Make the Bluey movie 2D

Make the Bluey movie 2D

The Issue

I've always admired the simplicity and charm of Bluey in its original 2D animation. It's where we first explored the imaginative world of Bluey and her family, and the style has been a perfect fit for the storytelling and emotional nuances this incredible show brings to life. The characters have resonated with audiences, not just because of their delightful adventures, but because of the hand-drawn feel that the 2D animation offers, which has become synonymous with Bluey's identity. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," is the phrase that echoes in our hearts as we imagine a Bluey movie in 3D.

The transition to a 3D animation for the Bluey movie risks losing the essence and warmth that the 2D style brings. While 3D animation is visually impressive, it just isn't a proper fit for a show that has been in 2D for its entire existence. 


Moreover, the 2D animation style is not just about aesthetics but is also part of the show's accessibility and relatability. It's a style that has invited children and families to use their imagination and connect emotionally without overwhelming them with hyper-realistic visuals. The 2D style serves as a reminder that storytelling is at the heart of this beloved franchise, not the quality of the animation. And anyway, the 2D style is visually appealing. Several aspects of the character design would be difficult to translate into 3D, as can be seen by the strange, slightly unnatural shape of the plushies. This will leave the audience constantly staring at the strange forms of the characters they have always known in a medium they're better suited to, not enjoying the story. Just because 3D animation is trendy doesn't mean that everyone should do it.

We urge the creators and producers of the Bluey movie to remain true to the beloved show's roots and choose 2D as the medium for this cinematic venture. By keeping Bluey in its original animation style, we continue to honor the series’ legacy and the loyal fans who have supported it from the beginning.
