A Las Vegas hot dog restaurant event left children distraught after they were met with a disheartening portrayal of their favorite Disney cartoon character, Bluey, on Wednesday, May 15, 2024.
The event, reminiscent of the problematic Glasgow 'Willy's Chocolate Experience' from February, featured a bearded man in a Bluey onesie instead of the expected authentic character costume. According to Stephanie Hernandez, a mother present at the event, "kids were distraught, some kids were crying."
Sophia, a young attendee, expressed her disappointment by shaking her head and stating she was “mad” at the substandard Bluey representation. Bluey is a popular Disney cartoon show about a blue dog, which has a sizable young fan base.
