Why is This ‘Bluey Ripoff’ Getting so Much Hate? 

I have a feeling RU-vid’s gonna flag more than a few comments on this video… 👀

“This episode of Bluey is called Lawsuit.”

Lol I'd love to see Bluey take a jab at Chip Chilla like how Gumball took shots at their Chinese ripoff.

I still can’t get over how they literally named the mom “chinny” whereas the mom from bluey is “chili.” Like… were you even trying?

Not proud to say this, but I actually worked on this show. The animation company I worked for took this project on, but our boss didnt tell us that they were Daily Wire until a few episodes in. Right away, the animators and I said that this show is basically Bluey, but didn't complain too much. Now... the characters themselves weren't the issue. This show was hell to work on... We were not given proper assets, or props, and a lot of the BGs had to be manually fixed by the animators. We also were not given walk cycles, hand poses or anything of the sort, we had to do that all by ourselves. (Which was not told to us until problems started to arise). The animators worked overtime, the clients were extremely picky and constantly told us the wrong things, and will change their minds weeks onto the animation process. Everyone on my team hated working on this show, and we only found joy in the strange glitches and rig breaks that happened. Basically... we got the shit end of the stick when working on this show. And I am so glad that it is over. (The show was supposed to come out early spring, but thanks to the clients... tons of things needed to be pushed back)

Also,a lesson this show teaches is: "if you leave your toys out, your parents will break them" Straight up condoning emotional abuse. If it was a TV-14 adult show, thats one thing...but this is a TV-Y rated show aimed at toddlers.

The big difference is Bluey was made by a dad with his actual experiences he had with his kids. This show is just “let’s make it look close to Bluey, kids will not tell the difference!”

*Me:* Mom, can we get Bluey? *Mom:* We have Bluey at home. *Bluey at Home:*

Let’s just say that hypothetically for the porpoise of this argument, we made a show that noticeably looked like Bluey, and had Norm of the North voice Dad.

I have a feeling that nobody wouldve talked about this show if it didnt change the art style to look similar to bluey, since there really isnt anything interesting about the show. (Also why is the animation smoother in the older style LOL)

This might go unnoticed BUT believe it or not, this isn’t the ONLY show Chip Chilla has ripped off. Apart from some concept art, the character designs were actually blatantly stolen from the Deer Squad, a mostly commercially unsuccessful but critically acclaimed kids show acquired by Nickelodeon. Despite being dropped from poor ratings (which stems from an entirely different issue), Critics love it almost much as they do with Bluey… So hopefully people take notice that TWO quality shows have been robbed.

My kids are obsessed with Bluey, and I've been curious about what Chip Chilla actually is (instead of just the memes and frustrations from others). That curiosity led me to this video. While watching, my 3-year-old walked in, saw your profile avatar, and excitedly said "that's Bluey!" As the video continued to play and she saw footage of Chip, all she could say was "that's not Bluey."

The family pet being a Ladybug is, honestly, kinda creative.

I love the dynamic between Chip Chilla and Bluey in terms of character development. While in Chip Chilla you have chip being a mean person, ends up doing something wrong then eventually learns his lesson. EVERY EPISODE!!! But in Bluey (the earlier episodes do have this sort of concept) as the show progresses, she learns to respect the people around her like in Chess in season 3 where you see a massive increase of respect for her sister. It's allowing the characters to learn instead of make the same mistake which bring so much life to the show. That's why I think Bluey is infinitely better than Chip Chilla. Also, the music for Bluey definitely had more work and care put into it to really immerse you into every episode.

In my opinion it feels like bluey mixed with tawog with the disfunctional family and the dumb parent and more outrageous scenarios

Chip Chilla doesn’t compare to bluey because bluey is obviously the superior show

One of my favorite things about bluey is the fact that the girl characters for the most part don't really have much to distinguish them from the boy characters, which makes the most sense. Girl dogs and boy dogs tend to both just look like dogs. This show rips off the bluey art style but still makes sure the girl animals have eyelashes and longer hair, which annoys the hell out of me.

