Why Bluey's "Sleepytime" is One of the Best Episodes of Television Ever Made

- Hey guys! Slightly different style of video for me, but I've been wanting to make this for a while and had a lot of fun with it. Bluey is one of my favorite shows to watch with my daughter, and I wanted to explain why it's so much better than you might expect.. starting with my personal favorite episode.
Let me know what you think of it in the comments down below, I put around 24 hours into the entirety of this video so any compliments/suggestions/etc down below are much appreciated!
It took me 5 different times to upload this since TH-cam wanted to copyright literally everything, but I'm still content with the final result! Sorry I couldn't show it all.
Thanks for checking it out!

I find it great that Bandit is represented as Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity. Both Bluey and Bingo see their dad as a source of joy. And we see the caring and joyful nature Bandit gives to her girls in every episode
I didn't even catch that, nice find! Just another reason I love this
The music playing at 3:35 is "Jupiter, Bringer of Jololity" by Gustav Holst. I thought that was intentional on your part.
@@somebonehead it's the music in the episode haha
The way my sister-in-law phrases it when talking about her kids/my two nieces: "Mommy is comfort, daddy is fun."
* tearing up again, thinking about how watching Bluey is the closest I'll ever get to a healthy family *
When Chilli says she loves Bingo in her dream, ugh.. That moment is just so strong for me, it squeezes my heart so hard. This episode is a masterpiece, I can't love it enough.
It's so heartwarming
@@itsalexpierce It really is!
I was bawling- this is in my top 5 Bluey episodes
I'm a big girl now. It was one of the first I watched, as a father if two at similar ages... I was addicted. Sleepy time is the BEST episode... the score and those words by Chili chokes me up everytime.
@@vuchaser99 literally every time
I lost my mom 12 years ago and I miss her every day. When Chilli says "Remember, I'll always be here for you, even if you can't see me, because I love you" it's like a shot to my soul to remind me that she may not be physically here she is still always with me. Thanks Mom for for always being with me. Love you.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
I’m in a similar situation, I haven’t seen my mother in over 11 years, and it’s not even that she is dead, but I don’t know what happening with her or what she is doing, and I have this anxiety in the back of my mind, but still sleepytime is a message that I will always love cause of what chili says at the end, it just touches my, and thousands of other souls by those few words
God, can yall stop making me sob?
❤exactly
Everytime I see this episode it feels like a hug for my mind, it always manages to make me very emotional.
That's a great way of putting it. It's so emotionally comforting
Wuss
@@Unknown-sz9dr?
@@Unknown-sz9drwhat do you mean “wuss”? Sleepy time *IS* one of the best episodes, not just of bluey, but of any show. It’s emotions and animations, and it’s meaning will make many people emotional. Literal TEENAGERS and ADULTS watch this, calling them a wuss is just dumb, just because you either don’t like the episode, your not emotional, or anything else, doesn’t mean you get to take it out on others. Argue all you want, this episode will make people emotional and there is nothing you can do about it. Get over it, grow up, and watch that episode, I don’t care if you dint find it emotional, and I don’t care if this was a joke, if it was, *make it seem like a joke* 💀
Me too 🥺
as someone with massive parental issues this show has become my new comfort show, and god sleepytime made me cry my guts out, especially as someone who lost their daughter too.. long story. I just felt so many emotions, in so many ways, and god this was one of the most beautiful, if not the best fucking thing I've ever watched, ever. I remember finishing the episode and just crying so hard thinking "this deserves to be in a theatre" cus FUCK that was so amazing
It's legitimately so spectacular
same!!! it's healing my inner child so much. this is what we should have had.
I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter, I hope you've been doing better
Millennials who never had friends getting confort in my little pony in the early 10's 🤝 zoomers who never had a healthy family getting confort in bluey in the early 20's
@@matheussanthiago9685 Why not both? I have seen Bluey fan's from Gen Alpha to Silent Gen and everything in-between including Boomers and Gen X. Millennials like me also love this show. And Gen Z still likes ponies.
