Imagine an episode of Bluey but take away all the fun you can, you get that, it is not a series that stands out much, has a color palette that is very similar to Bluey, and with some moments that are not memorable in any way, the first chapter was long and eternal, and had an air that they wanted to emphasize many times that it is an American series. Continuing with the theme of style, the backgrounds used in the house have a great similarity with Bluey, an example is the dining room that uses almost the same color for the walls, in general I would not give another chance to this series. 1/10.

Great fun little show!

To those critiquing it from an adult perspective... why?
It's a show for kids!
As a kids show it excels! It's full of fun approachable healthy lessons and fun historical or cultural backdrops that help to introduce kids to important ideas that are COMPLETELY ignored by all modern culture.
To those giving one star because you hate the DailyWire, thanks for showing how tolerant you actually are of other people with differing perspectives.
Chip Chilla is not political, it is simply American, and in a great way. Optimistically dabbling in key historical moment and cultural landmarks, and keeping a fun fast pace for kids!
Imagine a show that talks to modern kids about how cool the space age was and makes a fun little episode about it, all other kids shows are focused on pointless goofyness or aren't appropriate with political content baked in!
Could it get better? Of course! But for kids it's great.

Warning: Spoilers
I have only checked out the first two episodes so far and I think I'll leave it there. This show is visually similar Bluey. When I heard about this show all I saw were some still images and I honestly thought they were introducing new characters to Bluey. Bluey and similar kids shows have drawn even me in while my child has watched them. This does not. The only reason it doesn't get 1 star for me is the fact it is some what educational although I will say I'm not a fan of how the lesson of tattling is handled in the second episode. Telling the purple chinchilla child (I already can't remember their names) to ease up on reporting on bad news and to try to focus on some good news without a clear explanation on how to actually responsibly gather evidence or what actually qualifies as news worthy. When you consider the company that produces this program is a news company its a bit disappointing. The family itself seems oddly stiff. It's like someone described a typical cartoon centered around a nuclear family to someone who had never had a family, and asked them to make this show.
TLDR: Bland, forgettable, somewhat educational, weird poorly executed life lessons.

It's what it advertised
millertime200620 October 2023
Daily Wire said they were releasing agenda-free, entertaining kids content. That's what it is. I watched 2 episodes with my girls to see it for myself. I laughed along with them, approved, and left them to it. For the next bit while they watched and I went downstairs I continued to hear bursts of laughter. My oldest is 11, she said it was good but didn't rave about it but did like it. Youngest is 7 and was the one cracking up.
Forget sides, I don't want any political agendas pushed on my kids. I want them to be kids. This delivered. I'm looking forward to seeing what else they have in store. I'm hoping for more of the same mentality for adolescents like my oldest daughter but we haven't checked any of the other shows on the platform yet.

Poor imitation.
mathumphreys20 October 2023
No surprise it's review score is low. It's a copy, a blatant grab -for-cash copy. Pathetic.
This is an obvious carbon copy at work with a lazy twist on the plot. The issue isn't about being a kid show, or that it's "just a fun little show" it's about taking someone's idea and style and blatantly trying to cash in. This show is a perfect example of someone seeing a successful show and getting dollar signs on their eyes. Hopefully at the end of the the shows flops and hopefully not too many views become invested in it.
The colours, the family dynamic, the spirit and feel are direct carbon copies of a successful show developed by others who had the imagination and put in the effort to get it going when they're was nothing like it. Lazy carbon copy mercenaries.

Don't be fooled by the ratings bomb
shpzzpmtr21 October 2023
It's painfully obvious to me that these 1 and 2 star reviews were led here to review bomb this show from the hit piece published against Bentkey and Chip-Chilla. Is it so awful that parents have a choice on what programming their children consume? How dare there be an alternative to the trash Disney and company push out?!
On the other hand, my kids love this show. They also love the other Bentkey shows we have seen. Am I entertained by all of these? Not necessarily, but that's not the point. The content is as promised, "agenda free".
I'm willing to bet my kids wouldn't like Mindhunter or The Bear either because it's not for them.

