Also returning in “The Sign” is Rose Byrne, who plays Bluey’s aunt Trixie. (Bluey’s animators use colors that dogs can see.)
Up until now, most episodes run for a kid-friendly eight minutes, but on April 14, a 28-minute episode titled “The Sign” will premiere globally.
Thankfully, the Bluey team has revealed that an all-new regular-length episode, “Ghostbasket,” airing a week before, will contain a major spoiler about the events of “The Sign.”
Bluey airs on Disney+. And while I hope these episodes include a wide variety of plotlines, not all of which should be “about” LGBTQ identities, I will note that the show is set in Brisbane, which has a long-running Pride Festival.
Australian Bluey fan Margie raved about the inclusion of a LGBTQIA+ couple in a TikTok video, with many agreeing it was the 'one thing missing' from the show.
'I love it, I think it was a really nice and organic way to do it. “I love the idea of caricaturing an Australian wedding from the kid’s point of view,” he said.
Another update sending fans into a frenzy is the addition of four new voice talents in “The Sign,” most notably Australian star Joel Edgerton, though further details about his role remain unknown.
To include a mention of a kid with two moms in such an episode feels like a significant statement of LGBTQ inclusion in the Blueyverse—as long as it’s not the only one ever.
The Larger Landscape
Although there have been rumors that the extra-long episode heralded the end of the series, Bluey producer Sam Moor has told BBC Radio 4 that the show will be returning.
It's the only thing Bluey was missing.'
'I picked up on this but I needed to point it out to my wife. But in general I thought they handled it really well,' she added. A few minutes into the episode Pretzel said: 'When my guinea pig ran away, my mums told me he might come back, but he didn't'
Describing it as a 'blink and you'll miss it' moment, Margie said she too didn't notice it at first.
The series premiered on October 1, 2018, and follows the everyday adventures of Bluey Heeler, an anthropomorphic dog, his family, and his friends. That’s good, because I wouldn’t like Bluey to fall back into the pattern of many older kids’ shows, which introduced LGBTQ representation right before cancellation.
Bluey now joins a growing number of shows for younger (preschool) children that have included representation of LGBTQ people and families.
The LGBTQ reference takes up about one second of the entire thing, a rainbow flicker in a sea of straight wedding hullabaloo. In one scene, Bluey, Bingo and their two younger female cousins, Socks and fan-favorite chaos munchkin Muffin, are all wearing floral garlands around their ears. Additionally, Pretzel is only an occasional character, having appeared in just 13 of the series’ more than 150 episodes, according to the Bluey Wiki.
Enter Uncle Rad and Bluey’s godmother Frisky. “My mums told me he might come back. They’re basically saying that it’s wrong to even acknowledge that some kids have LGBTQ parents.
The show should instead be commended for taking this step. In one of Bluey’s most heartbreaking episodes, Trixie revealed that she cannot have children and is too devastated to be around her sister’s children, causing her to distance herself from the Heeler family.
Would a Pride-themed episode, with Bluey joining Pretzel and his moms at the city’s Pride Fair Day, be too much to ask?
