Disney Junior and Disney+ hosted a Bluey premiere celebration for the highly anticipated extended-length special, “The Sign,” at The Walt Disney Studios Lot in Burbank, California.
The episode, which was written by series creator Joe Brumm, finds Bluey, Bingo and their parents Chilli (Melanie Zanetti) and Bandit (Dave McCormack) preparing for the wedding of Bandit’s brother Rad (Patrick Brammall) and Bluey’s godmother Frisky (Claudia O’Doherty), two characters who first met in Season 2’s “Double Babysitter.” The title of the episode refers to the “For Sale” sign in front of the Heeler home. Because of Bandit’s new job, they are selling their house and moving, something Bluey, in particular, is not happy about. And while Chilli is trying to be supportive, it’s clear she doesn’t want to move either.
Bluey is a loveable, inexhaustible, Blue Heeler dog, who lives with her Mum, Dad and her little sister, Bingo.
Bluey uses her limitless energy to play games that unfold in unpredictable and hilarious ways, bringing her
family and the whole neighborhood into her world of fun. Bluey showcases the joyful simplicity that can be found in families turning everyday events like going to the shops or visiting the doctor into unique adventures, bringing to life how children learn and grow through play.