Bingo 100% becomes an astronomer or some other type of scientist when she grows up. She's always asking scientific questions throughout the series.
"Not good night for fruit bats. They're octurnal"
Bandit is also a scientist (archaeologist) and I think it would be so heartwarming to see Bingo follow in her dad's footsteps
"Dad, where do rocks come from?"
"How does the baby get in the lady's belly?"
Bingo often seems a lot smarter and more curious than Bluey, so I would definitely agree
As far as I'm concerned Bandit is dad goals incarnate for any dad that cares about their kids. Its so awesome to see a portrayal of a father in popular media who's not an incompetent abusive shlub.
Yes, I really do appreciate this aspect of the show a lot
I like the fact that she got her rabbit back, because it shows while she's too big to sleep in their bed, she shouldn't go too fast and stress herself out
Wow. That’s literally what I’ve been going through as an almost 18 year old. I still cuddle two little plushies, yet sadly I’m not attached to them anymore 💖
Oh, so this is what was going on here! Ya know, I didn’t understand the ending at the first place, but now I do thanks to your comment
I just love how bluey accidentally covers her dad with the blanket
Its both heartwarming and hillarious but its mostly heart warming because bluey got her dad to be warm
Bluey has become a major comfort show despite me being 19. I lost my mom in June of 2022, only 2 weeks after my high school graduation. I’ve been having a hard time with accepting that she isn’t here anymore. My grieving process has been a little weird. So watching bluey and seeing chili being a cool mom brought me a lot of comfort. I was very similar to Bingo as a child but with a little more separation anxiety. I always wanted my parents to be around me but eventually grew out of it. But anyways, i saw Sleepytime a few weeks ago. I was going through some stuff so i of course watched Bluey to comfort myself. And i remember hearing Chili tell Bingo “remember i’m always here for you, even if you can’t see me” and immediately started crying. It was something i seriously needed to hear, i know my moms always gonna be here for me. Even when shes not here. I love this episode so much and i very much agree that it’s the best episode from Bluey💕
She’ll always be looking out for her baby wherever she is. I’m so sorry for your loss.
Awww….. I hope you get lots of hugs still 💖💖💖💖
I am very sorry for your loss, and she will always be there for you even though you cannot see her.
🥹 😭 I really love when things, words fit right in like that.
I have a line from an episode of a show that really helps me in a lot of scenarios...
A sad, but then beautiful story
I’m sorry for your loss
There is a beautiful hardcover book of this episode. The gut punch moment of Chili, as the sun, saying "I'll always love you" is an enormous fold out and still makes me cry every time I read it. My kids request this book just to see me cry now.
Another nice detail: Jupiter is theorized to have a solid core. Was cool to see that in the dream.
I got it for my son for Christmas and play "Jupiter" softly on my phone while I read it.
Where did you get it?
I tear up (okay I basically lose it) at basically every single episode of Bluey. This show is absolutely wild. I get frustrated because sometimes I don't even understand why I'm crying at first. It's such a thoughtful show. These parents, especially Bandit, are exactly the role models for what kind of parents I want to be for my girl as she gets older.
Even though I'm just a teenager, this episode makes me cry every time I watch it, I think the metaphors and the music of the episode are what makes it very special and one of the best episodes I've ever seen (even in IMDb it's the 8th most rated episode in a TV show)
Yeah I can't believe I missed that whole aspect of IMDB
And it was tied for #1 with Breaking Bad’s Ozymandias episode, until a bunch of (alleged) AoT fans bomb reviewed it :( so let’s just say that by heart, this episode is tied at 1st lol
@@aevveon why’d they do that :(
Finally I find another teen that likes the show
@@sillyperson1610 toxic hardcore fanbases can't fathom anything higher rated than their show even for just an episode :/
I love this episode so much that I'm starting my own "Weekly Sleepytime Rewatch" because It's just so so great
You finna cry weekly
I listen to the background track while falling asleep, it works very well. :03
if i watched this every week i'd permanently be an emotional wreck lol
I was raped by 100 gang members. When I Junko Furuta turned down a boy who liked me I doomed myself to a life of pain and abuse. One day I was walking home from school, 4 men kidnapped me. They quickly took me to their personal torture chamber and subjected me to repeated rapes and torture. Even more disturbingly, they made my family aware of my situation leaving them terrified that they would be killed if I tried to escape. As the days stretched on, the men forced me to eat maggots and drink my own urine. Sometimes they would set live firecrackers inside of me. However, despite the things that were happening to me I never gave up hope. One day as they were torturing me for the umpteenth time, I manage to slip away and make my way to the police station. But sadly as soon they discovered me, they took me back and inflicted even more damage upon me. In the end, my injuries cost me my life. My body was discovered in a concrete drum years later.
