For the non-Australians out there, the Wiggles are a quartet of male songbirds reminiscent of the Monkees, but aimed at the Barney-watching set. The Down Under foursome sings about mashed bananas and hot potatoes, dances with the energy of fitness instructors, and makes mild attempts at being educational. (Three of the four met while studying early childhood education.) Their stab at multiculturalism results in the Jewish song "Havenu Shalom Alachem." Joining them are a big green dinosaur named Dorothy (seem familiar?), Henry the giant purple octopus, Wags the Dog, and a man in a pirate suit called Captain Feathersword. The songs are catchy, the dancing vigorous, and the outfits colorful approximations of the uniforms worn by the original crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise. A couple of the haircuts look like they might have been acquired on the spaceship as well. The 15-song video runs 33 minutes long and claims to be appropriate for ages 1-8, but will most likely appeal to preschoolers and kindergartners. --Kimberly Heinrichs

There's rarely a warm seat in the house whenever the Wiggles command the screen. This time Greg, Murray, Jeff, and Anthony host 50 minutes of flash and pizzazz in Hoop-Dee-Doo! It's a Wiggly Party. Over a dozen vibrant song and dance routines will inspire 2- to 8-year-olds to "Dance the Ooby Doo," "Move Like an Emu," and embrace the true spirit of "Hoop-Dee-Doo!" As if the delightful energy generated by these melodic gents and their usual cast of extras isn't enough, huge kaleidoscopic backdrops groove along with each song. Then there's Captain Feathersword: often giddy to the point of falsetto, here the good captain's comedic antics nearly cause his pirate buttons to pop. But, hey--it's a party! So fluff that feather sword, shine those dancin' shoes, and prepare to wiggle up an hour's worth of giggles, polkas, wobbles, and hula steps. (Yes, "mums and dads" find Wiggles tunes irresistible, too.) --Liane Thomas

Great movei for toddlers.......2006-11-10

I had never seen or watched the wiggles before until my son showed in interest in singing and dancing. Hoop-Dee-Doo was the first Wiggles movie I bought for my 18 month old son and he loves this wiggles movie! (I too enjoy watching and singing along with him). The songs are catchy and fun with easy to do dances for the kids to follow. My son mimics the dancing and hums the tunes. If I would let him, he would watch this movie all day over and over.

too flashy and not as catchy.......2006-11-02

I wondered what all the fuss about the colors was about, now I know. Yikes! It is enough to give you a headache. The songs are just okay and I didn't see where many of them would stick in my head if I ever purchased this DVD (we borrowed it from the library). My daughter seemed to like it, though. Unfortunately, I watch DVDs with her a lot and I wasn't dying to see this one again, and we have enough other good Wiggles material already that I don't need to buy one I am not excited about.

The Wiggles are wonderful........2006-08-05

My 16 month old daughter, Marina, has loved the Wiggles since she was 2 months old. She is learning so much from them. She can do the dances to Rock-a-Bye-Bear and Point Your Fingers and Do the Twist.(which can be found on Wiggly Adventure). Hoop-Dee-Doo Wiggly Party was her first dvd of them. It is a wonderful movie. Even though they are a show for kids as most parents know these songs will get stuck in your head. lol. Play your Guitar with Murray is diffenately one of them.

Hoop Dee Doo.......2006-08-02

My son and I both enjoyed this movie. The songs were catchy.

Hoop Dee Do is to much To Do for toddler.......2005-11-02

My 2 yr old daughter absolutely loves Wiggle Time so I purchased this DVD thinking she would love it as well. Where are all the nice "simple, catchy songs" like on Wiggle Time? The sets are elaborate, the songs are long. Neither my daughter nor myself enjoy this DVD.

Dance Party
The Wiggles, that wacky outfit wowing kids from Down Under, welcome preschoolers for a lively, loopy musical fiesta on their sixth release, Dance Party. In addition to Murray, Greg, Jeff, and Anthony, Oz's answer to the Fab Four, chiming in on this 15-song charmer of a dance- and sing-along are the usual wiggly suspects--Henry the Octopus, Wags the Dog, Captain Feathersword, and the remarkably light-on-her-feet hostess of the party, Dorothy the Dinosaur. Along with all the fancy footwork, expect the frenetic pace of all Wiggles offerings (nobody's attention span is apt to be challenged by a 15-segment, 40-minute video), but also expect a less polished production than in previous titles. The gang's unfamiliar hair styles and other telltale clues bear the trappings of an early performance. Which in no way dilutes the fun-for-all delirium. In fact, the goofier-than-ever gags and graceful child dance troupes featured on a couple of numbers here propel this tape into top-shelf Wiggles territory. Songs include "Can You Point Your Fingers and Do the Twist?," "Wags the Dog," "Five Little Joeys," "Di Dicki Do Dum," "I'm a Cow," "Do the Flap," "On Your Holiday," "Hat on My Head," "The Magic Bag," "Brown Girl in the Ring," "Georgia's Song," "Our Boat Is Rocking on the Sea," "Nicky Nacky Nocky Noo," "Dorothy's Dance Party," and "The Big Red Car." --Tammy La Gorce

First and Favorite Wiggles Video.......2007-06-07

Yes, the production quality is awful; Anthony's hair looks like he doesn't own a mirror; and in half the scenes Anthony has on a short sleeve shirt/half long sleeved. However, it is still my favorite.

Dance Party was our family's first introduction to the Wiggles in 2003. My son (now 5 1/2) had a HUGE Wiggles obsession right as they first started gaining popularity in the US.

The songs were silly and fun, whereas many of the later ones seem like they ran out of ideas and yet still felt compelled to keep writing songs, no matter how stupid they are. Maybe I only feel this way because these are the Wiggles songs that I knew first, but all of the subsequent Wiggles videos we have (close to 10!) just don't measure up.

Perhaps it is because I watched it a million times before they even HAD a "real" big red car, but there is something appealing about 4 guys and their Cardboard props that is more original and refreshing than the over commercialized, over-done videos that followed.

fun little dvd.......2007-03-19

we bought this because we were going on a 15 hour car ride vacation and I wanted something to keep my 15 mth entertained. he was in love with the wiggles (i didnt know who they were) and he "asked" for them every time we got back in the car. Those men are a tad bit silly but that is why babies love them i suppose. my son dances and "wiggles" right along with them and I am looking to get a few more dvds. I would definitely recommend it for any age

Crunchy Munchy Music.......2006-11-14

Bought this for me and my son, but mostly for me!!! Even though I cannot sing AT ALL, it's still a lot of fun singing karaoke Wiggles!!! This would be great for birthday parties, playgroups, etc!!! Wiggle on!!!

We love it!.......2006-06-01

I bought this for my 1 1/2 year old daughter. She is so addicted to it! It is obvious it is one of the earlier ones they did - much less "production" but we really prefer it that way. There are more children dancing and singing with the Wiggles than paid dancers.....and the songs are really cute and catchy. My daughter is not a TV buff at all but she dances along with the songs - it is adorable. We love this one! Their hair cuts do change throughout the video, but she could care less. We really love this!

The kids won't care that the quality isn't good or that this was obviously made at a time when the Wiggles had no budget. The problem is that there is no DVD menu. If you hit the "skip" button, the DVD does not advance to the next song, but rather to some random spot on the disk in the middle of a song. If your child is yelling to hear a certain song, there's no way to get to it except to FF visually. How much of a problem would it be to rerelease this DVD with the scenes properly indexed?
