel like Brumm and co might touch on that at some point. So I f you, as a father yourself, can be as ‘good’ as Bandit for 7 minutes, you’re doing as well as him.
@@CJTheReal god I always see that and yeah, fancy reno’ed queenslander in Paddington WOULD be that much, but I think it can be extrapolated out that it was Bandit’s parents’ house (his childhood home) and if that is true it’s much more reasonable for them to have inherited it, or at most have purchased it when Inner city Brisbane real estate wasn’t astronomically overvalued.
Sleepy time made me cry too! I'm not a parent, but as someone who's worked with kids from 3 mo - 12 years old, I really love how this show is accessible to all ages.
“A Show made by parents, for parents, that kids can watch as well” THAT is honestly… The best description I’ve heard of for this show. An like….. I don’t even have kids, but I understand a lot of stuff the adults in the show talk about
In Australia Bluey has just sorta been accepted as the best kids show of the last decade, I'm 21 and I watched some with my best mate recently and we both cried at the end of every episode

i resisted Bluey for a long time and finally gave in one day. now I've got my boyfriend and friends all in our mid 20's- early 30's with no kids watching a show for preschoolers together and shedding a tear
@@theshockinglyeloquentdog9945 Where did you watch this? I want to but I'm hesitant on Disney+'s censorship making the show feel less than it should be.
Although I’m not a parent, I’m practically raising my siblings, so I really resonate with the parents in Bluey. I’m embarrassed because so many episodes of Bluey genuinely mad me cry. I used to be one of those people who were like, “I never cry to movies”. Bluey forever has a place in my heart 🥲
It also speaks to teenagers. I'm 15, and I love this show. Also, yes, Sleepytime is my favorite episode. It just makes me want to cry every time I see it (I don't cry, so that's why I want to cry).
What about it is that other shows transport you into an imagination world. In Bluey it only opens the door for you and you have to actively walk in to be immersed. It actively welcomes you to reuse the child like purity of imagination at it's core.
As an Aussie this show captures Australian life and childhood so well. I’m so glad that some Aussie television is getting national recognition and it deserves it!!
I’m a TA and we put this show on for the kids and the consistent high quality and humour has me subscribed to their RUclips channel. It’s genuinely wonderful to watch
im a 13 year old girl and i still love watching bluey when i hang out with my friends, or even by myself! i love it and its become my comfort show to escape life sometimes
It’s amazing that Bluey is able to entertain both adults and kids alike. No other shows are really able to encapsulate that. Kids will like it for the cute dogs and vibrant colours, and adults will resonate with the stories and messages.
Bluey isn't just a kids show...it's the only media I've seen where being a family with kids isn't a joke or a challenge that is to be surmounted. It's a joy in the little things. It might be an overshare, but...I never wanted to be a Dad until I watched Bluey. I love my parents and they loved me and raised me well, but I never saw my dad as a dad. He's my friend and it feels like he always has been. Watching Bandit, that just made me want to be a father.
A lot of childrens' entertainment relies so heavily on enforcing lessons through negative examples. "Don't be this guy" or "avoid this behavior" kinds of things. But Bluey is a show that emphasizes what we COULD be as role models to children. When everyone else is writing stories about bad guys becoming good, Bluey is stories about good people becoming better.
Bluey is the show that has made me happy and sad cry the most. I started watching it with my niece and have watched all 3 seasons multiple times on my own. 10/10
I found Bluey a couple of months ago through RUclips, and I've been obsessed ever since. I'm not a parent yet, but I'd like to be one day. And this show is like the best parenting handbook I've ever seen. All the storylines are so relatable and entertaining to watch as a 24 year old guy.
I had heard of Bluey before but I stumbled into my cousins watching Sleepytime and was enraptured. I already loved Holst's Jupiter but I couldn't look away from the screen and it made me cry. All of my younger cousins asked why I was so enamoured and I didn't have the words to express it at the time so I just said I loved the song. But it was much more than that.
I've explained Flatpack similarly to people who've not seen Bluey before, and I get a lot of doubt in return. One of the best pieces of TV, not just children's TV, ever made.
