Arc Symbol | |
Blue's Big City Adventure / int_11e0d645 | comment |
Arc Symbol: Swirls have been in the series since the beginning, being symbols made to represent skidoo and the Storybook World in general, although originally they were mainly decorative they gradually became more and more prevalent especially for Josh who left little blue swirls behind when he skidooed. Come the this movie and it's revealed that the swirls didn't just represent skidoo, but also when magic is manifested in general, appearing whenever Josh unconsciously used his reality warping ability | |

Fairytale Motifs | |
Blue's Big City Adventure / int_222059fa | comment |
Fairytale Motifs: The film seems to have some inspirations on The Wizard of Oz with some elements inverted. Josh particularly seems to be inspired by protagonist Dorothy Gale, being is The Ingenue one who is associated with the color blue wears red shoes and is taken by a "swirl" (in this case a Skidoo instead of a tornado) to a new world accompanied by his puppy where his mean of transport makes a bad landing creating confusion. In this new world he needs to find a person who came from the same world as him to complete his objective and along the way he makes new friends who advise him about courage (Ali Stroker), heart (Taboo) and wisdom (The Cabbie), following by a golden place (the NYC Thinking Chair) and learning that what he needed was already with him. With the role that belonged to the witches being replaced by Josh's own anxiety. | |

Blue's Big City Adventure / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The sign for Blue Prints Detective Agency (itself a nod to the 1995 pilot, Blue Prints) has "Est. 1996" on it, 1996 being the year the original Blue's Clues premiered. Fred from Blue's Room makes a cameo as a puppet in Central Park during "That's My Song". The puppet theater is also named "The Frederica Puppet Theater", after Fred's full name. The taxi cab advertisement for "Avenue Blue" has a review quote attributed to Sprinkles, another Blue's Room character. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
Blue's Big City Adventure / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: While the game of Blue's Clues is useful in the small rural neighborhood they live in, it is practically useless here, not only because the size of the city makes searching for clues very difficult, but also because Blue herself doesn't have an exact answer, Blue is smart but doesn't have all the answers, in this case all she could do was give a generic answer about a rainbow curtains theater, rather than an exact address. | |

Continuity Nod: The Blue's Clues episode "Blue Wants to Play a Game" is referenced when Steve relates to Joe about how the latter was unable to figure out the answer to Blue's Clues: a duck, a duck, and a goose; Joe points out that that was Steve. The quote on Mr. Coffee Cup reads "I can be anything that I want to be", a reference to a song in Blue's Big Musical Movie. | |

Left the Background Music On: Played for Laughs. Steve questions where the saxophone riff is coming from whenever he says "a mystery". He looks over his shoulder to reveal that it's Snail. | |

Wise Tree: In this version of New York City, Central Park is full of happy animated trees that remind Josh that he needs to find his last clue for his audition. | |

Blue's Big City Adventure / int_a6c677c4 | comment |
Not Hyperbole: "Happiness is Magic" may seem like a slightly corny phrase to represent optimism, but it is revealed to be literally where Josh's magic comes from, with Steve and Joe looking genuinely shocked when this is revealed to be the case. | |

Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: Joe tries to be that for Steve, but is ineffective due to being literally as silly as he is. Taxi Cab is that for Josh, gently explaining to Josh what he did wrong and giving advice in a friendly way to improve his situation. | |

Fish out of Water | |
Blue's Big City Adventure / int_af696bef | comment |
Fish out of Water: Josh mentions feeling this way in New York City, as it is completely different from anything Josh has ever experienced in Storybook World. It is much noisier than the rural environment he is used to, his eccentric behavior was seen as crazy rather than friendly like at home and objects are not naturally animated so talking to them is seen as strange, luckily Blue is there with him, to prevent him from panicking. | |

Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny! | |
Blue's Big City Adventure / int_b7bc7d28 | comment |
Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Deconstructed. Josh, like in the show, has a painfully short attention span, but unlike the show here it's not Played for Laughs, Josh gets lost in the city, forgets his notebook and almost loses a job opportunity with his distractions, and he himself recognizes this. As Taxi Cab points out, Josh misses and will likely continue to miss a lot of important things (literally and figuratively) if he doesn't start paying attention to the world around him. | |

Drives Like Crazy: Skidoo Express. Hilariously despite being a talking bus his safe driving capabilities are questionable at best. Not only does he jump into the middle of the road making Josh scream, he also drives at high speed towards a dead end without informing Josh of how things work and lands out of control, knocking over several things in Times Square making some people run away in panic. | |
