The latest batch of \u2018minisodes\u2019 are filler until the release of the upcoming film. Do they bode poorly for a show that was once one of television\u2019s most ambitious?<\/p>\n
If you are a Bluey fan, you will know all too well that we are in the midst of a confusing limbo. The last proper Bluey episode aired in spring 2024. There is a Bluey movie coming out in summer 2027. Between them is a long, dry gap of three years, three months and 16 days.<\/p>\n
But Bluey is a machine that needs to be fed. There are Bluey books to be sold, Bluey records to be bought, Bluey toys and games and Lego sets and magazines and shoes and drinkware and gnomes and bedding and bandages and pyjama sets and 550-watt Bluey Mini Waffle Makers that need to be shifted. It\u2019s hard to sell all this product when Bluey has no centre of gravity, and so, with a measured amount of excitement, here comes a new set of minisodes.<\/p>\n
