Xd, you did have to talk a lot lol-
Was there a bit you missed in Sleepytime? I was confused when I saw that Mercury wasn't hatched... Could this have been Chilli's miscarriage? There is a theory where Bluey was not her first child...
But yeah! This show is pretty deep.
Haha yeah I definitely did miss that in this video but I made sure to discuss it in my top 5 emotional bluey episodes video. I’m a big fan of that theory buddy 💙😁
I think bluey should be the standard for children's media, people saying it's just a kid's show need to raise their expectations of the things they show their kids.
Honestly facts. It’s easy to dismiss something in its entirety due to the standard which is what happens for some people looking in at a first glance
Bluey needs to be the new normal for parents to show their kids to occupy them, and not the dreaded Cocomelon and Elsagate contents.
@@nothdmoon Agreed!!! The stuff I’ve seen other lil kids watch horrify me compared to what we grew up watching as kids 80’s 90’s early 2000’s
Literally tho!!!
Yes
For me, one of the show's biggest strengths is that it takes kid's emotions seriously. The grownups always listen and never dismiss or downplay how the kids feel. In turn this tells the audience that emotions or reactions that we consider "childish" still matter and should be addressed as such. I think that's why it resonates so much with older viewers, even if they don't have kids. It's a gentle reassurance to your younger self that your feelings matter and that you should be as kind to yourself as Bandit and Chilli are to Bluey and Bingo.
This is probably the best summary I’ve heard for the shows ability to resonate with their audience. I wrote something similar with my explanation of daddy drop off for a video I’m editing but you put it very elegantly
100%
It reminds me of the original goal of Sesame Street - teach children important foundational skills, no matter their situation. Their goal was to basically be televised preschool for kids whose parents couldn't afford to send them to preschool. Bluey seems like it's trying to do something similar, but with social emotional learning as the focus rather than letters and numbers, and I think that's incredibly important. Every child should know their feelings matter.
A lot of things in this show get to me a lot, and it's always when I see the kid's feelings being addressed and talked to like they matter. I grew up with a narcissistic parent (The other broke up, and tried to keep me but custody battle didn't go in their favor) and recently been struggling from that..
Bluey hits me in the feels because it explores a childhood I never got, and honestly that's beautiful. It's exactly how I want to raise my own kid some day If I have
Back in day Big Bird caught some illness and almost died. So I am waiting for one of them to end up dead in the show.
My mom passed away when I was 21 so when Chilli said “remember, I’ll always be here for you, even if you can’t see me” got me fucking w r e c k e d
Sorry for you loss
The important thing is that she's happy in heaven 😊
I’m sorry to hear that. My mother passed a month before I turned 18. That line also got me into a full breakdown.
My condolences to you.
I also lost my mom at an early age. I lost my mom at 19, I’m 21 now.
Hearing Chili say,
“sometime special people come into our lives, stay for a bit. Then they have to go,” wrecks me to my core.
@@dynamicdyke3693 that line, made me think of my online friend from India, 2 of them and how I thought of one of them as a little brother to me. I was really sad when I couldn't contact them anymore.....
For me that line is the people we meet in life, that includes friends and even people we never met but had an impact to our lives as well..
Condolences
@@annonimors2811
I agree with you.
That one goes for many things - not just loss - as well as people we lost contact with.
“That was a long time ago…” “No, it was yesterday.” That never fails to make me cry
The way Chilli said her line in that scene made feel like crying. 😢
That single moment had tears seriously threatening to well up in my eyes and I haven't even seen that episode. I've only seen the first few, purely out of curiosity. I had to really fight just to not start crying. 😂
As the mother of a Deaf child, the episode Turtleboy really touched me. Even though we use ASL and not Auslan, she was still able to recognize that there was someone like her on TV. The look on her face? I wouldn't trade that for anything.
I honestly felt like my heart melted when I read that last sentence, that’s so sweet! I’m happy you, as well as your daughter, were able to resonate in that way with the show :)
@@Pugly resonate? 🥲
The fact that the Venus and earth represent Bingo and Bluey gives pretty nuanced subtext on their parents first child resulting in a miscarriage
The heeler breed is prone to pregnancy issues in real life, including infertility and miscarriages.
And there is also the scene where the balloon pops when Bluey and Bingo are recreating Bandit and Chili's story and he takes her hand and she looks a bit shocked...
@@Purrabella yeah, Bandit's first instinct is not to comfort Bingo, but to comfort Chili, very heavily implied miscarriage :(
I didn't catch this detail, I had no idea, but...is this why they are such devoted parents? Does that loss make the children they do have so precious?
@@7thMoonHidariude They’d probably love them just the same way, but it does explain why Chili took Bluey to the doctor every time she didn’t crawl or walk.
As a dad, I idemtify so much with Bandit. He's written so strong, but also falable. In Duck Cake where he can't get the head right and collapses on the floor defeated, we've all been there as dads thinking we've failed our kids. Then when Bingo loves the cake, for no reason more than Dad made it, it's so powerful. It speaks to how much your kids look up to you and believe in you. I lost it watching that episode.
