Bluey Just Did Something Incredible...

It doesn't really come up in the show, but canonically Bandit is an archaeologist, and Chili works at airport security. In other words, Bandit digs up bones, and Chili is a drug-sniffing dog.

I feel like Bluey was made to be the type of show that the writers and creators wished they had growing up. Learning basic academics is all well and good, but there weren't many shows dealing with big topics that affect kids in everyday life.

the butterfly effect being demonstrated by an ACTUAL BUTTERFLY is so simple yet sooo effective and genius!! I hadn't even noticed all of these details so im reallly glad I clicked on this video

The fact that Bluey pulls off it's flash-backs and implied future scenarios with planned out deliberation and consistency better than modern Simpsons, which recently retconned Homer as having grown up in the 90's to relate him to the modern adult audience instead of maintaining his 60's childhood and 70's adolescence, speaks to the skill, integrity and passion the show's creators and their writers and artists have for animation and their audience demographic.

You forgot the detail that in season 2 episode 45 Helicopter, Winton not only mentions that his dad doesn’t live with his mum but also the fact that his dad has a pool.

What made me realized they stayed is Bingo graduating with her best friend she made in school.

The idea that dropping a single coin wrong saves how you live as a whole is crazy

Bro the moving part when bluey was sad was actually me. I was 10 in california when I met this kid a year later after moving there. He became my best friend. But after less than a month. I had to move. I wasn't as sad as I really could be, I was still prossessing that I had to move. I went to his house to play with him one last time. I took a picture with him and it was framed. I took the picture with me. I sat in my car. look at him. All of the sudden I got sad and then I was told that he was crying. Then my eyes started watering. I couldn't hang on to the fact that I wouldn't see him again, and that this was my last time seeing him. Years later, I still have the picture with me. Getting emotional everytime I see it. I haven't really heard from him in a while, but I hope he's okay.

Fun fact: the name of the episode during production was called “We’ll See”. The episode is also a test basically to see if people would accept a longer format such as a movie. I can’t wait for a movie!

Fun Fact: The Male member of that couple that was buying the Heelers' house is voiced by Brendan Williams, who runs a Bluey fan podcast.

When I watched this episode, I literally cried at the ending. I just graduated highschool and the theme of not knowing what is happening going forward has never felt more real for me. This episode really taught me something

i think i view bluey as the internet-equivalent to thomas the tank engine/the railway series; before the 2000s the series very much appealed to kids but also tackled adult themes and real life events like death, the decommissioning of steam engines, the loss of a family member, etc. with top-tier music, stellar presentation and great writing. it's such good stuff.

Bluey hooked me with one single clip, Jack having ADHD and his sibling being like, "Why can't you do what your told?!" and he just responds, "I don't know...." hit me like a truck like he wasn't angry or anything it was such a serious moment of confusion. Like god, having ADHD it's pretty much that for me with my friends. "You weren't paying attention were you?" in something like dungeons and dragon and i'm like, Sorry no I kinda zoned out a bit... and they just get a bit frustrated with me. Bluey is my comfort show for sure.

That last line hit me. My sister made fun of me for still watching cartoons at 10 years old, so I stopped. When I met my husband, I realized it was okay to enjoy cartoons. Now I'm 38 and loving Bluey more than any other show out there!

just FYI for anyone wondering about Bandit's/Chili's jobs at 4:55. Bandit is the Director of Archaeological Studies at the local University. (The university was never named, but we're assuming its the University of Queensland, since the Heeler's live in Brisbane, Australia) And Chili is the Chief of Security at the local airport (Again, airport is never named but we're assuming its Brisbane Int'l) According to google, the Average salary of a Education Director in Austrailia can range between 78k - 180k/yr, and the average salary of a Security Chief/Supervisor can range between 63k - 270k/yr. So on the low end, the heeler's household income is anywhere around 141k/yr. The median household income for a family of 4 in Brisbane is 1791/wk, or 87k~/yr So the heeler's are pretty well off, and they might be even more so if they are closer to the high end of the salary range in their respective fields.

10:03 you also forgot in the episode “helicopter” Winton mentioned that his house had a pool

The coin. Bluey's lucky coin in the wrong place which helped the couple planning on purchasing the Heeler household see another house that they would end up buying instead. + Without Bingo making Bandit late in that one episode she wouldn't be friends with Lila, and they wouldn't have helped the butterfly which led them to Frisky, therefore Bingo saved their home.

One other thing just from listening to this I noticed, they pointed out how 'pulling out the sign' means it isn't for sale anymore. That wouldn't have been true if they just pulled it out at the beginning of the episode regardless of their child logic, but Bandit pulling it out at the end ended up making it true, and that's kinda beautiful too cause it then instantly translated to both Chilly AND the kids that they where in fact staying, and not leaving. I think that's also really hecken cool.

3:49 as an Australian, the Chemist is simply a better word 😔

When I was 13 my family had to move across the country for my dads new job. How Bluey tackled the feeling of having to move out of a home you’ve been in for years, a city you’ve always been in, and a town full of everyone you know and love is exactly how it feels. The dread, the anxiety, the unknowing-ness is all exactly what everyone in my family felt when we had to move. I’m so glad that unlike us, they actually stayed where they were! I will be honest tho, moving here was one of the best thing that could have happened to me!