@@pundertalefan4391absolutely
It's literally like a Fantasia segment, such a gorgeous episode.
That's a really cool way of putting it
Totally.
THAT"S IT! I never got why it struck such a chord with me, but I grew up on Fantasia and it reminded me of it subconsciously!
@@chrisbolland5634What was your favorite Fantasia segment? 1940 or 2000?
@@cutepuddleslime8201 1940 by far. I loved the free-form nature of the scenes
I also think Floppy and Bingo are symbolic of parent and child.
- Floppy "hatches from the egg" and the first thing she sees is Bingo, just like the chick and mother chicken.
- Floppy wants to leave Bingo's side and join the other rabbits, mirroring when your child grows up and leaves the nest. Bingo lets her go but is upset to see her go.
- Floppy still comes back to help Bingo when she needs it while getting back into the shell because (in healthy circumstances) you never really age out of family. After you "let your kids go" they've not truly left you.
It's a funky parrallel while Bingo herself is obviously the baby growing up, but it might just go to show that you never really stop growing up, and even when you reach adulthood and have kids of your own, there are still times where you have to be "a big girl". 💜
There's so many episodes where parent and child are represented
Bluey works so well because the kids are relatable to the target demographic, and the parents are relatable to the audience's parents. It manages to tell solid lessons without talking down to anyone.
That's what I love the most about the show, it doesn't talk down and the lessons are not those that are typically taught in kids TV. And they're lessons that parents aren't taught either, and they absolutely should.
Bluey is so good that I CANNOT multitask while watching it without immediately getting distracted and hooked by it!
It eats you like a watermelon and you get distracted? :3
I am adult, and every time I watch this specific episode it just brings me to tears because it's that beautiful. The music accompaning the scenes, the symbolisms and line deliveries... truly a masterwork.
That was a really nice essay! I think sleepy time is one of the top emotional episodes of Bluey, along with daddy drop-off and camping. What really gets me in this episode, tough, is how much her mum's love, and she herself, mean o Bingo; Chili is literally her sun. I don't think I've seen quite this brand of care and parental love in pretty much any show.
Thanks! Daddy drop off is great too, especially with how much something little like Wind-Up Bingo can life like her friend. I actually used that picture scene from that episode in this video.
Daddy drop-off got me emotional out of no where 😂 i love that episode too!
@@seanespique the ending where she grows up just makes you see how fast it goes
This episode makes me cry every time
Even after all the work and rewatches I put into this video, same.
Same!
Me too 😢
What ep is it???
@@joualavedra1208 It's called Sleepytime.
I want to show Sleepytime to as many of my friends as possible because it seems everyone has their own reaction to when Chilli speaks as the Sun. My little sister cries & said "I miss Eli" (our brother who died at age 26) It makes me cry because I am reminded of my dog who died from old age, then of The Land Before Time because it's almost the exact same words Littlefoot's mother says to him before she dies. It makes my boyfriend cry because he loves his mommy, but has attachment issues. Bluey is important and special.
It's wild how much something as simple as that 30 seconds of the show can mean to someone
I lost my mom on this last Christmas Day. I was wanting something to watch in the background while writing and decided to put on an hour of Bluey. Safe to say my attention was mainly on the show, but the moment Sleepytime came on I broke down. Chili's words at the end of the episode just struck me straight through my heart. I miss my momma so much it hurts, but this epidose gave me just the tiniest bit of comfort, knowing that no matter where she is now, she's watching over me.
