From the busyness, its famous pretzels, Times Square jumbotrons, street performances, taxis and even, being known as the place where dreams are made true. This film is the perfect tour guide to New York. There are sensational cameos such as B.D. Wong, who helps Rainbow Puppy cast for her musical. The camera angles and the music are special features and contribute to keeping the storyline interesting and flowing, especially for younger viewers. Fun Fact: Joshua Dela Cruz\u2019s real-life story is very similar to his character Josh\u2019s in this film, in that he moved from Dubai to America to fulfill his dreams of being on Broadway the way Josh travels from Storybook World to New York to be on Broadway.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/bluesbigcity.b.webp?resize=225%2C126&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10070\" width=\"225\" height=\"126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/bluesbigcity.b.webp?resize=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/bluesbigcity.b.webp?resize=768%2C431&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/bluesbigcity.b.webp?w=910&amp;ssl=1 910w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Of course, keeping with the Blue\u2019s Clues\u2019 theme of teaching life\u2019s lessons,&nbsp;<em>Blue\u2019s Clues Big City Adventures<\/em>, is packed with different messages. The biggest takeaway is how you should never give up on your dreams, otherwise, how will you know if you can make them a reality? Josh faces different obstacles while trying to pursue his \u201cbig break,\u201d including being nervous and losing his handy-dandy notebook, but he stays focus on his goal and ready to show what he can do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I give&nbsp;<em>Blue\u2019s Big City Adventures<\/em>&nbsp;5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 18, plus adults who will love it too.
