The Wiggles - Yummy Yummy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"Santa" brought the Wiggles "Wiggle Time" video to our house and my two daughters (ages 2 1/2 and 5 years of age) LOVED it, as did all of their friends. I particularly liked that the girls were up dancing and actually getting some exercise during the entire video, unlike most videos where kids are inclined to just sit and watch. For that reason I immediately ordered the "Yummmy Yummy" video.
The girls do love this one but my primary reason for ordering it . . . the "stand-up, dance and move" rather than "sit and stare" factor . . . isn't nearly as good in this one. There is much more down-time (as in 'sit down') on this one.
Still, THEY do enjoy it. If I were choosing between this or Wiggle Time as a parent, I'd recommend that you choose "Wiggle Time" in a heart beat for your kids, for gifts, etc.
Also, I do agree that the puppets are kind of creepy and, while they don't bother my children, they don't really keep their attention either.
They definitely love the upbeat tunes contained on this video though, every one of them.

The Wiggles - Whoo Hoo Wiggly Gremlins Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Now that we've grown accustomed to having The Wiggles at home on a daily basis, we really look forward to each new DVD, to give the others a well deserved break. Sometimes they hit, sometimes they miss, but they are never-the-less always welcome.
This one is a hit, especially with my three year old, who has watched it repeatedly since it arrived. It is indeed a vast improvement over Cold Spaghetti which was overcooked, overdone and not appetizing.
The concept is funny, with two mischievous gremlins wrecking havoc on The Wiggles and friends. The gremlins may be a bit annoying to adults, but are definitely a hit with kids, the intended audience. Captain Feathersword has a lot more quality screen time in this one, and Anthony isn't as hammy. Greg, however, should never be required to do any dance steps that involve moving his hips, which have absolutely no ball bearings.
The choreography again is not the best, but is improving. Those ever-present red marching band uniforms are back again, but this time they more or less fit in to the theme. Even The Wiggles donned them this time, so somebody obviously likes them.
The songs are the best they have done for a while, with quite a few sing-worthy tunes. The songs are:
Camera One
Gulp Gulp
Testing One, Two, Three
Bit By Bit (We're Building A Set)
Vegetable Soup
Hats
Music With Murray
Lights, Camera, Action, Wiggles!
Dressing Up
Where's Jeff?
Anthony's Workshop
Overall, one of the better Wiggles productions.

Some wiggly gremlins are playing funny tricks on The Wiggles and their friends! Captain Feathersword is left in charge of the TV studio with Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog and Henry the Octopus. Things don't work out as planned, but it's a lot of fun building a set, dressing up and singing and dancing with The Wiggles and their friends! Approx. Run Time: 53 minutes

The Wiggles - Wiggles Space Dancing (An Animated Adventure) (2003) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My daughters love The Wiggles, so we were ecstatic to see a brand-new movie. From an adult point of view, the story was very uneven, and the whole section with the tiny folk from Planet Teeny Weeny was unnecessary - there was no great song, just the boys doing a quick irish jig. Did my kids care? Nope! They loved this movie - if they could type they would have given it 5 stars. Instead, I (picky adult that I am) gave it four because, hey we adults watch it too! (At work recently, the song "Dance your gloomies away" would NOT leave my head)
My kids loved the songs. The "Eagle Rock" song was great, and my 2 1/2 yr old can now follow most of the dance moves.
Bottom line: Story is weak, not too many songs, but who cares? Kids will love it!

The Wiggles - Wiggledancing (Live in the USA) (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Since my family and I are going to see The Wiggles for the first time in 2 days,I was excited to see this video.All I can say is WOW!!!!It's going to be a spectacular show!The Wiggles and their dancers are engaging and energetic, particularly Anthony,who to me, steals the show(although I'm not convinced he really did those back flips!).The songs are all familiar here,but the energy and enthusiasm more then makes up for that.The Wiggles find fun ways to connect with their audience, such as suggesting dance moves, and,in the song We Love Athens,getting the crowd to yell "OPAH!!" every time the Captain holds up a sign.This concert takes place in Connecticut, in the good old USA ,and they look like they're having a great time.I reccommend this dvd to anyone over the age of 3 who wants to hear lots of great music and singing ,and be thoroughly entertained.Also of special interest,are the extras at the end of the DVD.Dorothy the dinosaur takes us on a special look back at all the highlights(and a few amusing hairdos!)of The Wiggles' amazing 15 year career, from their college days(when they actually played and sang on the sidewalk!)to the present.It is really neat to see.The bonus episode of Lights!Camera!Action! is cute too.Buy this video,and you and your children will NOT be disappointed.We love it!!

The Wiggles - Hoop-Dee-Doo It's a Wiggly Party (2002) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 21 month old loves the Wiggles!!! Out of the 4 Wiggles DVD's we have, the songs on Hoop-Dee-Doo aren't as catchy as the songs in Yummy Yummy. Yummy Yummy is a better DVD for the little little one's- less skits, more singing & dancing. As my son got older, (he's 21 months now) he favored Hoop-Dee-Doo. Hoop-dee-doo has much better effects and is more modern. More children are involved in this video and after the second or third time watching, you'll find yourself singing along. While Yummy Yummy used to be his favorite from 15-20 months old, Hoop-Dee-Doo is now his favorite. I'd recommend both titles. He couldn't sit still through the Wiggles Magical Adventure Movie... I'd recommend that one for older viewers. Dance Party is cute but definately outdated. After he got used to watching the other titles, he got very bored w/ Dance Party.

