Recap / Bluey Pizza Girls

Go To

Bluey and Bingo are making mud pizzas and delivering them to the grownups, but their pedal car's wheel keeps falling off.


Tropes:

  • 2D Visuals, 3D Effects: Muffin's car driving around is animated using cel-shaded CGI.
  • Both Sides Have a Point: An unsaid one concerning Bluey's old car vs. Muffin's new one. On one hand, Pedally (Bluey's car) is slower and faultier. However, aside from the sentiment it has, its flaws also become its strength as it allows the girls make a secondary game out of its need for repairs. On the other hand, Muffin's electric car has its share of flaws, like being too expensive to get dirty, or needing to charge for a long time. But it's also faster, and when used sparingly, serves as a nice mechanic vehicle. All in all, the episode low-key demonstrates that neither new things nor old things are better than the other, and each have their strengths and weakness.
  • Cool Car: Stripe sees his new car as this.
  • Funny Background Event: Socks is peacefully humming to herself, making pretend pizza.. and then her sister and cousins barge over in the background with Muffin's new car.
  • It Runs in the Family: If the credits are anything to go by, Muffin may have gotten her temper from Stripe, as demonstrated when he devolves into a temper tantrum at not being able to open the trunk of his new car.
  • Shout-Out: Muffin's car is designed off a Tesla.
  • Vanity License Plate: Muffin's car has the license plate MFN (Muffin) on it.
  • Wanting Is Better Than Having: Bluey begins the story wishing she had a new car to replace Pedally. When Muffin comes along with her new electric toy car, Bluey second-hand gets her wish. She likes that it's faster and doesn't lose it's wheel like Pedally does. However, there are cons that outweigh the pros, like how they can't put a pizza sign on it, can't use it for 'pizza deliveries' because it's too expensive to get dirty, can't get mud on it, or how it needs to charge for hours at a time. That said, she finds that Pedally is more fun because its tendency to break down gives Muffin something to do in their titular game (play the part of the mechanic). Afterwards, even when Chili recognizes that Bluey could use a new car, Bluey turns down the idea of replacing it now that she understands Pedally's true value.
