Ryan Reynolds Productions’ Heartwarming Zillow Ad Is Inspired by a Bluey Episode About Moving
Ryan Reynolds and Zillow are collaborating to show that, despite a recent heartbreaking Bluey episode, moving might not be as horrible as you think.
The touching Zillow commercial, which was inspired by the heartfelt season finale of the Australian children’s program “The Sign,” was published by the actor’s production business, Maximum Effort.
The commercial, which debuted on April 25, is a parody of the heartwarming episode in which fans saw the lovable animation characters Bluey, Bingo, Bandit, Chilli, and the extended Heeler family deal with the drastic adjustment of relocating to a new city.
The humorous advertisement, which aims to show viewers that relocating need not always be a depressing event, is narrated by Dan Brumm, the voice of Uncle Stripe on the popular Disney+ series.

We at Zillow understand that a house is more than just its windowsills and flooring. As the camera moves around the interior of a house full of moving boxes, Brumm declares, “A home is where memories are made.”
He goes on, “And moving into a new home might just be a positive thing, despite how a particular children’s show made us all feel recently. An opportunity to start again, create new memories, and start a completely new chapter.
After then, the camera pans to the front of a blue house, where four dogs are seated next to a sign that reads “for sale.”
With a sigh, Brumm continues, focusing on one of the puppies’ apparent dejected looks, saying, “Don’t you look at me like that. Come on folks, you’re killing me here. I’m really sad.
The advertisement was also posted to Maximum Effort’s official Instagram account, along with the amusing description, “A true fixer-pupper.”

Following its April 14 broadcast, fans couldn’t stop crying over the “super sized” Bluey episode. The characters’ celebration of Bandit’s brother Radley’s marriage to Frisky and their preparation for some more significant life changes brought many viewers to tears.
The Los Angeles Times summary states, “They are selling their house and moving because of Bandit’s new job, something Bluey, in particular, is not happy about.” “Chilli is attempting to be encouraging, but it’s obvious that she also doesn’t want to move.”

Four times longer than a typical Bluey show, this 28-minute special had viewers giddy on X following its release.