Yeah, homeschooling isn’t just a conservative thing. Me and my siblings were homeschooled because my oldest sister was diagnosed with autism and the counselor told my mom “if she isn’t medicated she’ll never succeed or even get through schooling.” The meds they wanted to put her on would have numbed her and she would have been in a system and environment that would be trying to force her into a mold instead of actually helping her grow and be herself. So my mom homeschooled us, my older sis got into an IV league college and my mom sent that councilor a copy of the acceptance letter.

The great part about bluey is that its made for kids AND parents.

FYI:Matt Walsh,one of the main people behind this show has advocated to LOWER the age of consent,and he voice acts an ADULT who regularly talks to KIDS. If that isn't a red flag,I don't know what is.

Fun fact: The Mayor of Brisbane in social media just said its a literal ripoff from usa. Thanks for correcting me 😅

Can we talk about the mom having a Karen haircut? Just by her hair style I know she's a Karen and I never watched the show

This feels like Bluey mixed with Caillou.

I'm going to be honest, as long as the creators kept the original artsyle and tried to hire some ACTUAL writers, it could have been a good show if all the potential wasn't just thrown out the window. Edit: And also if someone else completely different could develop and lead the project…

I don’t watch Bluey but I’ve seen bits and pieces of it. I heard about this ripoff of a show. I like that the show has good representation for various disabilities like autism.

Reminds me of how US film-makers like to remake foreign movies for the US market, not necessarily for the better, like with "Intouchables" an original French movie and "The Upside" Like you said, the show having more of the generic kids show structure. Makes you wonder if the makers were like "we'll make our own Bluey, with Blackjack and Hookers", but never really looked into it, so they basically just copied what they saw on a glance, and filled the holes with the next best generic thing.

I dare anyone to make fanart of Hideaki in Chipchilla’s art style.

I’m actually this didn’t go more right wing like Leo and Layla on PragerU kids. Like let the whole family go on a hunting trip to talk about how cool guns are or have them go to church. But I’m all for B reviewing more Bluey knockoffs.

I don't see why stuff that is "woke" is seen as a bad thing. Isn't it just stuff that is more inclusive to all kinds of people?

12:28 You're right. In fact, Ben Shapiro himself has recommended Bluey as a "non-woke show" for families to watch.

Ironically, Bluey is arguably a better “conservative” show despite not being politically driven at all

How to throw integrity out the window Step 1)Associate with Daily Wire Step 2)Rip off Bluey Step 3)Hire Rob Schneider

Personally, I believe Chip Chilla was created as a direct competitor to bluey, not because bluey is woke or anything, I don't think it is, it's because most easily accessed on Disney+. BentKey's entire stated purpose is that Disney was too woke, so this is a non political version. This is why they have their own snow white in the works, and why Chip Chilla exists as well. There is no way BentKey could get the streaming rights from Disney, so making their own was the only option, though I admit it feels a bit to close to the source material. As for the childish feeling of Chip Chilla, I think that's kind of on purpose. They needed something that would appeal to kids, adults were simply not a big concern. Will it possibly appeal to adults in the future, maybe, but when it was being developed, This was still a financial risk for the daily wire, as well as for the people making it. A lot of people in Hollywood don't like the daily wire, so anybody who have worked for them may not be able to get a job in other parts of the industry in the future.

Honestly considering the views of the people who are associated with the Daily Wire (Ben, Matt "we should lower the age of consent" Walsh, and Dennis Prager among others), I'm glad that the worst thing their Bluey ripoff did was be boring. It could have been a lot worse.

Wait. There's already R34 of Chum-Chum? Well, I kinda know that because I did see a picture of Bandit kissing Chum while Pat is in mad about it while Fido is holding him back. Seen it on Facebook too. I believe it was in Hammerbarn.

i dont get why they changed the art style? from the little ive seen of the art style animated at like 13:40 it looks better than the one they went with to me

Let’s say, hypothetically- for the sake of argument- Muffin takes something said by Uncle Stripe too literally and- once again for the sake of argument- ends up ruining Bluey and Bingo’s game of library. In this case, Bluey and Bingo would- typically- get upset. It’s true! They don’t want you to know that but it’s true.