A Bluey Ripoff - not a bad thing
jshutton-2308926 November 2023
Cartoons have been imitating each other since the beginning of animation. While Chip Chilla has many similarities to Bluey (strong family themes, focus on play, animation style, music, even layouts) it's not a carbon copy. The Chilla family spends more time making literary classics accessible to children in an appropriate way. The parents homeschool their children, so there are more concrete lessons in each episode.
Many reviews claim this is a "Bluey ripoff." And it is. Chip Chilla is clearly an attempt to capture that lightning in a bottle that makes Bluey fantastic. But is that a bad thing? Hollywood does this all the time, but their formula is lackluster, at best.
Chip Chilla, in contrast, is a fun show the whole family can enjoy, just like Bluey. And if there's another show trying to be another Bluey, that's fine by me.

Son and daughter both couldn't care less.
altrtheego21 October 2023
Thought it might look entertaining after seeing the change in design from the early initial reveal so we tried it out. My 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son tried for an episode an a half before asking for something else. They clearly weren't feeling it and my wife and I weren't either. There's no soul and they made the dad seem rather doltish, and not in the *fun, you can tell he's just being a dad/this is a kids show* sort of way(though as an engineering dad that might be a personal thing that I'm nitpicky about). It's just bland. We tried again the next day but my daughter almost immediately wanted Gabby's Dollhouse instead and my son asked for Bluey. In general it just doesn't have the same weight as shows made nowadays with lessons for both the kids and parents. My daughter and son have had outstanding growth emotionally and intellectually watching various other cartoons, and this honestly just feels like junk food for their growth.
10/10, would never recommend.

Chip Chilla, a character known for their cheerful disposition and upbeat attitude, has unfortunately fallen short in several crucial aspects. While initially marketed as a relatable and endearing addition to the animated world, the execution of this character leaves much to be desired.
Firstly, Chip Chilla's character development lacks depth and complexity, rendering them one-dimensional and predictable. The repetitive nature of their optimistic persona fails to exhibit any significant growth or internal conflict, making it challenging for audiences to form a genuine emotional connection.
Furthermore, Chip Chilla's storyline often veers into cliché territory, following a formulaic trajectory that fails to offer any surprises or innovative narrative twists. The lack of originality and creative risk-taking diminishes the character's potential impact, leaving viewers disengaged and unenthused.
Additionally, the voice acting associated with Chip Chilla lacks the necessary nuance to bring the character to life. The delivery often comes across as monotonous and uninspired, failing to capture the essence of the character and contribute to a truly immersive viewing experience.
Overall, Chip Chilla's underdeveloped character, predictable storyline, and uninspiring voice acting result in a lackluster portrayal that fails to leave a lasting impression. With a more dynamic approach to character development and a fresh, engaging narrative, Chip Chilla could have been a far more compelling and memorable addition to the animated world.
As a conservative, hardworking Canadian, I cannot in good conscience recommend this show to anyone looking to watch it with their children or grandchildren.

Chip Chilla? CHEAPER CHEATER FITS BETTER!
alexvascue20 October 2023
The show its obviously a really bad copy of Bluey. Do you really want to watch this boring series, or are you just very curious? Because if you are just very curious, this series is just a lazy waste of time, don't give any kind of support to this show, don't even try to search for it on the web to watch it for free, it's not worth it, boring series, lack of charisma in the series in general, and just conservative garbage in general. Better support Bluey by looking at it on legal sites, if you can't, that's fine, you can help it with a good score on this website and give the popularity to the charismatic adorable and healthy family of dogs that they deserves.
My kids loved it
tierneygillihan3 November 2023
This show is getting too much hate! My kids have been obsessed with it since the first episode! Instead of automatically hating because you think it's a Bluey knock off, actually give it a try! Each episode is a good mix of fun and a life lesson. My kids have also been obsessed with the theme song since they first heard it too. We give it a 10/10. We still love Bluey but we're loving this show too! Also love that I don't have to worry about inappropriate content being shoved down my kids' throats! I hope Bentkey isn't discouraged by so many people being negative about this show! We are big fans!
Way to similar to Bluey!
mrreddenene8 November 2023
There is a episode where a character called "Buck" shows Chip Chilla his garage which is very similar to Bandit's room as he is an archelogoist, Why did they make this show. I think the animation is poorly made, Chip also sounds like Bluey which makes no sense at all because Bluey's voice actor is in Australia while this show is in USA. The music is too similar to bluey's theme song, My Brother thinks that Ludo Studio made this. THEY SHOULD SUE THE CREATORS, This was just like miracle star which is worse than this rip off, No need to find oit why i need to see this annoying show. But, why was this show made? I would like to find out!
It's nice to have another show like Bluey!
christineadams-1886028 October 2023
I am surprised to see such negative reviews! I understand people being upset that it's like Bluey, but that is exactly why we like it! Another show that's fun and has good life lessons is great! I am so grateful to have good options of shows to watch with my kids that have will have age appropriate lessons for them to learn from. I find there is great comedy for adults as well. My kids love dancing to the music and I am glad to have another show that they can watch that will teach good moral values. I hope everyone else can see that this is a good show even if it is similar to Bluey! Thank you Chip Chilla!
gave it a chance- wish i didnt
sadbutok23 October 2023
Before I heard it was made by ben shapiro, I heard this was a bluey knockoff. I thought that was unfair to judge a show on, and since I work with kids who love bluey everyday, I thought I'd give it a try and diversify their experience. I always watch things before I show the kids, so I found a free version and watched the first few episodes.
Not only is this incredibly boring, but I was shocked at the misinformation and dysfunctional family. I was uncomfortable by how they approached most topics, and it all seemed like it was made to be rude to the left.
It's not a bluey knockoff, unfortunately. It's just a bad show about talking animals. It does not teach maturity, safety, healthy family dynamics, or even have relatable comedy. It's just boring, sad, and lackluster. You'd be better off watching paint dry.

