This action is the start of the disarray and problems that occur in her dream, but ultimately is the first step necessary for her development. The dream starts with Bingo hatching from the Earth as if it was an egg, and although the real-world version of these eggs are revealed to be their beds, this “coming out of her comfort zone” action can be likened to Bingo trying to sleep without her parents’ help. “And then the baby chick hatched out of her egg, and the first thing she saw was her mummy chicken,” are the lines of the chick book that Chilli read to Bingo. Then Chilli leaves, and the lights are off, illuminating the glow in the dark stars in Bingo and Bluey’s room, setting the scene for the zoom into the book transition to her space dream. “You do your best, sweetheart, but remember, I’m always here if you need me.” Chilli, great parent that she is, recognizes the bravery of this task and also reassures her daughter through her struggle with the equally important line: The theme being that Bingo is taking her first steps towards her own independence, her own adulthood, where she doesn’t need to fully rely on her parents with tasks such as getting through the night while riddled with the terrors and separation anxieties that come from being away from your parents in the dark as a small child. “Mum, I want to do a big girl sleep tonight, and wake up in my own bed.” Then one of the main themes of the episode is kicked off with Bingo’s line: After Chilli finishes reading, Bingo immediately notices that her doll Floppy isn’t with her, and Chilli immediately bring it to her, with Floppy going on to be a character of immense importance in Bingo’s journey through her dream. Bingo is fascinated with the concept of space, and her side of the room is adorned with stars to further drive that point home.
If you’ve ever been a child, you know that if you’re interested enough in something that you keep it under your pillow to read about it at night, you are VERY interested in that subject.
The planets book that Bingo gives Chilli to read isn’t a bedtime story, it might not even be a children’s book at all (slightly foreshadowing the theme of growing up from the stage of being a little kid in the episode). After Chilli finishes with the chick book, Bingo immediately pulls out a book that discusses the planets of the solar system. Even though Bandit was taking care of Bluey and Chilli was taking care of Bingo, Bandit made sure to say “Good night” to Bingo as well, a quick reminder that he was there for her as well.
BLUEY SLEEPYTIME SONG SERIES
One of the major themes of the episode is why both of these parenting methods are necessary to a child’s development, tying together the series so far where Chilli’s been the parent that mostly uses her words (a standout example being her words to Bluey near the end of Camping), and Bandit’s been the parent that opts to get physically active instead (which immediately proved its worth as Bluey fell asleep instantly).īoth of the books that Chilli reads to Bingo have a massive amount of relevance to the dream that Bingo has, which combines the two concepts of space and motherhood into a single story that Bingo is the main character of. It starts with immediately contrasting Bandit and Chilli’s two parenting styles: Chilli is calmly reading a story to Bingo (using words), while Bandit is physically dragging Bluey to bed (getting active). This episode is 7:30 instead of the usual 7 minutes long, which I greatly respect because not a single moment of this entire episode should be cut.
