- Movies is a very good and bad episode for the exact same reason, as odd as that sounds.

Funny enough when I backseat watched this with kids (school) a lot of them said "Ugh Bingo is so annoying I would never act that way", "Bingo is being very rude she should know better". Maybe this was made to show a bad example of how to behave at the movie theater. Kid learn by example and a bad example can be useful at times.
Kids are kids, so I can understand why Bingo would act that way, and it’s realistic for many children. It’s moreso the moral that I find shaky here.
Funnily enough, when I watched the episode, I didn't think about Bingo being out of character or annoying, I just thought of it as showing to kids misbehaving in theaters in general.
@@TheAlphaJayShow Probably at around 2-3 years old, but psychologically, the way she acted was more like she genuinely thought the theater was a playground or amusement park. but as kids will gather from a show exactly what's presented to them, it's kind of up to the show writers to explain that more clearly. Yeah having a bit of discipline and letting Bingo realize she was wrong to mess around because she thought it was a playground and didn't understand it was a place for quiet good behavior would've made this one of the stronger episodes. I think more so the reason people are upset with Bingo's behavior is becasue in this day and age, we see more and more parents letting thier kids destroy stuff and use the "they're just children!" excuse when from our generation, if I acted that way, better believe I'd feel that painful sting on my leg and learn the hard way that's not how you act in a public area. There just comes a point where the writers need to address these things properly, or else it'll lead to the target audience seeing the worse in every character, the very thing you said they were trying to avoid by not having Bandit scold her. Ironically.
@@MarioMastar To be fair, Bandit did tell her to stop a few times
@@zierragacha5089 but there was no actual punishment. My parents act this way towards my little sister (same age as Bingo) and brother, and I hate it. I've always been spoiled but at least I understood how to act because I ACTUALLY got scolded instead of being told "stop" a few times. I understand both sides, but as someone who has experience with parents not wanting to set boundaries with their kids, this episode isn't the best example. Yes, parents should explain to their kids that this behavior isn't okay, but the show is also a model to many kids and even adults. Even if some kids understand that the behavior isn't okay, others may not.
I don't understand why it would receive so much backlash though, because, again, I understand both sides. Tell your kids that the behavior isn't okay and maybe don't put that episode on again??
I just realized. why aren’t these parents calmly explaining to their kids about why Bingos theater behavior is inappropriate instead of clutching their pearls at it.
That’s what should have happened. I get the anger but this wasn’t worth it.
It’s reddit, you know who the users there are and that there’s barely any parents
Also, parents dont parent anymore today and rather shove ipads at kids so they both can doomscroll tiktok
@@user-10021 oh dang I should have known. this is the same reddit that has R/gachagaming mod discrimination against Wuthering Waves.
One of the comments was literally a parent describing how they personally explained to their child that Bingo's behavior was inappropriate in real life.
This sounds like a silly assumption to make on your part, honestly.
I watched this with my nieces (yeah I'm using them as an excuse to watch Bluey) aged 5 and 3, explained to them (especially the 5 year old) how Bingo's behaviour was inappropriate and that if they are ever taken to the movies how they would need to be well behaved.
Every show has a " bad" episode or season. This episode wasn't bad. I kinda feel for Bandit. Dealing with two kids with different issues at the same time can be stressful.
Extremely stressful especially at that age
Yeah but it's up to the writers (who are all adults and should know better) to make that point clear. Make it clear that boundaries need to be set, that decisions need to be made and that as a parent, the responsibility of the kids is on you to figure out what to do and how to handle it. Bandit genuinely believed she was at a playground or amusement park, not a place where she needs to sit still and behave herself. This could've been a chance for her father to pull her aside (gently) and sit down and tell her "Listen Bingo, I know you want to have fun but there are times were we need to sit down and behave ourselves. Otherwise you could make someone really upset and could get really hurt. Say if you can sit still for a few minutes, I'll take you to the playground and you can run around all you want until your tired okay? But here, I need you to behave, can you do that for me?"
a simple scene like that is all it'd take. the only reason it was written this way is because it's "funny" to see a kid act up and a scared parent tirelessly trying to keep them under control, but this ain't Ed Edd and Eddy where it's supposed to be silly and zaney. People take this show seriously enough that it genuinely hurts the reputation of the characters. a good writer should know this.
I choose to interpret this episode as purposely showing what NOT to do when bringing small children to the movie theater
@@MarioMastar Excuse you, but this is clearly supposed to be how NOT to behave. Don't blame the writers. I get it'd take a single scene, but they are on a time limit for an entire season AND fans wanting everything perfect AND make important lessons.
Imagine you in that place. If you couldn't handle that stress, why should they? Lay back a little. It's just a TV show.
And seriously, it would take a 2 min or less Convo to tell your kids that you shouldn't do that. Easy.
Stop blaming the writers; blame yourself for not telling your kids not to do that.
With all due respect, goodbye.
This episode has proved to me that Bluey & Bingo are both potentially on the autism spectrum, both having different issues though. Bluey is afraid when a “scary” part of the movie comes on & is sensitive to loud noises, she also questions every little thing that happens in the movie (I did that a lot when I was her age & older), & bingo is really rowdy & just wants to run around to help her feel better & stimulated, kinda causing a bit of a ruckus. I say all of this because I’m autistic & I can just see both of their behaviors from a neurodivergent point of view.
I have a four year old and we went to see Sonic the hedgehog 3. He only was loud once or twice because he was excited about what was happening in the movie but other than that he was very well behaved. He had a blast for his first movie. Honestly at the end of the day it is a kids show and is trying to entertain. Just tell your kid that this kind of behavior isn't okay in real life and move on.
@@FunnyBunny161 I have to give you a good parent award for taking your kid to see Sonic The Hedgehog 3 instead of that garbage which is Mufasa.
@@SonicMovie3HypeGuy True
based first movie pick
I think I heard yall while I watched it. Alamo drafthouse? Or no.
@@SonicMovie3HypeGuy Aww thanks. I have loved sonic since I was a kid. Getting to see this movie with my son was amazing.
The moral for Bingo definitely should have been something like “Maybe you’re just a little too young for theatres” or “We’ll try again when you’re a bit bigger” or something. I feel like the episode would have been less controversial if they just clarified that what Bingo did wasn’t ok
YES! THIS! Bandit could have said "We'll try again when you're a little older" and it would have been perfect
I feel like this was an episode where we needed both parents or even an Uncle Stripe or Aunt Trixie as an alt. Like, could've even shown Bingo an example like "Hey, look *even Muffin* knows how to sit still during a movie." or even have a dual POV where Trixie took Muffin and Bingo to a different movie and had to give them that lesson, while Bandit had to tend to Bluey.
