It’s strange what your grandkids get you into, isn’t it?
A few weeks ago, I’d never heard of ‘Bluey’, a kid’s cartoon series from Ludo Studios in Queensland, Australia and written and conceived by Joe Brumm.
My grandson, aged four, loves coming home and chilling after a hard day at school and has fallen in love with Bluey. It’s great to hear him howl with laughter, when he gets the joke.
This episode is called ‘Mini Bluey’, which my son raves about because in his words it “deconstructs the narrative and the whole show”. My problem is that after watching it for an hour or so, I begin to sound like the Dad! Dad is known to the kids, when they’re being cheeky, as “big fella”.
Each story has a very clever concept and deliciously written. When Bluey and her sister Bingo try new food, it’s fun to see my grandson try new things, which if offered at home, would be rejected with the eternal “yuck, I don’t like that”.
Watch this episode, I’m sure you’ll see what I mean, but be careful, it’s addictive stuff.

I appreciated the point that this article made about Nimona having once been canceled. It's crazy to think about the projects that could have made an impact if given the opportunity.
