I just watched this episode tonight!
do you want me to tell you why it is impactful?
seems like it would be easier to just watch it yourself
Ive never seen an episode so it would be easier to have it explained lolIt would be doing an injustice to try to explain it
I've never seen it but the way it was described to me, it basically cuts parents slack for sucking at parenting.Except they dont, and thats dumb
It got me with tears on my face.Indeed. It had me with tears in my eyes before the final reveal.. and then the reveal just made me legitimately cry.
The music playing, the emotion on the characters' faces culminating from all the happenstance things leading to that moment.....amazing.
Nice write-up, thank you
It's not really going to have the same impact when you don't have the emotional investment in the characters and story.Yeah ok this is not at all how it was explained to me.
There's a big doubt about the Dad moving away to a different city for a better paying job is the right decision. His wife and Bluey don't really want to but the little sister Bingo seems fine about it. The entire episode is about that doubt but also about how things will work out how they are supposed to. The episode is called The Sign because Bluey and her cousins are convinced if they remove the For Sale sign they won't have to move.
On moving day Bingo finally realizing the gravitas of moving. She misunderstood that someone buying the house means they need to leave and move to a different city. So with tears in her eyes she desperately tries to remove the sign. Immediately after this there's a montage of the family pondering and remembering all the good times they've had in the house which references a lot of the older episodes.
Right at the end it's revealed all the little things happening throughout the episode has had a chaos theory style effect of the house buyers finding a house they would rather move into so they back out of the sale. This leads to the Dad getting the call and deciding to remove the sign leading to the emotional catharsis of not just the episode but the show in general.
It's mundane but that's the point. We all can relate to how the little things lead us on a path and being unsure if we're doing the right things.
Yeah ok this is not at all how it was explained to me.
So it's just another show where the parents are always wrong; should've figured.
what was the down side of the family moving to a new house so the dad can live closer to his new job?
Bluey episodes where the ending makes me cry:
* Baby Race
* Sleepy Time
* Grandad
* The Sign
Also, did Bandit have to back out of an accepted job offer (and had he already quit his old job, or was he backing out of a transfer)? Did they have to back out of the purchase of their new house? Had they already committed to renting storage until the new house was ready? Adulting is hard and decisions have consequences!The upside is they probably got a fat earnest money check, assuming Australia real estate processes are similar to here in the US.

I honestly hate it in cartoons when the parents get a well paying job, but the kids are sad that they will have to leave behind their friends so the parents refuse the job offer for the sake of the kids when the whole point of getting a better paying job is for the sake of the kids.What show are you talking about
I was frustrated, not sad. Weak to back out of a new job offer, stability for the family, and the parents growing older/slower and kids maturing in a new neighborhood would be healthy for everyone. They also probably owe money on the second house they need to back out of, and the dad quit his job to boot, and all the furniture seemed to be gone in the recap.The dogs that couldnt see backed out of the deal to buy the house
Hesitation is defeat, Bandit.
If I had kids I would probably watch the Bluey cartoon with them. If I had kids I would also BAN Caillou from ever being played. Caillou is the type of child you have with gentle parenting with no consequencesCailou is a little piece of shit
Caillou
why
man it's always 0-100 with you caillou dudes why do you hate it so much
man people keep talking about bluey is it actually good does anyone have the inside scoopYeah, it's good.
Yeah, it's good.
The animation is great, the characters are all good, morals are great.
It's unarguably the best preschooler cartoon ever. Unlike pretty much every other one that is all about bright colors and trying to make money, the people that work on Bluey very clearly care a ton about their product.
Most preschool shows are garbage, with the highest praise that I can give to some of them like Peppa Pig is that "they're fun to watch and make fun of if you are forced into it". Bluey is legitimately a good cartoon.

I've never heard of this before. Is it like a PBSkids children's show or something? If so why are grown adults obsessing over it?I posted this in the other active Bluey topic (to some disagreement), but I think it is definitely a show for kids (with the caveat that I haven't watched this new episode)
The conversation between Bandit and Rad implied to me that Bandit would have to look for a new job if they stayed and Bandit was very worried about that uncertainty.
really don't see what the appeal is for childless adults.Because it's a genuinely good show

Not Bluey discourse
"Turning Red sucks because it doesn't reference 9/11" walked so that "Bluey is giving children false hope" could run.
Stop it. That is actual discourse too?!!Yeah. After it came out, some dude on Twitter complained that because Turning Red took place in 2002, it should have references to 9/11, and he got clowned and memed pretty hard.
https://twitter.com/hankheil/status/1779955614397186074Its crazy how a grownup can miss the entire point of an episode in a childrens show
Not Bluey discourse
