Bluey fans are outraged that the beloved Australian cartoon has released two additional “mini-episodes” for American audiences that are not available in Australia.
The children’s show’s official Facebook page posted an announcement on Thursday saying the first batch of 20 mini-episodes in production were now streaming.
Now that the first seven have been released, Australians were left angry in the comments when they quickly realised they only had access to five of them.
Viewers were elated when they tuned into ABC iView and ABC Kids recently and discovered that Burger Dog, Bingo 3000, Letter, Hungry and Animals were all available to watch.
But that enthusiasm quickly diminished when they discovered there were fans from other countries online praising two other episodes that weren’t available to Australians.
Since the Heelers’ hometown is located in Brisbane, fans of the series were surprised to learn that American audiences had access to the bonus mini-episodes Muffin Unboxing and Three Pigs.
The one to three minute bonus clips are being touted as the best of the lot and loyal Australian fans are furious at not having access to them.
“Wish we had Muffin Unboxing and Three Pigs in Australia,” one person wrote, while another scathing comment read: “It’s OUR show! We shouldn’t miss it!”

A third added: “Could Australians get the two extra mini episodes the rest of the world received as they claim they are available ‘globally’?”
“I’ve checked Disney+ and iView and can’t find them. Bluey, what’s going on? I’m in Brisbane, apparently Bluey’s ‘real world’,” wrote another.
Someone else commented: ‘It’s a shame the world saw them before Australia, what a sloppy job the production team did.’

“It’s an Australian show, we should have it on first or at least at the same time,” another shouted.
One angry viewer said: “So the BEST two are the ones that us in Australia (their older fans) aren’t ALLOWED to see. They have to explain themselves to a bunch of angry, insulted Australians.”
“Why aren’t they ALL in Australia? Please, this is a joke and totally disrespectful!” exclaimed one passionate fan.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Bluey’s creators, Ludo Studio, for comment.
