Bluey fans from all over the world (and of all ages) can rejoice, as Disney has announced that they are releasing a second batch of mini-episodes this fall. An extremely animated show beloved by both children and adults, Bluey is assuredly getting a fourth season at some point in the future. Until then, fans can look forward to more Bluey sooner rather than later, albeit in much smaller bites.
Disney announced a new block of mini-episodes for Bluey and revealed the titles and plot descriptions for each one. The seven episodes release on Disney+ starting October 7 at 12 a.m. PT. The main theme of the upcoming episodes is that each one is centered around supporting characters and occurrences within the Bluey world. A third batch will arrive at some point after, presumably at the end of the year or near the start of 2025. The new Bluey episodes and their titles:
- “Tattoo Shop” — Dad visits the ‘tattoo shop’ where the kids give him some ink. Dad wants skulls and snakes, so he can look tough. But when the time comes to look, it’s not quite what Dad envisaged.
- “Phoney” — After a big day, everyone wants to sit back and listen to some relaxing music except Unicorse, who keeps getting ‘Phoney’ to change the tune.
- “Blocks” — When it’s time to go, Bluey and Bingo ask Nana to keep their tower from falling until they come back. Nana and Bob try to live in their smallish unit without knocking it over.
- “Government” — Dad is using Bingo’s back as a typewriter to type a letter to the government demanding they do something about his errant children.
- “Drums” — Bingo is in the music shop with Mum when she discovers an electronic drum kit and some headphones.
- “Browny Bear” — Someone keeps tapping people on the shoulder and then vanishing, it’s very annoying! Mum enlists PI Browny Bear to investigate.
- “Whirlpool” — The kids make a whirlpool in the paddling pool and then jump into the swirling current.
A clip from the upcoming episode titled “Blocked” was also unveiled by Disney, which features Nana being tasked with keeping Bluey’s block tower intact. It’s pretty safe to say that this will not be an easy task, of course. Check out the clip below:
Bluey is a Kids TV Show That Adults Enjoy Too
It’s no secret that Bluey is an animated series meant for kids, but adults have come around to highly enjoy it too. During an interview with NPR, Bluey creator Joe Brumm discussed the creation of the hit TV series, as well as the intention of telling stories adults can watch along with their kids, without it feeling like a hassle.
“It’s talking dogs. I’m not the first to do talking dogs, and I’m sure I won’t be the last. But I guess it’s more in the execution and what the stories ended up being about and how it really focused on play. I think that was fairly unique. Beyond dogs and stuff like that, I really just wanted to show that parents would enjoy watching with their kids rather than you just sort of tolerate it. Because I thought that that must be a really great experience for a young kid, you know, a 4-year-old, a 5-year-old, to be sitting on a couch laughing together with their parents at their favorite show.”
Simply put, the concept of Bluey simply lends itself to being a show for people of all ages. For kids, the lovable puppy dog and his antics could not be more entertaining, as well as heartwarming. Bluey, along with his little sister, Bingo, are a duo kids can latch onto and relate with. Meanwhile, parents can find enjoyment in the more subtle themes of the show, not immediately recognized by children. Moreover, Bluey is not a series that features an obnoxious amount of music, sounds, and an over-the-top tone. It’s not an attack on the senses for adults, but a heartwarming and light affair that is a breeze to sit through and not a chore to finish.