And the worse thing is she was being forced to go even tho she said she didn’t want to go
Bandit should’ve got Frisky and Rad to babysit
@@ChillBunny2024 I agree. If Bandit could afford all that popcorn, he can afford to hire a babysitter for Bingo.
@@ChillBunny2024 Or dropped her off at Leela's
As someone with a child in the age range of Bluey and Bingo, I used the episode as a teaching moment on how youre supposed to behave in theaters. She behaves perfectly in theaters now, but when she was 3 it was a little rough. Sometimes having your kid explain why the behavior the kid in the show is doing is bad can help them understand why they shouldnt do it
Honestly That’s what I would do
@@Prof9299 its almost like this show can't raise kids on its own and expects parents to be doing so? maybe I'm just sick of them but to me everyone that's complaining about this isn't actually raising their children and expects the TV to do it
4:11 sensory friendly screenings are not child screenings, they're ment for those with sensory issues like autism, having a child running around being loud defeats the purpose of it being calm and sensory friendly. Idk why but that comment really bugged me lol
Thinking the same thing as someone with autism. Bingo would be a sensory nightmare
@@SilversSpecialTime I know right, I'm autistic too and even tho I love bingo she would stress me out so much irl 😭
I was waiting for someone to say this! Also the Bluey portion of the plot centers around her fear of flashing lights and loud noises- which wouldn't be an issue for the sensory-friendly cut of the movie (Photosensitive people like me had to go to sensory friendly theaters to watch Spiderverse where they reduced the flashing effects as much as they could)
Yes! There is a gross misunderstanding of what sensory friendly movies are. I used to go to a lot of sensory friendly screenings, and people of all ages were there. There shouldn't be any shame in going to one as an adult, just be mindful of how you or your companions act. If people mistake it for "kids only" and see it as a free pass for their kids to be rambunctious, it takes away the sensory friendly aspect.
Exactly, I don't understand what's so hard to grasp
Bingo is an adorable cinnamon roll in general, but as someone who works in a movie theater, seeing her misbehave gave me flashbacks 😂😂
Bingo is a good character but if this was someone's first impression...yeah lol
@TheAlphaJayShow I can understand that reaction if this was the first episode of Bluey someone watched. However, there are plenty of better Bingo episodes, like Sleepytime.
@@TheAlphaJayShow It's a shame too cause it seems the writers weren't considering that and pretty much framed the whole thing at the expense of Bandit for the sake of comedy. She seems adorable and innocent coming from a guy who has NEVER seen or even heard of Bluey outside of memes on twitter (this is literally the first time I ever heard thier voices), but this is definitely a case of "The writers messed up, not the characters". as you can tell what KIND of episode they were going for, but if Bingo was acting this way at home, it'd be perfectly fine to expect her to want to play while her sister is watching the movie. making the setting a movie theater though only makes Bandit look irresponsible. That little change is all they'd need to do to make the episode fine. Just have it take place at their house and Bandit brought home a DvD for Bluey to watch, then have it play out exactly the same with Bandit merely stressing that he wants Bingo to sit while they watch the movie but Bingo's just not interested in the movie after all. THEN his "Just be yourself" thing will hit better cause now we know Bingo doesn't care for movies and forcing her to sit down and watch it is just not what she wants.
I feel like the creators wanted the Bingo part in this episode to be just funny, and didint think, that kids waching can immitate this behaviors
No Bluey is better than bingo
We NEED episodes like this, especially as parents. Parents aren't perfect and neither are Bandit and Chili. Tbh he probably would've left the movie if it was just himself and Bingo, but he didn't want to punish Bluey for Bingo being naughty.
as a child, if I acted out while at a movie, we would go home even if my sister was behaving well. It was a very good way to make me not want to act out because then I'd feel bad for my sister. Guilt works surprisingly well.
@@Funware.mp3 Its nice that you have good respect for your sister's well being.
@WarioMan_Studios Thank you, she means a lot to me.
I can get why people would be upset about Bingo’s behavior here, but to me I’d rather have the parents just tell their kids that her behavior shouldn’t be replicated than making a big fuss about it
Lol imagine Disney+ puts a disclaimer at the beginning of this episode.
Just have the adult in story do that? Story wise it’s wild to have a character misbehave without them at least being told “dont act like that again” or something, or have it explained why it’s wrong. Or at the very least, not reinforce the behavior by the dad saying “Just be yourself”
Yes, parents SHOULD actually be the ones teaching their kids, unfortunately, not all parents do that, so for kids who are just watching this stuff on their own, there’s no one to teach them that acting this way is bad.
Ikr, and I understand Bingo's point of view as well. Kids get distracted and have shorter attention spans than adults, don't have kids if you can't understand their needs and feelings. I don't blame age either, I'm 22 and I remember what it was like being a kid, but my grandma could understand kids a lot too. I feel like some parents just have kids on accident
@@thatextrovertartist5474 bandit did told bingo multiple times "don't do that"
What's the "big fuss"? It barely takes any time to write a tweet or comment. Not to mention you're pushing a false dichotomy. You can easily talk to your kids about it after um making a "big fuss" or in other words writing one comment online.
I agree Bingo only wanted to go because Bluey was. Most likely acting up due to boredom.
Also there's a chance that Chilli was at work so Bingo couldn't be left alone by herself
@@sarahtelles1931 yeah most likely a last moment thing or just couldn't find a sitter
Pretty much
Pretty relatable. I'm sure we've had a younger sibling who wanted to go someplace where their older sibling was going. I was one of those younger siblings.
As a younger chided I can 50% agree with this! If I go alone I’ll be bored but if I go with my sister I’ll be less likely be bored!
When I was a kid, my mom (when she was alive) and I was at Bush Gardens. When we were in the middle of the line for the roller coaster called The Python I felt like wanting to go to the restrooms. Since she's not here to explain anything, I believe that when she noticed this "visit" happening more than once, she reassured me that it was probably nerves, "Chris, we're gonna ride this once. If you don't like it after the ride ends, I won't force you."
I remember everything she said and/or done that sticks to me the most...
[Mom, if you can read this from Heaven (if they have WI-FI), thanks for my rollercoaster. I love and miss you.]
I heard somebody mention that coaster at Busch Gardens (though I remember it being called the Anaconda) and saying that it was taken down to too much whiplash or something that was causing injuries to the riders.
I'm sorry for your loss, hope you're ok now.
I'm sorry for your loss. And I'd like to think Heaven has the best Wi-Fi, smooth and not a single interruption ❤
1) sorry for your loss.
2) hey, I also went to bush gardens!
Sorry for your loss
I actually relate to this episode. When I was little I was overly sensitive to loud noises, mostly at the movies when I stuff napkins in my ears to lower the volume. But as I got older I love going to the movies more then anything
The Bluey portion is very relatable
I remember my parents saying they took me to see Aladdin in theaters but we had to leave because I was to sensitive to loud noise. Still am, but went to my fair share of movies with no problem.
