Always time for ‘Sleepytime’

We had time for one Bluey episode before bed, and the first one that popped up on YouTube was Sleepytime.

“This is one of my favorite Bluey episodes,” my seven year old said. Dude, same, I thought. It’s not only one of the best episodes of Bluey but also one of the finest shortform stories of the decade. (Not a surprise that as of this writing it has nearly 53 million views on YouTube.)

It’s apparent why the physical humor and distinct visual style would appeal to a seven and two year old (they particularly loved the kids kicking Bandit in their sleep). For parents, though, it’s an absolute heart-punch. And the heavy use of Gustav Holst’s “Jupiter” theme throughout makes it all the more epic.