I feel like a lot of shows tend to depict dads as bumbling, dopey, etc. Dads in cartoons are rarely ever given enough space to portray the emotional intelligence that fathers can bring to the table. It's really, really refreshing.
@@Snarl_Marx that or the dad is an abuser or deadbeat who left their kids and family. So it’s really nice seeing this show portray that dads can actually be smart and caring.
I felt awful for him when he did that, you can just see how sad and defeated he feels in that moment it’s incredibly sad! But Bingo would love it no matter what because Bandit is her dad and he tried his best. ❤️
the scene where Brandy still grieves over not having children always chokes me up. My aunt was also unable to have kids, and when I was young I would ask her why she wasn't able to have any. It wasn't until I got a little older that I learned that she was infertile. However, despite all that, she was still able to be a mother by adopting my cousin.
Edit: I should be clear, my current cousin was adopted from a couple who gave up their baby because they were very young. Still, I am grateful to have him in my life.
So yeah! CRIED! :')
Thank you for sharing a little piece of your life with me, I think that’s beautiful she was finally able to be a mother like she’s always wanted 💙
It would do my heart good to see an episode where she visits again, and brings along her adopted child(ten).
My aunt also adopted my cousin ❤
Oh my gosh this is exactly my aunt’s story. She couldn’t have children. So two months before I was born, she finalized the adoption of her four month old child whom is now my older cousin.
My aunt adopted my cousin as well!!
The chili and granddad scene always gives me chills
Don't you mean "chillies"?
Aha!! I got the joke! I was looking at this a day ago and I was like “this is a weird correction” and then I got what you were saying, that’s actually really clever
I cry like a baby at this episode
I saw that episode a few days after my maternal grandpa died from covid. I cried so much
Sleepytime was the most heartwarming for me; the plot, the emotion, the soothing background music, I ALWAYS CRIED TO THAT EPISODE 😭🥺
To this day, it's one of my all time favorite Bluey episodes! 💙
You know what I realised. Characters almost always don't cry but tear up only and I believe that plays a role with the quote "If your character cries, the audience won't. If your character tries their best not to cry, *then* the audience will cry."
This show is for me one of the closest slice of life depictions I have ever seen. It's wholesome and joyous but every and then it shows how life obliterates you and pulls you back to reality. Infertility, death, having to say goodbye to people, having to move out of the only place you ever called home, poor education systems failing their students (Jack), the effects of a dad being away to the military to their own kids among many other themes. The biggest thing is how it manages to capture very small universal behavior and situations we have all lived one way or another making that connection to the characters that much more meaningful.
That’s a really good observation that I never considered before with the tearing up thing. That’s actually really cool thing to look out for actually, smart thinking buddy. I agree with everything you said, this show is a perfect slice of life and reflects some many different crowds of people. Its what makes it so amazing
@@Pugly If I don't notice these things as a animator / writter who will?
Oh shit, I gotta remember that quote.
Didn't Bryan Cranston say that quote?
@@rustymidlander05 Micheal Caine I think. The audience will cry for you.
"I'll always be here with you, even if you can't see me."
Anyone who has ever watched The Land Before Time *definitely* remembers that phrase and still wishes that dogs live and age the same way humans do...
The Land Before Time was my first non-Disney childhood movie. I remember that line so well. I’ve lost some people dear to me recently. My paternal grandmother was stern when I was little, but she mellowed out as I got older. When I first got my driver’s license, she couldn’t wait to go places with me at the wheel. I’ll always cherish that moment. Rest well, grandma… 🙏
@@twist58 I lost my mom at age 12 (I'm 28, but I don't feel like I'm 28...) by a gran mal. Both Mother's Day and her birthday feel weird (like "empty" weird). Ever since, it feels like someone pushed a huge "reset button" on my personality/life and I would have to start over again, but this time, without someone important.
As a single dad that comes from a broken home I'm not ashamed to say I watch this to learn how to be a fun dad to my 2 angels lol
I don't know who you are and I'm basically still a kid too, but whatever you're doing, I hope you're doing okay and good luck on your adventures on nurturing your kids and healing yourself
Im a single mom and same
Yo, seeing Rusty’s dad come back really hit’s you right in the feels, why does this feel like one of the only shows for younger people that’s actually trying
This scene was a harsh one for me. Both of my parents were soldiers. Unlike Rusty though, I dreaded when they came home from deployment. They never came back good, and as an adult I understand why. But as a kid, all I knew was when Dad came home from Bosnia he didn't care about me anymore. When he came back from Afghanistan, he didn't care about anyone anymore. He would belittle and bully me into the ground, then be disgusted when I wasn't the boy he wanted. Mom tried more, but she also didn't come home the same from deployment and she became hyper protective of me and had a temper that would be set off by everything. Seeing this episode was hard because I identified a lot with Rusty and Spot, but my parents were nothing like Rusty's and all I learned from them was to stay quiet and do everything in my power not to trigger people.