Ive been watching the show since 2020, and recently I have told my friends about my interest within this show. Never again will I share my feelings about anything that can be judged.
Love this show for this reason specifically. It has a sense of realism (as much realism as you can get from talking dogs) and it teaches kids that you can be creative with the things you have around you, including your parents into your games, the fact that some episodes, the parents do not want to play the game, being annoyed by certain games, there is so much to this show. Thanks for this video.
I dont think a kids show has ever brought me to tears before. Closest thing was the Steve returning in the modern Blues Clues trailer, and talking to us milennials for a moment. Bluey had me legit tearing up, in its own right, several times.
holy crap yes! i love how this video covers what bluey as a show has to offer. like how it isn't a show only enjoyed by children, but by all! bluey is amazing, for real life.
Nothing has made me cry and feel like Bluey has. I don't have kids, but I still relate to this show so much. I was a lot like Bluey as a kid, I'm a lot like Bandit now. I miss seeing so much wonder in the little things like the girls do. This show has really made me make a giant step in therapy lol it was a turning point in my life and it's a little ridiculous and silly but I wouldn't have it any other way.
I’m so glad my niece has been watching Bluey for over a year/two years so that I knew about it! It reminds me a lot of the great kids’ shows I grew up with (like Arthur, Dragon Tales, a myriad of other PBS shows, and more I just can’t think of atm). I also like the exposure to different accents/vocabulary for kids; it’s a great learning experience for them! Edit: I do have to admit I 100% thought Bluey was a boy at first when I saw a few episodes here and there. 😂
I wish this would also air on Nick Jr. That channel is the most famous one here in my country when there are kids in the house (because of shows Paw Patrol, Adventures of Paddington, Blaze and the Monster Machine, Deer Squad). And oftentimes, adults would sit and watch too. I truly wish Bluey would air on our tv channels too.
I know there's a ton to talk about with this show, but one thing you didn't get to mention was "Bin Night" which might be my favorite. It shows the family taking the garbage out, every week over the course of several weeks. There are just so many easter eggs and little plots they develop over this episode, from Bingo learning to deal with a bully, to Bluey getting her yellow belt, to them realizing that the phases of the moon correlate to the every-other-week recycling day, to the way the garbage they throw away correlates with the type of week they've had. I notice something new every time!
My family loves this show. And I love that I can almost always find a lesson from Bluey to help explain a complex situation to my kids that helps them work though it more easily. I'm sure it could have been explained without, but having an example from Bluey they've seen dozens of times, really helps it sink in.
I love how unashamedly Aussie it is while still being universal in its depictions of learning about the world and parenthood through play. It's like how the best songwriters can tell their life stories through music and sound like they're speaking directly to you.
I'm glad you took the time to analyze and explore the themes within my personal favorite episode, Flatpack. So simple and still so mind-blowing. Another great one is one of the recent episodes, Rain, which just absolutely floored me.
Dude, as a dad of two lil ones, Bluey is amazing to watch with them and then Play the games they play in the show. Every friend I’ve talked to has cried at sleep episode
I've heard of the show a few times, but never really watched until YT recommended a few clips (mostly fanmade compilations) to me by pure chance. I'm not a parent (let alone married), but what I did watch was... sweet and cozy. A short, comforting distraction from the insanity of the past few years.
Thank you for this. This is exactly the video I needed to “sell” the show to fellow parents. Wish you mentioned “camp” a little more. Another masterpiece 🧡
For me, a kids series, is a adult series but retouched for being more appropriate for younger viewers, learning good messages for the kids and even for the adults. And I found that in Bluey 10/10 I loved the Disney Plus édition I have to see the uncut one.
I'm glad that when he was going through all of the topics that the show also covers, he put in the most important bits like the clip. from the episode Onesies.