I cried because the line "I'll always be here for you, even if you can't see me, because I love you" made me think of my own mother's love and how I know she'll always be here for me because she loves me and I love her too❤️
This episode and The Weekend make me so emotional. I dont know if it's the disappointment that Bingo feels that Bandit didn't see the walking leaf, or the wonder of the big itself... but it makes me tear up every single time I watch it.
I have the Bluey Vinyl (naturally, lol) and whenever The Weekend track comes on you hear Bingo call out whispering to Bandit - it's so adorable and soft spoken. I always forget he misses it though
Me too-
I love The Weekend so much. Bingo and the walking leaf is one of my favorite scenes of the entire series. And the part at the end where Bingo tells Bandit that he didn't come see the walking leaf make me tear up a little, too. But I loooove in that scene when Bluey tries to help Bingo feel better by showing her her doll and pointing out her "sushi shoes".
This episode makes me tear up everytime. The part where Chilli tells Bingo she's always love even if she can't see her makes me think of my mom who sadly passed away. It's comforting.
When chilli's voice says 'I'll always be here for you" it makes me weep. I hope my daughter always knows her mummy will be there for her whenever she needs
It doesn’t matter what mood I’m in, this episode always makes me cry and puts me at peace. It’s my favorite episode of Bluey, and probably my favorite episode of all of TV.
8:32
And there it is, the tears.
Just that part of the music gets to me everytime.
Also you mentioning how Bingo is more mature than Bluey, despite being younger, is an extremely relatable thing for me. Being the younger sister, I never went against orders (at least not intentionally), while my brother would just sometimes completely ignore doing stuff he was told to do.
I heard this episode before I saw it. I walked out of my home office and my ears immediately perked up. I used to play in symphonies and this was the greatest piece of music I ever played. I couldn't believe it was coming from this show. I knew it was a great show but this episode was art. I couldn't stop taking about the music and what it meant to me. How beautiful it was, how complicated it was, what it was like to learn it and play it on the most beautiful music hall I had ever performed in. I played it for my 3 kids. My sons just sat there and listened completely still and my daughter danced around to it. It was a great family moment.
I couldn't stop crying watching this episode. I have 2 daughters, a bluey and a bingo. Same age difference too. Their mom is the best. Best family show.
"Its sad but for the happiest and proudest reasons," hits so hard as a sentiment. Wow.
This was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen, beautiful show, and beautiful script, not to mention your voice goes pretty well with this episode
Thanks so much :)
What he said ^^ Very relaxing
@@georgiagalaxy thanks haha, I almost cringe at it given it's MY voice, but I'm glad others like it
@@itsalexpierceuestion/statement : mercury as we see in the chilli representing the sun scene, hasn't hatched, sooooooooooo
Both my husband I have lost a parent, so the end of the episode where Chili says "even if you can't see me" hits us both so hard in the feels, no matter how many times we watch it. We can't watch Coco without tears either, tbh.
39 year old dad here. Sleepytime absolutely destroyed me first time I watched it and this analysis really helped me understand it so much more and shows how many little things missed. Brilliant video. Subscribed. Thank you.
Thank you!
This episode is not only a triumph in animation, or a triumph for the narrative, it's a triumph for Humanity
Im a young adult but yet i cried when i watched this episode. This episode didnt need an orchastra but yet thats what made it so emotional and great.
Some Bluey episodes make me cry, but this one makes me bawl. It’s beautiful and tells such an amazing story that I can relate to as a mom.