@@Steadyaim101 oh my gosh, I am so sorry about your experience with this, no one deserves and especially not at a young age. I wish you the best
I recently got into watching Bluey. My brother is living in Queensland, Australia (we're Americans) and he was first introduced to Bluey by a girlfriend. He loves this show and he said he can relate to Jack as he has ADHD issues and he is currently taking medication for. In all honesty, this show handles disabilities with much better grace than any other show we watched growing up. I have autism spectrum disorder and I can relate to Jack, too.
I have ADHD bad and I can't even with this shows messages ❤️😭
I'm currently getting tested for both, and I relate to Jack, too.
I can see by your profile picture that you’re asexual. Hello from another autistic asexual! :D
something that really took me by surprise was the moment in “baby race” when, after being told she was doing well by another parent, chilli tells judo “good job, you clever girl!” i just burst into tears bc🥺 everyone was so busy being focused on their own perceived lack of accomplishment that they neglected to acknowledge to the BABIES how great they’re doing. of course this was all realized in hindsight-in the moment i just cried lol
Ok but who's also struggling not to cry watching this whole 17min video 😭😭 not only me right?? even just watching snippets of the show or just hearing the mention of several episodes gets me tearing up. This show is healing my inner child ❤️
honestly every shot of bingo in front of the sun no matter how short had me balling
nope I'm with you here
I have never seen or heard of this sow before the algorithm randomly recommended this video to me, and I AM crying
Back in 2017 my ex fiancee and I broke up, before that we discussed and fantasized about having two daughters. Due the previous experience we had by babysitting my sister's triplets.
At first, watching Bluey made me "relive" some memories and fantasies I had about being a dad and a husband, but the show never made me cry...
Until the one with Chilli's Dad. My god, hearing her saying "I'm still need him..." made me tear because I lost my mother that same year and, oh my God... I do still need her.
Thank you for sharing your story, I’m really sorry to hear you had some rough years and I’m hoping you get to be a dad and husband you always wanted to be. I lost my mother as well so I know to an extent how you felt with those scenes, it’s so touching
Oh I definitely know that feeling. I cried my eyes out when I saw that for the first time since a few days before my grandpa got put into hospice.
Now that I think about it, it seems a little suspicious to me that Bob (Bandit's father) doesn't remember his son's name despite remembering the names of his other children. Maybe it's not intentional but they could use this moment to talk about neglectful fathers and how it hurts their children. It would also be heartwarming to see how Bandit doesn't want to be like his father and try to be better for his daughters.
Honestly yeah. It's not technically 'discussed' but from that same episode, I got the impression that both of Bandit's parents weren't very good parents.
It also makes further sense then why Bandit was kind of a little shit when he was younger, and to some extent why he still carries some of those traits. Remember that episode where he and his brother played squash? Or the one where he straight up cheated when racing Bluey because he couldn't handle loosing to a child?
Don't get me wrong, Bandit's a good dude and father, but in those episodes he was kind of a dick. And both episodes definitely make him come across as insecure, something which he probably still has from his childhood.
@@bluebird1914 I think it makes more sense that this is why he is so competitive, probably had to compete a lot to get attention from his family. And him being insecure over losing to Bluey to the point of cheating in the episode Obstacle, is leftover insecurity that didn't seem to get resolved, not to mention being a middle child is a whole other can of worms to tackle. Doesn't excuse what he did and fortunately does get a taste of his own medicine by the end of the episode, hopefully he'll improve as time goes on in the series cause I like Bandit and want to see him improve :)
I can't believe I'm describing a preschool-targeted show here, but this has to be the single best young children's show I've ever come across.
It blends elements of imagination and realism perfectly, and by "realism", I mean _actual_ realism. The adults in the show aren't just Mommy and Daddy, they're Bandit and Chili, individual people with their individual characters. Watching as a grown adult is very pleasurable because it's incredibly relatable to adults, especially those with children or who spend extended time with someone who has children. At the same time, watching the episodes focused on the kids feels very nostalgic, like a peek into childhood in a light that's been turned off for a long time.
The parents struggle to parent sometimes, but do their best in awkward and complicated situations in an effort to make the children happy. I've NEVER seen that on such a realistic level in a preschool show. The parents aren't those all-knowing superheroes that kids often see their parents as, they're just two people getting through life raising kids one day at a time, and they're great parents.
The show has all this going for it, AND complex, troubling situations that many can relate to. Complex situations affecting children, adults, or both on multiple levels aren't omitted. Lack of control, loss, death, hints of a miscarriage, yearning despite infertility, parents in the army, trauma that one can't remember the roots of, parents still needing their own parents, I've seldom seen these issues covered in children's shows, much less preschool shows. Then, there's the struggle of being a child and knowing you're different, and how that difference makes things harder for you and those caring for you, but you can't figure out why you're the way you are or how to be normal.