I heard alot about this show, and was pretty interested in watching it- I really only got into it once my partner watched it with me It’s fantastic- the writing and art direction are so appealing to all generations. I’ve only just started University, but this show made me wonder what my partner and I would be like as parents- I hope that it instils the same level of joy as it does seeing this show’s interpretation of parenthood
I came across this show while flipping through the channels one night and was surprised to see, quite unexpectedly, colorful Australian puppies playing a game of maternity hospital. I started to wonder if cartoons made outside the U.S. teach children about life's realities before American shows do, and I kept watching...to see a heartwarming lesson about communication and conflict resolution end the episode. Bluey perfectly follows the Golden Rule of children's tv - write well enough to entertain the parents, and the kids will be entertained too. Throw in the fact that it introduces kids to composers like Holst and Tchaikovsky (royalty-free music ftw!), and you have a perfect family show.
I felt like you did the show a disservice by only concentrating on the poignant aspects of it. Part of the reason it is so popular is because it also stays very lighthearted and throws in a lot of "adult" humour, some of it surprisingly racy in a way that a lot of kids shows avoid. Part of what makes it so good is it strikes an excellent balance between thoughtful and irreverent. Many kids series, in an effort to not "talk down" to kids end up talking down to parents. Kids aren't stupid, and they can tell when a parent is just watching something because they have to. Bluey strikes a chord because it's something that both adults and children can enjoy without any of the detached irony that many parents have to cultivate to get through an episode of say, Caillou. And if a parent is genuinely laughing along with what's happening on screen, not only does it make the more quite moments that much more emotionally impactful, but it also helps the kids enjoy the show more.
I have heard a ton of good feedback from Bluey, and it also has some insane references that are very well hidden in the background. I can tell that the team who makes the show really wants something that anyone can enjoy and leave with a smile, not like other shows which wants you engaged with the story or trying to learn something here and there...
Bluey gives me a roller coaster of emotions similar to when I first watched Wolf Children. The way the episodes play out, and it being a slice of life kind of thing, and dealing with things that you would normally have to deal with growing up. I'm so thankful to have watched this show alongside my s/o. It's the best experience to me, especially as an animation student.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO WHOLEHEARTEDLY. 💛The segment where you described Bluey and Bingo's game of evolution, and how they referenced "gods" and "heaven" was astounding! I haven't gotten to that episode yet, and it just blew my mind. This kids' show truly is like no other!
I have no kids but this show warms my heart so much. It makes me laugh, it makes me cry. I loved the stuff I watched when I was younger but wish I had this show as a kid.
I gave the show a watch a little while ago from writing this because I needed something completely wholesome and not annoying while I was sick, that and I couldn't help but notice Bandit sounded like Berry Steakfries from that time Halfbrick deiced to produce six shorts and two music videos for Jetpack Joyride and wanted to check it out. Which apparently on that last one, not sure they had the same voice actor, but the show and those shorts were made by the same animators, cool. I'm pretty sure this show is the only reason I'd be okay having kids in the future. I genuinely enjoy the show for a lot of reasons, and this video proved to me I still didn't give it enough credit.
It’s so wild seeing these comments talk about trauma, openly crying, and plenty of other emotionally deep comments in regards to a Disney Junior show. I’ll admit, when I saw the series, I wasn’t very impressed, I thought it just an above average kids show. But seeing it again, I’m now impressed
I stored your video for so long, I wanted to watch it when my son (now 3) and I start watching Bluey. And here I am, agreeing with everything you said. This show is something very special. Thanks for the video about it.
I am a single woman with no children, but I adore this show so much. What I love about the show is that it really highlights the joys of having children, especially at that age. Too many people have children and see them as something to be tolerated, not celebrated. This also shows parents that you can’t just shove an iPad in your children’s hands and expect them to become well-rounded and well develop individuals. It means answering 1 million questions, it means answering those same million questions over and over. It means having extreme patience and acknowledging that someone who hasn’t been been on the planet for 10 years actually needs to RAISED and TAUGHT, not just learning by osmosis. What I am most impressed about is Chili’s involvement as a parent. 100% of the time we see the mother being the “Didi Pickles” type. Completely enamored with her children and hovering over them afraid that she’ll miss something. It’s nice to see a mother spend time with her friends, playing sports, going to the gym, taking solitary walks on her own, and just getting to be away from her children where she doesn’t have to know what’s happening at every moment of the day. In turn, Bandit is always seen playing with them, but he actively engages and participates. He doesn’t just turn on the television and says “I’m watching them.” Plus, he knows how to break play and be a dad when necessary, like the time when Bluey wasn’t letting Bingo be the magic pillow and he let her sort it out before they went any further.
this is the only show that i watch with my nephew and mom. he lives with us and we watch it every night before bed. it is so adorable and sometimes genuinely makes me cry. it’s just my favorite.
