BLUE'S BIG CITY ADVENTURE follows Josh (Josh Dela Cruz), who is given the unique opportunity to audition for Rainbow Puppy's (Brianna Bryan) and Blue's (Traci Paige Johnson) Broadway musical as they flee to New York City. , where they meet new friends and discover the magic of music, dance and following their dreams. The entire "Blue's Clues" team is assembled for this special movie event, with the beloved animated friends and three hosts - Josh, Steve (Steve Burns) and Joe (Donovan Patton) - together for the first time in the Big Apple. .
Very childish, full of clues to follow, almost an adventurous Dora, if you change English for songs, cute little songs, and very, very childish, very cute animation, well produced, very playful, everything very delicate, colorful and cheerful to please the little ones, only the little ones, finally, boring...

Not sure why this movie gets low ratings. It's a broadway inspired movie for KIDS...therefore there's a lot of music! There was enough storyline in there, the TV show is identical in terms of keeping it fun and simple. My almost 2 year was engaged throughout and loved the music and the in between enough to actually watch the whole thing. She danced and sang along enjoying the characters as usual. I even enjoyed it, who doesn't like colourful, musical entertainment with cute characters and humorous side kicks? It was also great that the original hosts were part of the production as well. I hope to see another production of Blues Clues soon.
My kids grew up on Blue's Clues. We still watch the Christmas specials each year. We love Steve & Joe. It was so good to see them again. But the premise of the show, coming to a "real" NYC just didn't work for any of us (my kids range from 9 to 22). We feel that if they would've been in a fictional place, it would have worked better. That's what made the original so magical. We loved the cameos, but there could have been more. It was good to see Steve & Joe, but the storyline, even for kids, didn't work. We didn't understand the idea of talking to real objects then turning into cartoons. Maybe Josh can go to Broadway and Steve can come home.
First off, when did Joe become such a hottie? Wow he looked great in this movie. That aside, it's a heartwarming, team building movie that teaches your basic morals. It's great to see Steve, and the whole gang. I'm 44, and I enjoyed it. I don't even like musicals but this movie was enjoyable.
Everyone comes together and the cameos, the surprises, everything was just great. No matter how old you are, you're never too old for Blues Clues.
The colors are fantastic. Bright and popping. This film was a lot of fun and I'm so glad to see all the cast reunite. From Steve, Joe, & Josh. Such great synergy and was an all inclusive fun movie. You and your family will enjoy it.

Blue's Big City Adventure had a lot of spunk, heart, and musical numbers. The kids loved seeing the storybook land, Steve & Joe, Josh's voice, and the songs. My oldest son rated this a 9/10, as an adult I would have rated it a 5 (watchable once).
The movie lacked plot, continuity, and sense most of the time. There's a night dancing scene right after he gets to New York (but it's day time with a same-day audition). Did not see the point in Josh talking to inanimate objects and them coming alive throughout the film- all it did was distract him from getting where he needed to go. Loved how all the main characters were willing to help one another but the "mystery" and "solution" of finding Josh didn't make sense (and didn't work). The "Blue's Clues" didn't help Josh find where he needed to go. A sad moment had my sensitive kid in tears (that was the only complaint he had for the movie was he didn't want to watch the sad part ever again). I disliked the phrasing of "this was Josh's only chance" for him to follow his dream- life isn't just the pursuit of one dream and a win-or-lose scenario! Even the cab driver told him it's the journey and he was still making it an all-or-nothing moment at the audition.
The overall themes of following your dreams, every day is a gift, & supporting your family (and family can be the ones you choose) were nice but personally felt so over-the-top that they weren't sincere.
There were several nostalgic moments for the older generations. Overall I just wish the story line was better. The actors have great chemistry & passion. I know this is a children's movie but it had the potential to be really special for multi-generations.
Side note: the camera shots, angles, and movements were obnoxious. Lots of jump cuts/sideways shots which got annoying. There were a few unique shots that didn't make me nauseous.