This show is just... real life with the perfect amount of imagination. I can't believe a preschool show about anthropomorphic dogs would hit home so much to adults. For many of the heavier situations, there's no big happy ending where things are fixed, but there is a sense of closure, companionship, and a sense of "Life goes on, and we can still be happy despite this" as adults comfort the children and each other. There's no undoing a miscarriage, but Chili has her two children and a loving husband. There's no cure for ADHD, but those with it are still good at a lot of things, and the right friend can make them feel successful. Past experiences relating to others who caused us harm may always be with is, but we can learn to trust again because there ARE good people out there that will honor you and earn your trust despite you having no gurantee that the bad event won't reoccur. Complex trauma-induced fears that we can't remember have a significant effect, but the right kind person can bring us comfort and help us overcome the fear.
This show is just... real all around. From slice of life, pretend games to deeply realistic traumatic situations and heartfelt happy endings revolving around moving on and accepting the past as having happened but being gone now... "incredible" doesn't begin to describe Bluey.
You remember Hey Arnold!? If you don't, you might wanna check it out for when your kids get a little older; maybe it takes a minute to get going, but once it does, it gets into some similar territory.
@@Hakajin I've watched a few episodes on Nicktoons. I really didn't like the show as a young kid, but when I got older, I thoroughly enjoyed it. We need more wholesome shows like that to be produced in this age.
One of the biggest reasons that Bluey gives people these emotions is due to the fact of how relatable it is. Many parents and children have been in the same positions as the characters, thus may be able to see a bit of themselves and others in the characters.
For me, the most impactful episode was Spot's. I grew up with undiagnosed ADHD and it felt extremely relatable. I was always doing things wrong despite my best attempts and I hated myself because I couldn't understand what was wrong with me. My teachers would tell my parents I was functionally illiterate because my reading journal was empty. I'd always be reading and well beyond my classmates but I could never seem to write it down. People would scream at me for making vocal stims or shaking my legs too much. Then they tried to medically sedate me to get through class and I would literally get in fist fights with my TA to not take the pills. Just like Spot's story, the military was super helpful for me when I joined the reserves in high school, and afterwards I I finished university and even my PhD in Psychology. I really, really wish I had an adult that would have taken the time to understand me and help me in the way I needed it instead of writing me off. Watching Spot's story helped me come to terms with the childhood I didn't have because no one cared to help me, and it inspired me to help kids today going through the shit by volunteering with Big Brothers/Sisters.
I’m so happy to hear that you are choosing to spend your time helping others in need by volunteering, I really appreciate you sharing a bit of your story and I’m sorry to hear your struggles. I’m very proud of you for overcoming your past and working towards a better future for you as well as those around you 💙
My story is very similar :( i hear you bro
I always tear up at the episode with the dalmatians where the father doesn't know how to play with his daughter but he still wants to try and they end up playing in a way that works for both of them. I'm a mom to a toddler and I've always been really good with babies but I've never really known how to interact with kids. I feel nervous when my boy grows up that I won't know how to talk to him or he'll get bored with me. But I think people underestimate how much kids appreciate it when you TRY. You don't have to be perfect, they still like spending time with you and will always like when you're interested in their hobbies regardless.
Bluey is just an example of when a show is made from the heart.
the french ver has bluey speaking in french and jeanne luc is named jonhny and speaks english
I loved watching the French version of that episode, it was so interesting to see the other side of the perspective
Oh wow!
Also!!! Bandit being Jupiter has another meaning I thing. The episode uses Holtzs planets, were Jupiter is “the bringer of joy”. Which is definitely accurate for bandit
Jupiter is also often considered the shepherd of the other planet, and this was also pointed out in Holtz's themes for that Jupiter peice.
I can't get over how well thought out and deep so much of this show is. It's like, adult literature level symbolism in a show that's on it's surface just a fun kids show. unreal!
Jupiter is my single favorite piece of music ever made.
Having a son who is both on the spectrum and ADHD, the Jack Russell episode really hit home.
Having adhd it feels like I’m seen
I love how they don’t just tell kids life lessons but show them
Yes, the way they act them out through play and storytelling feels so gratifying.
I am not one to comment or sub normally, but you totally earned it!
I get the feeling that many see in Bluey just a sincere representation of what childhood could/should be like. I don't feel like they are ticking boxes and following a recipe, I feel like they dug into their own lives and retold their most meaningful memories. I think this appeals to even childless adults becayse they too had a childhood and sometimes long for those days.
This show is my kryptonite.
Ayyy thank you very much buddy, you have no idea how much that means to hear. I’m excited to see you around the channel haha. I agree with what you said, they really try to make the show as good as it is and it really shows with the episodes themes and meanings
The episode Camping made me ball my eyes out. As someone who grew up camping and who was never able to keep a best friend for more then a couple years at most, the whole episode just had me reliving memories from my own childhood. And the last scene when the kids are under the stars and then the flash forward scene at the end... I'm going to start crying again lol
I made so many vacation friends on my trips camping or to the beach. I still think about them and wonder how they are.