Nothing can really compete with Bluey. It’s a masterpiece 🌟

“This Episode of Bluey is called: Sue them for all they got”

Bro, why does the father look like Stitch?

I'm guessing they changed the art style for cost purposes because the original looks really expressive and requiring more complex animation work than the rigs they have now. Assuming they utilized something like ToonBoom Harmony they seem rather stiff, only featuring the bare minimum of deformers for a slight hair wiggle or readjusting a characters proportions. Then you have the obvious of backriding off of Blueys artstyle.

I dont trust the daily wire. I dont trust ben shapiro. However the show just being cartoony and boring is probably the best thing it can be, since there's far worse out there that outright teach kids bad lessons and say things that...frankly give me a headache. The tuttle twins made me lose a few braincells I think.

Chip Chilla is one of the shows of all time

I watched one of the episodes myself and… Why the heck are the parents letting their kids do whatever? The parents are doing very bad parenting, I’d rather have bandit and chilli be my parents instead of the whatever they are…

Thank you so much for creating a review of this show that isn't focused entirely on its creation by a Conservative outlet. I know people who have brushed off the show entirely and just assumed it's bad just because of its origins, so thank you for taking the time to actually watch the show and try to give it a genuine analysis based on its content. I definitely agree that the show's existence feels unneeded, but like mentioned in the video, it's probably the Daily Wire capitalizing off of parents who hate Disney. My father is a conservative, and he's been especially paranoid about children's media made by Disney. All of the videos he watches is shifting him into the mindset that Disney is out for your children. Him and many other conservative parents feel really scared of any media coming from Disney. Even if Bluey is beloved by essentially everyone, most Americans watch it on Disney +, which many conservatives has boycotted. Since Bluey is so loved, I think Daily Wire tried to replicate its success through Chip Chilla, but I think their intentions may have been more pure than that. They may have been trying to "give" Bluey to conservative families who otherwise wouldn't be able to watch upon abandoning Disney +. As you said in the video, Bluey can still be watched in other ways, which is why I think the show is mostly unneeded, but Disney + is the most common way to watch it.

One thing I would like to add is that in conservative spaces (I’m not but everyone in my area is) Bluey is considered woke because of the good parenting and emotional communication and “deeper” subjects. It’s a very odd conclusion, but this is kinda what has been believed as “liberal sissy” parenting. Or emotional intelligence (what Bluey is very good at teaching kids) is also “leftist agenda” But that’s essentially the main difference that DW wanted to do with kids cartoons.

The art style in the concept art of Chip and Chichila looks 10x than the art style in the actual show 💀

“Mom can we have Bluey?” “No we have Bluey at home” Bluey at home:

"His name is actually Jeremy Boreing" me: WHAT WHY DOES HIS LAST NAME SOUND LIKE THAT!!!!

This show feels like something that would air on Qubo for longer then I should’ve But this show will still be forgotten within a month, similar to what happened to Disney Primos

Yeah I’m gonna get outta pocket and say that…yeah the show is made to be conservative, and we shouldn’t beat around the bush. That’s a bad thing. Like, if a MAJOR aspect of bluey is that parents don’t need to be authoritative to be good, and a major aspect of conservatism is keeping hierarchical standards in place, then of course a show made by people that are known for and made a career from being conservative is gonna be openly against that. The reason I think we can’t “both sides” this and should just call it a bad thing is because… 1: it rips off another show. Copyright violations suck, left or right. At the very least, they’re riding the coattails of the show to some degree. It’s not even original. It sucks from an artistic aspect. 2: if an overly authoritative style of parenting (with over-the-top punishments) is known to be more harmful to kids, it shouldn’t be promoted. For example, why was breaking toys necessary at all? It’s just punitive for the sake of being punitive. It sucks from a moral aspect. I’d like to think I handled this from as neutral of a point that is justifiable to myself. We can’t always just act like opinions have merit JUST because they’re differing opinions. They’re great, but There’s GOTTA be a cut-off, and encouraging harmful parenting tactics, or at least NORMALIZING it is awful.

