YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A children’s cartoon about a family of dogs had to edit one of its episodes about fitness after audiences objected to the father character being self-critical of his weight.

“Bluey” is a cartoon about a family of Australian Cattle Dogs that has become wildly popular in recent years.

It has ranked among the top 10 most streamed series in the US according to recent Nielsen ratings and even got a balloon in New York City’s Thanksgiving Day parade.

A recent episode of the show was reportedly edited by its creators at Brisbane, Australia-based Ludo Studios after some accused one episode of ‘fat-shaming.’

“The latest instalment [sic] of Bluey, which was broadcast on ABC in Australia, showed the title character’s parents complaining about their weight,” BBC’s Nichola Rutherford wrote. “Critics said the show could lead to young viewers developing worries about their own bodies. An ABC spokesperson said the episode had been edited, and the new version would be distributed globally.”
