BLUEY: Episodes 3.38-47
Ten little stories that quietly speak to the whole room.
Should You Watch It?
Here is the happy news: BLUEY remains one of the finest things you can put in front of your children — and one of the few shows written to reach the adults sitting beside them. These ten new Season Three episodes carry the same gifts as the rest: clean, lovely animation, music that lands the mood exactly, and short stories that are simple for kids yet quietly profound for grown-ups.
The lessons here are ones you'd want your family learning anyway — perseverance, compassion, empathy, kindness, honest rest, and how to feel anger or grief without being ruled by it. "Relax," "Dragon," and "Cricket" stand out especially, the last two folding in real courage and real grief with a lightness that never cheapens them.
So the answer is easy. Gather the family and press play — and don't be surprised if the parents in the room are the ones wiping their eyes.
The Story
NO SPOILERS — WE KEEP THE SURPRISESMeet the Heelers — a family of Australian dogs who live like humans: Bandit the dad, Chilli the mom, and their daughters Bingo and Bluey. Each episode runs eight or nine minutes and turns everyday life into imagination and play.
These ten episodes wander happily: three follow a family holiday at the beach, a few step away to Bluey's friends, and the rest range across home and neighborhood. A stuffed puppy gets a new home. A mom struggles to truly rest. A nervous young artist wonders if she measures up. Every story sets out to teach something worth knowing — and usually more than one thing at once.
Is It Any Good?
Four stars, and they're well earned. BLUEY is a beautifully drawn two-dimensional show, paired with classical music and fun tunes that fit every scene. The voice actors are pitch-perfect as both the children and the parents.
But the real test is the stories, and this is where the show soars. In eight or nine minutes, each episode is cute and easy to follow yet never shallow. Many carry a deeper meaning that sails right over the children's heads and speaks straight to the adults in the room — and if you're paying attention, they can hit you hard. It's rare for children's television to be this well-crafted and this emotionally honest at the same time. That combination is why the top marks are deserved.
The Worldview
BLUEY's worldview is strongly moral, and it's remarkable how much these little stories manage to hold. Every episode carries an obvious lesson and a quieter one underneath it — and the values on display line up closely with what Scripture honors.
Look at the range. "Cubby" gently warns against discontentment. "Exercise" shows parents learning to care for themselves while their children keep them young. "Relax" teaches the importance of true rest — something the show notes even the Bible commands. "Stickbird" is about feeling anger and disappointment and then letting them go. "Show and Tell" reminds children that a parent's instructions are for their good, echoing the commandment to honor father and mother. "Dragon" weaves together perseverance in art and a mother's healthy grief for her own mother. "Wild Girls" teaches empathy and that imagination is worth pursuing even when it doesn't go your way. "Cricket" rolls perseverance, bravery, and caring for a younger sibling into one story.
One small note for parents: a pair of single parents appear to flirt, which the show presents without explaining their situations. It's brief and easily missed.
Underneath the play runs a longing the show keeps circling — the ache for rest, and for letting go of grief and anger. Scripture names where that rest is finally found: "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28).
The Content Guide
The specifics — spoilers included by nature — so you can judge for your own family.
Dominant Worldview and Other Worldview Content/Elements
Very strong moral worldview where each of the episodes has a particular obvious moral and then a hidden underlying moral. In “Cubby,” the moral is to not be too discontented when you feel like things could be better; Bluey and Bingo learn this while playing with their new baby, while Bandit and Chilli learn it while trying to deal with their creations. In “Exercise,” Bandit and Chilli learn to take care of themselves and entertain their children, and that their children help them feel young. In “Relax,” Chilli has to learn the importance of true rest, which is something everyone needs, even according to the Bible. In “Stickbird,” the moral is learning to deal with anger and disappointment and letting go of these feelings. In “Show and Tell,” the moral is that when parents are telling their kids to do things it is for their benefit, which can correlate directly with the commandment “Honor Thy Mother and Father.” In the episode “Dragon,” Bluey is taught to persevere and to support her love of drawing while Chilli remembers her mother and in her own way grieves and copes with her loss in their drawing adventure. In the episode “Wild Girls,” Bluey’s friend Coco learns to have empathy and that life like imagination doesn’t always go our way but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth doing. In the episode “Cricket,” Bluey’s friend Rusty learns both to persevere in a game he loves, face his fears by being brave, and to take care of his little sister while his father is away
Foul Language
No explicit foul language, but in the world of Bluey the adults will use substitutes for but not the usual substitutes, such as “Biscuits” and “Duck Cake”
Violence
Some sports violence and cartoon crashing
Sex
No sex
Nudity
Technically all the characters are naked because they are dogs, but there is no human nudity
Alcohol Use
No alcohol use
Smoking and/or Drug Use and Abuse
No smoking or drugs, but there’s an episode where Bluey, Bingo and Bandit go to a pharmacy to get some vitamins;
Miscellaneous Immorality
A pair of single parents seem to be flirting with each other indicating they are single parents, which is not ideal but not indicating why they are single, and the young dogs pretend the character Coco is a witch in “Wild Girls,” but this isn’t witchcraft related and is more like being a fairytale witch.
Talk About It
Four questions for the couch, the commute, or the couple bingeing it together.
In "Relax," Chilli can't seem to let herself rest. Why is real rest so hard for us — and where does God tell us to find it?
Genesis 2:2–3 · Matthew 11:28"Stickbird" shows that it's okay to feel angry or disappointed, as long as you're willing to let it go. What does the Bible say about holding on to anger?
Ephesians 4:26–27 · Psalm 4:4In "Show and Tell," Bluey learns that her parents' instructions are for her good. Why does honoring parents matter, and how is it a blessing rather than a burden?
Exodus 20:12 · Ephesians 6:1–3"Dragon" is about a mother grieving her own mother in a healthy way. How does Scripture invite us to grieve — and to hope while we do?
2 Corinthians 1:3–4 · 1 Thessalonians 4:13The Final Word
BLUEY keeps doing the near-impossible: making television children adore and parents feel. These ten episodes are beautifully drawn, wisely written, and full of lessons worth learning together. So our answer is a glad one — worth watching. Settle in as a family; the little stories may reach you deeper than you expect.
