Summary: Musical and Entertaining
Review: I had never heard of this group until recently, but my 2-year old son never tires of this video. At least twice a day, he cries "Wiggles" after which viewing this DVD is the only thing to calm him down. The numbers are musical and catchy, and the performers are overall pretty talented. A good change of pace from "Elmo" and "Barney", which my son seems to have lost some interst in. I have not viewed any other Wiggles videos, so I can't compare this to earlier ones.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Get ready to dance, cuz you will be, too!
Review: With the exception of "It's A Wiggly Wiggly World" (which is in its own class, given the original material and guest performers), this is by far the best Wiggles video. It's fast-paced, the songs are catchy as can be, and it's wildly entertaining. If you're not afraid to let your guard down, you'll find yourself dancing along with your kids throughout.

And you'll be winded by the end of "Wiggly Party" and "Hoop Dee Doo," the opening numbers. Thankfully, there are slower numbers strategically placed along the way, such as "Move Like an Emu" and "Marie's Wedding," giving both the big and little folks a chance to catch their breath. But before you know it, you're back to a "Fun on the Farm" a "Wobbly Dance," or a "Wiggle Hula," and the frantic pace is on again.

This tape gets constant play in my house, and neither I nor my daughter seem to tire of it. My hands may get a bit sore from the "clap-clap-clap-clap" during "Hoop Dee Doo," and my arms and legs a bit tired from dragging my daughter around during my sad attempts at the polka, but that's well worth the price of admission.

This is a quality production throughout, even if the computer-animated "Caveland" seems a bit out of place. The kids won't know the difference--they'll love it all. And unless you're anti-Wiggles, you will, too. Let go and have fun.

Summary: AWESOME!!!!
Review: Our 18 month twins love this video (mommy and daddy love it also), very up beat. New songs and dances... I have read other peoples reviews and can't believe that anyone would put this video down, very strange????? Our children enjoy all the colors and all the new songs, I don't know about your children but our little ones get bored with the same thing over and over and this video is full of new songs. And like all toddlers and infants they enjoy all the bright colors and upbeat music. And as usual Captain Feathersword is funny, he definatly adds some extra fun to the video, and yes he is alittle off but in a enjoyable way. I think in this day and age people look for something to be critical or suspicious of in everything and I am probably one of the most protective parents you will meet, and there is nothing wrong with this video, my husband and I cannot even understand why or how anyone would find something wrong with this video. We give this video a big thumbs up!!!! AAA+++

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Highly Entertaining!
Review: My two-year-old loves this DVD. It is very entertaining for her. She wiggles, dances, and has a blast. I highly recommend any of the Wiggles DVD's. We love the Greg, Murray, Anthony, Jeff, Captain Feathersword, Dorothy, Wags, and the whole crew!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dance Fever
Review: When I bought this DVD, my 4 yr old daughter was sick. The only thing that made her smile and move about during that period was Hoop-Dee-Doo. It's fantastic.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disappointed
Review: My daughter and I love the Wiggles and their videos are a part of our day. We have enjoyed Yummy Yummy, Toot Toot, and Wiggle Time. This video has been produced more recently and I am very dissapointed. Their previous videos have been at a slower pace with calm and gentle backgrounds. This video has hypnotic backgrounds and a much faster pace. I'm not sure I can put my finger on all of the changes. The Wiggles themselves have severly short haircuts which looks kinda of military, and not warm and friendly. Dorothy, Wags and Henry all have a different look and none of these do I see as good. The music is more at a disco tempo then one suited for little ears and eyes. It also seems as though the Wiggles themselves are trying to be more animated and trying too hard. My daughter pays no attention to this video although she loves her other Wiggles videos. I can only assume that some Madison Avenue type got to these guys and they surrendered the precious innocence and gentleness they once had.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This is too mental
Review: My son and I love the wiggles. He squeals with delight whenever the show comes on TV. We recently viewed this video at a friends house and we all just sat there wondering what we were watching. Even my 14 month old son just sat there with a blank look on his face. It just didn't seem to have any of the farmiliar bits. I agree that there is way too much Captain Feathersword, who seems to be slightly.....off. This video is nothing like the show, and even the animals seem different. None of the songs are recognizable. No old favorites like Hot Potato, Big Red Car, or others that we had hoped for. If you're looking for something to entertain a smaller child, stick with their Playhouse Disney episodes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My 18 month old loves this!!!
Review: My daughter loves this video more than any of the other Wiggles tapes she has. She dances around in front of the video and tries to sing. My husband and I also like this one - the songs keep your attention.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not among their best
Review: We own six(!) Wiggles videos, and this is probably our least favorite. Well, I suppose I should clarify: the two-year-old in our house enjoys all of them, but her parents faces fill with dread whenever she selects this one.

Our biggest complaint: too much Captain Feathersword. We liked him in the previous videos, really we did! But this time there are FAR too many scenes of Captain making faces, Captain singing in a high-pitched voice, Captain falling down, and Captain just generally hamming it up. Yes, he's attempting to be funny, but he quickly becomes quite irritating. The long intro scene to the "Captain's Magic Buttons" song is particularly tiresome.

Beyond that, the overall video just seems rather dull compared to the others.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My girls LOVE the Wiggles!
Review: Both my girls adore this video! My 2 1/2 year old, who is a tough customer, sits through the whole thing - not a small feat, it's nearly an hour long. My 4 1/2 year old also loves it; she dances and sings all the songs. The hand gestures that go along with the songs are easy to pick up, and the songs are catchy, yet just silly enough to intrigue both of them. We're definitely buying a second Wiggles video.
I find the Wiggles a refreshing change from cartoons, even though it's a bit surreal viewed through grown-up eyes...
