Film Theory: Bluey is a WITCH?!

*SUBSCRIBE to Film Theory!*

Hey there, loyal Theorists! You may already know from our previous Bluey theory that there’s more to this blue heeler than meets the eye. Well, upon closer watching of the full Bluey episodes, we found that this world may just be… magical! That’s right, the magic xylophone and magic asparagus aren’t just an imaginative game, they’re REAL magic. Grab your wands and get ready for some sparks with this Bluey theory!

I love the fact that the entire episode was “They’re either magic, or they’re the absolute worst neighbors possible”

[xcf]

Matpat retiring really brought out the most wild theories and I’m all here for it.

[foxyalex]

Even during his last few theories, MatPat is still completely insane. Respect

[poorwillis]

I think the whole show isn’t Bluey happening in the present but the childhood the kids remember. It seems magical to them just as our childhoods seem to us. There are also multiple points in the show where the kids are either shown as grown adults or teenagers or the parents are recalling a memory. It’s not that there is magic it’s that the children recall their childhood experiences in these creative, fun, magical ways.

[DominicDiMaria-fqoh]

I'd never have thought in a million years that MatPat, one of the giants of the internet, would make one of his last 9 theories on Bluey, and Bluey being a witch of all things.

[JonPonikvar]

My thoughts on this: Considering that we've seen multiple glimpses of the future versions of Bluey, Bingo, Rusty, and many other characters, I've always felt that this series could in fact be a perpetual flashback, much like "How I Met Your Mother." What we're seeing in these episodes are not 100% factual events, but rather just how Bluey remembers them happening from when she was 7 years old. In her young memory, she believed that these magic moments actually happened, so we are seeing them from her perspective as if they did. In reality, her parents were always still super catering and accommodating to her and Bingo's imaginations, but a lot of the questionable moments are simply just Bluey remembering it wrong.

[MeIsPerri]

Its very interesting how a childrens show intruiged many adults around the world The creators really catered to adult viewers in the sense of comedy. Its actually pretty funny. Love you MatPat. We're all going to miss you

Lucky's Dad is such a great sport, to be fair.

A fellow dad helping the bits

[chriskuta]

Pat is, without a doubt, the most chill neighbour you could ever hope to have, whether he's being attacked by imaginary animals, having his hat made heavy, or having his pie ripped out of his hands and all the sauce licked off it while he's walking down the street just minding his own business, he takes it in stride. Not just that, he's happy to help tear up a couple tree stumps, with his only retribution seemingly being his palm tree dropping branches in the Heeler's yard.

[Navillea]

MatPat's really been pumping out a load of theories lately. And that just reminds me that soon it won't be him in these theories anymore

[sarahtelles]

I like that despite being comfortable playing with his kids and involving the neighbors he knows, Bandit is still nervous to play like that in front of dads that he doesn't know well

[kindasa]

As a fellow parent of a 4 year old, I too love this show and watch it with my son all the time, and try to use lessons and examples from the show to make our shared experience of his childhood so much better.

I am sure this was pointed out elsewhere, but there are also examples in the show where the people dont realize the game immediately and take a second to join in. For example (and I am pulling these from memory so I may be partially mis remembering) but in the heavy episode, when she first tries to heavy Bandit's breakfast, he first responds with a "what?" like he didnt actually hear, or register what Bingo said, and it was only when she said it again that he actually responded. Furthermore, while Bluey is great at playing into the games, Bingo can sometimes be a bit slow to join in. For example there is a part when Bandit gets the magic xylophone and freezes Bluey immediately, but he tries like 3 times to freeze Bingo and she just runs off and is never affected.

I just watched the other episode you did on Bluey and you tried to address a lot of the counter examples, but I didnt see mention of them here. But for the above reasons, I think some of the things we see in the show that try to prove magic are just artistic intpretations, and I am team pretend games instead of team magic.

TLDR, there are times when the magic just doesnt work, therefore I am team pretend games.

I’ll miss MatPat, he spent so many hours to make theories that in my eyes, are perfect

[StarWarsFan_]

A classic MatPat move by releasing his wildest theories before he leaves us. We’ll miss you MatPat

[nonsensical]

first time ive seen matpat bring magic into a childrens show rather than take it out. we will all miss you

[easyscout]

Honestly when I saw your "Bluey is dark" theory I originally thought it was gonna be about the weird magic stuff that the characters do in this series given how bizarre it seemed. My personal theory was that maybe because they're dogs they're just trained to respond accordingly to the games they play. Similar to how you can get a trained dog to sit simply by waving your hand

The kids and presumably the parents have grown up playing make believe and using their imagination so it's naturally built into their instincts as time goes on. Before they eventually teach it to their children. And the children after that. And eventually it becomes completely normal in society for a random mom to start dancing in the street regardless of how road raged drivers will feel

[RILDIGITAL]

The magic involved in Bluey is definitely astonishing and adds an unmatched charm to the show.

[LULU-animate]

We’ve probably learned more from Matpat than we actually do at school, thanks Mat for all the great years. We’re all going to miss you

[michaeljamesm]

the show is always conveyed from the perspective of the kids so for them, their playing and everyone’s participation really is ‘magic’ to them

[ILuvHudson]

I love that the other Bandit parallel is the commitment to the bit. MatPat out there being an amazing dad and human.