Honestly I feel another episode that often gets overlooked is Rain, the lack of dialogue doesn’t hamper the storytelling, and the ambiance…. It just throws me to my late spring/ early summers as a kid when it used to downpour… Sleepytime is def my #1 but honestly the brilliance of rain is understated… I hope that you can cover more Bluey episodes in this style, and your interpretation as both a father and someone who understands storytelling. I would love to see it
Agreed completely. My eldest daughter and I have a special place for Rain.💜
I agree, it pays beautiful homage to the silent films and shows the brilliance of its design, pacing and music to tell the story
I was brought to tears when Bluey said "It's bluein' time" truly masterful writing...
Take my angry upvote
Wow rude much
I like both Bluey and Star Wars but yesterday I wondered if Bluey has better character development than Darth Vader.
This!!! I feel 100% the same way about this episode. My kiddos got me into Bluey and made me watch every episode, and I believe this is not only the best kid's show on TV now, and it's not even close on that one, but arguably the best show, period. I have repeatedly told my wife and kids that this one is my favorite episode. Heck, I had a hard time not tearing up just watching your essay on it!
I like how you explained this episode. It provides a fresh new perspective on stuff like foreshadowing, which doesn't get talked about in other channels. This is also pretty great for your first video essay! :0
Some of my brain nuggets. It's not only the family, looks like every parent around them are completely okay with the way bluey's parents raise their children and their antics. Many episodes in which the neighbor's absolutely give their 200% whenever they are involved. Lucky's dad birthing bingo in Dad Baby, Judo's mum helping the kids in Ragdoll, Stripe marrying his brother in that one episode and so on! I love love the whole world of Bluey!
This video made me cry. I get misty everytime this episode is over, and I love watching my daughter who can't quite talk yet smile at bingo on a comet shooting towards the sun. I'll never understand people who don't love this episode.
Thanks for sharing!
As an adult in my 30s, this is the first time a children's show meant for preschool-aged kids actually made me tear up.
Bluey truly is a special show.
My favorite episode is rain! I wonder why no one talks about it, but it spoke to me. All the visual elements, the music, the way bluey doesn't give up on what seems like a stupid pastime, and chilli supporting bluey after seeing her work so hard. It's got so many more elements to it that makes it my favorite, but this will do enough for now. My second favorite is sleepytime, and then space.
This is also my favorite episode of Bluey. I have two daughters. For my part, it's the way the music is so prominent throughout the episode that tugs at my heartstrings. You did the episode justice - nice work.
Thank you :)
I love how you relate your own fatherhood to the show. I had a close relationship with my dad when I was young (still do but not as much anymore ofc) and the vid essay made me cry a little.
Sleepytime never fails to make me ugly cry, and surprisingly even this video is getting me teary!
This was the first bluey episode I ever saw. I was babysitting at the time and when I heard Holst’s Jupiter I was totally caught off guard, since I had just played that piece in my high school band. It was such a crazy feeling to see this kid’s show emphasize such a moving orchestral piece, especially one that I was so familiar with :)
Everytime I watch this episode, I end up making new connections. I love it. :-)
Also, yeah, Bandit is probably the best dad I've ever seen on TV. He's great.
The Bandit hype is real.
Sleepy time is one of my favorite episodes I adore. The music pulls every subject together and threads it. The background music comes from a orchestral suite which I have played in my high school band. The movement of "Jupiter" is so magical and powerful sounds blends this episode with the suite. The powerful character theme with Chile is greatly powerful. These types of videos make me understand and comprehend the meaning behind these episodes.
if i ever had a kid, I'd 100% make them grow up, watching Bluey. this show seems so good i REALLY need to give it a watch
My little cousin loves this show. I was never interested it until he turned it on. I fell in love with the show and this episode literally made me cry. It made me think about my mother and father and everything they've done for me. Bluey is one of the most beautiful children's show I've ever seen. It doesn't dull down to the level of other children's shows and I appreciate that.
8:48 when Bingo is "W" sitting, eyes closed, taking in the overwhelming warmth/love of the sun/her mum just breaks me into a sniveling mess. I love watching this episode with my 2 year old daughter.
Bingo is my favorite character because I feel so seen by her. She's sensitive, always willing to compromise, and struggles with setting boundaries and saying no.
