House of Bloo's is the first Made-for-TV Movie for Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and serves as the Pilot Movie / Pilot Episode to the show. It was released on August 13, 2004.It introduces us to Mac, a shy eight-year-old living in dingy apartment with his distant mother and cruel thirteen-year-old brother Terrence who bullies on him with his mom being away for so long. With the only positive outlit in his life being his imaginary friend - and best friend - Blooregard Q. Kazoo (or "Bloo" for short), who's always there to help Mac confront Terrence with mind games and sass, which led to tons of fights in the house.When Mac's mother gets tired of the three always fighting when she comes home to a wrecked apartment, she forces Mac to get rid of Bloo, thinking Bloo's the reason for Terrence bullying Macnote Spoiler, it's not. Terrence is just an ass.. And since she's nice enough to let Bloo stay one more night, a distraught Bloo comes across a TV commercial for "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends"—"where good ideas are not forgotten," according to the motto. But while Mac and Bloo both think Foster's will be a good place for Bloo to live, there's a catch: if Bloo stays there, he will be eligible for adoption! | |

Unknown Rival: When Duchess reveals herself to Bloo as the mastermind behind his kidnapping and attempted murder, Bloo is confused. It turns out, he doesn't even remember who Duchess is. The two were only in the same room together twice before. Both of those occasions were barely even ten seconds long, and not one time did the two interact directly. | |

Your Television Hates You: After Mac’s mother tells him that he can’t keep Bloo anymore, the latter tries watching TV to take his mind off of it. But, every channel he flips on just keeps reminding him that he has to leave, making him angry, at least until he sees a commercial for Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends. | |

While most of the voices are pretty on par, Mac and Bloo have completely different voices. Mac's voice is far more higher while Bloo's is far more lower, when in the series it's the other way around. This weirdness can be heard best when comparing the movie to the recaps for Parts 1 & 2, which contain the more well-known acting, with Bloo being more higher pitched and Mac being deeper (though still not entirely there) | |

Even Evil Has Standards | |
| House of Bloo's / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: Hilariously subverted. When Duchess offers Terrence the chance to team up with her to kill Bloo, Terrence gives a speech to Duchess about how he's disgusted that she would ever contemplate taking Bloo out of existence for good... before unpredictably asking how she does it and being very eager to formulate the plan. | |

The Stinger: Each of the three parts when reruned as separate have an additional gag relating to the part. Part 1 has Bloo channel surfing like at the beginning and stops at The Powerpuff Girls. Part 2 has Mojo Jojo appear during the chase scene, replacing Jackie Khones. Part 3 has a repeating loop of the Pac-Man Shout-Out. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| House of Bloo's / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Being that this is still a pilot episode made when the show was still figuring itself out, it contains many major differences from the main series. To wit... Bloo is shown to be slightly mischievous - best seen with him tricking Terrence - and had an occasionally brash and boisterous exterior, but still showed to be a very nice guy who shows a lot of Big Brother Instinct, standing up for Mac when he was bullied by Terrence, showed a lot of compassion and in fact, the other characters constantly describe him as "a lovable imaginary friend". This comes as a shock to anyone used to the rude, egotistical, and borderline sociopathic Bloo in the later episodes. Bloo also showed a level of cleverness from him taking advantage of Terrence's stupidity. Something that would be quite ironic with the more absent-minded Bloo who has a very loose grip on reality at worst. While most of the voices are pretty on par, Mac and Bloo have completely different voices. Mac's voice is far more higher while Bloo's is far more lower, when in the series it's the other way around. This weirdness can be heard best when comparing the movie to the recaps for Parts 1 & 2, which contain the more well-known acting, with Bloo being more higher pitched and Mac being deeper (though still not entirely there) Only a select few characters could understand Coco (Mac and Wilt). In fact, Mac somehow being able to understand her, much to Mr. Herriman's surprise, was a major indication of how intelligent he was for his age. In the show proper, anyone could understand her, even if they had just met her. On the note of Coco, Wilt says she lays eggs when she gets excited, when in the show proper, she does it basically whenever she wants. Mr. Herriman calls Bloo "Master Bloo" in this movie only when in every other instance he calls him by his full first name Blooregard. Duchess was an outright villain, willing to kill Bloo, instead of the simple Royal Brat she is in the main series. Madame Foster was depicted as having a hard time going down the stairs and traversing the hallways due to her age, hence is why she doesn't even physically appear until the end of the movie, with her saying that it took her that whole time to walk down. Which is surprisingly weird for anyone who watched episodes afterwards, she becomes a surprisingly agile Cool Old Lady. Eduardo speaks a lot more Gratuitous Spanish than in the later episodes, to the point where Wilt had to translate both him and Coco when saying good night to Bloo. | |