Not going to lie, I was a BIT scared for the Sonic Movie 3 since when I watched the prequel (The 2nd One), the sound effects were cramming themselves in your ears. Then again, the theaters were in separate states + it wasn't the same corporation so that probably explains why 1 theater is so loud but the other isn't.
I was sensitive to other toddlers screaming when I was a toddler, which kinda sucked because toddlers scream a lot. It made it hard for me to play with them because I wanted to, but their loudness spooked me. I don't remember any of this but I know because my mother told me. I also didn't really scream at that age and I think it's because I would have hurt my own ears.
@@belleroseelizabethsmith8148 I remember how overbearing loud noises were as a kid. I didn't like loud movie theaters or concerts because I could literally feel the vibrations in my ribs and hated it. I guess growing up and developing an adult frame has made that not happen anymore but I'm still not a fan of unnecessary loudness, it blocks me mentally.
a friend of mine went to a rated R scary movies in the middle of the night and she saw a mom bring 4 of her kids to it. They were clearly younger as 2 of them were sleeping while waiting in line and their youngest was crying during the movie. If Bandit was a bad parent for bringing his to kids a pg movie…what about that lady who brought her kids to a rated R movie?
I remember parents bringing little kids to Scary movie 3
While it’s a parody it’s still rated R/ unrated due to its adult jokes little kids won’t get
I saw Passion of the Christ when it came out, and some parents brought all their kids 😳
@@RyogachikOh I have terrible memories of seeing that when I was like 8. My teacher showed us that movie for Easter! I was totally traumatized
How did they get in is the better question? If your going to watch edgy stuff not intended for your age demographic, at least do it on your own time at home, not at a theater with an audience or even a small group.
We saw someone do that, when we went to see a movie as a kid. When she took her kids out of that theater crying (We saw her leaving it as we were arriving) my mom couldn't resist the urge to parent shame.
She gave her such a dressing down lmao
Wow, i guess even the most friendlest shows can have an episode that sparks debate for the parents....
Every show always has THAT ONE episode.
It very much surprised me.
@@Aego384 The Great Divide vibes. Or It's a wishful life. Or Arnold betrays Iggy. Or (maybe less controversial, only early seasons) Grandma's kisses
Especially with children's anime like Doraemon.
I was surprised considering the last episode’s parents were saying the same thing was too asparagus & Tina. Even ludo made a jab at the episode in show and tell. As if it was an alternate episode for the same lesson.
I for one like the second moral where Bluey was willing to leave her comfort zone to enjoy a new kind of fun that wouldn’t hurt her.
A lot of growth comes from leaving your comfort zone 🙏
What Bingo could have or should have been told was: "Be yourself, but also behave yourself" lol.
Also, I can't help but feel the film Bluey is watching having this message of someone learning to be themselves despite what others may think is a commentary on how common that trope is in kids media, especially with the dad telling Bluey that he is pretty sure people will like that the monkey is different by the end lol 🤔.
Even Bandit bemoaning "No, there's SONGS."
or even "be aware of other people. Like just because you want to run around doesn't mean you get to ruin the movie for everyone else"
Once again have to give this show credit for its lack of gender indicators, not every girl character needs a pink bow.
Or pronounced eyelashes. Or curves.
Honestly I kind of find that even more mysognynistic, because lately, a large thing that people have been doing is reducing feminine features on characters to make them look more gender neutral cause it offends men who don't have "defining features", yet you rarely see the opposite happen, adding eyelashes to male characters and giving them curvy bodies to show that people are allowed to look attractive if they desire regardless of gender. The neutering of the female body feels like a way to b8stardize women making it even more offensive. There's NOTHING...I repeat NOTHING wrong with a woman wanting to dress up and look attractive. NOTHING wrong with a girl wanting to wear a bow on her head. NOTHING wrong with women having breasts. and we need to stop that foolishness...ESPECIALLY in kids shows where children are practically being told they can't suck their mother's tits cause "boys don't have tits so it's not fair" or "it's sexist". THey literally are the reason we're f8cking ALIVE! Next we're going to tell women they can't give birth and MUST get c-sections because babies can't fit through the penis. we do NOT want to send that message to kids when abuse of women has been bad enough for the past 4000 YEARS!
@@lesterwilliamsjr649 you can’t even tell it’s honestly kinda shitty with peppa pig you can tell which is the better show in my opinion
@idontknowwhattocallmyaccou349 You wouldn't even be able to tell if it wasn't normalized.
@@idontknowwhattocallmyaccou349 So you want gender indicators? Why?
You do realize indicators enforce a bed message about men being the default and women being the alternate?
It's because of this idea you have girls who are pressured to dress girly so people never mistake men for a boy.
Just, because Bluey is a show that teaches kids’ morals doesn’t mean that they have to teach kids in EVERY episode
that is actually a pretty fair statement.
Yeah, that's the audience having way too high of an exception for the show.
Ngl she wasnt even a bad ep bingo just is a kid and has alot of energy
They chose to though. They made a conscious decision to teach a bad lesson in this episode. You're using the same strawman Teen Titans Go's writers do. If you don't wanna teach a lesson, don't.
@@D_YellowMadnessthey literally didn’t tho. And if you feel they did the solution is to teach your kids what you think the correct moral is
I always thought the moral of this story was more along the lines of: Kids need to learn the easy lessons in ways digestible to them.
How Bandit is clearly bored and tired throughout the entire movie but the message does help the person it was made for: Bluey
I truly believe it was meant as an episode parents can have a chat with their kids about, and an episode to give parent a little warning like, "Hey, if you're bringing your younger children to the movie theater, think about bringing your Partner, a Friend, or a Grandparent for some extra help," or maybe wait a little longer for your kid like Bingo to grow up a little.
I remember being in bingo's position when I first went to a theater. Never got to finish Casper cuz we ended up leaving.
Bingo being the hyperactive one in the ep always made me wonder if she got her first taste of caffeine or something before they got there.
Did you ever end up watching Casper in full one day?
@TheAlphaJayShow Know what? No I didn't. Turned out I just really didn't like it that much. Tried again on a VHS rental and I guess I didn't watch it cuz I didn't remember anything about it when I saw a Nostalgia critic vid on it years later.
That “can I keep you” line is creepy af
@@thehedgehograpper I remember specifically we left during that part where Casper was doing a superman impression and the girl fell off the balcony. I think that scared me for some reason.
4 year Olds. Ha.
@ one movie that scared the shit out of me was Brave when the evil bear Mordu tries to kill Merida
Edit: we did not leave the theater but that will forever be a core memory
I swear, when I saw Moana 2 with my family, there were two kids behind us that 👏WOULDN’T👏SHUT👏UP👏. They were loud as hell yet their parents didn’t do anything about it, the dad was sleeping and the mom was just clutching her nonexistent balls at telling them to stop.
