Amazon.com

Australia's hottest children's band presents another full-length video that's bursting with great music, amusing antics, and a fanciful story. Two mischievous "Wiggly Gremlins" have singled out the Wiggles and their own "Network Wiggles" television studio for some serious mischief in Whoo Hoo! Wiggly Gremlins. When the big red car breaks down on the way to the studio, Jeff, Murray, Greg, and Anthony have to get out and push. Meanwhile, Captain Feathersword finds leading the preparations for broadcast at the television studio unduly difficult--and most perplexing. After a truly wacky day, the Gremlins are discovered and the Wiggles' world returns to "normal." Ten catchy songs like "Dressing Up" and "Lights, Camera, Action" punctuate the events of the day, and there are lots of fun antics, colorful sets, crazy costumes, and even a glimpse into some of the magical tricks of television. This presentation offers a nice blend of story and song and is sure to captivate children ages 1 to 7. --Tami Horiuchi

The Gremlins grow on you :-).......2007-01-17

Wiggly Gremlins was the 5th Wiggles DVD that we acquired and at first I was very disappointed. It seemd to me that the performance lacked heart; the Wiggles were running out of ideas. However, I should have consulted with my 23-month-old daughter before passing judgement: this DVD immediately became her favorite! It took me quite by surprise, as we had just purchased Wiggly Wiggly World the day before (ruling out the novelty factor), which I think is extrememly well produced. After having watched the Gremlins with my daughter for the umpteenth time, I have to say that I have grown to like it quite a bit: the songs are catchy, the plot is cute and sufficiently simple for a toddler to follow, and the performance of the Wiggles is good. I suppose the only thing that still bothers me is that Captain Feathersword blamed Wags for a decision he made himself. I hope my daughter won't catch it or our dog may become the designated scapegoat in our house :-)

Some great songs and decent extras.......2006-08-22

This is a very good selection of songs that are brought together by a little story concerning gremlins, who attempt to prevent the Wiggles from getting to the studio to put on their show. My son is twenty-eight months old now and has really enjoyed this DVD over the past eight months or so. Okay, I admit it! I like singing along with the songs as well. Absent a few notable exceptions, these are some of the best songs they have recorded. I cannot think of very many other children's acts that are genuinely entertaining for both parents and children; Sesame Street is one, albeit to a lesser degree than the Wiggles. The DVD also features an episode of "Network Wiggles" and a couple extra music videos, including "Go To Sleep, Jeff" (sung to Brahms' Lullaby). Playing this has worked like a charm to put my son to bed after he had spent the better part of an hour dancing to "Woo Hoo! Wiggly Gremlins!" I picked it up for $7.50, so I consider it a fantastic deal.

No Wiggles magic.......2005-12-22

We love the Wiggles at our house, but do not love this one. I have never been a fan of their Network Wiggles phase and this is that to the extreme. My toddler never got into the video.

The Wiggles - Wiggly Gremlins.......2005-05-12

This is a great DVD. Just because they made a TV series from this DVD doesn't mean it's a bad Wiggles collection of songs. In fact, this is one of my 3 childrens' favorite Wiggles DVDs and the fact that it inspired an entire season of their show on Disney Channel should tell people that the quality of the music. Some of the best tunes on the project includes the ever infectous:

Lights, Camera, Action!
Hats
Testing 1 2 3
Music Murray
Where's Jeff
Bit By Bit
Anthony's Workshop
Gulp Gulp
Vegetable Soup

I read a lot of adults moaning and griping about this DVD, but the kids still love it despite the whiney big people's grumping; that's where the true success of this project should be measured... in the hearts of the children.

Great Wiggles, especially for older tots.......2005-02-02

If you're looking to expand the age limit for your Wiggles fan, this one is a definite keeper. Filled with songs from their Disney show, "Lights, Camera, Action!", this DVD has the added addition of the gremlins running around causing havoc on the show. I didn't find them annoying at all, but just rather cute. It's fun for older toddlers to pick out the gremlins, where they are, and what they're doing besides just sitting there and absorbing whatever is going on. I think the Wiggles are trying to reach an older audience as well, which this DVD does quite effectively. I don't think it was meant for the younger set, ages below 4, because it does involve more interaction than just music, and the kids are asked quite frequently by the Wiggles where the gremins are and what they're doing. They're first asked what is going on and if the kids actually see something. It's an on-screen game of hide-n-seek for the viewer which makes it much more interactive than regular videos.

Captain Feathersword is back and takes over a good portion of the video in the beginning while we are all waiting for the Wiggles to come in. He's up to his usual antics, but they are magnified because of a gremlin causing problems with everything he tries to do. He's pretty funny but very engaging which makes the kids watch and try to figure out what he's doing.

When the Wiggles finally do arrive, they sing many of the songs on their regular TV show, which are very good, in our opinion. In "Gulp, Gulp. Drink Some Water," the cinematography needs improving - Anthony's left side of his head is cut off in many places and when they're singing another song, the Wiggles' eyes are not on the camera but they are looking up at something. It just makes you think the camera was supposed to be upward or something. Plus, Greg's vocals were not plugged in at the final production properly on some songs, which makes his mouth move at the wrong time in some places. Not much to worry about unless you're in the music biz like we are, but it is there nonetheless.

One highlight of this video is that the Wiggles are doing more dancing as in their previous years. Greg's adaptability as a musician comes out here as you see him cover up the others' mistakes at times in his dancing. Ever seen the video of "We're Dancing with Wags the Dog?" He covers up a huge mistake Anthony and Wags made in that one. I'm not sure why another reviewer didn't think Greg can dance - he is the best of all of them and covers up so many other mistakes all the time. When you know music, however, you see those things more than just if you watch it briefly. There's just more ability there than what we get to see on a normal basis with the Wiggles.

All-in-all, I really recommend this one. It's just a different format and more engaging for the older ones. As musicians, these guys are really something and I wonder what they would be doing if they weren't doing this. We sincerely appreciate them in our house - my little one is glued to the TV when this one comes on. It's a great find and a neat keepsake too. We plan on keeping all of our Wiggles items. They've made such a huge difference in our little one's life education-wise.

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! :-)
