What was censored and why? A scene where Bluey is playing “Penguins” in the bathroom was cut from the U.K. and the U.S., although it's still referenced in the episode. The cut scene has Bluey sliding around the room, something that could be dangerous for a kid to do on a wet tiled floor.
BRISBANE, Australia (TND) — An episode of the popular animated Australian television show "Bluey" has been edited prior to hitting the U.S. market after people started complaining that the episode's messaging about weight and exercise was harmful.
Well many viewers felt that the episode, titled "Exercise," exhibited fat shaming. In one scene, Bluey's dad Bandit steps on a bathroom scale then laments about his weight to Bluey's mom, Chilli, who had walked into the room with Bluey's sister.
An implied joke about testicles and vasectomies is acceptable, but poop, farts, and flogging a sports team are just too far. Out of the ten new Bluey episodes, two of them hit Disney+ with censorship in the form of altered dialogue.
Babies should not watch Bluey or any other programs before 2 years of age. This is in line with guidance from the World Health Organization. After this, up to 1 hour per day is permissible, though no screen time is preferred.
Bluey is relatable to children, even though he is a blue dog. He has a family, with siblings and extended family and friends often make appearances. The voices are all childlike, which makes it easier understood for children.
The episode was apparently censored by Disney because it included an open discussion of farting.
In the episode, Bluey's dad Bandit is accused of passing wind in front of his daughter. That was apparently considered inappropriate and didn't meet the streaming service's guidelines.
