StandardBlueyepisodes are already notably short, typically running between six and eight minutes without credits.

Motivation for their existence aside, the minisodes as a group are both intriguing and suggestive.

or hmm?, and throwing in very short bits of supplemental dialogue.

20.Animals

20.

Two of the minisodes are essentially the same concept of a game expressed in slightly different ways.

19.Phoney

19.

Eventually, Bluey and Bingo wrestle Unicorse to the ground and demand he accede to Chillis desires.

18.Whirlpool

18.

17.Wheres Bingo?

Bandit wanders around looking for Bingo, who rides on his back.

He pretends not to hear her giggling and squealing.

Not much else going on.

16.Government

16.

15.Robo Bingo

15.

But it still feels a touch repetitive within the minisode itself because of how short these things run.

14.Strong Potion

14.

13.Hungry

13.

12.Goldilocks

12.

(Focusing on the bear-ness versus the Heeler family does have some uncomfortable implications for this series more broadly.

Was Goldilocks a human or was she a Bluey-style dog?

And is Bandit then suggesting that the Heelers, like the bears, should also revert to dogginess?

Another one-minute episode, but it uses its time to better advantage.

(I ride my skatboard on the drivway after skol.)

7.Burger Dog

On the one hand, Burger Dog is a cursed three minutes.

(Chilli eventually proves the phone is still fine.)

On the other hand, my entire family has been singing Burger Dog for months.

Our family group chat has been renamed Fluffy bun with some sesame seeds.

IfBlueyreleases Burger Dog as a single, I will have to move to the woods.

It would be foolish to argue thats not a success.

6.Drums

6.

5.Browny Bear

5.

Like many of the minisodes, Browny Bear is largely a flight of Bandits fancy.

4.Butlers

4.

As with Escape, the joy of Butlers is in the details.

The doorbell is a little jingle that sings Ding dong, Bluey and Bingo, they are the best!

The buttons that dispense bubble tea accurately reflect the current elementary-school bubble-tea craze.

3.Alongside

3.

The entire thing plays in split screen.

On one side, its a day in Blueys life, from waking up through bedtime.

On the other side, its the same day as experienced by Blueys friend Honey.

They have different personalities, and they haveverydifferent parents.

Both of these kids are learning and growing.

2.Muffin Unboxing

2.

Its notBlueyif no ones moved to tears, and Blocks is the minisode most likely to drive that home.