The episode "Daddy Robot" really warmed my heart. Bandit and Chili play right along with the girls, and use playtime as a way to teach the girls important lessons instead of just instructing. Bandit and Chili are so in love with each other and it just puts the cherry on top of the family.
This show never fails to make me teary eyed
same here. especially sleepytime
Ngl that episode of mom worrying about her own father made me cry. I became to close to my dad that I always beside him when he was diagnosed with colon cancer and passed away when I was 11. Then watching the campsite episode made me cry even more from the mom line "friends come and go. You made them happy right? They'll remember you. Life is full of magical surprises." I legit cried.
Man I miss my dad. The last time we played was soccer before he fell ill and stood in the hospital. Man I miss him still
I love Bandit so much. He reminds me of my dad 100% for he was the only parent that supports my art career dream and bought me car toys. I always wish to see him with grey hair and his favorite career expand. He was a truck driver and always told us stories of the state
I was crying violently after sleepy time. The love and affection Chilli has for Bingo is something I’ll never have from my own mother
Edit: oh god have I been a bit too relatable bc that’s a lot of likes in 3 days ;-;
Me too, it took me so much by surprised i just spontaneously started crying knowing my mom doesn’t love me
Sameeee. I was really torn up about not having that kind of warmth (or the security and joy of Dad Jupiter) in my own childhood. Bingo is such a tender and sensitive kid, I see a lot of my child self in her.
Same.. but we found love elsewhere ❤️ were not alone ❤️😁
I never watch I'm almost 19
I haven’t seen the Sleepytime episode, just Pugly’s video about it, I only came here by accident from listening to Gustav Holst. I don’t know if I could handle watching the entire episode because when I was Bingo’s age I got beaten by my dad for having a bad dream and calling for my mum. I don’t think it’s really possible to fully recover from that sort of shit in your childhood.
The little dog with ADHD hit hard because everything he explained and said asked why he was like that reminded me of myself. I struggle with ADHD and I find myself asking why I can’t remember anything or sit still even though I know I have adhd. I’m so glad they added a character like that in a kids show to show how adhd works in kids and adults.
I thought that this show would be hard for me to watch as someone who had a crappy childhood. Whenever people bring up memories of sleepovers, birthday parties, bonding with their parents, feeling loved and safe, etc I just feel insecure and I mourn for my child-self. But this show makes me really happy and it makes me think more kids are going to be able to express themselves. It's also helping to normalize good parenting. It's nice.
Bruh after you showed all the sad moments, I immediately got a Burger King ad
What a juxtaposition lol, I hope that made you chuckle because reading that make me think of all the whoppers memes haha
To chear u up
I love whenever the music goes from original to classical. I think it's a great way to introduce kids to diverse music, and it's also a lot of fun to recognise the pieces used
Haha I totally feel ya, it’s always fun to hear some familiarity in the music. I think there was an interview where they said something along the lines that they wanted to introduce classical music to a newer generation which I always appreciated from the studio
@@Pugly I have never watched Bluey (seems like I need to; Hey Arnold! is like, my favorite thing EVER, and there seem to be some commonalities), but my friend turned on your video. When you got to Sleepy Time... You know that's Gustav Holst's Jupiter near the end, there? So if Bandit is represented that planet... He's there at the end, too. Especially since there's the bit about, "Even if you can't see me," since music is sound... ALSO! There's a song written to the melody of Jupiter, "I Vow to Thee My Country," and part of it is, "The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test, that lays upon the alter the dearest and the best; the love that never falters, the love that pays the price, the love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice." Which of course is talking about giving one's life for one's country, but I think it incredibly likely that the composer for the series knew about the song and intentionally recontextualized it to be about a parent's love. Which, thinking about it, is a little ironic, because a country is often framed as a parent for which one sacrifices... I haven't thought about it much.
I never thought I’d be so invested in a cartoon show aimed for family’s and kids.. I think because my family was so broken, every episode has taught me and made me cry seeing an actual stable functioning and loving family.
Something I didn’t have and still never experienced too often while growing up.
I didn’t have too many good friends or friends either.
My brain is actually very different from other peoples. No matter how hard I’ve tried to learn new things, I forget it the next day. Even things I cherish and love. I’m able to rewatch every episode and cry all over again. To me that’s really special when a show can do that.
I have severe ADHD and chronic depression and anxiety. It’s hard to battle myself everyday with emotions and this show truly helps me stop battling those inner intrusive thoughts as well.
I honestly wish I had that when growing up. I can only imagine the things I’d be doing if I wasn’t told I should stop drawing when I was 6 years old, or being yelled at for very small things. Or being alone in the house when I was 6-17, and my parents coming home from work to yell at each other and me for being there.. I just wish I had any smidge of love, care and tenderness this show exhibits.