I’m sorry to hear that
@dannyboi830 idk if this is just a coincidence but that sounded like my sister and her friend when we were watching moana 2
@ it was horrible
@ 🤷♂️
Why did you go to moana 2?
As someone who was raised oldschool, my heart goes out to Bandit in some extent, other times he brings this stuff to himself that Chilly even pointed out in a few episodes. There are indeed some bad moments in the show that has made me go, "really?", like Stripe and Trixi and their ways of parenting, you can see the stark difference between Bluey, Bingo, and their cousins in how they're raised. Just this one in particular hit me hard in my wallet, and it hurts.
As much as I can agree on said folks saying how they don't want their kids to behave the way bingo behaves at this one movie, that is something most parents need to teach and remind kids about if going to any movie, they cannot sing along, they cannot talk in the middle of the film, no kicking the seat in front of you, and be ready to be sitting at your spot for roughly 2-3 hours. It's okay to ask to go to the restroom, but remember that other people are trying to watch this film.
With that said, I didn't have too much of an issue with this episode given how this is mostly meant to be about Bluey trying to fight her fear of thunder. And hilariously the movie acts one to one similar to what Bluey is experiencing at this moment. Chimpy wants to be on the ground while Bluey wants to see a movie for the 1st time. Bluey is scared of the idea of seeing lighting and loud thunder sounds in a big theater screening because much like in being at home (or on a car ride) if your in the middle of a huge rain storm with possible chance of lighting and thunder, there's a chance of random huge thunder (or quiet) sounds of thunder happening. But on the big movie screen it can be loud and having sensitive ears will hurt even as minor as just the music picking up very loudly for any action scenes.
That is an excellent point about parents needing to teach their kids how to behave, and as much as Bluey is for kids it's also for the parents to watch & learn from with them as well so this is a reminder for them to teach their kids appropriate behaviour from inappropriate.
I don’t wanna call this episode “bad” just because it teaches a somewhat grey moral given the context. I’d call it realistic like the rest of the show can be at times. This is a pretty realistic take on how some kids can be when going to the theaters. Sure it might be a bit exaggerated when it comes to Bingo’s antics as I don’t think most parents in Bandit’s position would allow their child to be THAT unruly. But he was doing the best he could without making a scene. And it makes him much more sympathetic for it. I would imagine it would be pretty difficult to manage one kid who’s being wild and one kid who is emotionally vulnerable at the moment. And I think it’s good that this episode is clearly trying to put more responsibility on the parents for ya know, parenting their children. By having Bingo act out this way, they put more responsibility on the parents by drilling it into their children that it’s NOT always ok to act like this, or by choosing to not to show the episode to their kids. Overall I feel like the backlash to the episode is not due to the episode’s quality but due to the common occurance of parents not wanting to do their jobs.
I thought that the episode was okay. Not amazing or bad as people claim to be, but I can digest it enough.
I thought the episode was good and realistic but the parents concerns are valid because the moral message of it not being okay for Bingo to act like this wasn't poignant enough.
Personally, I can’t help but think the other parents were enjoying watching Bandit running around after Bingo better then the actual movie.
Makes sense it's a kids movie after all. The parents need some entertainment
@ part of the reason I like this episode.
Also Bingo fluffing herself under the blow dryer is top tier kek.
That movie seemed pretty run of the mill lmao
@@TheAlphaJayShow I like Bandit kind of casually spoiling the movie about “I’m sure in the end, everyone’s going to be GLAD the chimp was different.”
This isn’t his first kids movie, even if it’s his first time bringing both to the theater.
all fun and games until the adult falls and the theater has to call an ambulance...true story
5:51 Say what you want about this episode, but Bingo under the hand dryer is one of her best moments for me. 🤣
@@Cure_Hana Same. It makes me laugh every time 😂
Heheheheeheeee hedgehog
This is actually my favorite episode. I was like Bluey as a kid, being different and finding comfort in stories/characters who were also different. I still do now. And as far as Bingo goes, yes she was acting up and i dont condone it. But folks have a tendency to put Bingo on a pedestal and paint Bluey as the "misbehaved" one. This episode is a reminder that both girls (and all children) are gonna have their good moments and bad moments. Both sides of the coin need to be acknowledged and handled accordingly.
Upvoting this comment, that is an amazing point you make 😁
Seriously, find me a single four year old who doesn't have an occasional bratty moment or off day. Bingo is a wonderful kid and a great character, but she isn't perfect; no one on Bluey is presented as perfect.
@tinkerhell-kj3mv Exactly. I've had to deal with fully grown adults having tantrums over the most miniscule things, so expecting picture-perfect behavior from a child (who's still learning) is hypocritical. Not to say don't correct bad behavior but people need to be realistic about how kids act.
Interesting. I took this episode’s sentiment to figuratively mean “let kids be kids, that includes the ones who are sensitive or hyper” but ig one could take it more literally to mean act up a whole lot in a movie theater lol. Also, for what it’s worth, not sure if this is one of them but there are times where it’s just a matter of cultural differences.
There’s a lot of merit to letting kids be kids. That’s a fair point.
The thing is about hyperactive children that them being hyperactive can be detrimental to sensitive children. Which is brought up here in the video. If it was a sensory screening what about all of the kids who have sensory issues? Like Bluey herself
@aduckofsomesort like I said, I didn’t really take it super literal so I’ve no idea. I will say that nothing stood out to me that painted the theater they were in as part of a sensory screening so I can’t say that’s what was happening, especially since Bandit casually asks the guy at concessions if there’s anything potentially scary to some little kids. Pretty sure that would be covered without having to ask if it was part of a special experience like that. But that’s just my opinion.
What would have been interesting is that the moment Bingo broke the display, Bandit takes the kids home. Bluey is upset at Bingo for it and Bandit has to explain consequences. That would have made a great episode. It will teach Bluey to forgive, it would teach Bingo that there are other pro think about and try not hurt others with her actions. It would alleviate a child friendly way to say we all make mistakes and that’s okay as long as we learn from them and try again. It would end with them again going to the movies, Bingo runs to the sign but stops and says this is not right takes a deep breath and joins the family again.
@@MrSophire we've already gotten episodes about Bluey learning to forgive. That isn't a lesson she needs to exactly learn again, especially since the point of the episode was that even if you're different, that's okay because there will be people who love that about you. That's why Bingo was acting out, to prove the point. Bluey was different in the sense she was anxious and scared, Bingo was different because she couldn't sit still and stay quiet. But in the end, Bandit loves them both and they both found acceptance and patience for who they are.
