In a move that has left fans baffled, a popular episode of the beloved children's show Bluey has been abruptly pulled from screens. The episode, titled Dad Baby, was suddenly removed from streaming platforms, including ABC iView and Disney+, sparking confusion and concern among parents and young viewers alike.
Why Was the Episode Removed?
While no official statement has been released by the BBC or Disney, speculation suggests the episode may have been deemed unsuitable due to its humorous yet slightly controversial premise. Dad Baby features Bandit, Bluey's dad, pretending to be pregnant—a storyline that some viewers may have found odd or inappropriate for young children.
Fan Reactions
Devoted fans of the show have taken to social media to express their disappointment. Many argue that Bluey is known for its heartwarming and imaginative storytelling, and removing episodes sets a worrying precedent for censorship in children's programming.
One parent tweeted: "My kids love Bluey, and 'Dad Baby' was one of their favourites. Why take away something so harmless and fun?"
Will the Episode Return?
As of now, there is no confirmation on whether Dad Baby will be reinstated. However, given the show's massive popularity, it’s possible that fan backlash could prompt a reconsideration.
For now, parents and little ones will have to enjoy the remaining episodes—and hope this fan-favourite makes a comeback soon.