WHAT IS THIS ATROCITY 😭😭😭😭😭😭

The fact all the chinchillas is blue (male) and the females are pink, people think boys should like blue and girls should like pink so i think this makes those sayings worse

I heard about that series through your RU-vid community post you made a while back, and it reminded me of an original fiction idea of mine which was originally intended to be a series of alternative universe Bluey fan-fictions before I cancelled that due to negative plot direction and reworked it into what I currently picture as a Bluey-like animated TV or graphic novel series. The only setting directly carried over from the fanfic idea was it taking place in Perth instead of Brisbane, but other than that, I work on it inactively as a side project and it currently still feels like a Bluey rip-off when I picture it in my imagination, but only because the idea is still in its infancy and I still have a lot of room to make it different. (Metaphorically speaking, I can't yet see the big picture as I only drew a few small pieces) There are other differences I put in, like characters having person names instead of pet dog names, and drawing some inspiration from my own childhood for plot ideas and elements, however I still have a long way to go with that idea of mine, but I do currently picture it as a metaphorical after-party in relation to Bluey, expanding on its plot ideas with some of my own. (6:06) (1:04) I've now noticed that while the Bluey intro depicts the title character's family playing musical statues, hinting at the series focusing on learning through play, the Chip Chilla intro is… lots of random items, including instant photos of the title character's family and other things forming the names of their voice actors scattered in their backyard, placed in a way that forms the show's logo under which the episode name appears. I sense a different creative direction. (6:41) That's interesting. I like that Bluey defies stereotypes by not linking character design to gender as easily, (6:57) while the blue and pink of the title character's family in Chip Chila seem to suggest to me that character designs instead follow stereotypes, or just US stereotypes. (7:04) I didn't think of that. What you mentioned seem to now make me think that Chip Chilla is like what Bluey would've been like if it were made and took place in the US instead of Australia. (9:26) That somehow reminded me of the Bluey episode STICKY GECKO! (10:03) I noticed that too, and seem to see resemblances in the art styles of other Bentkey original animated TV series too, though can't yet say for sure as I haven't yet done enough research, though I did find out that Bentkey brand their original programming as "Bentkey Adventures". I do, however, imagine some artists referencing Chip Chilla stills for art references if they can't reference Bluey stills for their Bluey fan art, though mostly with object and background models rather than character models. (10:28) Oh my. That looks way more Bluey-like, particularly with how character eyes were drawn. (10:49) I was reminded of one of my old character design ideas that's currently not linked to any of my fiction ideas, that being an elderly or middle-aged male character. I was also reminded of my idea for a Bluey-like animated TV or graphic novel series, because in that, I do try to mix in original ideas instead of directly copying Bluey, and that includes doing so with episode or book plots. (12:07) In a Web search, I saw a Reddit post from a user who was having trouble trying to install the Bentkey app for Roku, and mentioned that they wanted their children to pick the service over other streaming services. As such, I imagined them preventing their children from accessing Disney Plus to watch Bluey. (13:08) That reminded me of Aussie Girl Margie.

Bluey: 👍🏻 Chip chilla: 👎🏻

I'm not a Bluey fan, although if I had kids I would happily watch it with them. As a cartoon fan however, this Chip Chilla show along most of the other children's content the Daily Wire has is clearly meant to signal to their small customer base that they have something similar enough to what their kids want. Based on some of the comments that DW has made, it sounds like they do like Bluey but hate the company that owns it in the States which tells me they'd happily buy the rights to stream it but creating something that's visually similar works in a pinch too. This show while not political is in a weird way not truly for kids for that reason. Also, I'm trying to respect your wishes in regards to politics, but given the history of a lot of the DW's employees and the stuff they say and create, I personally do not blame any animation studio or artist or anyone else for that matter wanting to avoid that company at all costs. DW is kinda where you go when you burn your bridges professionally, like there was a Disney creative who was involved with some Tangled animated series who turned out to be creepy and harmful, now he's at DW. Anyways, decent video.

