The beloved children’s series, Bluey, has been facing censorship issues in the United States, with certain episodes being altered or withheld from streaming platforms. However, this month brought a surprise for fans as the controversial episode “Dad Baby” finally became available on YouTube in the USA.

“Dad Baby” had gained international attention when it initially aired in 2020, as it saw Bandit pretending to be pregnant with Bingo. The episode’s unique storyline sparked curiosity and drew significant viewership.

Bluey’s censorship history extends beyond “Dad Baby.” Previous episodes like “Teasing” and “Exercise” had faced criticism for language and body image concerns, leading to alterations in the U.S. release. This censorship sparked debates about artistic freedom and the appropriate boundaries for children’s entertainment.

Despite the censorship, Bluey has maintained immense popularity, with recent specials drawing large audiences on Disney Plus. However, some uncertainty surrounds the future of the series, with production seemingly on hold. Nevertheless, the creators have hinted at more surprises in store for devoted fans.
