Production

Development

In July 2017, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the British Broadcasting Corporation co-commissioned Bluey as an animated series for preschool children to be developed by Queensland production company Ludo Studio.[2][3] The production received funding from Screen Australia, with the setting of the series drawing upon the unique semi-tropical Queensland climate.[2] Created by Joe Brumm, the series was inspired by his experience in raising two daughters. Brumm wanted to portray the importance of children participating in imaginative play, creating the title character Bluey as a Cattle Dog to give the series an Australian voice.[2] Brumm had previously worked in the United Kingdom on programs such as Peppa Pig and decided to create Bluey as a replica of the program for an Australian audience.[4] He conceived the idea independently in 2016 and approached Ludo Studio to develop it.[5] The series was pitched at the Asian Animation Summit in 2016, and was noticed by ABC and BBC executives for having the unique tone that they was searching for.[6] The two networks ordered 52 seven-minute episodes, with BBC investing 30% of the funding and acquiring the global rights for distribution and merchandising.[2][4] The series was produced entirely in Australia by a local team, many of whom were first-time animators from Brisbane.[4] The program was announced to premiere in Australia on ABC Kids, followed by a British premiere on CBeebies.[2][3]

The first series premiered in Australia on ABC Kids on 1 October 2018, with 26 episodes airing daily throughout October.[1] The remaining 26 episodes of the series began airing on 1 April 2019.[7]

It was announced in March 2019 that production had begun on a second series of 52 episodes.[4] The series order was officially announced in May, with an anticipated premiere date of 2020.[8]

In June 2019, Bluey was acquired by Disney to make its international premiere on the Disney Junior television network and Disney+ streaming service, in all international territories from late 2019.[9][10][11]

Writing

The stories featured in Bluey depict Bluey and Bingo engaging in imaginative play.[1] Brumm wanted to show that self-directed and unstructured play is natural in shaping children and allowing them to develop.[1] The episodes show the parents as guides for their children, who allow them to explore their immediate surroundings independently, giving them opportunities to "practise adult roles".[1] Brumm drew inspiration from watching his two children play, which he described was "as natural to them as breathing", and stated that the messages of Bluey are universal.[3] He stated that his everyday occurrences provide him with ideas for scripts.[4] The program's scripts show how children can use gameplay to learn lessons and integrate the world of adults into their own.[12] Brumm stated that he discovered the importance of play-based learning after his daughter struggled with formal education, which led him to exclude elements of literacy and numeracy in Bluey and focus on the depiction of life skills.[4] The program was designed to be a co-viewing experience for parents and their children to enjoy together.[4][5]

Critical reception

Bluey has enjoyed a positive reception, with producers stating that the studio has received daily fan mail from parents of young viewers.[6] The series was praised by Philippa Chandler of The Guardian for its "sharp script" and depiction of everyday family life, while noting that its Queensland background set it aside from other cartoons on television.[6]

The series received praise for its depiction of Bandit Heeler as a positive father figure.[5] The character was commended for his patient nature, willingness to do housework and play with his children.[5] Bandit has been described as "more emotionally intelligent" than the father from Peppa Pig.[6] Brumm stated that the series has reminded fathers "to be more playful with their kids".[5] Chandler noted the "unexpected poignancy" of the episode "Takeaway", in which Bandit makes an observation about the fleeting nature of childhood.[6]