That fanart was fun to make, thanks for showing it off!

if ben shapiro is canonized in bluey, this means... THERE IS A BLUEY BARBIE MOVIE HFHDJSH note: this is a hypothetical situation

they stole lilo and stitch style because there all just alien

If Chip Chilla and Bluey fought in a fist fight, Bluey would win

Honestly, we All predicted this would happened. Bluey is a great show after All.

Dollhouse that the parents spent hundreds of dollars on: It gets left in the living room Dad: *Get the sledgehammer*

honestly, the people who made Chip Chilla cooked… …cooked straight up USDA-approved baloney. And the fact that it was made by Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh is just absolutely insane. It’s just crazy.

I like to note that Angel Studios exist without any controversy unlike the Daily Wire. Kind of telling that it isn't hated just for being conservative.

I honestly feel like this show's team looked at Bluey and decided "We gotta do our own take on this concept" but they seemingly just tweaked the artstyle and left it there,without taking cues from Bluey's writing and humor. It's Bluey but dumbed down and boring.

Well You definitely have your points but at this point I’m just waiting for this to die down so I never have to think of it again

I think we have a imposter....

The worst part about this show is how neglectful the parents are and how the dad robs the characters of their agency, Bluey isn't even a political show it just teaches good morals and values I wonder if conservatives even like children, children and adults can learn from Bluey about strong family bonds, Chip Chilla on the other hand has parents that lets their kids go off with strangers voiced by Matt Walsh

It's just, their plot is kind of dumb and there's never any character development. It's like eating bread with nothing.

For my opinion, I like Chip Chilla but I Love Bluey. Honestly I kinda just wish DW would just admit they made their own, I’d respect them more if they did. Heck, Jeremy Boreing even said Bluey was a pretty conservative show itself. There is stuff to enjoy in Chip Chilla if you look at it through the lenses of being _Bluey Lite_ because it is clear that for its shortcomings, the writers and DW truly do respect Bluey and have done an OK job at making an American one, but so far just an *OK* job

9:42 Fanboy & Chum Chum are gonna lawyer up after hearing this one.

I have to be honest here, I think chip chilla had some potential to be a decent show, if it used its old artstyle while also taking advice from other shows like, recess, hey Arnold, and Fillmore, I feel like the show could’ve done better if it took that path. I think the main problem with chip chilla has to be the writing. They need to hire a good writer so the show could make sense instead of it being bland. In conclusion, I don’t think chip chilla is that bad I just think it could’ve used some good writing including changing their artstyle but even if they did all of that people are still gonna accuse it of being propaganda or indoctrination since it’s from a company they dislike. Let’s just give the dw a chance since they just released their show days ago, if they see the criticism happening onto their show, they might improve further on in the future so let’s just be patient.

5:44 The demeaning of other companies as "woke" is actually meant to portray offence to media with representation towards minorities. Granted, Disney HAS been often accused of pandering and rainbow capitalism and whatnot, but simply demeaning other stuff as "woke" just because it features women or black characters in prominent roles is really dumb.

This show and its service are one of those things were you could watch it and think its relativity harmless but as soon as you find out the context for their existence, you start to understand why certain things are done in that way. For example, the episode where the parents act like kids may seem cartoony fun but you can also see it as trying to make children look extremely irresponsible and that the parents know best. If it was a Bluey episode, both the parents and kids would have learnt a lesson out of it but Chip doesn't want you to question authority or undermine it with the parents showing 'weakness'. I'm glad that people are criticising the show, it feels like it wasn't made out of passion or inspired by bluey but rather out of spite of how successful it is and how unconventional its appeal is.

😂😅 this reminds me of the Gumball rip off! This is amazing. Thanks for making this video. I’m going to deep dive into this series now and look at the animation style. The ears of the father give me Stitch vibes with a little nook in them from Lelo and Stitch.

They say every clone has something different…. Sometimes

I absolutely love your content! ❤ Could you do a collab with Aussie Marge please? 😅🎉

It’s getting so much hate because it’s not an original work plain and simple

What was that drawn-looking episode from 7:23?? It looks so cool but I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it.

I always thought the old designs were better.

