Bluey is an Australian animated television series for preschoolers that has aired on ABC Kids since October 2018. Created by Joe Brumm, the series follows Bluey, an anthropomorphic six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy who engages in imaginative play with her father, Bandit; mother, Chilli; and younger sister, Bingo. The characters of Bluey each represent a particular dog breed, some of which drawn from Brumm's personal life; he had a Blue Heeler named Bluey throughout his childhood. Overarching themes include the focus on family, growing up and Australian culture. The program was created and is produced in Queensland; its capital city Brisbane inspires the show's setting. Bluey won a Logie Award for Most Outstanding Children's Program in 2019 as well as an International Emmy Kids Award. It has been praised by television critics for depicting a modern everyday family life, constructive parenting messages and the role of Bandit as a positive father figure. (Full article...)
