Blue's Big City Adventure

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!

BLUE'S BIG CITY ADVENTURE follows Josh (Josh Dela Cruz), who is given the unique opportunity to audition for Rainbow Puppy's (Brianna Bryan) and Blue's (Traci Paige Johnson) Broadway musical as they flee to New York City. , where they meet new friends and discover the magic of music, dance and following their dreams. The entire "Blue's Clues" team is assembled for this special movie event, with the beloved animated friends and three hosts - Josh, Steve (Steve Burns) and Joe (Donovan Patton) - together for the first time in the Big Apple. .

Very childish, full of clues to follow, almost an adventurous Dora, if you change English for songs, cute little songs, and very, very childish, very cute animation, well produced, very playful, everything very delicate, colorful and cheerful to please the little ones, only the little ones, finally, boring...

Blue's Big City Adventure had a lot of spunk, heart, and musical numbers. The kids loved seeing the storybook land, Steve & Joe, Josh's voice, and the songs. My oldest son rated this a 9/10, as an adult I would have rated it a 5 (watchable once).

The movie lacked plot, continuity, and sense most of the time. There's a night dancing scene right after he gets to New York (but it's day time with a same-day audition). Did not see the point in Josh talking to inanimate objects and them coming alive throughout the film- all it did was distract him from getting where he needed to go. Loved how all the main characters were willing to help one another but the "mystery" and "solution" of finding Josh didn't make sense (and didn't work). The "Blue's Clues" didn't help Josh find where he needed to go. A sad moment had my sensitive kid in tears (that was the only complaint he had for the movie was he didn't want to watch the sad part ever again). I disliked the phrasing of "this was Josh's only chance" for him to follow his dream- life isn't just the pursuit of one dream and a win-or-lose scenario! Even the cab driver told him it's the journey and he was still making it an all-or-nothing moment at the audition.

The overall themes of following your dreams, every day is a gift, & supporting your family (and family can be the ones you choose) were nice but personally felt so over-the-top that they weren't sincere.

There were several nostalgic moments for the older generations. Overall I just wish the story line was better. The actors have great chemistry & passion. I know this is a children's movie but it had the potential to be really special for multi-generations.

Side note: the camera shots, angles, and movements were obnoxious. Lots of jump cuts/sideways shots which got annoying. There were a few unique shots that didn't make me nauseous.

We can remember watching Blue's Clues that ran from 1996 to 2020 back when we were little and enjoying it for the characters, songs, and locations. Now, we have the reboot series Blue's Clues & You that started recently, which is what this movie is based on.

Blue's Big City Adventure (2022) is clearly aimed at little kids who watched the old show and the new show, but I can see fans of Blue's Clues liking this movie. This movie has a nostalgic feel to it, bringing back memories of the old show with callbacks and the return of some characters.

The host of Blue's Clues & You Josh in this movie is doing the best he can acting happy and excited all the time and pretending this animated dog named Blue is there with him like in the show. The well-known dog named Blue is cute and clearly CG when she is moving around and being picked up, but kids will like seeing her, so it is not an issue.

The way the storybook world and New York City are connected was interesting world building and use of magic, making ask questions. The songs were fine, and the dance choreography is good when going around a real location like New York City, along with the two original hosts Steve and Joe showing up to help, which will be satisfying to fans of the show.

Kids will like this movie even if they have not seen the show, but I can see fans of either the old show Blue's Clues or the new show Blue's Clues & You will like this movie. It has a simple plot and likable characters to make this a simple enjoyable time.

Not sure why this movie gets low ratings. It's a broadway inspired movie for KIDS...therefore there's a lot of music! There was enough storyline in there, the TV show is identical in terms of keeping it fun and simple. My almost 2 year was engaged throughout and loved the music and the in between enough to actually watch the whole thing. She danced and sang along enjoying the characters as usual. I even enjoyed it, who doesn't like colourful, musical entertainment with cute characters and humorous side kicks? It was also great that the original hosts were part of the production as well. I hope to see another production of Blues Clues soon.
