“Bluey” Minisodes (First 7 Minisodes) | Wednesday, July 3
Internationally beloved “Bluey” is getting a large collection of minisodes, and the first of the three batches will arrive during the first week of July. The one-to-three-minute shorts written by creator Joe Brumm will all highlight various playful interactions and games between Bluey and Bingo. The second batch of episodes is expected to be released later this year, followed by the final batch in 2025, but the first seven episodes coming this month are:
- “Burger Dog” - The kids want to dance to some annoying music but Dad pretends his battery on his phone is flat until Mum phones him.
- “Bingo 3000” - Dad has bought a brand new “Bingo 3000” robot, but it’s not working, so he has to call technical support.
- “Muffin Unboxing” - Stripe is filming Muffin unboxing a dump truck toy, but Muffin is struggling to stay focused.
- “Letter” - Nana reads an old story that Bandit wrote from when he was five. The kids find this hilarious as Nana is reading out the words exactly as they are spelled.
- “Hungry” - Dad is hungry so he pretends to eat Bluey.
- “Three Pigs” - Dad retells the story of the three little pigs. In this version, the pigs and the wolf eventually become friends.
- “Animals” - Mum is playing the animal game on Bingo’s back. She pretends Bingo’s back is a big field, and various animals walk, jump, and dart across it, making Bingo laugh.
