Blue's Big City Adventure

My kids grew up on Blue's Clues. We still watch the Christmas specials each year. We love Steve & Joe. It was so good to see them again. But the premise of the show, coming to a "real" NYC just didn't work for any of us (my kids range from 9 to 22). We feel that if they would've been in a fictional place, it would have worked better. That's what made the original so magical. We loved the cameos, but there could have been more. It was good to see Steve & Joe, but the storyline, even for kids, didn't work. We didn't understand the idea of talking to real objects then turning into cartoons. Maybe Josh can go to Broadway and Steve can come home.

My entire family loves this movie. What a wonderful message and such fabulous musical numbers. Joshua Dela Cruz is an amazing actor and musician. We loved getting to see him shine in his Broadway background; he truly is a star. He is an inspiration for every little boy and girl wanting to achieve something big. We loved seeing so many cameos and having the three cousins come together. Blue and the crew are as cute as ever, and the plot line is perfect for its viewing audience. Children of all ages will be dancing, singing and playing along, helping Josh and Blue along the way. 10/10 recommend!

I felt there were too many songs and not enough story. It seemed that they sang a song at every turn instead of giving some depth to the overall story. It did have some nice parts in it. I feel that it could be good for someone that does not watch the show and hasn't seen some of the old cast members again. It was not as magical as an experience because we have watched the show. My kids lost interest and left me alone to watch it. I think that cutting out maybe half of the songs would have been better. They really like the show though, just the movie didn't cut it. Maybe they will do it again sometime.

The Blue's Clues & You cast takes a bite out of the "Big Apple" to follow their dreams in their new hit movie musical, Blue's Big City Adventures! This film has something for the entire family -- from big dreams, superb dance numbers, multi-talented guests appearances -- all while still managing to fit in Blue's clues to help along the way. While watching this magical film, you feel the joy and entertainment you always get from the Blue's Clues franchise!

Blue's Big City Adventures follows Blue's Clues & You host, Josh, (Joshua Dela Cruz), as he heads to New York for a dream audition for Rainbow Puppy, (Brianna Bryan), who is following her own dream of creating her first Broadway musical. As Josh and Blue (Traci Paige Johnson) start on the adventure of a lifetime to the big city, Josh realizes he left his handy-dandy notebook with the audition information and now has to uncover clues to help him get to the audition before three o'clock.

I love how well this film highlights all the incredible things that make New York, New York. From the busyness, its famous pretzels, Times Square jumbotrons, street performances, taxis and even, being known as the place where dreams are made true. This film is the perfect tour guide to New York. There are sensational cameos such as B. D. Wong, who helps Rainbow Puppy cast for her musical. The camera angles and the music are special features and contribute to keeping the storyline interesting and flowing, especially for younger viewers. Fun Fact: Joshua Dela Cruz's real-life story is very similar to his character Josh's in this film, in that he moved from Dubai to America to fulfill his dreams of being on Broadway the way Josh travels from Storybook World to New York to be on Broadway.

Of course, keeping with the Blue's Clues' theme of teaching life's lessons, Blue's Clues Big City Adventures, is packed with different messages. The biggest takeaway is how you should never give up on your dreams, otherwise, how will you know if you can make them a reality? Josh faces different obstacles while trying to pursue his "big break," including being nervous and losing his handy-dandy notebook, but he stays focus on his goal and ready to show what he can do.

I give Blue's Big City Adventures 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 18, plus adults who will love it too. This is truly the perfect movie for a family. Blue's Big City Adventures is available on Paramount+ beginning November 18, 2022. By Tiana S., KIDS FIRST!

First off, when did Joe become such a hottie? Wow he looked great in this movie. That aside, it's a heartwarming, team building movie that teaches your basic morals. It's great to see Steve, and the whole gang. I'm 44, and I enjoyed it. I don't even like musicals but this movie was enjoyable.

Everyone comes together and the cameos, the surprises, everything was just great. No matter how old you are, you're never too old for Blues Clues.

The colors are fantastic. Bright and popping. This film was a lot of fun and I'm so glad to see all the cast reunite. From Steve, Joe, & Josh. Such great synergy and was an all inclusive fun movie. You and your family will enjoy it.
