Bluey is creating a lot of attention!
Since it was first launched in 2018 in Australia, Bluey has gained a lot of attention among families. Celebrities like Natalie Portman, Eva Mendes, and Lin-Manuel Miranda have even made cameos in some of its episodes.
Bluey tells the story of a “loveable, inexhaustible, Blue Heeler dog, who lives with her Mum, Dad, and her little sister, Bingo. In the show, Bluey uses her limitless energy to play games that unfold in unpredictable and hilarious ways, bringing her family and the whole neighborhood into her world of fun.”
It has been one of the most streamed children’s shows in the US and has won several awards including the 2019 International Emmy Kids Award and 2022 British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) for the Children & Young People Award in the International Category.
