We all love Bluey here, make no mistake. That adorable and inquisitive Blue Heeler pup and her family could do no wrong when it comes to telling stories through imaginative play and seeing the world through a child's eyes. Each episode brought a new joy to appreciate, and for the adults, the writers intelligently placed a hidden joke within the storylines.

To date, Bluey has surpassed 150 episodes, one twenty-eight-minute special, two Macy Thanksgiving Day Parade balloons, and a sold-out play. Not bad for a 6-year-old and for Ludo Studios. The latest arrival is the first batch of minisodes that dropped on Disney+ last month and are airing on the Disney Channel and Disney Junior.

Now, to be clear, there are no bad episodes of Bluey, so don't expect any put down here regarding the Heeler family. Instead, we're taking a look at the overall value and production of the minisodes, after binging them on a constant loop. We told you that we love Bluey.

The Bluey minisodes ranked from good to great

Back in July, Disney+ released seven (yes, seven!) adorably funny and sweet minisodes to enjoy. The group is the first launch of the thirty Disney and Ludo Studios are rolling out for Bluey fans. The second batch will premiere later this year, while the third and last batch making their "for real life" debut in early 2025.

Good: "Burger Dog"

You ever get that certain children's song ear-wormed and stuck into your mind, and no matter what try to do, you can't escape it? Poor Bandit had to listen to Bluey and Bingo's newest music obsession, "Burger Dog," which if you pay close attention to the lyrics, "he was a wiener dog, and now he's a burger dog" has a rather dark shade to the tune.

While Bluey is known for its musical dance numbers as there's nothing cuter than a pup dancing, "Burger Dog" is not one of my favorites. I really don't know why, but it might have to do with the idea of consuming my dogs, who are tiny chihuahuas by the way. What's more is that after Bandit gets annoyed enough, he lies saying that his phone ran out of juice after shutting the song off, only to be caught when Chilli calls him.

The lesson here is that you best be prepared when "Burger Dog" comes on.

Good: "Hungry"

When Bandit gets hungry, he plays eats Bluey, who burst into giggles at his attempts. The minisode holds an oblivious connection to "Burger Dog" as it's about eating, and we wonder if that's how a real burger dog is made. If so, then Bluey has some explaining to do on this concept.

Nonetheless, we love seeing Bandit interacting with his children.

Good: "Three Pigs"

Before Bluey and Bingo are off to Dreamland, Bandit tells them his improvised story of the fairy tale, "The Three Little Pigs." In his version, the pigs invite the Big Bad Wolf over for a swim, which follows a grubby situation that isn't pleasing to the pigs. They cast the wolf off, but he finds his own success.

Bluey and Bingo add their own tidbits to the story, making the bedtime activity fun and hilarious.

Great: "Bingo 3000"

Bandit and Bingo play a game where the latter pretends to be a robot who doesn't operate properly. Bandit pretends to call technical support of the Bluey 3000, and none of the suggestions work. He then tries shaking the "robot" and that seemed to do the trick.

Chilli, however, is a bit annoyed by the slow speed of the Bingo 3000, but Bingo loves to just take her time and do her own thing.

Great: "Animals"

Chilli and Bingo have a sweet mother-daughter moment with game of Animals. The 4-year-old lies belly down on her mom's lap as she gestures all sorts of creatures on Bingo's back. There's an antelope, cat, spider, and an elephant to name a few.

"Animals" reminded us of season's 1 "Magic Asparagus," where the Heeler family transformed into multiple animals by the wave of an asparagus stalk.

Great: "Letter"

In the "Letter, " Bluey and Bingo learn more about their dad when Nana reads them a letter he wrote when he was five years old, not much younger than his daughters. While Bandit made it perfectly clear (in his vision) of his family life, he had trouble with some of the words' spelling. Because of his poor spelling, Nana had a hard time deciphering what her son was trying to say, but eventually, she figured it out.

"Letter" reflects back to season 3's "Fairytale, which tells another childhood memory of how Bandit met Chilli while on holiday.

Also, I could go for some "lazarniya" right about now.

Great: "Muffin Unboxing"

The best of the bunch goes to Muffin, as she opens a dump truck for a YouTube unboxing. Throughout the minisode, Muffin's classic antics are in full force on camera. We love how she's her authentic, preschool self and doesn't care what anyone thinks. Naturally, she'll (hopefully) grow out of it, but in the meantime, Muffin is only behaving like a typical three-year-old.

And of course, Socks pops in at the right moment at the end, giving the piece a much needed does of innocence.

All Bluey minisodes are available on Disney+!