The Wiggles - Getting Strong (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought Getting Strong for my 2 year old son who is a huge Wiggles Fan. We have all of the DVDs that are out. I was afraid that Getting Strong was going to tank with him because this is the first DVD with Sam as the yellow Wiggle. To my surprise it is a big hit. Not only with my 2 year old but with my 4 year old. Finally a DVD that they both agree on.
Getting Strong is not like any other Wiggle DVD. Each Wiggle has an equal part in the singing and dancing. You actually hear Jeff sing!!!! It is colorful and has very catchy songs. This DVD also is very educational. The Wiggles teach colors, letters, shapes and letter sounds. The seem to have focused on education then song this go around. Not to say the songs are not cute as always.
For those who attended Wiggle World at Six Flags, these are the songs that were playing on all of the rides.
Very cute! Way to go!

The Wiggles: Here Comes the Big Red Car (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Yes, this is for the most part a remake of the decade old Wiggles Dance Party. Some people will contend that this is a good thing because that video shows the children's group early on without the advantages of a big budget for fancy sets and costumes. However, that video has a few things going for it that this stale and plodding remake doesn't: Charm, Wit and Enthusiam. There's just no Wiggly magic in this DVD.
As with the last few Wiggles DVD releases (Cold Spagetti Western and Sailing Around The World) this project just feels slapped together to make a quick buck. A remake of old tunes where the aging Wiggles quickly sleepwalk and lipsynch through some of their older tunes in a halfhearted effort to milk a cashcow. Yes, now the Wiggles can drive down a crowded Austrailian freeway in their fancy Big Red Car golf cart on the back of a flatbed truck but how cool is that when nothing feels inspired about the effort? The extensive touring these guys have been doing around the world of the last few years have made then wealthy and may prohibit them from having the time of turning out a good collection of new tunes/a descent DVD as you can tell the kiddie fab four are overworked these days and just aren't enjoying the gig like they used too. It's the kids entertainment and parents wallet that suffers as a result.
Missed is the peppy interaction of the 4 wiggles with one another in their wiggly world, the campy wiggly settings are gone, the young kids who interacted and danced with the wiggles have been majorly scaled back, officer beeples is MIA, the waggettes and AWOL, and the overall charm the group used to be shrouded with is dissapating. Now we get the feeling that the wiggles are more interested in touring, putting in quick appearences in their features, and turning more of the entertainment duties to the bumbling raspy singing tone deaf Captian Feathersword.
Now My kids love the good Captain when he's a secondary player that compliments the Wiggles. They quickly lose interest when he's the spotlight character though. He gets boring fast when thrust into that role with his way too large, wooden and humorless crew. The dozen or so crew members try their best to but funny but only come off robotic, overly corny and irritating. All of their scenes are poorly written, seem forced, and majorly dumbed down to even pre-schoolers. When the Wiggles were at their best they didn't treat their young audience like they were stupid. If the creative force behind these DVD efforts wants to spin the Captain off into his own series then I wish they'd get along with it; My kids and I want to see the Wiggles featured when we buy a Wiggles DVD. A little Captain Feathersword is an enjoyable thing; when he carries the show it's con job and an annoyance. I'll skip over the whole sequence where the crew keeps saying that the new pointless admiral character "Really is a good bloke!" everytime we watch this DVD in the future (thankfully it won't be often).
The two all new songs are a mixed bag as well. I don't like the captian's raspy sandpaper voice and it's best used is small quanties when propped up by Dorothy's and Greg's beautiful singing. No such luck here... "I Want To Wear The Jacket" is as repetitive as it is abysmal. The remakes of his other classic Feathersword tunes aren't too bad but the dancing sequences are uninspired. The other only other new tune is also a Captian lead song called "Sorry Again". It's got a good morale message and is propped up by some good backup vocals.
Overall "Here Comes The Big Red Car" is another poor tossed together buffet of past Wiggly classics with a huge side helping of overcooked Captain Feathersword. I hope whoever is managing and directing the Wiggles careers gets their act together because they are ruining a once great property with their poor DVD efforts. Almost all of these songs have been done several times on DVD before and pulled off with more enthusiam, panache, and sincerity.

The Wiggles - Wiggly Safari Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I think this video sums up what the Wiggles are all about - singing fun songs for kids and having fun while they are doing it. This video features Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter as well as your Wiggle Favourites - Geoff, Murray, Anthony, Jeff, Captain Feathersword, Wags the Dog and Dorothy the Dinosaur.
The Crocodile Hunter is a scream! If you have ever seen him you know that his enthusiasm for life and animals is infectious. A wonderful choice for the Wiggles to make a video with.
Every song is about Australia wildlife and not only do you get to sing about it, you learn a little about the animal from the Crocodile Hunter and the Wiggles and you also get to see the animal in a very natural setting at Steve and Terri's Irwin's zoo (Australia Zoo, located on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia).
I cannot recommend this video high enough, especially if your toddler is already a fan. They'll learn alot about Australian animals and have fun doing the dance moves to each songs. I have two girls - almost 3 and 18 months and they love this video! They are huge Wiggles fans.
You will not be disappointed.