I’m sorry to hear about your upbringing, I think it’s important that you are able to identify and recognize the parts of your life that weren’t too grand so you can use it to sympathize and better those around you and possibly your own kids. Use your disadvantages as your advantage for the future and I wish you well as you approach your future, I have confidence it will be bright buddy 💙
I can relate because my family wasn't really like this, but at least they still care about each other and me.
I unfortunately can understand
My dad was in the Navy. Every time he came back he always had something like a patch for me from where he had been. I was always so excited to see what he brought me, 40 years later i still have all of them. In Army, Rusty says when his dad comes back from patrol he brings him a condensed milk. At the end of the episode Jack says "can I have my condensed milk now?" 'Where did you get condensed milk?' His new friend gave him his favorite thing from his dad. Ugly cry doesn't describe it. I had to leave the room.
Bluey makes me cry because I wish my parents interacted and played with me the way Chilli and Dingo do with all the kids.
Something that made me fall in love with Bluey was the parents and their involvement in their children's lives. The first episode I watched was Trains and I loved how involved they were with the game. I think the show does something for my inner child. Seeing parents that play with their kids like that is something I never had but wished I did. I think that's something a few people can relate to.
Every time I hear "You're doing great" in that one episode, I am BAWLING
I didn't have the best parents, so I never knew what healthy parenting can actually look like. And I never even thought about it really. Until I saw this show, and it made me break down and ugly cry just seeing a family actually interact like this. I will never be as good a parent as these characters, but I'm gonna try my hardest to be as a great a parent as possible if I'm ever blessed with the opportunity. This show really inspired me
yup. cried. again.
your briefs of the episodes and messages of the shows are so simple yet well crafted. if this don’t get people to watch it than i don’t know what will 😄
Thanks buddy!! It really means a lot to hear that because I take a lot of time writing and finding the right words to describe things so it’s really awesome to hear someone say that about my video. Also don’t worry, these scenes make me cry too 💙🧡
im not going to lie, ive had some emotional moments in my life, and how she said: "sometimes special people come, and then go" almost made me shed a tear tbh
I recently re-watched one of the episodes that makes a lot of people mist up -- "Camping" -- and noticed that Bluey, when she is about to break down sobbing, is shown with her lip quivering. Real, palpable grief. That attention to detail is just brilliant.
The *timing* of that episode, the way they fit an entire "what I did on my summer vacation" story (complete with the boyfriend from Canada!) in seven minutes, is astonishing and admirable. CRAFT.
I cried during so many episodes of the show. Camping was the first episode that made me cry. Sleepytime as well. The episode where Bluey and the kids spend time with their grandma as well, reminded me of my own grandma too and all the happy memories with her as kids.
It's amazing how the show literally makes you cry by being so sincerely touching in such a simple way. It's truly beautiful. It's like I connect with all those childhood memories and it just...hits. Really, really hard. But in such a good way. I love this show so much.
Every few generations, a blue dog is gonna come and guide them
"Venus is seen hatched already, symbolizing Bluey as the first child"
Though Venus is the second closest to the Sun. Then who is Mer... oh, my god😢
Honestly the episode which made me cry the hardest was with Jack i have ADHD and i was unmedicated most of my childhood (now im on meds and things are a bit easier) but i never understood why i couldn't be a normal kid back then when no one explained what ADHD was to me hurts to look back on but it was so refreshing seeing Jack
Army is my all time favorite episode because of that reason as well, it serves as a perfect looking glass into the condition and is frankly the best and most positive representation of it in recent media
@@Pugly just him saying i dont know when asked why he couldnt do as he was told hit me like a truck lol
ADHD for me is just seeing the world in a different point of view.
Same. I really wish when I grew up in the 90s ADHD was more recognized. My dad thought he could beat the ADHD out of me when I couldn't do chores right. My teachers wrote me off as functionally illiterate and just a disturbance to other kids. I got my PhD in Psychology a couple months ago and though I'm really proud with all I've accomplished, it shouldn't have had to be all by myself and against the world. I wish that I had an adult who understood who I was and helped me in the way I needed. Jack's story was really healing because I saw how far the world's come in recognizing ADHD and how to live with it.
Sleepytime is a masterpiece regardless of the age of the viewer. The combination of the mostly wordless animation and Holst's music arranged by Joff Bush is as perfect as any sequence on TV has ever been. Also Bandit getting hit in the nuts will never, ever not be funny.
Bandit might disagree with you on that last point.
This show is amazing I feel like rug island is so underrated when bandit said that small "everything" my heart was so overwhelmed I had to stop watching to just sob for 20 mins
Rug island is certainly extremely emotional when looking at the deeper themes, I actually just finished writing a nice summary for that episode and looking forward to explain its nuisances on my next upload
imagine how emotional it makes me, as an Aussie! The slice-of-life-ness of it all is so much deeper. Just having a setting in a cartoon that looks like your home - the trees, the roads, the household items) is something so incredible and not to be taken for granted! Within that context it just connects me to my childhood even more and makes me cry every several episodes!
