Bluey: Actress Melanie Zanetti shares parenting advice from the show

One of the voice actors from the popular Australian TV show ‘Bluey’ has shared the parenting tips that fans can’t get enough of.

The wholesome cartoon about Bluey, a six-year-old blue heeler pup, and his family touches on a wide range of topics, from deafness to infertility and even ADHD.

Actress Melanie Zanetti, who plays the voice of Chilli, Bluey’s mother, says the show is educational for both children and parents.

“I heard parents say there’s an episode where Chilli says ‘I need 20 minutes,'” he said. 7Life.

“Parents tell me that this episode has really helped their conversations with their children.”

Now, Ms. Zanetti has revealed the parenting tips fans learned from the show. “I heard parents say there’s an episode where Chilli says ‘I need 20 minutes,'” she told 7Life.

In one episode, Bluey’s dad, Bingo, explained the concept of “tactical pee,” when parents encourage children to go to the bathroom before leaving the house.

‘The council changed their lives. Brilliant, I love it,” said Ms. Zanetti.

The show also addresses infertility through Chilli’s sister, Brandy, who is unable to have children.

Since the show began in 2018, Bluey has gained a worldwide following, and in 2020, when Series 2 aired, it drew a late-night metropolitan audience of over a million viewers.

according to an ABC reportduring 2019-2020, Bluey had 63 million iview show views in total.

The show also initially created confusion, as the characters seemed somewhat similar to other popular animated shows Family Guy and Peppa Pig.

“Not many people knew what to make of it,” Daley Pearson, the executive producer of Bluey, told the BBC in 2019.

“People weren’t sure if it fell into some kind of prime time comedy, you know, Family Guy or if it fell somewhere into Peppa Pig.”

It comes after Ms. Zanetti and her co-worker David McCormack, who voices the character Bandit, met for the first time in person last month.

The two actors are one of the most successful on-screen couples in the world and seemed comfortable as they sat next to each other in an interview with Jimmy Fallon.

But it turns out that they only met that day.

Chilli, left, and Bandit, right, left, are one of Australia’s most popular on-screen couples. Jimmy Fallon was excited to meet them and stated that Bluey is his favorite show.

“(We met) two days ago, for the first time,” Zanetti told the host, smiling.

“We record separately, we live in different cities and I travel a lot for work,” he explained.

This was something that seemed to surprise the host, as both have been central cast members of the popular children’s show since 2018.

McCormack agreed that the arrangement was not what he had hoped for when he signed up for the show.

“I thought we’d all be sitting around a table, you know, like in the movies,” he said.

“But we are isolated in our cabins,” he added.

McCormack lives in Sydney, while Zanetti commutes between Brisbane and Los Angeles for work, this added to state lockdowns meant they never had a chance to meet.

The stars also talked about how they managed to score Bluey’s parents’ parts.

McCormack said he was in an elevator one day when someone asked him to participate. He pushed back and said that he couldn’t act, but finally agreed to try.