My wife and I found this show a few years ago when we were out of town staying at a hotel. Naturally we put on a random cable channel for the kids. And this show was on. In the background. When I the kid dog had lost a tooth and the tooth fairy came last night. So the dad asks what did the tooth fairy leave. And Bluey says $5 bucks! The dad spit out his cereal and said FIVE BUCKS! We were hooked ever since.
I consider the show one of the best ever created. It was technicallly perfect and the feelings it makes are amazing cos you cant expect that it make u cry with something so pure and deep. Sleepytime is a great episode. ONe of the best ever made in a kids show because its about the inmortal love of a mother an the way of atureness of a child and the dedication of a father. It has all!!! AN the way of manage the last message destroys the hardest heart (chilis voice is so calm and lovely...). I love the show and it Taught how to be a present and better father and i hope some day to be so awsome father as Bandit is
I’ll say it now. Sleepy time is an episode one should watch with home theater sound system! I felt the impact when Bingo and dream floppies hugged at the beginning of the dream.
I actually just learned of this show a couple of days ago. Happened to walk into the living room while my little sister was watching it. I only saw the last minute or so before it ended and she ran off to another room, but it was interesting that I could tell in that short time that it was a well made show.
I'm so thankful you paid such great attention to "Flat Pack". It's a beautiful episode that is a great entry point for adults. You're doing a great job.
Haha, I wondered when the video essayists would start making videos about Bluey. Such an amazing show that gets a lot of different aspects of filmmaking right. I always end up burning through a season before I even watch it with my two young kids... I am pretty sure I like it a ton more than them. It's cliché at this point, but as a father, I know I aspire to be even half as fun and engaging a parent as Bandit. Chilli is amazing as well, and in different ways, but I just wish I had Bandit's complete and total commitment to a bit when playing with his kids.
It’s so weird watching this video because I just saw an episode the other day. I was just flipping around channels in the morning (all talk shows lol). It’s actually a super adorable show.
wow, the way you edited and made this video was so touching. you explained perfectly how this show touches your heart in the most beautiful way possible. I'm a 20 year old young adult, and watching bluey makes me so happy, even tho it leaves me crying most of the episodes :")
My family and I love this show. My brother and his wife turned us on to it a couple of years ago. So good. Thank you for helping me understand why we love it.
Flat Pack is the first episode of Bluey I watched in full on tiktok and it still remains my favourite (followed closely by Army). It's just such a simple episode with such an amazing overall theme. I could talk about that episode for days
i hate to admit this but ive probably watched Bluey more than my 2 year old niece at this point 😭 It just gives such a heartwarming cozy feeling whenever i watch it
Had a friend that has kids of his own show me this show one time and I was pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable it was to watch. (I was 29 at the time) Based on what I've been shown of the show myself I'd agree. It's a surprisingly fun show that anyone can watch and relate to.

What about it is that other shows transport you into an imagination world. In Bluey it only opens the door for you and you have to actively walk in to be immersed. It actively welcomes you to reuse the child like purity of imagination at it's core.

Those are fun to watch, but I find the ones in Bluey charming.
@@Fairygirl-q6g Taxi is such a great episode on how to make fun comedy movies.
As an Aussie this show captures Australian life and childhood so well. I’m so glad that some Aussie television is getting national recognition and it deserves it!!
