Bluey Season 3 has just landed on Disney+, and guess what? I love it! I've never seen such a series before, so it might be a good time to talk about the episodes. My highlights in particular. First, there's Bedroom. I like the montages of Bluey and Bingo sorting out their bedrooms, having dinner and taking a bath before bed, with Bluey blowing bubbles and Bingo being shampooed. Adorable! Next, there's Curry Quest. I love the ending montage of Bluey, Bingo and Chilli spending the six weeks without Bandit, having dinner and video calling him, and the school fair with Mackenzie's mum face-painting other kids. Pass The Parcel is my favourite, every birthday party is colourful and unique.
Chucky - Fun Centre
Lila - Park
Jasper - Soft Play
Buddy - Water Park
Pom Pom - Her House
Muffin - Stables
Missy - Pool
Rain is an absolute favourite of mine. When you sync it to Little Big Town's 'Stay' it creates beautiful combinations of Bluey's dialogue-free rainy day adventure and the emotional vocals of Little Big Town to create something only I could bring to life, much like what I did for Zenimation and Star Wars Galaxy Of Sounds. As for Tina, she is never shown in the flesh, but I can describe her as a white dog with orange ears and red, blue and yellow patches all over her body. Explorers sees everyone at school going home - I could see Calypso talking with parents about their childrens' progress, and when it is Coco's turn to go home, I could see one of Coco's big siblings texting on her phone. When I saw Whale Watching, I imagined me, Luke, Resus, Cleo, Bluey and Bingo playing and splashing in the open sea, swimming with whales and getting in touch with our natural instincts. Faceytalk shows a full screen view of video boxes with Bluey, Bingo, Muffin and Socks each talking, ala the Elmo's Playdate special, but I have one theory for this: this episode may be set during the Coronavirus pandemic, and while the Heelers are staying safe, they are video calling Muffin and Socks so they could get in touch with them. There's a Bluey handwashing song online if you want the full print out. Ragdoll had the weirdest sequence that was my favourite part of the episode - when Bluey tastes Splice ice cream, she has this trippy vision of sliding down a slide of green liquid, splashing down into green water and stepping on orange-yellow floaties in a world with green waterfalls. I know, it sounds like I made it up, but it's sadly true. As for Fairytale, I loved all the bits where Bandit hung out with his brothers Stripe and Rad in the '80s - playing arcade games with Stripe, having fish and chips, eating mini cereal, and all those flashbacks about drinking apple juice, playing video games and riding bikes...wow. All that nostalgia crammed into seven minutes.
This is the best series I've ever seen on Disney+ in my entire life! If I wrote Bluey, it would become a best selling book series, but no, Joe Brumm had to make it first. Good luck, Joe. Keep making new episodes!
