CBBC's new show from Australia is depressing as hell! It made me think about all the confusion and tragedy it brought to viewers at home, and adult situations that might be put into the series, such as Hannah holding a gun and drinking juice as if it were beer. If there were a parody series on Youtube, Hannah would be dubbed over with a deep black man's voice similar to Berleezy, a Youtuber who exposes kids' shows like Caillou. But Aussies, if you have seen and have been depressed by the themes and tone of the show, here's something that might cheer you up on ABC iView. In fact, it cheers everyone up, because it is the happiest show in Australia: Bluey!

Dog Loves The Aristocats
Isn't it strange how Dog Loves Art and today's Dog Loves Books episode, Dog Loves Cheshire Cat, remind me of The Aristocats? I like to compare it with Oliver & Company and The Jungle Book if I have the chance.
3 Things That Made It The Best Day Ever Yesterday
1.Dog Loves Bedtime Baboon. I love this episode so much, beside Dog Loves Calm and Dog Loves Drawing. Based on classic tales of mythical figures who watch over children as they sleep at night like The Sandman and Bedtime Bear, Dog and Pug try to help a magical baboon with bedtime duties, sprinkling dust on children to help them sleep. I thought up a relative and a friend for Bedtime Baboon as a result - her cousin Matilda, who is the creator of all the world's bedtime stories, and her best friend Edgar Bunny, who is a film director and directs all the childrens' dreams with his ice cream coloured rabbit companions Coco, Strawberry and Vanilla. The lullaby sequence, with camels, penguins, monkeys and children across the world falling asleep, reminds me of 'Once Upon A Time' from Nick Lachey's Fisher-Price album 'A Father's Lullaby'. I want to listen to it right now...plus, bedtime will never be the same again with this episode of Dog Loves Books.
2.Scream Street - Wolfgang. Luke seems like he's spending little time with his friends in this episode of Scream Street, but I don't mind - Luke always knows how to escape a ghost's clutches. Bad news: Little Big Awesome aired after this. I escaped this mess by watching a recorded episode of South Park, and I kept this sound message in my head: Googleberry Muffins! Make Way For Noddy, anyone?
3.Aloha Scooby Doo. It appropriately aired this month, as Summer is approaching. It truly gives you an essence of Summer with its tropic island setting and had me playing Maori and Hawaiian music, giving me a Lilo & Stitch vibe. This film was released the same year as Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has A Glitch - 2005 - so it was highly appropriate for this time, as this month this film aired as part of Boomerang's 'Tom & Jerry & Scooby Doo Summer'. It also gave me inspiration for a few storylines in I.B.F.F Diaries, like in Part 7 of I.B.F.F Diaries '15 when Mitchell, Becky, Templeton, Tiny, Small, me, Scooby, Shaggy, Daphne, Velma, Fred, Ricky, Pickle, Merl and Gull go to the beach and get swept up on a desert island by a giant wave, and in Part 10: Best Halloween Ever when the gang watch the film with Luke, Resus and Cleo and indulge in a musical fantasy, singing 'The Old Hawaiian Way' as they enjoy a tropic island holiday, until Naomi yells and fantasy ends, and the gang need to hide Luke and his friends quickly. This film gave me the same vibes as Dumping Ground Island, but there is a difference: while Aloha Scooby Doo is animated and set on an island where the Mystery Inc gang are having a holiday, Dumping Ground island is a fantasy had by Tyler after everyone in the DG yells at him. I.B.F.F Diaries is a mix of animation and live-action and puppetry, so it's no big deal to an all-age-appeal film from an all-age-appeal director who watches all-age-appeal shows. Scooby-Dooby-Hana!
