Build-A-Bear Dropped BLUEY Collection, and It Already Sold Out
Movieguide® Contributor
Build-A-Bear just released a collection based on Australia’s hit kids show, BLUEY, and it sold out online in a day.
“The sold-out options — still available in-store at many locations — include Bluey herself, her little sister Bingo and talking versions of each character,” GMA reported Sept. 27.
“There are some options left to browse online, though, including the Happy Hugs Teddy with his adorable BLUEY ringer tee and Pawlette, a precious Bunny wearing the BLUEY crew on her onesie.”
“Fans can even add the iconic Bluey theme song and character phrases to their plush!” the BLUEY website announced.
The out-of-stock accessories include a Granny Janet costume and a Granny Rita costume. Fans can select to receive email notifications when the characters and their accessories are restocked.
Build-A-Bear is just the latest company to jump on the BLUEY toy bandwagon. Hasbro has already created a BLUEY Monopoly Jr. game, and TY agreed to allow BLUEY and her family to be made into Beanie Baby toys earlier this month.
Movieguide®’s review of the show’s first season reads:
BLUEY: Season One is a wonderfully animated children show with a high production value. BLUEY is entertaining not just for children, but also adults. The comedy is witty enough to get a good chuckle out of parents. Even better, the program has strong family morals and lessons that both children and adults can learn. It has a positive depiction of Bluey’s relationship with her sister, mother and father. There are also common themes of sharing, learning and growing up. There is no foul language or other objectionable content. MOVIEGUIDE® finds BLUEY: Season One suitable for all ages.
Movieguide®’s review of BLUEY Minisodes Episodes 1.1-1.7 reads:
BLUEY MINISODES is a collection of short, self-contained comedy segments airing on Disney+. It’s a spinoff to BLUEY, the delightful animated Australian educational series about a young Australian heeler dog growing up with her hyperactive family. Most MINISODES highlight the “role play” activities of Bluey with her sister, Bingo, and their father, Bandit. The first seven minisodes range from the girls reading Bandit’s childhood book report when he was only 5-years-old to Bandit pretending to call tech support to fix his “broken” robot daughter.
The first seven programs of BLUEY MINISODES are a creative slam dunk. Similar to the original program, this collection is funny and enjoyable for both children and adults. The comedy is witty, and the art design is fantastic. This collection stresses sharing life lessons, children and parents playing together, and a positive depiction of a caring father. Objectionable content is nowhere to be seen. Therefore, MOVIEGUIDE® highly commends this new beginning to a BLUEY spinoff. MOVIEGUIDE® will have reviews of the next programs in BLUEY MINISODES as Disney+ releases them later this year and in 2025.
