The Australian animated seriesBluey, has been a certified hit across the pond in the USA, with the show releasing a series of short episodes, called “minisodes”. Like the original series, theseBlueyshorts follow the day-to-day adventures of the titular anthropomorphic six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy, her younger sister Bingo, father Bandit, and mother Chilli. MostBlueyepisodes offer lessons that parentsand kids alike can learn from, and while the minisodes don’t offer heartfelt messages of quite the same depth, they’re still worth watching.
Running from one to three minutes per minisode, theBlueyshorts were released in three parts. The first seven-episode batch was released in June 2024 first in Australia before expanding worldwide in July, while the second seven-episode batch was released in October and the final six episodes coming in the third batch in December. These bite-sized minisodes are perfect to tide fans overuntilBlueyseason 4 comes out, though some are better than others.