Dance mode is basically an episode about consent as bingo's is being disrespected through the entire episode with chili saying bandit can have her fries, chili begging for one of her dance modes, bandit paying her off for her last dance mode, and bluey just deciding to buy the yes no button with bingo's money.
Yoga ball and nits also highlight how she has trouble saying no and how bluey often talks over her or for her. Also in butterflies when judo convinces bluey to just abandon her and the game, that's happened to me. So called friends suddenly deciding that it would be really funny to just stop talking to me during a field trip with literally no explanation or reason for why
This became one of my favorite Bluey episodes on 1st experience simply for including Holst.
I was getting ready to go into town & as I went to say bye to my brothers I caught the closing moments where it shows each setting in the house. I remember pausing to point out to their mum that Jupiter was playing, then giving a brief explanation on what I was on about. I was a couple minutes late for what I was going to, which usually I'd hate, but because I had this stress reliever playing in my head I didn't mind for once.
Watched it all the way through almost as soon as I got home & was in tears from how beautifully the episode is by several aspects.
Now I'll always have both a comfort show & comfort song in one place if I ever feel overwhelmed.
Every time I watch a video on Bluey I end up crying. I'm so grateful my niece gets to grow up with this wonderful show.
Interestingly, I discovered this show by accidentally running into the soundtrack. I don’t even know how I came across the soundtrack, but I fell in love, and I had to see the show, and now I have literally binge watched every episode I could find. This Show is so fucking beautiful. From start to finish, if someone doesn’t fall in love with this show, I wonder about their heart.
My husband and I have been going through this show. Sleepytime is up there with Chicanery of BCS for me. Every little detail about this episode just makes me love it more.
I should mention that we only have a cat, and no kids. But when we first went to check the show out from the beginning, we had found that somebody went into our account and watched EVERY SINGLE EPISODE OF BLUEY. This is not applied ANYWHERE ELSE on our Disney + account. I still don't know who it was! But it definitely showed me just how well-loved this show is and rightly so.
Nice analysis. This episode of Bluey is wonderfully beautiful. I did cry the first time watching it. Chili comforting Bingo in her sleep resonated so deeply for me as a parent, always wanting to protect and care for my children. Season 2 - Sticky Gecko is definitely a favorite of mine. We are forever running late to get out the door and it's just spot on to the madness of dealing with kids.
I'm so glad you talked about Holst. It's one of my favorite pieces of music and always brings tears to my eyes. I'm so thankful forJoff Bush's brilliance to use Holts' Jupiter (asl angry for the double hard cry). And how well he re-imagined it as background music. It's an incredibly emotional piece of music to a heartbreaking and heartwarming episode. It couldn't have been done better. Every aspect of this episode is perfection.
There are a lot of shows that make me (a 19 year old guy about to be 20) never want to be a parent or fear for the time that it comes. This show does the exact opposite. I want to raise a kid of my own and love them with open arms (not yet lol I want to be financially secure and such first). This episode in particular shows the magic of being a parent as well which isn't covered frequently. Sure there are rocky moments, even in the middle of the night. But at the end it was all truly worth it.
Literally any part of it is worth it if you care. That's why I love this show. It cares.
God this show has such a way to make me so emotional. even watching this video watching the back-round made me cry like god its far too good
I haven't watched the whole series yet, but my favorite episode so far is The Weekend (which is a lot like Sleepytime.) The way it captures the innocent, wholesome, almost kind of magical vibe that a weekend would have for a child is just amazing to me.
I never personally experienced that, sadly. My weekends were always stressful and the exact opposite of how it was portrayed in the show because my parents would always be fighting and yelling (I'll spare the details.) So, seeing Bluey portray the way a weekend is supposed to be spent with a loving family ~not a *perfect* family, though. Just a realistically loving one, since Bandit doesn't hear Bingo and misses the leaf~ was such an eye opener. As much as it made me cry over the fact that I never had that, I'm glad I saw that episode.
Thanks to Bluey, I finally know what a healthy, loving family looks like. This show is godsent. Not only does it teach kids lessons, it teaches everyone good life lessons we all need. (Parents should be taking notes while watching Bluey!)
