Episode Recap
Warning Spoilers!
Bandit is taking his daughters to the movies to see a movie called Chunky Chimp, and Bingo is excited as she plays with a cardboard cutout of Chunky Chimp, but Bluey is a bit nervous, since she's never been to the movies before and is afraid there will be thunder in the movie. However, she is keen to watch the movie, especially since her friend, Mackenzie, has seen it.
Bandit then takes the girls to the front desk of the snack bar and orders tickets and a tub of popcorn (disappointing Bingo, since she wanted a giant one but he orders a small one). On Bluey's request, he asks if there are "scary bits", and the ticket salesman scares Bluey further by revealing that there is a thunderstorm towards the end.
Bandit and the girls enter the movie and watch the trailers, with Bluey still a bit apprehensive about the thunderstorm. The movie begins, and it shows a pink chimpanzee named Chunky Chimp building a bicycle, only to be berated by another chimp for being "different". Then, he starts singing about how he wishes he wasn't different, to Bandit's annoyance.
Bingo spills her popcorn, so Bandit takes the girls to replace it, with Bluey feeling a bit insecure. She remembers how she's the only one in her friend group to have never been to the movies, and fears this makes her "different", like the chimp in the movie, but Bandit tells her not to worry too much.
They go back to the movie, where Chunky Chimp is wanting to be on land instead of in the trees and is told to "be himself". Meanwhile, Bingo is bored and wants to explore. She then needs to relieve herself, so Bandit takes her to the bathroom. While Bingo uses the bathroom, Bluey wonders if she should also "be herself", but Bandit tells her not to take the movie too seriously.
When the thunderstorm scene comes on, Bluey feels nervous and wants to leave. Bandit agrees to let her leave, but Bingo has run off and he needs Bluey's help retrieving her. Bluey has trouble as she has her eyes closed and covered in fear. However, upon hearing a character in the movie say, "There's no one else quite like you," she opens her eyes and isn't scared anymore. Once Bandit gets Bingo, he is ready to leave, but Bluey has changed her mind and wants to stay. Thus, they finish watching the movie, which ends on a musical number about being oneself.
