Reception
editChip Chilla was criticized by journalists, seeing it as a blatant, inferior right-wing rip-off of Bluey.[2][3][4][5][6] Janine Israel of The Guardian described the show as "a bit dull, at least for this adult [Israel]", at its worst and remarked on how its portrayal of gender roles is more traditional than Bluey's.[2]
