With Captain Feathersword at the helm, the 21st century's Fab Four rows into Wiggle Bay for a beach party--Australian style. That means "rosey tea," a good old-fashioned "barbie," rolling down sandhills, and--since they are the Wiggles, after all--a heck of a lot of singing and dancing. When the captain forgets to tie up the boat and it floats out to sea, the foursome resorts to their motto "When things go wrong, just sing a song." But it all works out when a friendly dancing (thrashing?) mermaid brings back their vessel. This 39-minute program features 11 songs, a seashell with a message, huge dancing stuffed animals (Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog, and Henry the Octopus, of course...), and Murray, Jeff, Anthony, and Greg in berets making a brief attempt to serenade Wags in French. In short, it's more fun from Down Under for kids ages 2-8. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Find out when you join The Wiggles for lots of music, dancing and fun in the sun at Wiggle Bay!

Babies love it!.......2007-03-25

My little baby, who is less that a year old, LOVES the Wiggles and especially this DVD. Her attention is totally focused on the TV when this movie comes on. Although The Wiggles lack educational value, the video is great fun. There are lots of fun songs that my wife and I sing to my little daughter and we dance and just have a great time watching this video together. Even my 9 year old son, who is defiately "too cool" and too old to watch The Wiggles, sings these songs to his little sister. It's great bonding time for the family with a fun DVD.

Kids love it, a little annoying for me.......2007-01-10

The tunes can stick in your head. Not neccessarily what I want. But they do like watching it.

I really like it.......2006-11-02

We borrowed this from the library and it will go on my daughter's Christmas list. I thought this was a fun show and loved the location. The songs are fun, the guys are funny, and I am looking forward to seeing it again. I can see myself watching this with my almost 2 year old, and not minding it a bit. I didn't miss that there were not kids, but we have other Wiggles DVDs that do have kids. My husband and I were looking for something that is different than what we already have, and we found it.

The "Saving Private Ryan" of Wigglean Cinema.......2006-07-27

The parallels are uncanny. From the action-packed onslaught on a beach that begins the film to the bittersweet return home at the finale, "Wiggle Bay" is a touching homage to Speilberg's masterpiece. From the presence of a tall, dark hero (Greg Wiggle = Tom Hanks) to his motley support crew (Anthony = Tom Sizemore, Murray = Vin Diesel, useless "Wake Up, Jeff!" = useless "I won't carry a gun" writer guy) to the storyline of a small, close-knit team stranded in a foreign land, searching for the elusive treasure (Matt Damon vs. a golden key) that will enable them to return home, through their unexpected encounters with other visitors (mermaids = German soldiers) and the ultimate knowledge of our heroes' helplessness in the face of unseen, distant powerbrokers (King Neptune = Eisenhower)... "Wiggle Bay" serves as a bold and touching reinterpretation of the Best Picture winner through the lens of Australian children's cinema.

(Spielberg didn't include quite as many songs about drinking rosy tea, rolling down the sandhills or swimming like a fish, but I can only presume that oversight will be rectified in a future director's cut of Private Ryan.)

Five stars hardly seems like enough praise. Buy it now, and be touched in a way you've never been touched by Wiggles before.

Best Wiggles Video.......2005-11-02

I think Wiggle Bay is the best Wiggles video thus far. My daughter loves it and it has been a constant in our home for well over a year. She's now almost 3.

It is set outdoors and the beach scenes are a refreshing change from studio work. The songs are also favorites and it's cool to hear different tunes like "Swim Like A Fish" and "Dance The Cachinka".

My daughter wanted to be Magdelana The Mermaid for Halloween this year because she likes this video so much. So, I was happy to make her a costume. This video has also given her a great interest in the ocean which spurs many talks on mermaids, whales, dolphins, other things that live in the ocean and boating.

I love The Wiggles and never tire of them. I am glad Wiggle Bay is a favorite of my daughters because it is my favorite too.

Wiggles Fan.......2007-01-10

My 2 1/2 year old son LOVES the Wiggles. I have had to add more and more Wiggles DVD's to our collection to keep ME from getting bored with the same old one over and over (and over and over!). Both of these are fun to watch and feature some of our favorite songs (no "Little Wiggles" or animated Wiggles which we don't really care for as much). My husband and I are pretty big Wiggles fans too so we don't mind watching the DVD's along with our son - plus it can be good aerobic exercise too! :-)
