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.
