    If I am remembering correctly the creator was working on Peppa Pig and decided to go back home and design an Australian cartoon with a similar model.

    Obviously its no guarantee of Bluey’s success but it looks like Peppa has been running since 2004.

    Is long as they don’t include too many references to the fad of the moment (e.g.flossing) they can be evergreen as new kids age into the target demographic.

    My son was two when Bluey started and while he has aged of following it closely he still checks out the new episodes two or three times a year with a sense of nostalgia.

      He was an animator on Peppa Pig, yeah. I don’t think he ever had any creative control.

      It’s remarkable to me how much better Bluey is than Peppa. Kids have no taste, but hopefully that quality keeps Bluey at least as popular as the pig.