I’m a TA and we put this show on for the kids and the consistent high quality and humour has me subscribed to their RUclips channel. It’s genuinely wonderful to watch
im a 13 year old girl and i still love watching bluey when i hang out with my friends, or even by myself! i love it and its become my comfort show to escape life sometimes
It’s amazing that Bluey is able to entertain both adults and kids alike. No other shows are really able to encapsulate that. Kids will like it for the cute dogs and vibrant colours, and adults will resonate with the stories and messages.
Bluey isn't just a kids show...it's the only media I've seen where being a family with kids isn't a joke or a challenge that is to be surmounted. It's a joy in the little things.
It might be an overshare, but...I never wanted to be a Dad until I watched Bluey. I love my parents and they loved me and raised me well, but I never saw my dad as a dad. He's my friend and it feels like he always has been. Watching Bandit, that just made me want to be a father.
A lot of childrens' entertainment relies so heavily on enforcing lessons through negative examples. "Don't be this guy" or "avoid this behavior" kinds of things. But Bluey is a show that emphasizes what we COULD be as role models to children. When everyone else is writing stories about bad guys becoming good, Bluey is stories about good people becoming better.
This show has done a lot to nurse the inner kid in me. Always good for a laugh when I need it.
Bluey is the show that has made me happy and sad cry the most. I started watching it with my niece and have watched all 3 seasons multiple times on my own. 10/10
I found Bluey a couple of months ago through RUclips, and I've been obsessed ever since. I'm not a parent yet, but I'd like to be one day. And this show is like the best parenting handbook I've ever seen. All the storylines are so relatable and entertaining to watch as a 24 year old guy.
I had heard of Bluey before but I stumbled into my cousins watching Sleepytime and was enraptured. I already loved Holst's Jupiter but I couldn't look away from the screen and it made me cry.
All of my younger cousins asked why I was so enamoured and I didn't have the words to express it at the time so I just said I loved the song. But it was much more than that.
the episode sleepytime also makes me cry everytime. some episodes do make me cry. like bumpy and the wise old wolf hound
I've explained Flatpack similarly to people who've not seen Bluey before, and I get a lot of doubt in return. One of the best pieces of TV, not just children's TV, ever made.
Ive been watching the show since 2020, and recently I have told my friends about my interest within this show. Never again will I share my feelings about anything that can be judged.
Love this show for this reason specifically. It has a sense of realism (as much realism as you can get from talking dogs) and it teaches kids that you can be creative with the things you have around you, including your parents into your games, the fact that some episodes, the parents do not want to play the game, being annoyed by certain games, there is so much to this show. Thanks for this video.
I dont think a kids show has ever brought me to tears before. Closest thing was the Steve returning in the modern Blues Clues trailer, and talking to us milennials for a moment. Bluey had me legit tearing up, in its own right, several times.
wait STEVES BACK?
holy crap yes! i love how this video covers what bluey as a show has to offer. like how it isn't a show only enjoyed by children, but by all!
bluey is amazing, for real life.
Love me some Bluey! Sleepytime gets me every time too, it’s perfect.
Same. That and the grandpa episode where he says "No, it was yesterday." I always tear up.
@@EntertainTheElk The lines: "What did she give you?" "Everything" from the end of Rug Island tickle my tear ducts too. Such a good show.
Nothing has made me cry and feel like Bluey has. I don't have kids, but I still relate to this show so much. I was a lot like Bluey as a kid, I'm a lot like Bandit now. I miss seeing so much wonder in the little things like the girls do. This show has really made me make a giant step in therapy lol it was a turning point in my life and it's a little ridiculous and silly but I wouldn't have it any other way.
I’m so glad my niece has been watching Bluey for over a year/two years so that I knew about it! It reminds me a lot of the great kids’ shows I grew up with (like Arthur, Dragon Tales, a myriad of other PBS shows, and more I just can’t think of atm). I also like the exposure to different accents/vocabulary for kids; it’s a great learning experience for them!
Edit: I do have to admit I 100% thought Bluey was a boy at first when I saw a few episodes here and there. 😂
I wish this would also air on Nick Jr.
That channel is the most famous one here in my country when there are kids in the house (because of shows Paw Patrol, Adventures of Paddington, Blaze and the Monster Machine, Deer Squad). And oftentimes, adults would sit and watch too.