Changing the whole point of the episode just because yall think kids need to be spoon fed knowledge on how to behave isn't necessary
Most of the time, parents don't want their kids watching Bluey because sometimes they have misbehaving moments, thinking that setting a bad example for kids
At least Bluey isn’t as much of a brat as Little Brown Bear, DW Read or Caillou. But yeah, I do wish that it showed the characters getting consequences to teach the children watching it that actions have consequences. That said, I’m not asking for it to show the characters being spanked or anything. Sometimes they do show the natural consequences like having to clean something up is a good one, and talking things out with the kids is helpful too. But realistically, kids don’t always WANT to listen to reason. That’s when you have to put the foot down and discipline beyond a “good talking to”.
I guess I can understand that if the episode involves Muffin, as she's the spoiled kid who the parents don't know how to raise properly. However, there are moments where she does get what's coming to her, like in the Facetalk episode.
@foxtoons1999 I absolutely hate those characters, but I don't know little Brown Bear
That's the problem adults act like kids are just going to copy everything they see a cartoon character do that is not the case children have more common sense than adults do.
The problem for many is not that they misbehave, but that they get away with it with minimal repercussions
I do agree with the points that the adults are making about this episode. However, my main gripe with the episode is that it feels like it is trying to push one lesson (for Bluey) while there are two active problems (Bluey's fear and Bingo's disruption) in this episode.
I love the lesson for Bluey of just being yourself and you don't need to prove that you can do the things like others can if you feel that you're not ready.
For Bingo, yeah she basically has gotten no lesson. This could have been fixed a tiny bit if Bandit didn't say "just be yourself" when Bingo was just, you know...
Removing Bingo from the episode would be much better, at least to me.
Hate double commenting but I also think the episode does have an important lesson for parents as well about how media can help kids.
Bandit's dismissal of the lessons of the movie make sense because he's probably heard it a thousand times by now, probably in far darker stories cuz he's an 80s kid. Bluey is experiencing this for the first time and to her a story with a little more peril than she might be used to seeing on TV giving a lesson about overcoming fear through your own power and self can have a much stronger impact. Especially when she and Chunky's words line up.
Bluey is as much a show about parenting as it is about teaching kids lessons, so getting that message to parents is a pretty important one.
My sister is constantly being taught responsibilities and we try to calm her down but she’s really excited and energetic. Especially when we went to watch Moana 2, she was constantly talking because she was excited and talks instead of thinks. Like “where did Moana go? What happened?” And gasps and laughs, which most of the people in the movie theater found it okay, which THANK GOD.. but my point is that young kids with a lot of energy will try to listen for a bit but will immediately forget when they get excited again. My cousin is also similar to Bingo, except he’s older, he runs around and he talks loudly and screams loudly and gets excited over little things, but it’s okay because he can’t really control that.
90% sure my sister has ADHD or smth , I know my cousin does tho!
Bluey having a bad episode?
That’s impossible
That's what I said while reading the thread
@@Ihartwalrusguy you say that like every Bluey episode is bad.
@@PJ_Wendigo Nah, they're refering to how they're surprised Bluey has a bad episode
It reminds me of how the Doraemon fandom was like when they first discovered "I Saw a Ghost" (don't bother looking that episode up, it sucks ass)
Bluey has done the impossible.
This episode is hated just because there're parents with 0% patient and without kids.
When kids are being kids, the world gets red of anger NOWADAYS. Its sad
This seems like the type of issue with people not liking Muffin. It's important to keep in mind the age that Bingo and Muffin are, developmentally they are at a stage where impulsiveness should be expected and I think that's what they were kinda going for here. Many parents discipline their younger children because of behaviors that are developmentally appropriate for their age because they aren't developmentally at a stage where they can improve yet. The show is pretty good about showing understanding to that kind of behavior because a lot of children can struggle with following directions and it's not because they're being a bad kid but just that they're being a kid.
I just had a flight recently and I had a very young child sitting in the seat behind me. The 4 hour flight the child occasionally cried, was loud, and kicked the back of my seat. I think a lot of people would be very judgmental of the mother in this kind of situation when she did the best she could to get her child to behave. The only solution you really have as a parent(which I am not btw) is to not bring your young child into spaces where they can be disruptive and I don't think that's a very fair mentality to have all the time. For something like a animated kids film I would expect there to be kids like that at the theater as well. The kid on my flight was a little disruptive sure but I think people should be more personally accommodating given the age range. If the kid on my flight was older, ofc I'd probably have asked the mother if she could get the kid to stop kicking my seat or something but it's not really her or her kids fault and it really wasn't that bad on my end. Bingo's actions were exaggerated for this episode but I think the main takeaway I had was similar to that, like Bandit isn't a bad parent imo for being forgiving towards her behavior, if anything she's probably just not ready for the theater experience. I think too it's probably a bit of an assumption on Bandit's part that she'd be ok as in most episodes she usually isn't this hyper, I could see it being the type of thing where he wasn't expecting her to behave this way in the first place and it's probably something he'd keep in mind in the future. It's not like parents can always predict how their child will react to a new experience.
Repulsive furry.
So correct - three and four year olds aren't miniature adults. Their brains are very different and developing rapidly. They're going to behave in ways that aren't acceptable to adults sometimes. They're literally supposed to; how else do they learn what boundaries are?
I don't remember Bingo acting out as much in the theater episode... I just remember Bluey was scared of seeing this movie and I liked that "Not every kid is ready to see movies, just because another kid enjoyed the movie, doesn't mean every kid will". I actually loved that message, as someone who grew up on mostly cartoons.
also, to the parents who don't bring their kids to kids movies and expect them to behave and sit down, STOP BRINGING THEM TO MOVIES! You can't make a -3-5 year old sit for an hour in 40 minutes to a movie that might have a story that they fully don't understand. They can probably watch SpongeBob or something for an hour and 40 minutes because those are easy-to-follow stories that they somehow cram into 13 minute episodes. When I was a kid and went to see both Up and Ice Age 3 in theaters (I was probably around 6 when I saw both) I got distracted by other kids in the theater, like I would rather play with them than watch the movie (Up is a beautiful movie btw, and I don't remember much from Ice Age 3, I was just too young for them). I was one of those kids who watched cartoons and didn't have the attention span for movies, at least at that age I didn't.
@@jocelynecupcake I think it depends on personality of the child. I was about three when I went to a theater for the first time and was completely quiet and respectful but that’s due to the personality that I had as a very young child. If a parent has a more calm and quiet young child it might be better than a parent who has a more energy filled child. Then again I was also a special case as I was an autistic toddler and was normally quiet and stuff anyways but you get my point. Personality of the kid matters when it comes to things like this more than age itself.
@IvyCoveredAngel i was calm most of the time I got bored easily, and I was an only child. Plus, I wasn't used to watching movies
Wow, I was not expecting my Reddit post to be used like this. Thank you!