Its an AVERAGE show ... and to be honest I really don’t think it looks like “Bluey” ... honestly the show just looks like every other piece of kids Contant that is made nowadays and I actually wish they had kept the original art style that was unique....

The fact that I got a bluey doll house ad before this video is hilarious😂

There are so many ways to do joyful, comforting children's media that adults can also enjoy. The clip you used of the chinchilla mom stepping on a Lego and then belatedly screaming is very reminiscent of an episode of Big City Greens -- which is also an incredibly fun, enjoyable kids' show that has a lot of heart and is very cozy for adults to watch. Big City Greens is definitely more in the over-the-top, chaotic unrealistic vein than Bluey, but works in that area extremely well -- and while its most frequent main character (Cricket Green) is often faced with learning lessons about not giving in to mischievous impulses, he always loves and is loyal to his family, and he's not the only character who has lessons to learn. I feel like Chip Chilla fails to understand that what hooks a viewer into a show is how much heart that show has. They're just trying to follow a formula and get the same result.

why is there dog cat-bug

14:05 oh my-

2:22 I love the SketchBook app when I was younger 😌

I think children’s cartoons need to be more like Bluey. They need to focus on not the Hyper energetics aspect, but the story. Kids understand stories they understand, deep influential stories. that are unfortunately usually only told in cartoon movies or adult cartoons. The only children’s cartoons that I know of that’s kind of like this is Steven universe and bluey I’m sure there are other ones out there too but people think all kids want is chaos! I was a kid too. I love deep stories. I didn’t understand all the aspects, but I loved these stories so much I watch them when I grew up, and I started to understand more and more. And scary gory things to kids like those as well believe it or not. Just obviously not all out like the movie saw or something.

Some kids will think they're watching Bluey, then when they're older they'll wonder why nobody knows the episode they're talking about.

The swap parent role reminds me of that one amazing world of gumball episode

I don't know why Chip Chilla changed their animation style. It wouldn't change the show that much, but I think the first designs are more appealing.

Who let the Americans cook 🔊🔊🔊🔥🔥🔥

Sadly I was able to only watch 2 episodes because I couldn’t find/buy the other episodes, but what I pointed out was how similar the first 2 episodes lessons are, at least how I see it: Both characters learn to share/not be as selfish, while the second episode targets tattling like dobbing in Swim School Love how you kept the video neutral and not being tempted to what most people say and just rage on the show, especially since I couldn’t watch it 😭 Nice review and sorry you had to watch 😅🙏

Honestly I was one of those parents who thought "oh brother American Bluey here we go with this garbage" but then I thought "well actually wouldn't a show inspired by Bluey if good be a good thing?" I mean seriously I get how everyone wants things to be one way but if you get something good out of it might be worth a watch. However if it just a cash grab idea that poorly executed then no it probably bad. I might give the show a shot sometime but will keep my expectations tempered.

Bluey>Chip Chilla>Peppa Pig

I think honestly the daily wire is trying to broadcast and promote “traditional” families/values in kids tv, and bluey is used as actual inspiration for this with the desire to create more content like that and not to replace it. It seems to me this is just inspired by bluey meant to promote family that’s just not as good because art that is made for the sake of anything but the art, be it mimicking what’s popular or spreading a message, is just inherently less good 98% of the time

Kid: Mom, can we buy the Bluey dvd? Mom: But honey, we have Bluey at home. Bluey at home: “Chipchilla”

Thanks for your neutral take on this. It was really hard to find a review of this show on RU-vid that didn't have their political goggles on. I was just curious about this show and was looking for a not biased take on it.

14:06 I didn’t expect this…

0:42 why 💀

While I may not agree with the parenting tactics, at least their way of teaching is interactive to say the least. I don't mind the artstyle since I love colorful talking animals regardless. My opinions changed now that I finally found someone with a neutral stance (you). I agree that it can be dull for a lot of people since it's more targeted towards kids and I see why people can find it as a rip-off for the art-style and colors. I know I agree with few parts from DailyWire but that doesn't mean I hate Bluey or I'm hateful to liberals. If anyone is a fan of Chip Chilla, I don't care. Do what you wanna do.