I love Bluey, it's such a marvelous show. I don't have any kids and yet I can't get enough of it. It's just a joyous little show. And you did such an amazing job talking about why it's so well made. I have to agree--I think Sleepytime is my favorite episode as well. Hard to say though, because there are so many really good episodes. Like the camping one where Bluey meets Jean-Luc. The ending to that one legit makes me cry.
Man, I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees this episode as an absolute masterpiece. I didn't realize that the main theme in the end of the episode is an excerpt from Jupiter by Gustov.
I was listening to something unrelated and they shared that song. 2.5min into the song and that strong strings section hits and I'm like OMG THATS WHAT THEY PLAY IJ SLEEPYTIME
It'll make you cry. I love how the score continues through the credits
I remember me and a few friends watching this episode for the first time.
Tears were not spared that night
The episode made me cry harder than any tv or movie ever. Going through all that stuff now with my 3 year old lol.
You got this :)
I keep telling my wife every time we watch this show that Bingo is my favorite character in this show. Watching her grow and demonstrate maturity beyond her years is impressive. She even knows what perfect means! It's "really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really, good!" Haha!
Bandit will always be my #1, but Bingo is definitely my second favorite. The Bingo episodes usually are the best though!
Well done sir. I can't help but tear up even just hearing the music while my 3 kiddos watch in the back seat of the mini van. This show captures something about life, childhood and parenthood that far more sophisticated and funded shows just don't always grab the fullness of. Thanks for sharing your perspective and the time and effort you put into articulating what it is about a show about a cartoon dog family that strikes so deeply into what it means to be human, family and to love.
You did a beautiful job with this essay. The work was absolutely worth it in my eyes. Your narration made me cry a little bit due to the whole setting you set up. So thank you again for the video, I'll go to sleep myself now. Cheers
Edit: You have a great voice for this aswell.
You have no idea how spot on your analysis of "Sleepytime" and the Bluey series in general is. I could not be any more happy about that.
Thank you so much :)
@@itsalexpierce Sorry if this reply is late, but you are most welcome!
I ALWAYS get chills from this episode, it's just so heartwarming.
The score really adds to the atmosphere (no pun intended)
Great summery, great episode. I also have a daughter in the age range, and I think because of that GrandDad just barely goes beats our Sleepytime for my favorite. Thank you!
The ending of Grandad is killer
This got that episode to hit deeper. We all needing some support to growth and have those realizations and thoughts that we should and can do more ourself but know our supports will foster us to do so, that’s real love right there, just wow.
When Bingo and her toy split paths do go in different directions, it reminds me that one day soon I will go back home to Perth Australia and split paths with my friends that Ive made in the USA.
My job has a company back home and it hurts my heart that I am so far from my family. I can’t wait to be back home.
This episode 100% made me cry. I loved it
This episode is incredibly well crafted, unfortunately it also introduces one of the biggest plot holes in all of Bluey that of course being: Why does bandit own underwear when no one in the family wears clothes?
I don’t think it’s a plot hole, I think the clothes in bluey exist as a running joke, exactly because the don’t wear any.

the musical choices in this episode are impeccable. The touch of gustav holst’s Jupiter was SO TASTEFUL. When I first heard it I was SO AMAZED that a children’s show would care so much for just a good and in depth soundtrack.
It’s one of my favorite episodes I can just tear up because the music is so beautiful
People get mad at me for watching the show and I’m not a kid
But it doesn’t stop me from watching the show
Fun fact it takes 3 months to make a single episode
I started watching Bluey with my daughter as well and both my wife and I love this show. This episode, in particular, is so good!
The colors, the cute little lonely solar system, and the music score are all so good. It honestly reminds me of a dream I've never had.