Nice to see some fans in the subreddit ✨
Also I believe parents forget but the show is called Bluey, kids can recall the lesson based on the memory association of the name of the show, and because the noises where just as loud as they were in the movie theater they auditory memory will be similar to what Bluey experienced rather than Bingo, add in the fact that the movie would become the show every now and then so you associate the episode more with Bluey's Lesson rather than Bingo's choice of coping with Boredom. It's also pretty obvious that Bingo isn't being a thoughtful person at the beginning of the episode, and is also only along for the ride, when I was a kid I would've got so irritated knowing I was brought to the movie theaters just to watch my little sister make noise and run around in front the screen while I'm already worried. Too much stress it's obvious that there's more than one meaning there, kids aren't dumb and it sucks that parents would cut off a kid from one episode of Bluey but won't hyper-monitor what their kids watch on TH-cam Kids, they grew up with Ren and Stimpy and weird Disney Channel shows and Nickelodeon, one Bluey Episode and a Lecture is less than child's play it's practically as simple as skipping a rock. I've taught my siblings and cousins to speak, read, to do math, and to be kind, it's just another lesson they have to learn, what happened to better late than never lol.
This is my first time seeing any kind of controversy around a Bluey episode like this. Watching it felt like a roller coaster because I was really trying to justify and defend it-I love Bluey! It’s such an amazing show, unorthodox and out of the box, a breath of fresh air with its vibrant storytelling. It teaches children about real-world experiences but often leaves open-ended lessons for parents to fill in the gaps.
I appreciated the takeaway at the end: “just be yourself.” But, let’s be honest, that’s a shaky thing to teach. Yes, kids should be themselves, but they also need to learn how to respect those around them. You want them to shine without feeling like they have to dull themselves down for others, but they also need to understand socially acceptable norms-like how to act in a movie theater.
It’s a delicate balance, and instead of clutching your pearls or skipping the episode altogether, why not use it as a teaching moment? Pause it, explain the nuances: yes, be yourself, have fun, and embrace your childhood, but also understand how to act respectfully in certain situations.
The moral, wasn’t bingo’s behavior, it was bluey getting used to watching movies and well, being different.
6:11 I can understand where both sides are coming from - This episode is probably not very good for a show primarily targeted at kids (who don’t already understand the expectations and manners), but it would be an incredible episode FOR parents who can undoubtedly relate to this “my kid won’t behave and I don’t know what to do” situation.
Seems like a great one for the older teen/adult fans of this show, but not so much for young kids.
So people expected to sit and watch characters quietly watching a movie for 10 minutes? It's still a cartoon. Just teach your children instead of expecting the show to do it for you, man.
Sensory friendly screenings is not actually for kids, it’s for people who have sensory processing disorders and autism or adhd, mainly for children who have those disorders. It is not meant to be for random toddlers running around like its a playground. I’m an autistic adult and I don’t go to sensory friendly screenings because the kids moving and parents standing up from there seats alot which defeat the purpose of it
It wasn't a Sensory Friendly screening- it was a Mums and Bubs screening, specifically made for parents and small children who aren't great at sitting still or quietly.
@@gillybby4143 I was referring to this part at 4:07 where a reddit comment said that sensory friendly screenings are for kids and I wanted to clarify that it is not
5:51 bingo is adorable here
@@DoubleHCartoonFan57 AGREED

Reprobate furry.
I actually was in a theater watching the Mario movie and this baby and kid just starts crying and my friend got annoyed and said to them if they can “turn their kids off”ngl i laughed hard at that but then the parents just left the theater.
😂😂😂😂😂
I though the episode parents would skip is Tina. I can see where these people are coming from in this episode, Movies. I don't think I've ever had that experience in theaters before, aside of the crying from babies and a bit of chatter from other people but if I ever seen someone acting like Bingo had done during the episode, yeah I would a bit concerned for the parents. But to me personally, Bingo is such a funny and energetic kid. Yeah, maybe it was on Bandit for bringing Bingo along but what else was Bingo going to do at home?
Again I can understand where people are coming from for this episode but I think it's important to note that everyone has been through this or has experienced this and it's important to think that it's best not to be too hard on the kid.
That’s a great point. I def don’t hate or have harsh feelings for Bingo or Bandit. I’ve never been a father so I don’t want to make it seem like this specific experience would be easy to handle, but I would love to see the version of this episode where Bandit at least verbally and directly spoke more to empathy beyond Bluey.
@@TheAlphaJayShow That reminds me of this one time where Bandit did showed empathy more times when talking to Bingo. In the episode Yoga Ball, Bandit plays a little too rough with Bingo but he never realizes it after a few times Bingo just couldn’t speak up about her feelings. But luckily, Chili was outside and was able to help Bingo find her big girl bark. Later when Bingo and Chili went to Bandit’s work room together, Bingo was able to confront him about those times and Bandit was honest and understanding. He apologizes and even helped both of them understand what was rough playing and not. Maybe it’s not the same in Movies but Bandit shows much care for both oh his daughters and that’s what makes him and Chili the best parents in animation history!
I would just like to point out that the theater they are in is practically empty. I had to deal with many young children going to the theater, it most likely IS a kid showing, and there is really only one way to teach a child how to act in the theater amd that's to take them. It seems like Bandit was trying to train both girls at their own level how to deal with movies. It's not like he condones Bingo's behavior, the other members in the theater seem to understand.
I don’t watch bluey, but I’m a student teacher(yes, I’m still technically a minor) for a kindergarten class, the other student teacher put this on for the class and we could tell they were getting bad ideas, so I had to go around and tell the kindergarteners not to act like that.
@5:48 in Bandits defence when you're tired and frazzled from dealing with 2 kids by yourself you don't handle every situation as you could/should. That's why I love this show - relatable
This bluey episode was fine but not terrible
I can see that episodes like Charades and Tina are not the only hated episodes from the show.
I can honestly compare this to the Obstacle Course episode due to pretty similar flaws
Not a parent, I just have a little brother who watches bingo so I watch with him all the time. I think a lot of people misunderstand what the moral of bingo's portion of the episode was. To me, what I took away from it was that parents should be aware and accepting of children's incapabilities rather than telling them off for doing the socially wrong thing. You can see this with bingo running around, being a small child, and causing trouble, and Bandit trying to get her to sit still and just watch the movie. At the end he allows her to play with the seat, something he instructed her not to do at first. This to me is a great message and would have made for a great episode if they hadn't used the particular setting they did. The movie theater was not a great choice, because there are other reasons to not act out in a movie theater that are not addressed in the episode. Maybe even if all bingo was doing was playing with the seat, that would have made for a good episode because it's a relatively harmless thing that you can do.
