Movie Review: The Wiggles-Dance party
Summary: 5 Stars
really is geared to small children, say from 1-3, as I experienced with my
grandson. During that time he loved it and actively took part in the viedo,
they connect with the children.
Movie Review: Lots of fun

Summary: 4 Stars
Wifey and I are the proud parents of twin two year old Wiggles Fans. Of all the shows our boys could have gotten hooked on we are glad that this was the one. Almost all of the Wiggle's songs can be enjoyed by people of any age and dancing along with my boys twice a day with the airings on Playhouse Disney serves as an excellent source of aerobic exercise. We even listen to Wiggly CDs on every car ride over ten minutes and have not yet gotten to the point where we want to see how far the disks will sail like frisbees out a moving car window. (A feeling I'm sure parents stuck with Barney fetishists know well.) We picked up this DVD before dropping the boys off at their Nana's house for a sleep over to make the seperation a bit easier for them. Before we said our good-byes I made sure to start up the disk to serve as a little distraction. Wifey and I actually had to stop and watch the first couple of songs, much to the chagrin of my mother-in-law.
The production values are much, much lower than on any of the later disks. The big red car that my little fellas love so much was a cardboard cut out carried by the fab four on to the stage, Anthony's costume changes several times throughout and includes; a green mock turtle-neck, a green polo shirt and he even took a shot at playing Captain Feathersword. (Two of his brothers also took turns portraying the role that Paul Paddick has now made his and his alone.)
Wifey and I finally left and were still talking about the disk an hour later on our way to dinner and a movie. As near as we can figure, this must have been footage shot as a pilot or maybe even a pitch to a studio prior to the boys getting their own show. Some one must have held on to it and now that The Wiggles have reached a high degree of stardom and recognition, instant cash for the studios.
I'm not complaining, mind you. The boys still bring this DVD over to one of us a couple of times a week to be played and they love the music and dances. Wifey and I even still get a kick out of the hair and shoestring budget sets and effects. Depending on your children though, you may want to think twice before picking up this particular Wiggley release.
My guys are very easy going and understanding about change. I have heard tell of kids out there who throw tantrums or (even worse) get sincerely upset and saddened by unexpected changes to things they love. If yours fall into either of those categories pick up Yummy Yummy or Magical Adventure instead.
Movie Review: Hilarious Early Wiggles
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this as part of a DVD 2 pack: Hoop Dee Doo and Dance Party. I would agree that the packaging for the DVD is misleading, as it features a picture of the latter day Wiggles, with the mysterious banner "From the Wiggles Classic Collection". The Wiggles are at least 10 years younger than their current incarnations, but everything that made them what they are is already evident: the catchy tunes, great musicality, good choreography, their infectious energy and love of working with children. For that they get a full 5+ stars. The hilarity comes in observing the bare bones production; from Anthony's unkempt hair, hairy chest and undecidedness of the color of his skivvy, the early Captain Feathersword baring his chest (played by Anthony or Paul Field) to the early versions of Wags, Dorothy, Henry, the Big Red Car with the loose steering wheel (notice that Jeff is driving, not Greg!). There is bad lighting, homemade props (check out the light board behind Greg during his magic skit, it is missing lights!). Still entertaining and charming in its fauvism!Movie Review: Wiggles kicking it old school!
Summary: 4 Stars
i bought this dvd even after i read the horrible reviews on amazon but after watching it with my 2 young children, i realize it's not all bad. yes the production isn't as high tech as the new releases, but it is nice to see the guys starting out.(i swear Anthony is wearing a greenish shirt. Why did they decide on a blue wiggle and not stick with the green?) Also the two different Captain Feathersword(one being Anthony the other his brother) were no where near as good as Paul(the guy you all know and love as the captain) but it was nice to see how even that character has evolved! Not all that bad dvd and the music still sounds the same!