Overrating To Offset Trolls
michaelvmullin22 October 2023
I'd probably give the show a 7/10. Having another family focused show where parents are actually involved in the daily lives of their children is awesome. The homeschool lessons are fun and creative in the way they teach a subject while also delivering a message.
I understand why people compare Chip Chilla to Bluey, given the color pallete, music, and parental prescense, but I have no gripes with having more shows like Bluey. The characters are not as endearing as Bluey, and my biggest criticism is how prevalent sibling rivalry is throughout the show. My 4 year old said she likes the show more than Bluey for some reason, whatever that is worth (I think Bluey is way better).

Bluey except no funny and zero heart.
abrahamortizalonso23 October 2023
You Can copy the music and copy the animation style, but you can't capture the magic that is Bluey. This show is boring and quite sexist. There's mansplanning and women are taught to stay in the kitchen while the men wait for their dinner. If fathers care about their daughters don't let them watch this unless they are okay with their daughters being later treated like servants by their spouse. Always watch tv shows before showing to.you kids. Next time create something original cause it is apparent that they were very limited on ideas. Also for those saying "it's a kids show and not for adults" imply that kids need dumbed down television.
A VERY AWFUL BLUEY RIPOFF!!!
peabodylevi21 October 2023
This Bluey Ripoff feels more like a Peppa Pig ripoff!!!! The characters are bad, the animation's awful, the voice acting is awful!! If Ludo Studio saw this, i think they should sue the creators!!! Especially Ben Shapiro!!! As a Bluey fan, I am so shocked that this exists!!! Let alone offended by the designs!!! Also the mom in the show is a very bad mom, she's annoying, bland & unoriginal!! Also, the episodes writing make no sense & the parents are very bad parents!! So bad, I'd call child protective services on them!!! If there's anyone who would actually make fanart of this show, they need therapy.
If I could give 0 stars I would
gummybear-1270522 October 2023
Honestly this is bluey but with a much more conservative view on it. It takes all the fun and the actual message of bluey, chews it up, poops it out and then sees what made it through before taking it's own spin on the remnants.
It's incredibly upsetting that the creator (ben Shapiro) would use something that could have been so lovely to push his own ideals onto the younger audience he is targeting here.
Let children be children and enjoy things that bring colour and or life lessons into their lives, do not push political or societal ideals on to our next generation.
Allow them to make their own choices and decide what they will do with their lives as kind and as loving as possible. Children should be supported and educated fairly and freely so that they may understand EVERY side of the story.
This show does NOT do that.

