Bluey Minisodes Minireviews: Round 3!

It's that time once again, folks! And I'll be honest, this time it arrived sooner than I thought, but I ain't complaining xD Even though these premiered on Disney+ on Monday, I am only reviewing them now because of a combination of me getting sick and needing to rest my hands a bit from drawing too much. I'm feeling better from both things now, btw! ^^

I guess these reviews have officially become tradition now. Will I do the same should more actual Bluey episodes ever premiere? Only time will tell I guess. 😬

I think there's a bigger chance that people are caught up with the new minisodes now that it's been a few days, but just in case, ⚠️ Spoilers below the cut.

🛏️ Strong Potion

As always with this show, major props to Bandit for always being such a great sport and improviser when it comes to his kids' games, not to mention the pain he's willing to endure to amuse these girls. 😅 It's honestly super adorable to me when dads play pretend that their kids are super strong and can take them down in a brawl, it kinda reminded me of episodes like "Featherwand" and "Tina" (the latter is not one of my favorites, but I enjoyed that bit more here 😅).

🪥 Robo Bingo

Bingo sure does love pretending she's a robot or machine, doesn't she? xD I mean it's the second time within these minisodes alone. But I guess kids love to play their favorite games over and over, so I'm sure it's accurate. 😅 It was pretty funny to see how specific Chilli had to get with her instructions to get Bingo to do what she needed while not breaking "character", and I appreciate that they used the "Wind-up Bingo" noise, because "Daddy Dropoff" is such a cute ep and one of my favorites, so I appreciate the callback.

The ending actually made me laugh, though. That caught me off-guard. 😂

🦜 Butlers

Episodes heavily featuring one of the character's drawing styles? I'm always here for that! 😉 There's something really fun and whimsy about them that really captures a child's imagination and how they view what they create come to life. Apparently, these butlers were voiced by popular Australian comedians, but much like 95% of the voice guest stars in Bluey, I have no idea who they are. 😅 But the gags where super fun, and these kids/writers came up with some really creative and crazy stuff for the Dreamhouse xD The bit with Harlow in the kitchen might have been my favorite, poor guy has to keep up with those crazy requests, I'd second-guess my carreer choices too buddy, I feel you there. 😂 Overall, this might have been the most fun short of this new bunch.

🪞 Where's Bingo?

This one was fine, I guess. 😬 It might have been my least favorite of this batch. Like, nothing inherently wrong with it, but I guess I just didn't find the game particularly fun or engaging, at least not to watch. It was pretty much just Bandit carrying Bingo around and pretending to look for her. It was cute though, that much it was. 😊 But it's Bandit and Bingo, so what else is new? 🤭

🐻 Goldilocks

Another Bandit bedtime story, YAY! 😆 Honestly love those, we should Bandit-fy every fairy tale in existence, just saying. 😉 This retelling might not have been as funny as the previous two (in my opinion), but it was MUCH easier to follow than "Three Pigs", which I greatly appreciate. And I also appreciate Bandit calling out how messed up it is that Goldilocks is basically a criminal and we're suppossed to be okay with that xD Old fairytales, man. Anyways, the fighting twist was funny, and I love how the kids always want to hear the story again, with Bandit always been like "Noooo I wanna sleep!", which feels super accurate. 😂

Side note that has nothing to do with the minisode itself, but "Puss In Boots: The Last Wish" might have forever altered my mental image of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, because that version of them is all I could imagine. 😅

🎻 Alongside

You all know I've been asking to see other characters featured in these minisodes since the first ones came out, and we finally got a bit of that! Sort of. It still heavily featured the Heeler fam, but it was cool to see a bit of the routine of one of the side characters for once! Honey may not be my favorite supporting character, but she's definitely a pretty underutilized one most of the time, so it was cool to get a look at how a typical day is like for her in comparison to Bluey! Honey sure is a busy bee, and also appears to be quite self sufficient for her age.

Don't know about anyone else, but I found relatable aspects on both Honey's and Bluey's side of the day xD I personally watched this one twice and focused on a different side each time, but a friend of mine told me that she was pausing and rewinding through the whole thing. How did you guys watch it? I'm actually curious. 😁

This might have been my favorite (maybe tied with "Butlers") of this bunch just because of how interesting the concept is, all the details going on in the background, and how it finally featured secondary characters. Here's hoping it was sort of a testing ground to do so with more characters that don't typically get much spotlight in the future.

Final thoughts:

Even though I do miss regular-length Bluey episodes, these shorts continue to be a fun little way to still see our favorite cartoon dog family in short and sweet, lighthearted scenarios, which as I mentioned previously and will continue to mention, is always welcome in these trying times as a fun little distraction.

I couldn't help but also notice how all the Minisodes so far have gotten grouped into "Season 1" on Disney+, and I'm assuming also in their Australian streaming service. I wonder if maybe, if they continue to make more and release them throughout 2025, those will be season 2? I guess we shall see.

Thanks to everyone who read my silly little opinions on these silly little shorts. If you've read this far, have a donut 🍩, my treat. 😉 Hope to see you all on the next Bluey!

HAPPY WICKED PREMIERE DAY! Oh my gosh, I cannot wait to finally watch this. This has been my most anticipated movie of the year and I can't believe it's finally here! What we've seen so far already looks amazing and I already know I'll just love it >w< It's gonna be so hard to wait a year for part two, but I'm hyped for that one too haha!

I of course had to draw the best witches to celebrate. The details were so fun to make. <3

OOF Okay guys hear me out, call me crazy or flaky or anything you'd like but, I think I'm changing my mind & actually starting to feel more hyped for Thunderbolts* now??

Like IDK maybe it's cause I've had time to think it over, and how the Doomsday announcement has basically confirmed that none of them (even Sentry) will die, but as a MEGA Bucky fan, I think this could be his best MCU project yet!

Like I know the dynamics are going to amazing between all of these guys, and Bucky will probably realize the leadership he's always had in him, both within the team and as a Congressman, which all just sounds like SUCH amazing choices for his character development.

I think I'll actually go see this one in theaters. Very hyped to see my pookie once again. 🤩🥰

Happy April 1st, btw. 😜

(gonna add the proper tags once the day is over xD)

🔥💧 Ember and Wade 💧🔥

(I call them Wember, but if there's a more popular ship name for them, pls let me know xD)

HAPPY ELEMENTAL PREMIERE DAY! Though it sadly isn't coming to my country for another week ;_: But that's only making me build up more hype for this movie than I already had, so I REALLY wanted to include these two in my ongoing 4 ship challenge, even though no one requested them xD

I stepped way out of my comfort zone with this piece as you can see, and I'm honestly so happy with how it ended up looking! Hope you guys will enjoy <3

Just let this man love you, Osha! You know you want to~ 😏

"You got a minute?"

This one is actually WAAAAAAAY older, I made it last year when the first "Across the Spider-Verse" teaser came out, but since this is one of the rare artworks that I'm still really proud of a whole year later and the movie is trending again, I'm sharing here on Tumblr!

So hyped to watch this OMG

P.S: I love Gwen Stacy with all my heart

🎃 Happy Halloween! 🧹

Outfit based on this costume made by Alexandra Louise. It gave me Rose Gold vibes the moment I saw it, so I couldn't help but draw her in it <3
