There’s a scene in Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar that breaks my heart every time I watch it. Matthew McConaughey travels to an alien planet knowing that, for every hour he spends on its surface, seven years will pass on Earth. But something goes wrong, and the mission takes longer than he anticipated. He leaves the planet to discover that 23 Earth years have passed. His children, who he left behind on Earth, are now adults who have grown up without him. Anyway, it breaks my heart because it’s basically the same as being a non-Australian Bluey fan.
Ten Bluey episodes have appeared on Disney+ this morning. If you have children of the appropriate age, you will have been aware of this for weeks. And if you weren’t, you can all but guarantee that these episodes will play on an unbroken loop throughout the summer holidays. However, I hesitate to call these episodes new, because Australians got them a full year ago.