Probably closer to 8/10, but have to offset the ridiculous reviews.
stormtroopersam9 November 2023
Probably closer to 8/10, but I have to offset all the ridiculous reviews. Decent cartoon. My kid likes it. Me and my wife like it. It definitely does not seem like a Bluey knock off, It is its own thing. Do we like Bluey better...yes, Bluey is awesome, but we have watched every episode well more than 10 times now, and even found the Australian exclusive episodes online, so it is just nice that there is another show that is just as wholesome and safe to watch. Who doesn't want that?! If you try to compare it apples to apples to Bluey, you'll most likely be disappointed, just like any children's cartoon when compared to Bluey, but if you view it as a stand alone kids show, it's better than the majority of children shows that are out there right now.
Imagine the most uncreative copycat trash. This is it.
taimursharwani25 October 2023
I feel like ive seen this show before. The music. The colors. The family dynamic. All similar to Bluey but with a horrible story line and a feeling of a toxic family. They father is wearing a headset for God's sake. In Bluey it's obvious the parents are hard workers but the emphasis on family time in Bluey is not rushed. The chin chilas are basically just an "american dream" family but are overworked suckers in a rat race. Poorly done and just a rip off of a truly iconic show with zero fun or good story line. Bluey teaches kids about deep emotional feelings and connections. This show is just stupid. Now imagine introducing your kids to this garbage when Bluey already exists.
Only the left hate..
gamertagrsw31 October 2023
This show is exactly what Bentkey needed.
Yes it is very much their "Bluey" and it will never replace Bluey in our hearts but both of my daughters love it and can enjoy it when they need a break from Bluey.
The episodes feature great learning experiences with golden comedy and great animation that is only rivaled by Bluey.
As a father, this show will warm your heart and make you dance.
The best part is that you don't have to worry about any of that stupid horrible left propaganda pushed on my kids.
The theme is so catchy as well and Rob does a great job as the father.
They better make more!

Horrible for Kids, Subscription is Impossible to Cancel!
xexposee5 November 2023
I swear I'll be previewing every cartoon my kids watch from now on AND the service it streams on. I was excited to see a new children's show backed by public figure me and my family support.
Nothing against Bluey, but I wanted something closer to our family's personal values and it was similar enough visually. The reviews on here were promising, the kids loved it and from what I would hear in the background, it sounded perfectly fine. I thought it was a perfect addition to the kid's tv time, but what do I get? A sudden influx of back-talk and attitude.
The kids are louder, more irritable, and started picking fights with each other more frequently. Both me and my husband were startled by this random development but it didn't take long for us to catch on and see they started imitating/mimicking the characters. I tried giving it the benefit of the doubt but it didn't get better no matter what we tried, so we have to pull the plug on Chip Chilla.
This is my own fault, I'm picky with the media my children consume and I immediately picked this up based on Bentkey's marketing.
Worst mistake ever, don't even get me started on the nightmare that it is to try and cancel your subscription, you literally cannot cancel it on your own- there are no options, you have to contact customer support. Trust me, your kids aren't missing much with this. It's not worth the headaches.

People are taking this way too seriously.
josephmaricevic4 November 2023
First, for context, I have seen episodes from both this show and the other show people are "claiming" is outright a carbon copy. Second, its a children's show, RELAX. Yes, the color palette is similar and the music could be similar as well. But I see a show and network doing it right. This show has got potential. To the people saying this show is trash, then don't watch it, be adults and have your kids watch the show you want to watch. Who really cares? The storylines are different, the themes are different and this is a great opportunity for alternatives for those who wish to give it a chance. Both shows can exist and its up to the people to decide which will be on top in the end.
Cheap, pathetic copy
nstuart-683255 November 2023
This isn't even fun to watch. It's nothing short of bland and a ripoff. I barely even watch kids' cartoons anymore, but I know a ripoff when I see one. Some of the shows I loved and enjoyed as a kid, ex Gumball and Bluey, have been copied in the worst way possible. I have never been a big fan of ripoffs - the exact reason I never watch them.
There are even videos on YouTube that backup my statements that Chip Chilla is a cheap copy of Bluey. Plus, others who have watched the show claim it's not even fun to watch. That's what ripoffs are: Boring copies of another amazing show. Do you wanna know how mad this freaking makes me?!

copypasta of Bluey
vffgtylerkcv1 November 2023
Why i think this is becuase they want to make bluey not a show anymore but bluey is so much beeter then chip chilla and the show should go away for good. And i should say that they are coping them bad if the bbc finds out they will most likely take the show down i would think anyways bluey is so good that one of the bluey episodes got like a 9.4 out of 10 stars shows that bluey is so much better. And i think bluey would last forever as a bluey fan i love the show and it should never stop i just love the show so much that i even watch it in school when i have no homework is just a good show in overall.
