When I first heard of Bluey, I was expecting it to be similar to the likes of Peppa or Cocomelon. Brightly colored animation aimed purely at young kids with little to no enjoyment for adults. Yet, after a few friends recommended Bluey to me, I decided to watch.
For the past few months, I've been watching all 3 seasons. This show is wholesome, adorable, and fun! While the animation style is simple, it's also very well done. There are times when the animators play around with styles, which as an artist, I appreciate! The very same charm and creativity was present in The Sign.
I love how the series dives into topics that aren't discussed much in children's media, yet are presented in a way for both kids and adults to digest. The Sign is no different, as it tackles adjusting to changes in life and seeing what the future may hold. I was caught off guard by how mature this special felt. The creators could've done the bare minimum, but they went all out. The emotional scenes hit HARD, making me tear up and eventually cry by the end. Bandit's big moment with the sign broke me. I truly love that the show acknowledges that life is already a struggle, but happy endings can still happen. The special was gearing up for a potentially sad ending, but instead we got a joyful, bitter sweet ending.
I can understand those who don't agree with the ending. You can't win them all. Yet, life already throws so much sadness at us. I wanna see these characters be happy. I love that The Heelers got their own happy ending. I'm glad they get to keep their iconic house that they all clearly love to live in. I'm happy that Brandy gets to experience motherhood. I'm happy that Rad and Frisky worked out their differences and had their wedding. I'm happy that GRANDPA BOB ISN'T DEAD.
Overall, this was a lovely special. The animation, story, characters, music (Lazarus Drug is simply BEAUTIFUL), and message were all handled almost flawlessly. I can't recommend this series enough, whether or not you have kids. It's accessible to ANYONE, and this special is just the cherry on top. I can't wait to see what else will be done with this series, because I love it to pieces!