I truly wish Bluey would air on our tv channels too.
I love Bluey. My wife loves Bluey. My daughter loves Bluey. The show is just brilliant - as you've outlined.
I know there's a ton to talk about with this show, but one thing you didn't get to mention was "Bin Night" which might be my favorite. It shows the family taking the garbage out, every week over the course of several weeks. There are just so many easter eggs and little plots they develop over this episode, from Bingo learning to deal with a bully, to Bluey getting her yellow belt, to them realizing that the phases of the moon correlate to the every-other-week recycling day, to the way the garbage they throw away correlates with the type of week they've had. I notice something new every time!
My family loves this show. And I love that I can almost always find a lesson from Bluey to help explain a complex situation to my kids that helps them work though it more easily. I'm sure it could have been explained without, but having an example from Bluey they've seen dozens of times, really helps it sink in.
I love how unashamedly Aussie it is while still being universal in its depictions of learning about the world and parenthood through play.
It's like how the best songwriters can tell their life stories through music and sound like they're speaking directly to you.
I'm glad you took the time to analyze and explore the themes within my personal favorite episode, Flatpack. So simple and still so mind-blowing. Another great one is one of the recent episodes, Rain, which just absolutely floored me.
Dude, as a dad of two lil ones, Bluey is amazing to watch with them and then Play the games they play in the show. Every friend I’ve talked to has cried at sleep episode
I'm 18 and love this show so much its not even a joke- I just bought the 32 inch plushy.
I've heard of the show a few times, but never really watched until YT recommended a few clips (mostly fanmade compilations) to me by pure chance. I'm not a parent (let alone married), but what I did watch was... sweet and cozy. A short, comforting distraction from the insanity of the past few years.
Recently started watching it with my 18 month old. Learning a lot about how to be a better parent.
Brilliant video, as a mom of 2 I absolutely love Bluey. It's such a wholesome show that is much more tolerable than others.
Thank you for this. This is exactly the video I needed to “sell” the show to fellow parents.
Wish you mentioned “camp” a little more. Another masterpiece 🧡
For me, a kids series, is a adult series but retouched for being more appropriate for younger viewers, learning good messages for the kids and even for the adults. And I found that in Bluey
10/10 I loved the Disney Plus édition I have to see the uncut one.
I'm glad that when he was going through all of the topics that the show also covers, he put in the most important bits like the clip. from the episode Onesies.
I heard alot about this show, and was pretty interested in watching it- I really only got into it once my partner watched it with me
It’s fantastic- the writing and art direction are so appealing to all generations. I’ve only just started University, but this show made me wonder what my partner and I would be like as parents- I hope that it instils the same level of joy as it does seeing this show’s interpretation of parenthood
I came across this show while flipping through the channels one night and was surprised to see, quite unexpectedly, colorful Australian puppies playing a game of maternity hospital. I started to wonder if cartoons made outside the U.S. teach children about life's realities before American shows do, and I kept watching...to see a heartwarming lesson about communication and conflict resolution end the episode. Bluey perfectly follows the Golden Rule of children's tv - write well enough to entertain the parents, and the kids will be entertained too. Throw in the fact that it introduces kids to composers like Holst and Tchaikovsky (royalty-free music ftw!), and you have a perfect family show.
I felt like you did the show a disservice by only concentrating on the poignant aspects of it. Part of the reason it is so popular is because it also stays very lighthearted and throws in a lot of "adult" humour, some of it surprisingly racy in a way that a lot of kids shows avoid.
Part of what makes it so good is it strikes an excellent balance between thoughtful and irreverent. Many kids series, in an effort to not "talk down" to kids end up talking down to parents. Kids aren't stupid, and they can tell when a parent is just watching something because they have to. Bluey strikes a chord because it's something that both adults and children can enjoy without any of the detached irony that many parents have to cultivate to get through an episode of say, Caillou. And if a parent is genuinely laughing along with what's happening on screen, not only does it make the more quite moments that much more emotionally impactful, but it also helps the kids enjoy the show more.
