The 'Hood: Royal Pudding & He's A Bit Of An Animal

Royal Pudding

It's Izzy's birthday, and she pretends to be the birthday queen. The party guests each bring her a present as her loyal servants, and they all wait for the 'Royal Pudding' (Izzy's birthday cake)...but the birthday queen imagines swimming in it with her friends, and eating it too!

He's A Bit Of An Animal

The gang become convinced that Dad and Alston are unleashing their wild side, so they get Andy, Dana and Steve to whip them into shape...but it turns them into reckless, endangered, wild animals! Dad becomes a hippo and Alston becomes a parrot. Bluey, Bingo and Resus must work together to turn their dads back into regular people again.

Bluey/The 'Hood #1 (Morning)

The Night Guardian

While on a backyard campout, the gang hear of the legendary Night Guardian, a figure who bids the world's children goodnight, lives in the rainforest and lives on a healthy, balanced diet of fruit. They set out into the neighbourhood to find the figure, but a mysterious shadowy shapes scares them into the Big Toy House, where Pepi Nana and her toy house friends try to console them.

Gay Marriage

Izzy sees Ethan kissing Chris in the playground, and tells Aunt Corey and Uncle Bob about it. Furious, they ground the boys, and the gang believe it was their fault, but it actually taught them a lesson about the trials of same-sex relationships.

Morning Lie-In

A quiet episode showcasing nothing but everyone in the neighbourhood enjoying a morning lie in on the weekend.

It's Dennis Time - Beano 1994 Ad

My New Favourite Boomerang Show

Well, I have this to confirm: Scooby Doo & Guess Who is my new favourite show on Boomerang. Why? Because of the chase scene I saw - the Scooby Gang wore snorkels, rode a speedboat, fought off a crocodile monster as ninjas AND were chased by rats and a snouted mummy! Also, it has proper, beautiful animation - the sort of animated style I want to include in some of my works.

When Bluey's Episode 'The Creek' Comes On & You Are Reminded Of The Song That Plays In The 'Hood Episode 'Soothing Naturals'

In 'Soothing Naturals', the gang explore the Australian rainforest to look for a new place to swim which Izzy has found. Along the way, they learn to be calm to and respect nature, feeling how soothing and gentle it is to beings like them.

The 'Hood Teaser/Episode Schedule

Coming this July....

Introducing The 'Hood! 7-year-old Izzy is just your regular Aussie girl - except she lives in an extraordinary neighbourhood filled with favourite ABC Kids and ABC Me characters! With her best friends Mitchell, Becky, Templeton, Luke, Resus, Cleo, Tiny, Small, Bluey and Bingo, she navigates the trials of growing up as a kid in Australia and celebrates the joy of play and freedom. With its joyous reggae score, The 'Hood is exactly the kind of place Aussie kids would think up when they want to play imaginary games with their favourite ABC Me and ABC Kids characters.

This week's episodes are:

Joking Around

With Lucky's help, the gang go around the neighbourhood to see how their friends and neighbours crack wise.

Pinot Grigio

The gang get thinking about what's good to drink and what's not, and try to suspect why Small acts like something has spiked his soup...

The Balloon

On a playdate, the gang use their circus balloons to show the neighbourhood the value of kindness and tolerance.

Robots, Milk & Cookies

The gang find out from their neighbours that robots love ketchup, rain, radios and kites, but one big question plagues their mind: are robots powered by milk and cookies?

Cool Shade

The gang play in the shade of their favourite tree, gaze up at cloud shapes and try cloud jumping with their sky-dwelling neighbours.

Lazy Weekend

The gang spend the weekend at Izzy's house, being lazy and doing nothing.

Waiting For Lunch

At the annual Bring-Something-Barbecue, the kids marvel at the different foods brought along and imagine a large feast just for them, until lunch arrives.

Head to my blog tomorrow, Australians, for more Aussie native fun!

My Diary - 13th-19th July

13th July

Youtuber Mr. Edward's Fat Controller film seems to remind me of Factory, and of Strange Hill High too.

14th July

In 'Super Cats', the kittens rip off shows like My Friends Tigger & Pooh and PJ Masks by becoming heroes.

15th July

My fondness of ABC Kids, ABC Me and reggae has inspired me to do the Australian I.B.F.Fs - The 'Hood.

16th July

The Kid-E-Cats episode 'Kid-E-Kites' has inspired me to think of a cover of the Curious George song 'Jungle Gym' by Asheba for the The 'Hood episode 'Summer Fete'.

17th July

Due to circumstances beyond our control, I won't be working on Me, You, And Transformers Armada next week.

18th July

With the surprise on its way, my mind was filled with names of musical Teletubbies episodes: Good Morning, Handy Hands, Wake Up and Little Baby.

19th July

South Park, reggae, Aussie TV...I finally understand my purpose for 2020: works themed around Australian culture and folklore.

Sausage Rolls & Videos I Saw At Grandma's Today

Whenever I eat sausage rolls at Grandma's, I just want to put that Very Special Caillou thing on. It's where Caillou eats pizza and gets a heart attack, and then it's all revealed to be one of Daddy's dreams. It really puts you in the mood for eating ASDA sausage rolls!

"Spot's trying to get into his toybox. He's only little, but he's growing up."

The 'Hood: Some Guys Have All The Luck & Bluey's Zoo

Today's Bluey episodes on ABC Kids in Australia are Bus and Asparagus, and their alternate names are the names of these following The 'Hood episodes:

Some Guys Have All The Luck:

Izzy starts to feel a little closer to Luke, and as they develop feelings for one another, the rest of the gang try to realize what happens when a girl Izzy's age falls in love.

Bluey's Zoo:

Inspired by Bluey and Bingo's toy animals, the gang decide to turn themselves into a zoo: Izzy becomes a dolphin, Mitchell becomes a lion, Becky becomes a chimpanzee, Templeton becomes a cow, Luke is a wolf (obviously), Resus is a goat, Cleo is a cat, Tiny and Small are elephants and Bingo a mouse. They have to swap roles whenever Bluey shouts "Shamdoodle!" but then they all get mixed up!

The 'Hood DVDs

The 'Hood DVDs will be released in Australia, in the UK and all over the world. They'll be just like the Bluey DVDs - they have the same amount of episodes as in each Australian Bluey DVD and each has a Bluey episode or two as a bonus feature. In Australian releases, the DVDs include other features too, such as games, tips for parents and other content such as music videos and bonus episodes of other shows like Play School: Stop, Look, Listen.

2020 - The Call Of The Outback

It's all been revealed now - through the beginning of 2020, something has been calling me. Through Bluey and Transformers Cybertron, I have now found my purpose: until November, I'll do works themed around Australian culture and folklore. They include Me, You, And Transformers Cybertron and The 'Hood, my TV series for ABC Kids and ABC Me - and most possibly the ABC network. I hear your call, Australia, and now I'm answering it!
