QuestionWhat is the reasoning behind Blue's physical design?ChristopherTop AnswererBlue is designed with her features because she is essentially a dog. Her design incorporates soft, rounded elements like big floppy ears, oversized paws, and expressive eyes to evoke the universal adorableness of puppies. These intentional choices help young viewers connect with her emotionally and visually, and her simplified body language and animations make her readable and comforting as a companion for learning.
