Inside The Magic Reports: Ludo Studios’ Bluey is easily one of the most beloved and celebrated cartoons to hit screens in recent years. Both adults and children have had their hearts stolen by Bluey, Bingo, and the rest of their canine friends in this Australian animated series on Disney+, and the fanbase is quite vocal about their admiration.

As with any successful series, the fandom can get extremely protective over the target of their affection. Recently, a divisive news article resurfaced on social media, writing that in spite of the show’s marvelous qualities, it simply wasn’t diverse enough.

In this writer’s opinion, fans need only heed the advice of a certain cartoon dog. In the famous words of Bandit Heeler, “It’s just monkeys singing songs, mate. Don’t think too hard about it.” Forcing Bluey into a political or social mold is not going to be fun for anyone involved.

Inside the Magic responded to the article from ABC reporter Beverly Wang that took issue with the lack of diversity and “dogs of color” amongst other missing elements from the otherwise all-inclusive show. While she addresses Bluey’s praises, she takes a sharp left turn in her critique.

Wang led things in a direction many fans might consider “woke” with the following statement in her article.

“Where are the disabled, queer, poor, gender diverse, dogs of colour and single-parent dog families in Bluey’s Brisbane? If they’re in the background, let them come forward.”