Bluey is the most accurate definition of a "family show" I've ever seen.
I have heard a ton of good feedback from Bluey, and it also has some insane references that are very well hidden in the background. I can tell that the team who makes the show really wants something that anyone can enjoy and leave with a smile, not like other shows which wants you engaged with the story or trying to learn something here and there...
Bluey gives me a roller coaster of emotions similar to when I first watched Wolf Children. The way the episodes play out, and it being a slice of life kind of thing, and dealing with things that you would normally have to deal with growing up. I'm so thankful to have watched this show alongside my s/o. It's the best experience to me, especially as an animation student.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO WHOLEHEARTEDLY. 💛The segment where you described Bluey and Bingo's game of evolution, and how they referenced "gods" and "heaven" was astounding! I haven't gotten to that episode yet, and it just blew my mind. This kids' show truly is like no other!
I have no kids but this show warms my heart so much. It makes me laugh, it makes me cry. I loved the stuff I watched when I was younger but wish I had this show as a kid.
Never has any other show brought me so many happy tears, let alone a kid's show!
I gave the show a watch a little while ago from writing this because I needed something completely wholesome and not annoying while I was sick, that and I couldn't help but notice Bandit sounded like Berry Steakfries from that time Halfbrick deiced to produce six shorts and two music videos for Jetpack Joyride and wanted to check it out. Which apparently on that last one, not sure they had the same voice actor, but the show and those shorts were made by the same animators, cool.
I'm pretty sure this show is the only reason I'd be okay having kids in the future. I genuinely enjoy the show for a lot of reasons, and this video proved to me I still didn't give it enough credit.
It’s so wild seeing these comments talk about trauma, openly crying, and plenty of other emotionally deep comments in regards to a Disney Junior show.
I’ll admit, when I saw the series, I wasn’t very impressed, I thought it just an above average kids show. But seeing it again, I’m now impressed
Elk, I'm a 41 year old man and my kids are teenagers... and you've made ME want to watch this show
Then I’ve done my job!
Im 13 and i watch it
I stored your video for so long, I wanted to watch it when my son (now 3) and I start watching Bluey. And here I am, agreeing with everything you said. This show is something very special. Thanks for the video about it.
Wow, thanks for storing it and coming back to watch it. So glad you're enjoying Bluey with your 3-year-old. I'm enjoying it with my two daughters too!
I am a single woman with no children, but I adore this show so much. What I love about the show is that it really highlights the joys of having children, especially at that age. Too many people have children and see them as something to be tolerated, not celebrated.
This also shows parents that you can’t just shove an iPad in your children’s hands and expect them to become well-rounded and well develop individuals.
It means answering 1 million questions, it means answering those same million questions over and over. It means having extreme patience and acknowledging that someone who hasn’t been been on the planet for 10 years actually needs to RAISED and TAUGHT, not just learning by osmosis.
What I am most impressed about is Chili’s involvement as a parent. 100% of the time we see the mother being the “Didi Pickles” type. Completely enamored with her children and hovering over them afraid that she’ll miss something. It’s nice to see a mother spend time with her friends, playing sports, going to the gym, taking solitary walks on her own, and just getting to be away from her children where she doesn’t have to know what’s happening at every moment of the day.
In turn, Bandit is always seen playing with them, but he actively engages and participates. He doesn’t just turn on the television and says “I’m watching them.”
Plus, he knows how to break play and be a dad when necessary, like the time when Bluey wasn’t letting Bingo be the magic pillow and he let her sort it out before they went any further.
as a brand new aussie i can say my best friend's child loves this show and i can enjoy it too while babysitting her
this is the only show that i watch with my nephew and mom. he lives with us and we watch it every night before bed. it is so adorable and sometimes genuinely makes me cry. it’s just my favorite.
My wife and I found this show a few years ago when we were out of town staying at a hotel. Naturally we put on a random cable channel for the kids. And this show was on. In the background.
When I the kid dog had lost a tooth and the tooth fairy came last night. So the dad asks what did the tooth fairy leave. And Bluey says $5 bucks! The dad spit out his cereal and said FIVE BUCKS! We were hooked ever since.