One of my favorite details in this is how an excerpt of Gustav Holst's "Jupiter" plays in the background while Bingo sits on Mercury in front of the Sun. It just makes the scene that much more perfect and impactful.
Imagine how the last episode will be.
I don’t wanna see the end of the series but I know that when the time comes that it will be as beautiful as the rest of the series
The last episode was supposed to be the one where they watch sports but they decided to continue it
PERISH THE THOUGHT!
I predict depression rates will go up that day.
I’m Australian, from QLD about an hour out from Brisbane and all the locations they show in Bluey are real, look up South Bank Brisbane and you’ll see all the similarities.
I can see myself in them, I can see my siblings in them, because I went through the same things, at the exact same locations, at the exact age, and that’s something I’ve never gotten from any other show.
This show brings me so much joy, and so much pride in my country, because I can relate so much with the culture, language, rituals, traditions, locations, activities and the people in it, something I’ve never gotten from foreign media.
It’s a national treasure, I’ve never met an Australian who hasn’t watched Bluey, I remember when the new season came out everyone in class (highschool) had their laptops open binging it, and mate, were people crying.
The use of Holst's Jupiter theme over the sun is actually really clever. Not only does the melody make me sob on its own.... but it also implies the presence of the dad, as well
Barky boats hit really close to home for me. I am an 11 year old Australian girl in grade six (I'm turning 12 this July), and I have a friend who is a year older than me. She went into high school last year, whilst I'm still in primary school. Barky boats is my favourite episode, and another reason why is because I myself am in high school next year, and I am really nervous. Mia is definitely my favourite character in Bluey that we've Really only seen once. I really hope we see Mia and cap'n in future episodes!
I would love to see Mia and captain more, they are such good characters. Thanks for sharing a little piece of your life with me, wishing you the best of luck with your future in high school and further :)
@@Pugly thank you! I sometimes like to get real deep on the internet TvT
I'm 41 yrs old, and my daughter is 8 yrs old. We watch Bluey religiously. This show that teaches us something new almost every time. I even watch it by myself. We truly love it!
It is nothing less than amazing what this show does in like 7 minutes. I’m in therapy partially due to emotional issues and the show is actually helping me through it. I was raised to be tough, very emotionally guarded and never to cry, I’ve cried several times watching Bluey. Also I was not prepared for the Brandy episode, I’m infertile and have never felt so seen and understood by a price of media.
before i started watching this i said to myself: *"It's a kid show, it's not that deep, it can't be that deep!"* and once i watched it i was like: *"It's a kid show, and it's deep."*
Thanks, I cried even just watching this.
Also I LOVE the parallel between Chilli's "I promise I'll always be here for you. Because I love you." And Bandit's "I promise I'll always love you."😭
16:23 “watching them segmentally does not them justice” Me crying even at these short clips
I think the only child cartoon episode that legitimately made me tear up was in Bluey's Sleepytime episode. The animation was absolutely stunning, the silent moments were amazing, and the bombastic music chosen was the thing that really choked me up.
The quote from the end of Camping gets me every damn time. Instant tears.
That scene with Chilli and her dad always makes me tear up.
whenever i see the characters grown it makes me sob
This show just reminds me of what being a child was like. I miss it.
I'm 25 and on the spectrum. I watch the show when I need to get my emotions out, calm down, laugh, and even trigger similar memories with my dad lol
I found the show Bluey for my daughter, and I prefer it over any other show, it has lovely and necessary moral messages for children, but also for parents struggling to know how to react to difficult situation and be confident in themselves. It is completely relatable, hilarious, and I a 28 year old mum of one living in a lonely country that isnt my own, and it has made me cry many times. I love watching it with my daughter, and until I saw your video I didnt know anyone else was so affected - and it turns out everyone is! That's so nice, I feel more connected to people.
I thought I was weird because this show makes me cry 😭 Glad I'm not alone
Something that makes me cry even more when watching Bluey is watching my kid's response to certain parts. She's too little to talk yet, but I swear I cried harder the second time watching Sleepytime and seeing her smile grow as bingo is pulled across the galaxy on a comet to the sun, she keeps smiling the entire time chili is talking and finally tackles me in a hug when the line "I love you" is said. Bluey is just such a special show honestly I've never seen anything like it.
Bluey reminds me, that I am a person who has experienced most of life as others have but in my own way, that even though we leave behind our purest thoughts and dreams in childhood, we can still see later life as something just as fun and meaningful. We all go through hardships sometimes daily, but by putting our best foot forward we can make our future as bright as the day we can first remember. Just beautiful.
You had no right making me cry with that mashup of powerful bluey moments in the beginning 😭
Tbh when I first saw Brandy and heard chilli say softly “she just can’t have the things she wants” I broke down crying I’ve never once felt like a character could relate to me in this way and to hear that it just got me…I can’t have kids I found out when I was barely 13 and it hasn’t gotten any better but to relate to her from a show it made me feel so amazing and seen for once
The thing I like about Bluey is that it‘s emotionally sincere. The moments ring true because of Brumm’s real experiences with his own children and it doesn’t feel the need to be patronising or emotionally manipulative in how it creates sad scenes.
