Movie Reviews of Racing to the Rainbow
Movie Review: One of their best videos
Summary: 5 Stars
My 2 yr old son loves the Wiggles and so do I! Since mom likes the video too, we watch it together, which is more fun for him b/c we talk about it and dance to it together.
The Wiggles are currently touring with their Racing to the Rainbow songs, so I bought this video to prepare my son for the concert that we'll be going to in a few weeks.
We both love this video, and I think this one, along with Wiggle Time, is among their best. This one seems to have gone through some good editing and really has the extra polish that makes it a great improvement from many of their other videos, namely b/c:
- focus is on the Wiggles; less "clutter" of background people (we like Captain Feathersword, but some of the movies have too much of him, and the less we see of the corny background dancers, the better.)
- storyline/theme is clear, and they don't stray from it
- sound and video effects enhance rather than overdo
- kids are more diversely represented
- no Wiggles puppets or Wiggles cartoons, thank God! (it's the Wiggles themselves that we want to see!!)
- no hyper-colored cartoon backgrounds (as in Wiggly Playtime; those colors gave me a headache. Seems better for young kids to use real backgrounds, and this video uses plenty of real (and beautiful) footage of birds, flowers, scenery of Sydney)
- catchy, snazzier songs (We love just about all the Wiggles' songs, but these songs have more of a dance beat/rhythm. My son loves to dance to these songs, and has many of the lyrics memorized! We got the CD too!)
- less facetime given to Captain's crew (they are still WAY too bubbly, but at least they are given less facetime than in some previous videos)
- Greg has gained some weight and boy, does he look GOOD! I heard this was his last video--that made us both very sad! Greg is my son's favorite Wiggle.
- Jeff and Murray make less overly-wide-eyed expressions, which in previous videos was a little annoying
- we get to see them drive around in their Big Red Car, which my son can't get enough of
- skits are well-written, nothing seemed too corny (so mom could tolerate and actually enjoy watching the movie with her son)
- bloopers at the end are funny; son doesn't care for them, but mom wishes there were more!
- all 4 Wiggles look like they are having a blast!
- limited dialogue (my son can't sit through too much talking; he enjoys the singing and dancing the most)
- simple hand/body movements that go with the songs, that are easy for a young child to imitate (my son loves to copy along with the motions)
- all the great singing and dancing that we love from the Wiggles
Some of my son's favorite scenes:
- when Greg paints a spider
- when Murray comes forward and dances while playing the guitar in the Tra La La song
- when Benny acts like a teapot and his hat falls off
- any scene with the Big Red Car
- the whole Everybody Dance song/dance
Summary of Racing to the Rainbow
All Movie Guide - A big storm has passed and when a colorful rainbow appears in the sky The Wiggles and their friends pile into the Big Red Car and the Big Red Boat in a fun-filled journey to the far side of the spectrum. By land air or sea this team of rainbow-chasers is determined to get an up close look at this awe-inspiring natural phenomenon. Of course there are plenty of friends to be made along the way with Magdalena the Mermaid the Queen of the Rainbow and the King of the Road all ready and willing to join in on the journey. Murray will get a chance to fulfill his fantasy to become a rock star Jeff will have the opportunity to become a conductor and if they hurry the group may even reach the end of the rainbow in time for Anthony to enjoy his dinner. - Jason BuchananSystem Requirements:Run Time: 80 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating: NR UPC: 045986312327 Manufacturer No: H131232Similar DVD Movies