I consider the show one of the best ever created. It was technicallly perfect and the feelings it makes are amazing cos you cant expect that it make u cry with something so pure and deep. Sleepytime is a great episode. ONe of the best ever made in a kids show because its about the inmortal love of a mother an the way of atureness of a child and the dedication of a father. It has all!!! AN the way of manage the last message destroys the hardest heart (chilis voice is so calm and lovely...). I love the show and it Taught how to be a present and better father and i hope some day to be so awsome father as Bandit is
“No, it was yesterday” always makes me sob
My two year old cries every time he watches sleepy time 😭 it’s such an amazing show!
Bluey is one of the greatest pieces of evidence I’ve see that effort define the quality of a story, not its audience.
I babysit a lot and I started watching this with the kids. I've been watching since season one and I think I'm more excited about it than they are
Me: 3 seconds clips can't make me cry
Also me: *hard crying*
I’ll say it now. Sleepy time is an episode one should watch with home theater sound system!
I felt the impact when Bingo and dream floppies hugged at the beginning of the dream.
I haven't seen Flat Pack yet, but at 9:21 I just melted. That is so deep, beautiful and clever
I actually just learned of this show a couple of days ago. Happened to walk into the living room while my little sister was watching it. I only saw the last minute or so before it ended and she ran off to another room, but it was interesting that I could tell in that short time that it was a well made show.
I'm so thankful you paid such great attention to "Flat Pack". It's a beautiful episode that is a great entry point for adults. You're doing a great job.
The music and the for real life line hit me right in the feels
Haha, I wondered when the video essayists would start making videos about Bluey. Such an amazing show that gets a lot of different aspects of filmmaking right. I always end up burning through a season before I even watch it with my two young kids... I am pretty sure I like it a ton more than them. It's cliché at this point, but as a father, I know I aspire to be even half as fun and engaging a parent as Bandit. Chilli is amazing as well, and in different ways, but I just wish I had Bandit's complete and total commitment to a bit when playing with his kids.
It’s insane how good Sleepy Time is. But my favorite episode is the one where they take the bins to the side of the street.
We love bluey in my house me and my princess watch it all the time I cry and laugh with this show its so good!!!
We’re coming full circle we’re getting the charm in Children’s programming
It’s so weird watching this video because I just saw an episode the other day. I was just flipping around channels in the morning (all talk shows lol). It’s actually a super adorable show.
Yeah! Glad you thought so. Check some more episodes out.
@@EntertainTheElk will do! 😊
There's very few kids shows that can entertain both kids and adults like this.
wow, the way you edited and made this video was so touching. you explained perfectly how this show touches your heart in the most beautiful way possible. I'm a 20 year old young adult, and watching bluey makes me so happy, even tho it leaves me crying most of the episodes :")
Oh yes Bluey is by far the best kids show out there right now, I babysit my neice frequently and always adore watching this with her.
My family and I love this show. My brother and his wife turned us on to it a couple of years ago. So good. Thank you for helping me understand why we love it.
Flat Pack is the first episode of Bluey I watched in full on tiktok and it still remains my favourite (followed closely by Army). It's just such a simple episode with such an amazing overall theme. I could talk about that episode for days
i hate to admit this but ive probably watched Bluey more than my 2 year old niece at this point 😭 It just gives such a heartwarming cozy feeling whenever i watch it
The Jean-Luc and the evolution episodes are the ones the legit made me cry 😭
This damn show has made me cry so many times. Not only relating to my childhood but my kids as well. It has no business being as good as it is.
Had a friend that has kids of his own show me this show one time and I was pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable it was to watch. (I was 29 at the time) Based on what I've been shown of the show myself I'd agree. It's a surprisingly fun show that anyone can watch and relate to.
This show is just so good, it almost feels silly to say but Bandit is a good rolemodel for a new dad like me that i've just never had before
didn't come here expecting to be tearing up by the end. Very good video!
Just remember, just because a show is appropriate for kids doesn’t mean it’s only for kids.
