Movie Reviews of The Wiggles - Wiggle Time
Movie Review: Wiggling into Deeper Truths
Summary: 5 Stars
After much pleading and prodding by my five-year-old son, I finally gave in and bought him "The Wiggles - Wiggle Time."
At first, I thought, "Oh no, another glibly tuneful romp through cartoonish juvenilia." But how wrong I was!
"The Wiggles" just may represent the only active, truly original modern art form practised by today's desiccated, so-called "artists". When one compares the underlying harmonic and polyphonic structure of a representative tune such as "hot potato dance," one realizes that such complexity and daring have never been heard since Strauss shocked even the jaded Parisians with "Salome"!
This is to take nothing away from the dance, however, which rivals anything ever choreographed by Balanchine. The dancers, eschewing the ambits of classical forms and steps, create their own pleitropic vocabulary of movements which bewilder the viewer with their genetic pregnancy.
Were this all that the "Wiggles" offered, one could easily imagine that their lack of immediate recognition for the geniuses that they are was due to the subtleties of their art and the jealousies of less talented peers. But only after viewing the disk repeatedly and incessantly (I had to purchase a second copy for myself) did I realize the entirety and awful enormity of the "Wiggles" experience. Such was my shock of insensing comprehension that I felt the universe close around me into a point of awareness centered on one sublime, beautiful, yet terrible truth. I struggled mightily to force order into the epiphany which the "Wiggles" graced upon me. But I could not.
Therefore, gentle reader, take heart from my woe. No measure of wisdom or beauty should cost a man his soul.
Summary of The Wiggles - Wiggle Time
Hey everyone! What time is it? It?s WIGGLE TIME! From way "down under" comes the #1 children?s entertainment name in Australia ? The Wiggles! Murray, Jeff, Anthony & Greg are ready to teach your children how to sing "Rock-A Bye Your Bear" and "I Love It When It Rains." Children will laugh at Dorothy, Wags, Henry and Captain Feathersword as they sing and swing in their own groovy music videos. With millions of videos and CDs sold in Australia and the SUA, now is the time to introduce your children to this hilariously happy "down under" world of musical enchantment. Join the worldwide celebration and get ready to Wiggle! Approx. Run Time: 40 minutes (plus bonus features)The Wiggles are Australia's hottest children's entertainment and it's easy to see why. This 40-minute video is packed with 16 fun songs that make children want to dance and, yes, wiggle. Greg Page, the main vocalist, has a pleasing, folksy voice reminiscent of Canada's Raffi. Murray Cook and Anthony Field accompany on guitar, Jeff Fatt accompanies on accordion and keyboard, and all three dance, wiggle, and teach kids song-specific movements and lyrics. The songs themselves have imaginative lyrics and catchy melodies, a fact that hints at Anthony, Murray, and Greg's backgrounds in early childhood education. Costarring with this foursome are four lovable, costumed characters: Dorothy the Dinosaur, Captain Feathersword, Henry the Octopus, and Wags the Dog. The majority of the video features Greg, Murray, Anthony, and Jeff on uncluttered sets with simple background props that set the mood without distracting viewers from the musical experience. The latter portion of the video features several live performances ("Wags the Dog," "Five Little Ducks," "Wiggly Medley") from The Wiggles Big Show. The tour brought the foursome to America in 1999. This award-winning group from Australia provides a fun, interactive musical experience for kids ages 1 to 6. --Tami Horiuchi
