Channel info

Run by: Ludo Studios, an Australian animation studio, created by Joe Brumm.

Why we picked it: One of the most critically acclaimed and beloved kids' shows in the world; genuine narrative and emotional sophistication, though it skews a bit older than pure toddler content (best fit closer to 5-7).

The Beach

Bingo in the Pool

Two good starting points — the channel has plenty more if these land well with your child.

Did you know? Bluey has developed a huge adult fanbase alongside its child audience, with grown adults regularly citing episodes like "The Sleepytime" and the series finale as genuinely moving television.
