As of March 16th, a special televised version of the traveling theatrical production, Blueyโ€™s Big Play โ€“ The Stage Show, is set to arrive on Disney+. It will feature live performances of all the Bluey characters, masterfully brought to life by puppeteers. But that’s not all. Additionally, 10 Bluey “minisodes” that were previously only available online and in Australia will have their premiere date on the platform on May 20. The titles of the minisodes are โ€œHumpty Dumpty,โ€ โ€œGreen Bottles,โ€ โ€œFlying Saucer,โ€ โ€œTea Party,โ€ โ€œPea Pod Sausages,โ€ โ€œOld Macdonald,โ€ โ€œHonk,โ€ โ€œLollipop Song,โ€ โ€œCinderella,โ€ and โ€œMake Mum Laugh.โ€

Bluey is Worth Getting Excited Over

Bluey, originally created by Joe Brumm, is aimed at preschool-aged children and centers on Bluey, a six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy who is full of energy and loves nothing more than a good adventure. She lives with her father, Bandit, her mom, Chilli, and her younger sister, Bingo, who regularly joins Bluey on her adventures. And while the show is geared toward kids, highlighting Bluey and Bingo’s shenanigans, it focuses just as much on Chilli and Bandit and how they raise their daughters. The series does an incredible job bringing relatable storylines for both children and adults to life, not shying away from tougher story beats like pregnancy loss, while still staying grounded with relevant pop culture referencesโ€”two reasons why it’s achieved its critically acclaimed status (it currently holds the 96th spot on Rolling Stone’s 100 Best Sitcoms of All Time list).

So here’s hoping that Bluey doesn’t lose its magic now that it’s getting even bigger, with a feature-length film on the horizon. But it’s more likely that the family of pups will continue to make the magic that’s helped the series gain so much well-earned popularityโ€”telling relatable stories that tug on everyone’s unique heartstrings.

And if you find yourself searching for the new short to no avail, it’s hidden away under the Mickey+ shorts, so you can find it there!