There is ambiguity to a lot of the show’s mysteries. We don’t truly know about Chilli’s situation. Bingo’s dream seems more based on distorted reality. Ideas she doesn’t fully comprehend because the unknown is frightening to a kid (sleepy time is ambiguous with details about what Bingo thinks during these dreams). She doesn’t know about Chilli’s potential unborn child. Dreams don’t always make sense. I’ve had strange otherworldly dreams that feel too real and those distorted moments from my dreams I can still remember.
What I love about the show is that they never outright state things unless it’s completely necessary. Also, I do love how the show handles disabilities. It doesn’t dwell but takes the time to humanise the characters in a way that empathises with their situations.
It makes the characters feel relatable and understandable. I definitely have a lot respect for the show in how takes the characters seriously while still being a fantastic family show, not just a kids show.
Too many kids shows I’ve seen feel more incredibly shallow than nuanced and feel like they don’t really understand kids at all. Bluey does respect everyone and it’s better for it.
There are a lot of beautiful and emotional scenes. The one that always make me tear up is Babyrace. I know Babyrace is more for parents who feel they are not doing enough, but as someone who just feels like they're constantly failing just in life, to to see a cartoon dog look at the camera (as if they're talking to me) and say "You're doing great", it broke my heart but really was something I needed to hear.
not me crying just watching this
Bluey is a show that touches us all with emotions and nostalgia of wonderful memories.
I have never watched Bluey, with this video being my first exposure and I’m crying like crazy, so I don’t know if I can handle a full episode. This show is clearly powerful for children and adults alike. Thanks for making this video ❤
That’s so awesome to hear!! I really do hope you check out the show, thanks for the kind words buddy 💙
Living as a hobo with three pups the two you get ones actually watch bluey with me . I think this shoulf be a all ages show . It can handle almost any topic and not over due it to the point of cringe . As long as the don't show anything sexual with kids then it will always be my favorite show to watch everyday .... Actually..... It's the only show I watch
One of my favorite episodes is Rain. I don't think I've seen a more beautiful piece of art
Absolutely agreed, rain is such an amazing episode, really love the uniqueness they put into the episode
i was getting chills throught the whole video and i just started watching Bluey last week. I CANT EVEN BINGE WATCH IT WITHOUT HAVING SHIVERS MAN, THE FEELS.
I was crying from just the short clips
The damn montage in the beginning of this video made me cry!! Well done
Most of the time I’m not actually crying about the actually sad parts. I’m just crying because of how dang cute characters like bingo and Pom Pom are.
The music alone makes me cry.
I decided to watch Sleepytime and Baby Race back to back... no I am not okay
This show is so good that, even though I’ve watched all these episodes and this is just a video essay, I still tear just from watching each scene.
Thanks for making this video!
From someone who grew up with some serious childhood trauma, this show - kind of hits that part of the inner child who wished they would have been loved, treated, and cared for in this matter. Watching Bluey is bittersweet, almost like healing, grief, and at the same time general like optimism.
1:35 That’s AJR next up forever! I love that song!
11:49 he said, as I began crying
How am I supposed to watch this video if you make me cry within the first 3 minutes
Haha mission accomplished, I’m happy I was able to convey the feelings properly from the show to essay form. I appreciate you telling me that buddy :)
My favorite episode is the army one, Jack and Rusty friendship is so wholesome, I smile everytime I see these two together in other episodes (like the helicopter one)
I totally agree, they are my favorite pair in the show as well. They’re just so amazing together
This is superb - thank you for these highlights. Need to rewatch w this new sense of taking it in alongside little one.
The one w letting the younger sibling help in the kitchen no matter the mess it causes the mom, establishing the understanding task will be complete regardless the fun mess along the way
Thank you very much buddy. I actually just watched that episode and it was super fun to watch, it was amazing seeing bandit being hangry
I've seen another video that Mercury in Sleepytime represented Chilli's miscarriage. It's the closest planet to the sun, and remained unhatched.
I love that theory because it’s very touching, I personally always think that since it’s from bingo’s perspective that she might not know that so it’s hard to fully grasp the idea but I do like it never the less as a subtle nod from the animators
Bluey reminds me of those shows id watch as a child that are rarely shown nowadays and its incorporated messages and themes gave me nostalgia of those times and experiences
The episode that hit me the most was “the dump” from season one. I’m an artist and seeing how disappointed bluey was when she saw bandit was throwing away old drawings she made hit me extremely hard. The episode had a good conclusion but still
Favorite part though was Bingo defending her older sis, touches my heart even though it was hurtful of Bandit.
Whenever I see the chili and her dad scene, I who is not a father, can’t help but feel the emotions of her father and how it will feel when I (hopefully) become a father. Always gets me.
