“Bluey ”Episode About Moving Inspires Heartwarming Zillow Ad from Ryan Reynolds’ Production Company: WATCH
The commercial is a play on "The Sign," the animated children’s show’s emotional season finale that premiered on April 14
Ryan Reynolds is teaming up with Zillow to prove that moving maybe isn’t so bad after all — despite a recent tear-jerking Bluey episode.
The actor’s production company, Maximum Effort, has released a heartwarming ad with Zillow that draws inspiration from the emotional season finale of the Australian children’s show titled “The Sign.”
Released on April 25, the commercial is a play on the touching episode in which viewers watched the beloved animated characters Bluey, Bingo, Bandit, Chilli and the extended Heeler family navigate the massive change of moving to a different city.
Dan Brumm, who voices Uncle Stripe on the hit Disney+ series, narrates the playful ad to help viewers see why moving doesn’t necessarily have to be a sad experience.

He continues, “And despite how a certain children’s show made us all feel recently, moving into a new home might just be a good thing. A chance to make new memories, a fresh start, a whole new chapter.”

The video then cuts to the front exterior of a blue house where four dogs are sitting next to a “for sale” sign.
Zooming in on one of the pups’ seemingly sad expressions, Brumm adds with a sigh: “Don’t you look at me like that. Ugh, come on guys, you’re killing me here!”
Maximum Effort’s official Instagram account also shared the commercial along with the funny caption: “A true fixer-pupper.”
