The inspiration for Bluey is primarily observational, Brumm explains. In that respect, Bandit's approach to parenting simply reflects the animator's own experience and that of his circle of brothers and mates. “He's like every sort of caring dad these days,” Brumm says.
You don't want your children to learn new coping skills.
Bluey and Bingo are about 4 and 6 years old. This means that they are discussing some new and difficult feelings. For example, in one episode, Bingo doesn't know how to explain that the family is playing too rough.
With Bluey, parents enjoy the show for their children but also because they flat out find it amusing as a parent. In Bluey, we see adult content, like having a hangover or the need for some simple date night hanky-panky away from the children, and other such scenarios come into play in almost every episode.
Viewers will fall in love with this family and show. The show isn't faith based, but the combination of a great loving family and the common problems that we all face gives this show a charm that makes kids and adults want to watch and rewatch it. The character lessons are solid and faith appropriate.
They're loving, doting, and playful, and every episode highlights their empathy and parenting skills. They always figure out how to engage with their kids through immersive games of pretend.
This isn't the first time Bluey has featured a character with disability. Jack, one of Bluey's school mates, is portrayed as having attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Kids TV show Bluey has been applauded by parents for tackling the issue around dads who find it hard to share their emotions.
The ABC has removed part of a Bluey episode that sparked accusations of fat-shaming and fatphobia. It has now republished a version of the popular cartoon without a bathroom scene that showed Bluey's parents complaining about their weight.
Gratitude for what you have is key to life contentment. But the episode also highlights the importance of encouraging those around you - whether your family, friends or at work. Bingo feels down when she says something wrong, and Bluey sets out on a mission to encourage and lift her up.
Bluey, unlike most television shows produced for young children, uniquely focuses on the entire family dynamic. Viewers get to see not only how Bluey and Bingo learn age-appropriate lessons through play but also how Bandit and Chili handle situations as parents.
The show has grown so popular, Disney will release later this year an episode, unedited, that it banned because of jokes about flatulence. The company had to give audiences a chance to acclimate to the Bluey characters and the show's sense of humor, before putting it on its streaming service.
He is the first known character to be neurodivergent, in his case he has ADHD. In Explorers, it is revealed that Jack and his family are from Victoria. This can be shown on the number plate shown on his family's car.
What was censored and why? A fairly wholesome and hilarious episode, this episode and two others from the first season, “Shaun” and “Teasing,” along with “Flat Pack” from Season 2 were censored due to the use of a racially-insensitive term that could refer to Aboriginal people.
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.
There's no sex or violence—but there's only so many times they want their children to watch their counterparts on screen ignore, insult, or pretend to humor their parents for laughs.”
Dad is an archaeologist (he loves to dig up bones). As the devoted, yet tired father, he does his best to use whatever energy is left after interrupted sleep, work and household chores, to invent and play games with his two girls.
Bluey has upbeat music and lots of laughs, but the slower paced story line and soft-spoken characters make it a non-stimulating show that is great for all ages.
Bandit Heeler / Dad (voiced by David McCormack), the Blue Heeler father of Bluey and Bingo who is an archaeologist. Chilli Heeler / Mum (voiced by Melanie Zanetti), the Red Heeler mother of Bluey and Bingo who works part-time in airport security.
The episode was apparently censored by Disney because it included an open discussion of farting.
The theory has been circling fan circuits since the show's first season when Bingo was mysteriously admitted to the hospital in 'Bumpy and the Wise Old Wolfhound' without an explanation. Many believe the reason behind the little pup's hospital visit is Bingo suffering from Celiac disease or a strong gluten intolerance.
Chilli Heeler had a miscarriage. The mom from the incredibly popular kids TV show “Bluey” lost a pregnancy. We don't know when, if it happened before or after Bluey or Bingo or how far along she was in the pregnancy. But we know now.
Some people theorized this was a genetic trait, but some theorized that Socks was autistic. Despite Bluey having a crib in Baby Race, Socks had a dog bed in Verandah Santa. This may indicate that this happens often. It is possible that Socks was going through a phase where she acted like a dog.
Bluey has ADHD. And she cannot focus long enough on a task to be able to play a game with her family.
