Bluey Animator Fired Amidst Chair Issues: Is Bluey Cancelled?
The hit animated TV series Bluey has once again made headlines, but this time, for a bizarre reason. A Bluey animator has been supposedly dismissed due to a jokingly added detail in Bandit and Chilli’s bedroom.
The Australian animation tells the story of a young puppy named Bluey and his adventures. She lives with her dad, Bandit, mother, Chilli, and baby sister, Bingo.
Initially, the kids’ show received massive viewership in Australia.
It also earned many awards, including the 2019 International Emmy Kids Award, four AACTA Awards, and the 2022 International BAFTA Children & Young People Awards.
However, Bluey has been the subject of debate in the latter years. Its sixteen episodes were banned and censored due to inappropriate content and offensive language.
They also encouraged dangerous games that could potentially cause harm to young viewers.
Bluey Animator Fired For An Inappropriate Chair Detail
Often, viewers focus on the main picture and ignore the background details. In Bluey’s case, audiences are so engrossed in his adventures and main plot that they hardly pay any attention to the background elements.
But one parent did and pointed out the seemingly misplaced chair in Bluey’s parents, Bandit and Chilli’s bedroom. The armchair faced the couple’s bed and immediately sparked a massive debate on X.
Later, it was revealed that an animator added the chair as a joke, thinking no one would notice. The show fired him for his actions.

Well, all this was published by a satirical site, The Betoota Advocate. Reddit users quickly pointed out that it is fake news with no authenticity on the platform.
Considering how The Betoota Advocate puts a comedic spin on the news, their article is likely created as a satire. While many might mistake Bluey Animator-fired news for real news, this is likely untrue.
No other verifiable media has confirmed this matter, so Bluey’s animator is probably not fired. Also, there is no such detail in the show’s episode.
