The animated series Bluey is back to brighten up your day, just in time for back-to-school season. This beloved show, which has captured the hearts of families around the world, is releasing more of its bite-sized minisodes.
These short episodes may be brief, but they pack in just as much fun and life lessons as the longer ones. The second batch of minisodes will be dropping on Disney Plus in October, so fans can get ready for another round of delightful Aussie adventures with the Heeler family.
But what exactly can we expect from these minisodes? Let's dive into the plot, cast, release schedule, and where we can catch them.
Plot highlights
Bluey Minisodes are short episodes that give you a quick dose of the heartwarming and fun stories of the Heeler family. Each episode lasts about one to three minutes, making them perfect for a quick binge session or repeat viewing by your little ones.
Since its debut in 2018, Bluey has become a massive hit. Created by Joe Brumm and produced by Ludo Studio, this Australian animated series has resonated with kids and parents alike.
The show follows Bluey, a lovable Blue Heeler puppy, as she navigates life with her family and friends, learning valuable lessons along the way. The series mixes humor, imagination, and heartfelt moments that appeal to both children and adults.
The second set of Bluey Minisodes includes the following:
Tattoo Shop: Dad goes to a pretend ‘tattoo shop’ where the kids draw tattoos on him. He asks for something tough, like skulls and snakes, but when it's finished, it's not what he expected at all.
Phoney: After a long day, everyone wants to relax and listen to some calming music. But Unicorse keeps using Phoney to change the songs, messing up the peaceful vibe.
Blocks: Bluey and Bingo build a huge tower with their blocks. They ask their Nana if they can leave it standing until they come back. Nana and Bob then have to live around this giant tower in their small apartment without knocking it down!
Government: Dad uses Bingo’s back like a typewriter to write a funny letter to the government, telling them they need to fix his misbehaving children.
Drums: Bingo is at a music shop with Mum, and she finds an electronic drum set. She puts on some headphones and has fun exploring the beats.
Browny Bear: Someone keeps tapping people on the shoulder and disappearing, which gets super annoying. Mum calls in Private Investigator Browny Bear to solve the mystery.
Whirlpool: The kids create a whirlpool in their paddling pool, then dive in and have fun spinning in the swirling water.
Even though the Bluey minisodes are short, they still pack a punch in terms of storytelling, fun, and life lessons. For fans, these minisodes offer the perfect way to get more Heeler family adventures in bite-sized form. Plus, they’re perfect for kids with shorter attention spans or for busy parents looking for quick, family-friendly entertainment.
Expected cast list
The cast of the minisodes is expected to remain the same. This means:
- David McCormack as Bandit, Bluey, and Bingo’s dad.
- Melanie Zanetti as Chilli, Bluey, and Bingo’s mum.
- Dan Brumm as Uncle Stripe
- Myf Warhurst as Aunty Trixie
The voices of the children are kept secret, but it’s likely the same actors will return for the new episodes. There have also been some exciting guest stars in past seasons, like

- Rose Byrne
We can expect some more fun cameos in these upcoming episodes too.
Bluey is brought to life by a talented team. Joe Brumm, the show’s creator, writes the episodes, while Charlie Aspinwall and Daley Pearson are the Emmy award-winning executive producers.
It’s a Ludo Studio production for ABC Kids, with Henrietta Hurford-Jones serving as an executive producer for BBC Studios. This powerhouse team ensures that every episode is full of heart and humor.
