What makes “Bluey” so special?
The beloved animated preschool show about a 6-year-old Blue Heeler dog named Bluey, her younger sister, Bingo, her mom, Chilli, and her dad, Bandit, returns for its much-anticipated third season Wednesday on Disney+.
After launching in Australia in 2018, “Bluey,” which is co-commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and BBC Studios, premiered on Disney Junior in September 2019. Now there are “Bluey” toys and books. “Bluey’s Big Play,” a stage show, will begin its U.S. tour at Madison Square Garden on November 18. Earlier this year, a life-sized Airbnb of the Heeler home was meticulously created in Brisbane. (One lucky family even got to spend the night.) And Lin-Manuel Miranda and Natalie Portman both lend their voices to episodes in the new season.
