I'm thankful that episode came out long after our move and that my son was too young to get attached to our place in TX. Because otherwise that episode would be banned in our house.
that episode was a real bummer for parents. also the one where all the other families were super cool with the kids running around in front of the movie screen. No one was like "i spent 160 digeridollars to see this movie with my kids. now sit down!"? but i still love the show.
When that episode came out, that very day, I signed a contract for a new job overseas, and I was going to move my whole family - and my kiddo's only known life - to another country.
I cried *hard* at that episode. I can't dismiss your dislike, but for me, it's imprinted on my soul.
It sounds like maybe you didn't then? I'm all for people making the choice that's right for their families + glad that it was meaningful for some folks (+ hope whatever choice you made worked out!). But I am GUTTED for the kids who love Bluey, watched that, and then their parents had to move anyway.
Nah, we did the move, and we don't regret it. It's an honesty that it's hard to take a chance to up-end your whole life, and sometimes I wonder what would happen if I stayed.
But my kid is happy now. I'm happy now. Our family is thriving.
Sometimes it works out. But you can't future-predict it.
That and the part where Aunt Brandy magically got pregnant despite an incredibly poignant episode about her coming to terms with never being able to have children. Pretty tough look for a show that was in large part about managing big feelings.
Now the real question will be whether or not my kid will be too old for Bluey at that point, or am I gonna be a 52 year old man watching this in a theater by myself.
If the step up in quality from the series to the movie is equivalent to what is was for Paw Patrol, then the Bluey movie will be the greatest movie in celluloid history.