There is an example of an episode with a similar premise that in my opinion does much better: Charades. In this episode, bingo, bluey, socks, nana, and muffin are all playing a game of charades. When it comes to muffin's turn, she is upset because she wants to act out the ballerina card. She forces everyone to look for the ballerina card for her so that she can act it out. Obviously, if they give muffin the card, they'll all know what she is, and bluey points this out, but nana lets muffin break the rules. That's because the point of the game is not to follow the rules, it's to have fun, and if muffin is having fun this way then so be it. It has similar themes of disregarding social standards but is way better in my opinion because muffin "cheating" at charades doesn't infringe on anyone else's fun like bingo running and screaming in a movie theater does.
this is normal kid behavior; I have 3 siblings (I'm the oldest) and there all under the age of 10. the younger ones have watched this episode several times and my parents didn't care they know bluey is fine for them to watch so they don't go through every episode. only me and my brother (the 2 oldest) have been to movie theaters because we are old enough to understand that there is a time and place to be running around and 5 year-olds can't understand that I think these parents are seriously overreacting.
and remember to young children it's just some random thing they watch
Btw specking of movies we’re getting a Bluey movie in 2027!
It's like Pokemon: The First Movie all over again.
I took this episode as Bluey facing her fears and Bandit staying at the theater because he knew this wad important for Bluey, and chasing bingo was stressing him out so he just picked his battles. I know it’s annoying to have a kid running around and screaming, but leaving probably wouldn’t have taught bingo not to run around. It would’ve taught Bluey she has to leave a movie she was excited to see, and became brave enough to finish just because her sister couldn’t stay still. It’d probably hurt Bluey and cause her to feel less important than bingo.
I always understand that if youre going to see a kids film, targeted toward kids, you gotta at least be prepared for kids doing kid things. Especially on dates and times when kids are most likely to be there.
Things like;
-Talking.
-Being noisier than adults due to stronger reactions.
-Not being able to sit still/having to much energy to sit still for a long time.
-annoying baby crying noises (this is when the adult should leave with them out of respect to other cinema-goers.)
-running around (either before or after the film, it shouldnt be during it.)
- people leaving their seats during the film, potentially coming back but also potentially not returning (for whatever reasons 🤷♀️)
I recently found out that the cinema near me (in the uk) does the occasional really late at night 18+ only showings of kids films. For those who dont want to deal with kids being kids.
Easy fix. Have bandit talk to Bingo about the proper way to behave in the theatre during the trip to the bathroom. Show her struggling to sit still to the point where she's too distracted to watch the movie. When Bluey asks to watch it again at the end have bingo interject and say she'd rather do something more active and have Bandit promise Bluey to rent the movie or get it on a streaming service when it comes out as a compromise for not watching it a second time. There, I just saved Bandit from wasting another $50.
As a parent yes this episode did bother me a little, but I agree, just communicate with your kids. Another one I had issue with wsd the ice cream episode where their ice cream melts and bandit just gives them more. So much for “an important life lesson”. It was rewarding negative behavior. But the show most of the time does well.
This is the sort of thing a lot of parents go through. Finding out your child's not old enough for certain things is actually pretty common. Whether it'd be movies, restaurants, holidays, etc. What I like about Bluey is they're not just talking to children but to adults as well. Seeing this will tell parents that doing something like this too early could cause this sort of embarrassment but also showing those who have made this mistake that they're not the only one. And of course, it's okay to make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, including parents. Nobody's perfect and Bluey is brilliant at normalizing this.

My main problem with this episode is that it’s out of character for bingo to the acting that disruptive since normally she’s not that silly

I used to work at a movie theater and you’d be surprised how many parents let their kids just run around acting like this and not doing anything. I had to tell a parent TWICE to keep their kid from messing with the “push to open” button, and even then the kid kept pressing and forcing the door shut to open again, while the two parents talked to each other not paying any attention.
I finally got the kid to stop by just standing at the door and staring at him, daring him to do it again.
One time when I was at a theater, two boys were chasing each other and my mom had to yell to get them to sit back down. They did and the people in the back thanked her
Between this and the discourse about the ending of The Sign, really seems like some parents would rather have the show do the heavy lifting rather than actually parenting
Sure, it's ok to let kids be themselves WHEN THEY CAN! But it's also important to teach kids that acting out like this in a public setting (A movie theatre in this case) is not only rude and annoying. But can also be dangerous to them ESPECIALLY when acting like this near big, dangerous objects and other "certain" people
I now understand how parents are upset with this Bluey episode because this episode is literally teaching young kids how to be disruptive and rude in a movie theater. “Being yourself” is a good thing but letting a little kid do whatever he or she wants in public is a bad thing. That’s really BAD parenting!
As someone with a cousin who loves bluey my least favorite moral is the episode “pass around” might not be the exact name but the episode revolves around a game where they unwrap a gift Wich was originally supposed to only have one gift but they added multiple, it felt like the moral was just “reject tradition” Wich in my opinion is the worst moral in the show but tell Wich one you thinks the worst or if the moral I mentioned is actually good
They changed it back to how it was originally played throughout the episode, but I see where you’re coming from.
Do they not play 'pass the parcel' where you live? It's a pretty common game in Australia.
To me the moral was very clearly that children can handle difficult emotions. The parents at first didn't want to do it the way Pat/Lucky's Dad did because they didn't want to upset to kids, making sure they all get a prize of equal value. But in the end the kids had fun, and got over their disappointment not getting a gift.
Also your reading, no offense, doesn't make any sense. Because the way the kids ended up playing it IS the traditional way. So the lesson following your logic would be "embrace tradition" not "reject tradition." The version we are introduced to the kids playing is not the traditional way, it's the altered way to keep all the kids happy.
Sometimes they need a bad example to learn from.
Kids will learn how to not act when their parents tell them.
I love bluey❤ i never realize people didnt like this episode
Yeah, this episode kinda sucks
Feel like the episode would have been better if it showed two sides. Bluey having to learn to be herself and Bingo trying to learn to hold her true self back to be polite. Think the ending would have been great if Bandit told Bingo that she was being too much for a place she's meant to be quiet and that he loves her energy but in a place like a theatre she has to think about other people too.
Bingo might have a moment looking at all the other families and then deciding to try it. Sitting beside Bluey to actually give the movie itself a chance, maybe still rocking around on her chair to show she's still got all her energy but is holding it back just for while she's here to not ruin the fun for others.
Also would have been nice letting Bandit finally get a break after a full episode of running around
"Some people are afraid of going into the forest." Yeah, because bears are terrifying. If you see one, it's already too late.
Yeah, like drop bears in Australia😂
I can see why Bingo's behavior wouldn't be acceptable in a place like that, but one problem to consider is that if Bingo gets taken out of the movie theater, then Bluey would have to leave when SHE'S trying to be brave and actually watch the movie.
Hopefully Bingo was dealt with properly when Bandit took both of the kids back home. That being said the audience (or lack thereof) DOES seem pretty chill about a daddy chasing his daughter around a theater room during a screening.
