More Detail:
The TV special opens in the early morning with three bird puppets outside Bluey’s farmhouse talking and squawking to one another. Two of the birds visit together and start kissing while the third bird shakes its head.
As the sun rises, the scene cuts to inside the farmhouse. In the living room, Bluey and then her sister Bingo want to play Musical Statues with Mum and Dad, but Dad’s not there. They shout for Dad to come play with them. He surprises them by suddenly appearing on the far left side of the stage.
Dad is a little distracted by an article on his smartphone warning about lawn grubs from their friend Lucky’s Dad. However, Dad locates some music, and they play three games of Musical Statues. Suspiciously, they stop playing Musical Statues only when Bluey finally wins the third game.
Bluey and Bingo now want the family to play Keepy Uppy, but Dad’s already sitting in his beanbag chair and doesn’t want to play. In fact, he pretends to be reading a book, but Bluey shows Bingo and Mum that he’s really reading the article about lawn grubs on his phone. Despite that, Dad returns to pretending he’s reading a book.
So, Bluey suggests to Bingo that, if they take and hide Dad’s phone, he’ll have to play with them. The rest of the show focuses on Dad trying to get his phone back while Bluey and Bingo keep hiding it from him.
At the same time, Bluey becomes upset that Bingo is always trying to copy her. However, Mum tells Bluey that Bingo likes to copy Bluey because she looks up to her big sister. Mum also suggests to Bluey that, by copying her, Bingo learns how to be a big kid. “So, try and be a sister worth copying.” Eventually, Bluey’s mum takes her own advice to heart by reaching out to her estranged sister.
BLUEY’S BIG PLAY is a funny, delightful production with strong moral, pro-family values. As such, it has heartwarming, uplifting, positive lessons about spending time with sisters and family while also learning from one another.