It's perfect! Our problems are solved!". At the end of the movie, Bloo repeats this, but adds: "It was just a little more of a hassle than we thought." | |

Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Terrence tries to pull this off when his mother comes home to get Mac and Bloo in trouble. While she does come home to the two of them dancing while Terrence is on the ground with a broken vase on his head (meaning she could be forgiven for believing him), it ultimately fails because she knows there's no way Mac and Bloo could overpower Terrence, and she also seems to doubt that they'd throw the first punch anyway. | |

| House of Bloo's / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: Wilt, Eduardo and Coco hold this in the second act when they aren't aware that the others are trying to help save Bloo from getting adopted by Sweetums, so they end up trying to keep Bloo away from each other as well. Bloo lampshades this when he's in danger with Sweetums and the friends are too busy arguing. Bloo himself holds this the third act. When he sees right through Terrence's disguise, he doesn't run or get away from Terrence or trick him, but rather stand there in the open. Leaving him a target for Terrence to easily grab. | |

Small Role, Big Impact: Mac's mother only appears for about one to three minutes at the start of the movie, and isn't seen again afterwards aside from mentions, but she's the driving force for the plot of the movie and the entire series happening. In this movie at least, Madame Foster appears at the tail end of the movie, but she's the solution to Mac and Bloo's dilemma is the one who lets Bloo stay at the house without fear of adoption. | |

First-Episode Twist: Two of 'em! Bloo goes to live in the titular foster home, with the plot surrounding Mac and Bloo's attempt to create the deal that would allow the latter to live there without fear of adoption. Throughout the movie, it's also implied that Madame Foster is dead. However, she makes an appearance around the final minutes of the movie, and goes on to be a main character throughout the series. | |

Scooby-Dooby Doors: Wilt, Eduardo and Coco's attempt to keep Bloo out of Sweetums's hands take them through this midway through their chase, and they start switching who's carrying who (at one point Coco is carrying Eduardo). It ends with Bloo ending up carrying the bratty girl and running off with the others chasing after him. The scene repeats in the episode's credits, where at one point a previously introduced imaginary friend (who looks just like Mojo Jojo) makes an appearance. | |

Bait-and-Switch: In Coco's introduction scene, to Mac and Bloo it seems like she was asking if they wanted coco, with her repeatedly asking Bloo that question, until Wilt reveals all Coco can say is "Coco", and what she was asking - according to Wilt - was "Do you want any juice?" | |

Villainy-Free Villain | |
| House of Bloo's / int_8b4f491c | comment |
Villainy-Free Villain: Mr. Herriman isn't the antagonist (that's Duchess), but when Mac leaves Bloo at Foster's and promises to return, Herriman swiftly crushes Bloo's hopes of seeing his creator again by sternly telling him that he'd be very fat if he had a carrot for the amount of time's he's seen creators failing to deliver on this promise. He also has absolutely no qualms with handing Bloo over to a Spoiled Brat who will clearly abuse him, despite Wilt, Edwardo, Coco, and Frankie's protests. All this because the house rules mandate that imaginary friends be put up for adoption. | |

Posthumous Character | |
| House of Bloo's / int_8b568cb7 | comment |
Posthumous Character: Throughout the pilot, Madame Foster is mentioned and appears in portraits, but she herself doesn't appear for most of the runtime, implying that she passed away some time ago. However, this becomes Subverted when she makes her appearance, even lampshading this when Bloo exclaims his surprise at her being alive. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| House of Bloo's / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Wilt is rather uncomfortable when told he should play basketball. Wonder why... A small bit that hints that Madame Foster is alive is when the friends talk about her. Note that they don't say sentences with "She was [x]" and just "She's [x]", being a small but important foreshadow for her appearing. When Frankie rebuts Mr. Herriman's claim that Bloo will be abandoned by Mac for certain, citing how his creator didn't, as creators often leave their imaginary friends behind, Mr. Herriman visibly pauses as the camera zooms out, showing a painting of Madame Foster. | |

Madame Foster was depicted as having a hard time going down the stairs and traversing the hallways due to her age, hence is why she doesn't even physically appear until the end of the movie, with her saying that it took her that whole time to walk down. Which is surprisingly weird for anyone who watched episodes afterwards, she becomes a surprisingly agile Cool Old Lady. | |
