The Adventure

**The Adventure** is an episode from the first season of *Bluey*.

## Synopsis

### ABC Kids

Bluey and Chloe are playing at school - Bluey is the Kindly Queen ruling over her babies but they are hungry, so she sends Princess Chloe out to find food. The Princess is joined by her best horse friend, Honey (after the first of MANY quick costume changes) and they set off for the farm. In fact, there are so many imaginative costume and character changes in this episode, that you will see CHANGE in capital letters whenever it happens.

The pair encounter "The Terriers", who perform an under-arm farting repertoire before CHANGE Princess Bluey stands up to them, and they pledge their loyalty.

The girls arrive at the ‘farm’ to find that all the fruit bushes are empty. CHANGE Grandma Fairy arrives to tell Princess Bluey that the Greedy Queen is responsible and that she must defeat her.

Princess Bluey is too scared though and runs away. CHANGE Honey horse returns to the fruit bushes only to encounter the Greedy Queen who turns her to stone.

CHANGE Princess Chloe returns to find her best horse friend frozen and vows to find the Greedy Queen. She embarks on a solo mission and comes across the CHANGE Greedy Queen.

Princess Chloe is cornered when, luckily, “The Terriers” arrive with their under-arm farting to distract the Queen. Princess Chloe escapes down the hill but the Greedy Queen almost catches her - the girls swap CHANGE and seamlessly continue with the game.

Princess Bluey reaches a river she can’t cross but CHANGE Grandma Fairy arrives to give her a magic tennis ball and tell her that she can become anything she desires. When the CHANGE Greedy Queen reappears, Princess Bluey stands up to her and throws the tennis ball. The Queen chases it and drops her freeze wand, which the Princess grabs and turns her to stone.

CHANGE Princess Chloe is now reunited with Honey Horse (Bluey) as The Terriers cheer them on.

On the way home from school, Chloe’s Dad mistakenly assumes that playing princesses means sipping tea in a castle.... Chloe pulls out her freeze wand....

### Disney

Calypso's school transforms into a castle, and Calypso is the Kindly Queen ruling over the kingdom. This day, however, food is running short, and all of her babies are starving, so she sends her eldest daughter, Princess Chloe, out to find food. The Princess is joined by her best horse friend, Honey (Bluey), and they set off for the farm where the Princess was born. The pair encounter three skunks (the Terriers), who spray their very nasty smell and state boys are stronger than girls. Princess Chloes stands up to them by stating the complete opposite, and they pledge their loyalty and allow the pair to pass. The girls arrive at the farm... only to find that the whole farm has turned into a winter wonderland, complete with snowy owls, Arctic foxes and snowshoe hares.

Grandma Fairy (Indy) arrives to tell Princess Chloe that the Greedy Witch is responsible, with her reasoning that her palace melted in a nasty fire and now she wants revenge! She goes on to say that the Princess' parents died in one of the Witch's ice attacks, resulting in her being adopted by the Kindly Queen, the Witch's nemesis, and that she must defeat her. Princess Chloe is too scared to face her, though, but before she is able to run away, she and Grandma Fairy notice Honey Horse is missing. It's revealed that Honey Horse is in the forest behind the barn, picking fruits for the Queen and her babies. Unfortunatley, though, the Greedy Witch (now more masculine since she didn't want to be called a hag anymore) notices her and freezes the poor horse into a block of ice. Princess Chloe and Grandma Fairy return to find their horse friend frozen and vows to find and defeat the Greedy Witch.

As the two embark on their mission, they come across a village that has been frozen by the Witch. The Witch herself comes out and tells them that they're next, only for the two to notice her more manly appearance. The last straw is when Grandma Fairy notices the Witch has blue teeth, thus resulting in the latter to take offense and start shooting ice balls from her staff towards the girls. Grandma Fairy flies away, while the Princess hides behind a rock; luckily, the skunks arrive with their nasty smell to distract the Queen and unfreeze the village. Princess Chloe escapes down the hill, but the Greedy Witch refreezes the village (skunks included) after being called a hag once more. She then flies on her broom and summons a portal under the Princess - leading her to fall to the canopy of a tropical rainforest.

A jaguar mother (Honey) and her babies (Bingo and Missy) then approach her and, through their jauguar purrs, tell the Princess that she must be brave and defeat the Witch. Grandma Fairy soon arrives, and gives the Princess a wand so the two can defeat the Witch. They then arrive in a volcanic area that was once the Greedy Witch's lair, where they are greeted by the Witch herself. Princess Chloe demands the Witch turn Honey Horse back to normal or she'll freeze her; the Witch laughs this off, and this results in a huge battle against the girls and the Witch, with plenty of ice bombs and balls from the Witch's staff, jumping off ledges, and even avoiding the lava. The Princess, Grandma Fairy and the Witch are now on a tilting plaform above the entire area, and the Witch tells the two to give up. Suddenly, the girls begin waving their wands and summon a spell to send the Witch flying away to an unknown area (probably the jungle).

Once everything is unfrozen, Princess Chloe is now reunited with Honey Horse (Bluey) as she, Grandma Fairy and the skunks cheer for the Witch's defeat. They along with the jaguars all head back to the castle for a huge feast, with the Kindly Queen congratulating her daughter and Grandma Fairy for defeating the Greedy Witch. As the feast continues, the castle transforms back to its previous state, though Calypso and the others are still in their costumes.

## Trivia

* This episode was formatted in a cinematic aspect ratio as opposed to the typical 16:9 aspect ratio.
* The Disney version of this episode is eleven minutes long, as opposed to seven minutes. This makes this version of the episode the second-longest of the entire show; the only episodes that are longer are, funnily enough, the Disney versions of Typewriter and Easter, both of which run for twelve minutes and also feature Tom Baker, though only the former has the Greedy Witch, since it's a sequel to this episode.
* Despite usually doing her vocal effects, E.G. Daily does not do Bluey's vocal effects for this episode. This is because Karen Prell wanted to do Bluey's horse sounds.
	+ This would happen again in Housework, with Daily doing Bluey's other vocal effects in that episode.
	+ However, Daily would go on to provide Bluey's horse sounds in the sequels.
* This is the second episode to have a guest composer lead the music department alongside Mike O’Donnell and Junior Campbell, the first being The Creek with Helena Czajka and Jazz D'Arcy. In this case, the guest composer is Trevor Jones, known for his work on *The Dark Crystal* and *Labyrinth*.