We started watching Bluey early on, my daughter is addicted to it, for almost 3 years now this episode brings her to tear every single time
Such a wonderful video! I couldn't agree more about this episode either. I lost my mom when I was 15 and the last scene where Chili says "I will always be there for you; even if you can't see me," it gets me every single time- especially since I used to be in orchestra and play violin and "Jupiter", the song in this scene, was one of the last pieces I ever got to play for my mom. Bluey is a marvelous show for everyone and it brings me so much joy
The only episode above Sleepytime is the best episode of Breaking Bad which has a perfect 10/10 rating on IMDB. Sleepytime truly is a pure form of art and one of my main reasons of aspiring to work at Ludo and not Disney. As an animator I don't want to work for money, I want to feel like my work and effort has an impact on the world otherwise why bother? If I wanted to simply work for money or do something mundane I would have become any other non art proffession.
So I just saw this episode.. I'm neither a child or a parent but I teared up during the episode and I have no idea why..
I think I may have found something I repressed a long time ago and the music was hauntingly beautiful
I know I am a long time late BUT... The episodes "barbeque"(BBQ) and "take away" are the ones that got me hooked (42m). They are exactly how I grow up. BBQ's were always like that and getting "Chinese" was the same especially the spring rolls and more importantly the chair drag. It was amazing. Also to let you know the voice of Bandit was the frobtman of one of my favourite bands Custard (Aussie band)
I started college in August and it's a new experience being away from my family for more than a week or so. The first time I saw this episode I had just come back from a break where I visited my family, and it was the first time I got really homesick. So let me tell you, I SOBBED when Bingo said, "I have to go. I'm a big girl now." And her mom said "Remember, I'll always be here for you, even if you can't see me. Because I love you."
It's definitely turned into the thing I watch when I need a good cry.
The planet's is one of my favorite pieces I've had the pleasure of performing. This episode was so very good with the juxtaposition of the dream world and reality and just the playful serenity of Jupiter is a perfect way to bring the story some more depth than the storytelling itself which is also very well written.
I've never seen Bluey, but every time I see clips of Bandit, even without sound or context, the dude always finds a way directly to my funny bone.
I have no doubt I'd love this show if I ever do end up watching it. And I feel low key proud that it's a show made and based in my home country.
He's the GOAT
If you're in Australia, it's on the ABC kids app.
Love Bluey and also have the huge stuffie to cuddle with
Of Bluey? Or Floppy?
Of Bluey
As a Dad if you REALLY wanna cry, watch this then “Rug Island” back to back… Rug Island always gets me 😭
Straight up facts
It's the best!
When they played Jupiter's Chorale I was so happy. I think Jupiter is one of the most elegant and sublime pieces of music I've ever heard and was not expecting it to be played
Genuinely enjoyed watching this, and yes, I clicked on it because I watch Bluey with my grandson and think it is utter genius. The inclusion of Holst The Planets as the music for this episode is a demonstration of how they don’t dumb down the program for kids. There are also some hilarious inclusion of things for the adults in many of the episodes.
My mom passed away nearly 8 years ago, on my oldest son's birthday. 4 more kids later, we all love Bluey to no end. But when I saw Sleepytime, and Chili tells Bingo she will always be there, it hits hard to me. Without fail.
My partner and I went to see the san francisco symphony play the planets because I loved this episode so much! It was worth every moment.
Treasure every second you spend watching this show with your daughter. I'm watching these YT videos not because of Bluey, but just remembering watching them with my daughter. I haven't seen her in months and I don't know if I'll survive without her much longer.
Hey - you got this. You'll watch together again soon.
Sounds corny but you gotta stay hopeful no matter what, and be ready for when you get her back.
I love “Sleepytime”. It reminds me of my relationship with my mom when I was little. She would always tuck me in and read me stories when it was bedtime. She was also there to comfort me when I had nightmares or was sick. I even had a bunny like Floppy named Cutesy. I showed her the episode and she loved it. Made both of us cry.
This is my two year old’s favorite episode, I’ve probably watched it 30+ times at this point, I still cry almost every time I watch it
This is my favorite episode. It makes me cry every time. My youngest is about to turn 4 and tries to sleep in her big girl bed all night.
