There’s a 28min special of Bluey gone live this morning on Disney+ and omg it is everything! I think Bluey may have now overtaken Ben and Hollys Little Kingdom as my (and DD4) favourite show!

Not got Disney + or whatever. But why are
They moving if they don't actually want too?

For Bandit’s job. That’s life sometimes! 😢

My 4yo cried because the didn't move house and she was disappointed about that 🤣

My 5 year old didn't understand. When it finished she was cross because we didn't get to see their new house. She's totally Bingo! 😆

There's a final episode coming out apparently - normal length one - called Surprise!

This is exactly how I felt, like the message was 'off'. And like pp said, the poor fucker above them in the chain!

The programme's distinguishing feature is that it deals with 'real life' sensitively and shows that sometimes things don't work out as we planned and that's ok, making it stand out from other kids tv shows. This made it feel much less unique as everything was tied up in a bow.

Show quote history

But things didn't really turn out as planned did they, as they didn't move, which was the plan.

Also Bluey did come to terms with moving, even if she wasn't happy about it, she accepted it was going to happen and she then in turn did what she could to help Bingo when she finally realised what was happening and got upset.

Love Bluey but didn't like this episode .
Maybe it's because I'm selling a house but nah didn't get it .

I love Bluey! Unfortunately DS1 thinks it's a load of crap.

DS2 is just starting to care about getting a choice in screen time and I'm quietly optimistic that he will have better taste.

Ah I liked it!
The message I got was family first. You can move for more money, but that often also comes with longer hours or more stress. I felt like they chose each other by staying.

Ah - there was article in the Guardian about the episode, which describes it as a missed opportunity to help children to navigate change:
