Chilli on the hunt in Bluey

It’s no secret that Bluey has one of the biggest fan followings on the planet, and she has quite a sterling reputation with viewers of all ages. However, some cheeky dogs completely ransacked her social media profiles this week.

A colorful collage features characters from the animated show "Bluey." Central text reads "Bluey Minisodes" with "Mini" in red. Characters include Bluey, a blue dog; Bingo, a brown one; and others like a gray dog and a colorful owl. Pastel backgrounds set the scene for these Disney+ mini adventures.

If you are anything like this writer, you were up at the crack of dawn to catch the premier of the first seven minisodes of Bluey’s new miniseries. Although it’s reassuring to know that Bluey, Bingo, and the rest of the Heeler clan are back in action, someone with access to the show’s official page decided to do a little graffiti.

At first glance, the official character page from the beloved animated series seems untouched and unmarred. Users who click on one of the Heeler brothers’ bios are treated to the following images provided by u/Ill_Housing_6487 below.

Did Bluey Just Get Botched?

It seems that Dad got into the crayons again, as the profiles for Bandit, Stripe, and Rad have all been replaced by hastily drawn portraits with more than a few gratuitous grammatical errors. In the words of Bluey’s Nana, someone’s “not a good spellah.”

Of course, this creative piece of advertising comes after the minisode “Letter” aired on Disney+ and Disney Junior. The episode gives viewers a peek into Bandit’s past, as seen in a letter written about his family when he was five (or “fiv”), similar to how “Dragon” provided a doodle-inspired flashback.

While some might need a translator to view the page, it’s an adorable detail that proves just how committed Bluey creator Joe Brumm and the rest of the team at Ludo Studio are to crafting their world. It’s also not the first time this has happened either.

Sticking to the Bit

Dedicated Bluey buffs who have been with the series a long while know that “The Sign” had a tremendous effect on the series as a whole. In response to the episode, the whole cast page was redesigned to feature the entire family in their wedding attire

While the 28-minute-long special undoubtedly dwarfs the minisode, fans are no doubt delighted by Ludo’s commitment to keeping the gags running while they wait for the next batch of episodes. All three seasons of Bluey and the new minisodes can be watched at viewers’ leisure on Disney+.
