Bluey and her family are about to get miniaturized with their first set of Bluey minisodes. The first seven episodes will drop on July 3rd at precisely 12 AM PST/3 AM EST on Disney+, with airings across The Disney Channel and its sister channel, Disney Junior, throughout the week and, hopefully, beyond.
A press release from Disney provided to The Parent Watch, states that we can expect plenty of fun adventures and the family bonding Bluey is well-known for. The precocious six-year-old Blue Heeler pup and her four-year-old sister Bingo have created plenty of memorable games and asked some of life's most challenging questions, answered with educational play and creative storytelling.
Take The Sign, for example. While entertaining for the younger audience members, I was in tears because the episode highlighted childhood lightness and quickly transitioned to adulthood, all in twenty-eight minutes. By the end, I was an emotional wreck. But Bluey has a way of doing that.
"The collection of one to three-minute Bluey Minisodes is written by Bluey creator Joe Brumm and produced by Ludo Studio. The stories highlight funny and sweet moments featuring Bluey and Bingo, leaning into playful interactions and games that further explore the characters and world of Bluey."
Disney and Ludo Studios also revealed the first minisodes, including "Burger Dog" and "Muffin Unboxing." In "Letter," we might get a peek at Bandit's childhood in the 1980s," which could hatch an Easter Egg to season three's episode, "Fairytale." Having an episode structure as a flashback or even a mention of the past gives the characters
The Bluey minisodes titles
- "Burger Dog:” The kids want to dance to some annoying music, but Dad pretends his phone battery is flat until Mum phones him.
- "Bingo 3000:” Dad has bought a brand new “Bingo 3000” robot, but it’s not working, so he has to call technical support.
- “Muffin Unboxing:" Stripe is filming Muffin unboxing a dump truck toy, but Muffin struggles to stay focused.

- “Three Pigs:" Dad retells the story of the three little pigs. In this version, the pigs and the wolf eventually become friends.
- "Animals:" Mum is playing the animal game on Bingo's back. She pretends Bingo's back is a big field, and various animals walk, jump, and dart across it, making Bingo laugh.
