Hi, this is Joe Brumm, the creator of Bluey.

I’m writing this to share some Bluey news – some good, some trifficult.

Let’s start with the good – after some time spent away from the series, working on another project, an old idea resurfaced and before I knew it, I’d written a Bluey feature script that I really love. Fast forward through a tonne of contracting and we’re about to embark on making an animated Bluey movie!

Now, for the trifficult. I always said I wouldn’t keep making the show if I thought I couldn’t make any new season as good as the last. This would have been the case for me with a potential season four, so I’ve decided to take a break from my involvement in the TV series. In the event I can’t wrap my head around doing more seasons myself, The Sign will mark my TV finale for Bluey and I wrote it as such.

Bluey has completely changed my life. It’s been an immensely satisfying thing to be a part of, more than I can really put into words. To walk away from it while it’s at such a height will seem crazy to some but, for now, I am finding it difficult to reach back genuinely into that four to six year old world and write authentically.

My Bluey crew and all the creative people in my life completely understand my decision. Working with that wonderful group of people has been the absolute highlight of my animation career and I hope Bluey on their CV is a badge of pride for them.

To be clear, this is not an announcement about the end of the show, but it is an acknowledgment that my focus will be on the film.

Thank you for taking this show into your homes, the whole experience has been an impossible experience to describe.

Transcription: a series of panels showing a blue cartoon child dog (named Bluey) fighting using an egg beater with an older orange dog (named Chilli), using a pot lid. The dialogue reads:

Bluey: You are using Bonetti's Defense [sic] against me, eh?

Chilli: I thought it fitting considering the rocky terrain.

Bluey: Naturally, you must expect me to attack with Capo Ferro?

Chilli: Naturally, but I find that Thibault cancels out Capo Ferro. Don't you?

Bluey: Unless the enemy has studied his Agrippa... which I have!

I just sort of assume everyone has watched the episode by now. If you haven't, I recommend doing so before you get to the end of this article.

Disclaimer: do not go looking for more from the artist with your children around. Most of the artist's other work would probably be M rated, or at least the upper end of PG.

Image transcription:

A picture of a number of cartoon dogs from the children's cartoon TV series Bluey sitting around a table. The dogs are holding poker cards in their hand, and the table has piles of poker chips on it. There is a large painting of sailboats in the background, and a grandfather click displaying the time 5 pm. Overhead is a light with a red angular lampshade, illuminating the table.

It is a spoof of A Friend in Need, a 1903 painting by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge.

A 28 minute Bluey episode is coming. For now, we must content ourselves with a teaser trailer.

Another episode of Bluey that Disney decided was too inappropriate for the kids of the USA.

It's probably the Dim Sims. Eating them cold straight out of the fridge just isn't acceptable.

....this exact scene played out with my kids over the weekend. hah

Get your pitchforks out right now!

😡🔱

Dwagon, unleash youw fiwey fuweeeee

No words. Pure art. Just beautiful ❤️

Not sure how I feel about this one. I happen to like the replacement opening better, but I disliked the precedent of changing the stories in response to a few complaints. I don't think there is anything wrong with this deleted scene.

For some reason, Disney cut this scene for the US market. I have no idea why, it's hilarious!

I actually love this whole episode, it teaches kids how a single $20 note can be used again and again generating wealth and stimilating an economy. It's a microcosm of how money works in our society.

Highlights:

Bandit: This is great! We get the house cleaned and the kids learn a lesson. Chilli: Neither of those things are happening.

Bandit: Magic Claw has not children. His days are free and easy.

What a great way it would be to start the day!