Surprisingly, this is not the first time this has happened. TikTok users massively complained about another episode "fat-shaming" even though Bandit was concerned for his weight and his only, it went to the point where the opening scene was taken out to satisfy the viewers. This? Sure they DID act a bit dramatic on Reddit but I can see why they're annoyed, the message was a bit shaky and Bingo acted like she was at the park (which is totally reasonable but still, I think they can make the message more clear without harming the episode. C'mon, it's Bluey for cryin out loud!)
EXACTLY
Also, I think that it's important to note that Bingo clearly isn't old enough for the movie. Bandit could have easily left Bingo with the mom, or explained to Bingo (4 y/o is old enough to understand) that if they aren't old enough to behave in a theater, then they aren't old enough to see the movie and they will have to go home. That's sad for Bluey, but it's still good parenting.
I do believe kids all age and mature at their own pace, and some 4 year olds may be okay, but Bingo's behavior is that of a kid that is *not* mature enough for a theater. Marine takes Bluey on another day without her little sibling, or promise to watch it at home where she may feel safer.
ADHD exists
8:08 "slightly problematic" yeah let's just say slightly
These idiot parents acting like the world is going to end over a 4-5 year old acting like a 4-5 year old? Pathetic.
As a parent I can say we really do take things WAY too seriously
This is why story scripts should be peer-reviewed before they even think about starting production. It's not like it's easy to overhaul an entire episode that's already been released to the public
I feel like this episode is about kids that shouldn’t go to the movies. Bingo is too noisy and disruptive, she can’t sit still and be quiet so an activity that revolves around sitting quietly is the wrong thing for her. By contrast Bluey is only there because she wants to fit in with the rest of her friends at school by watching a movie she doesn’t actually want to watch because it’s scary. While it’s good to push your limits to do things you find difficult sometimes it’s better to just not.
I have a younger sister and bingo’s actions infuriate me to no end in this episode because of how she reminds me of my sister, who is twice as old bingo, and how my parents act similarly to bandit, not actually explaining or giving consequences for bad behaviour, and I know its irrational but every time I see clips of this episode i just can’t stop thinking about “thats dangerous bandit should explain that she can get hurt” or “be more careful with your things” and so much else
As a die-hard Bluey fan.. yeah, this episode isn't one of my favorites. Bingo is usually pretty calm and easygoing in most episodes, so I don't know why they decided to make her exceedingly happy all of a sudden. But yeah, Bluey herself is pretty great in this episode.
And the show is really good 👍🏽
Children are not consistent all the time, Bingo may be more even tempered but I think she will have her moments of being over energetic. We just don't see it off screen, and this episode we can assume it's one of those days 🤷♀️
I wouldn't say Bingo is calm and easy going, she is also extremely excitable and playful. She is just regarded as the more well behaved one, generally because she entertains herself. But she's in a cinema where she doesn't care for the film. This was the consequence of her entertaining herself. All of her behaviour here was her trying to entertain herself, it's not as disruptive when she's at home or at the park compared to a cinema. She was probably just bored.
SENSORY FRIENDLY IS NOT "FOR KIDS!" OMG I can't believe that was an argument or comment?! It's for ALL people with sensory issues and disabilities. Letting your kid act like a complete jerk because it's "a sensory friendly" showing is why I (and many others) have so many difficulties trying to find ways to enjoy things. That is such a BS uneducated comment from that person.... I went to see Anastasia, having autism the flashing lights and actual cannon sounds in the show were very painful and made parts actually unwatchable for me. A sensory friendly showing would have TECHNICALLY been better, but people with the same thought pattern as this commenter are the reason I can't actually enjoy those either.

All this episode needed was bandit telling bingos exactly why this behavior is bad and bingo understanding. It they had showed the behavior being corrected/have some kind of consequence, parents probably wouldn't have been as upset about it.
Side thing, I wanna know where Chili is. We've seen there are days when both parents have free time at home. Could they not schedule this on a day where Chili could watch Bingo while they went to the movies? It's never stated Bingo asked to go and shows no interest in actually seeing the movie. She doesn't seem to want to be there which is why she's being disruptive. So I'm confused why they couldn't wait for a more convenient day.
I think in this day and age, people should take a chill pill for once. Idk how we even got to the point where we expect everyone else BUT us to "know better" and do everything perfectly. We got to the point where dehumanizing creators has skyrocketed for absolutely no reason and is doing more harm than anything. "Bad" episodes EXIST and, exactly, this isn't a bad episode at all. This episodes shows how parents can and will mess up sometimes. Could the premise been done better? Sure, whatever, if that makes you happier, sure. But is it VITAL? Absolutely not. The writers are absolutely not to be executed when this episode could be easily just be completed by the parents watching with their kids. The people SKIPPING the episode are just avoiding the problem and expecting a TV show to parent their kids. The purpose of this episode IS to show a bad example and the ACTUAL PARENT to explain their kids WHY is a bad example. Because, news flash, every kids is different, and that is ok, and that is exactly why this episode doesn't have the conclusion people would expect because every parent handles their kids different. Just like Bandit, who has two kids that are one the opposite of the other, every parent has different kids that need a different talk and explanation, simple as that. Is not up to the show to give the moral, it's up to the parents, it's supposed to be an educational moment that triggers a talk with the parents. And that's good, I'd love people to understand more and not immediately set writers on fire because everything should be perfect nowadays and apparently creators are not human and should always "know better" where maybe, a show is not enough, and it needs actual human intervention.
Parents get weirdly defensive about Bluey. I once made the mistake of saying: "I don't see how anyone could spend that much on a Bluey game".
About 4 grown men span around on their heels like cultists to tell me how "misinformed" I was.....I'm glad I didn't have kids.
feel like the moral should be bingo gets punished and taken by the mother away from the cinema to show that misbehaving doesnt get you what you want and that you can try again another time once you are ready. while also explaining to bingo that certain behaviors while fine in some areas are not in others.
That can be a very good episode!!
Not a very Aussie attitude.
She's 4. Her behaviour isn't her fault. It was a mistake to bring her there in the first place. Do you also think babies should be punished for crying in restaurants with nice live music and romantic ambience? I'd hope not. It's not the baby's fault, that environment is not ideal for them and that's fine. Bingo isn't ready to sit calmly in a cinema and that's FINE she's not bad because of that. She's behaving exactly how she behaves at home.
Even if they wanted to portray the dad in a positive light they still could have shown the other kids getting mad at Bingo.
She could have defended herself saying, "I was only playing." And the other kids would angerly tell her, "Well, no on else was! We were trying to enjoy the movie!" And then Bandit could of had a heart to heart with his youngest about social cues.
So yeah, this episode is only good for teaching what NOT to do.
Especially kids with ADHD 9:11
The $54 for 2 tickets is right on. My brother and I cost $54 and some change for two tickets, popcorn, and 2 drinks at Sonic 3.
