Chip Chilla was first announced in 2022 with an animated trailer of the characters which are different before their finalized design.
Chip Chilla was negatively received by journalists, seeing it as an inferior, right-wing imitation of the animated series 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.
