Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
For their seventh release, the Australian singing troupe demonstrates more of their talents. This collection is a compilation of three episodes from Wiggles Television, a half-hour kids show that airs in Australia. Along with 13 songs (half of which have been on earlier video releases), the Wiggles appear in skits reminiscent of Barney. These segments may pose dubious educational value, but are good, clean, wiggly fun. Typical subjects include Dorothy the Dinosaur pulling a prank on Captain Feathersword, Anthony struggling with magic tricks that Greg performs so easily, and Jeff and Murray finding surprises in the sky. We journey back to when the Wiggles were kids or even farther: see the Wiggles as cavemen! The use of computer graphics and outdoor locations are an improvement over the usual studio look of earlier collections, but those who just want the Wiggles' music will find their patience tried (at 65 minutes, this collection is nearly twice as long as earlier releases with the same numbers of songs). The 2- to 7-year-old fans should enjoy seeing their favorite color-clad singers in a new environment, and the troupe has a winning presence whether singing or not. --Doug Thomas

4 out of 5 stars Great for a 2 Year Old!.......2006-05-31

We have a two year old daughter who ADORES the Wiggles. Although the material on this video is from various TV episodes of their show, I have to say that this DVD is magical. When we can't watch The Wiggles on TV (they're not on or we don't have any episodes left on our DVR), this is a GREAT fallback when Wiggles are requested! It's also proven itself on long car rides- pop it into the DVD player and voila! A happy two year old who requests it over and over again! I think one of the reasons this is such a popular video with kids is because it's just like the TV show. Some folks seem upset that this video is comprised of their TV episodes-- but that's why kids like it. Forget what YOU think-- how does your child react?

4 out of 5 stars Press "play" and go get something done!.......2005-06-18

Hour long toddler flypaper featuring four effeminate Aussies, modern dance routines tacked to folk music, a manic pirate with a feather for a sword, and an odd melange of life size talking dogs, octopi, and dinosaurs who grow roses. In other words, your kid will love it.

1 out of 5 stars Get ready....to vomit..........2004-12-22

...purge this poison from your mind. I've banished Barney from our house and I'm reloading for the Wiggles. This is like candy corn for the mind. They make the Elmo merchandising machine look like a lemonade stand-how can you not be cynical about the array of Wiggles crap out there? Not to mention the ticket prices they charge for their appearances.That Henry the Octopus has driven me to drink. Utter stupidity.

5 out of 5 stars Three Wiggles Episodes From Playhouse Disney........2004-06-28

The Wiggles just love to have fun, every day, inside Playhouse Disney...now, three seperate episodes of The Wiggles are put together to become one big music video movie called, Wiggly Play Time.

As always, Greg's my favorite and I love the way he's the Magician King in The Wiggles World.

The (episode names) are, History, Family, and Play.

3 out of 5 stars SOS - Same Old Songs.......2003-09-05

As stated on the jacket, this tape is made up of episodes of the Wiggles TV Show. You've already heard all the songs, and if you're a Wiggles fan, you already own them all as well.

If you get the Disney Channel, and have time to watch when "The Wiggles" are on, then you probably don't need this one. If however, you're a true Wiggles fan, you'll probably get it anyway for the other content, but don't expect too much.

Greg spends most of his time trying to coax a reluctant rabbit out of a hat, Anthony is either eating as usual, or practicing a magic trick that he can't quite get right, and Jeff and Murray spend a lot of time lying on fake grass on fake stones, looking at fake clouds.

There's a lot of emphasis on family and helping each other, and a strange segment when Dorothy is especially nice to Anthony because she wants to adopt him! An unusual concept to bring up in this type of children's show in my opinion.

There are some good bits when Wags plays a trick on Captain Feathersword, and when the Door scolds them for not looking after Jeff. The skits take place in different places, so you get many scenery changes, including going back in time. The clips from the live show are not the best, with The Wiggles looking either tired or bored, with no backgrounds or props, and no dancing. The audience is obviously enjoying it though.

This video contains some favorite songs and some entertaining filler material. Not an essential buy, but good to borrow or rent.
