Chip Chilla - A Conservative Bluey RIPOFF?

Chip Chilla is a new cartoon on the DailyWire's streaming service Bentkey. The series has been accused of being a ripoff of Bluey which the creators of Bentkey deny. Is Chip Chilla a shameless ripoff of Bluey? Is it even any good? What does "conservative" Bluey even mean? Let's find out

The messy room episode would have been done much better if Chip's younger brother accidentally broke a toy he left out. It would be a natural consequence of not putting his toys away. Instead, the show has the PARENTS intentionally break his things so he learns that disobedience will be punished with the destruction of his belongings.

I love the fact that a news media was not only aware of the rip-off, but also acknowledged that it's terrible.

What's even funnier about Chip Chilla's use of history + novels to teach morals is that there's ANOTHER kid's show with a main character dog that already did it better. Wishbone was an old PBS show (though it's live action with all but the titular dog being humans) that used classic literature and historical figures to teach a lesson to kids. The thing is, Wishbone was clearly for older children/preteens who would be able to understand these complex themes and sources. What preschooler is going to understand the fall of the Roman Empire??

TBH, it just seems that the biggest difference between the two

is that, Chinny and Chum Chum were ready to have babies

Bandit and Chillie, were ready to be PARENTS

[kaniq]

The parents basically teaching kids that destroying things in anger is good is actually disturbing

[littlemeow]

What really makes this ripoff unnecessary is that I've never seen any conservative parents call bluey "woke", yet apparently the people at daily wire thought that there should be a conservative alternative to the show

Yeesh. That Chip Chilla episode about cleaning up your room and how it contrasted with the Bluey episode reminded me of an old Bernstein Bears book/episode about the same subject. The cubs wouldn't keep their pigsty of a room clean, and Mama Bear got so fed up that she got a big box, wrote "Trash" on it, and stomped into the cubs' room and started throwing everything she got her hands on into the box while Brother and Sister pleaded with her to stop and yelled for help, getting the attention of Papa Bear who was outside in his shop. Papa sprinted into the house and sat everyone down for a serious talk. He made it clear Mama had gone too far in trying to throw all the cubs' toys away, but also Brother and Sister had to take better care of their living space, because it wasn't fair to Mama to make her have to clean everything, but it wasn't fair to the *cubs* to live in such a pig pen. He offered to make the cubs multiple toy boxes and peg boards to organize their toys, games, and collections, and the episode closed with a montage of Brother and Sister working very hard to clean their room, putting their stuff in all the boxes Papa had made for them, and yes, even throwing some of their broken or unneeded things away in Mama's trash box. Even that is a much more balanced and nuanced approach to the subject than the Chip Chilla episode. Talk about a terrible moral, goodness.

Its fucking hilarious that the Daily Wire loves to throw out that liberals are "grooming our children" and then pump out an episode of a kid's show where the main lesson is "Don't tell anybody about the bad stuff you see or experience not even your PARENTS" 💀💀💀

[generalginx]

Shaming kids for being honest about bad things they see by calling it tattling and “not real news” is insane💀

[Trident_Gaming]

I like how The Daily Wire complains about how not enough kids shows have nuclear families anymore, and then proceeds to get compared to a very popular kids show with a nuclear family

[lalalachris]

The “breaking everything you have/love cause you don’t do one thing” is common in these households. And what the show didn’t cover was 1) the emotional toll of destroying the sentimental toys and 2) the parents refusing to take on any burden of replacing things, even to a small extent
All that episode is going to do is affirm to kids that it’s normal for parents to break your stuff when they are angry

[ramirezthesilvite]

That "don't be a tattler" message made me laugh pretty hard, given the context of the show's existence. It can be read in two ways, both are pretty funny.

[Madocvalanor]

my parents and brothers are conservative. They love Bluey. They love the creativity, they love the characters, they love the stories and the morals. The rip off is sad, uninspired, and a dead end for most of the actors and actresses involved. Daily Wire should be ashamed of the crap they put out.

[scottnotpilgrim]

If something gets even remotely popular, there will be ripoff versions of it. As it has been for years

[Hoshi_Hoshi_]

Someome should do an AU where the Chilla kids get adopted into the Heeler family and get the chance to heal

[JanieLane]

As a ludo intern, please DON'T harasss the animators on Chip Chillia, animation is a tough industry and sometimes the best you can ask for is food on the table and the lights on. I hope they can find better shows to work on in the future

One way I can tell that Chip Chilla had no heart or care put into it is that they went with a South American animal for this. If this is a strong conservative pro American cartoon, why not go with a native North American animal specifically found in the US like gators, bears, deer, and… THE BALD EAGLE!

The best thing is that Bluey wasn’t made for a target audience. There’s a reason adults watch it, and it’s because it’s neither annoying for adults. Plus it’s a good role model for all ages.

[Jack-sobp]

I always appreciated how the female characters in Bluey aren't given eyelashes for the sake of "feminine" character design. Not susprising that the conservative ripoff decided they didnt like that.

[cdub]

They legit made an episode where Chip accidentally breaks something at a yard sale, and is constantly being stalked by an elderly rabbit who was selling it. Later, the rabbit invites Chip into his garage to “show him something.” Creep shows off his dinosaur bone collection and Chip decides that he would like to see him again WITHOUT parental supervision.

I don’t think I need to stress how horrible of an episode this is.
