Movie Reviews of Racing to the Rainbow
Movie Review: A winner, with new songs to boot!
Summary: 5 Stars
All new songs with a few children's classics - what's not to like? Our daughter is 22 months old and absolutely loves the Wiggles and their music. Right now her favourite songs from this dvd are "Bump-A-Deedle" and "Blow Up Your Balloon (Huff and Huff and Puff)", from which she also does the dance moves.
The best part of the special features are the Wiggly Bloopers. Great outtakes!
As it was mentioned in a previous review, this was Greg's last recorded performance as a Wiggle. He's especially energetic in "Shakin' Like a Leafy Tree" & "Everybody Dance" - you cannot tell he's ill at all. It's bittersweet to watch, but definitely well worth the investment (we'll miss you, Greg!).
*Edited to add (4/19) - Contrary to what one reviewer has stated, The Wiggles are not Barney-esque AT ALL. Ugh, even just the thought of it...*shudder*
Movie Review: Great DVD--We love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
We received this DVD as a gift for my daughter's 2nd birthday. This is the only Wiggles that she has been exposed to and we are choosy about what she watches. This is a great video and we all enjoy it. My daughter loves to get up and dance with them for almost every song! Especially when they do ballet to "Music Box Dancer". (they do a great job by the way) I am pleased that she interacts with this video and it excites her enough to get up and dance. We actually all get up and dance! I hate to see kids mesmerized by TV and just sitting there like a zombie.
I cannot stand Barney, this Wiggles DVD is not near as cheesy or corny or annoying as Barney. Somehow, they don't come off that way which seems weird for middle aged men doing a children's show.
Movie Review: The Wiggles At Their Best!
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't say enough good thing about this DVD! It is loaded with new music,all of it catchy and beautifully done.The video tells the story of the Wiggles following their individual dreams on their way to the end of the rainbow,with sometimes hilarious results!Songs are interjected throughout,most notable to me are Bump-a Deedle and Shakin' Like A Leafy Tree.Engaging dance moves for children and grown-ups alike, and smooth as silk vocals from Greg Page.The New England Patriots even join Anthony in his dream of playing American football. There are lots of entertaining bloopers in the special features to keep you laughing till the end.My 4 and 7 year old's love this dvd,and so does their Mom!!Two thumbs way up! We'll really miss you Greg!Movie Review: A strong finale for Greg Wiggle
Summary: 5 Stars
I chose five stars for one reason: because this DVD mesmerizes my 18-month-old daughter. The Wiggles have been favorites of hers for a few months now, but her attention sometimes wanders after several songs. With "Racing to the Rainbow," she can sit through the better part of what is in the end quite a long presentation without losing interest. From an adult point of view, I found the narrative thread in this one a little more engaging and coherent than in some of the other discs that try to tell a story (e.g., "Toot Toot").
The costumes are also notable in this one -- especially the velvet suits, which bring to mind the 1960s and another (much more famous) quarter.
Movie Review: They're back and doing great!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Wiggles really put a lot of effort and thought into their newest DVD. It is ALOT of the Wiggles (no animation, not overloaded in Wiggly dancers), all brand new songs, lots of cute skits and outfits. Anthony's kids are in it and his oldest girl makes appearances as the little Music Box Dancer. The songs are well written and catchy too, makes a great CD. My kids looove this DVD. This is Greg's last Wiggles DVD, well worth the money!
