Summary: Negative Educational Value
Review: I had heard from a friend of mine that his child just loves the Wiggles. So when I heard they were coming out with a DVD I was enthusiastic to buy it.After watching just 10 minutes of it I realized that this was not the kind of programming I wanted my child to watch. Now I heard from people that they think Barney was bad. They say he's dorky or goofy but the Wiggles take it to a whole other level. (Personally I think Barney is educational for children and not as goofy as others think he is.) The Wiggles "Hoop-Dee-Doo" DVD is one of the most ridiculous videos I have ever seen. It has some absurdly [silly] characters throughout the show. These characters have absolutely no educational value for your child. It will only teach your child to act stupid. Do you want your child to jump around in public making stupid sounds and stupid faces? I certainly don't. I don't know about you but I don't want my friends to think that my child is [silly]. Do not buy this video. There are much better videos available.

Summary: Hoopty Doopty Doo!
Review: My 1 & 1/2 year old goes crazy over this video. This video only looses his attention during the magic skits, but they don't last very long. The only bad part is trying to keep up with his dancing!

Summary: Love the Wiggles, but this one is WAY too glitsy & intense.
Review: We LOVE the Wiggles, but this video is WAY too intense and glitsy for the younger fans. We only let our 12-month old daughter watch a couple of videos, and always with us: a few of the KidSongs (e.g. Old McDonald's Farm) Videos and the Wiggles. We LOVE the WIGGLE TIME video so were stunned when we saw this, our 2nd Wiggles video. Part of the enjoyment is the purity and "campy-ness" of the first video. We very much wish the Wiggles had NOT gotten a budget! This video has FAR LESS DANCING by the Wiggles and their friends. The between-songs segments are confusing, DISTRACTING, way TOO INTENSE and GLITSY in COMPUTER-GRAPHICS, and are not thematically relevant. They really detract from the video. As parents, it hurt OUR eyes to see the brights, waving lines and zooming graphics in bright colors. Very, very, very unfortunate. Just like rap music (which I actually like ok and own several CDs of various artists of) has been found to distrupt normal wave patterns in infants and toddlers, I cannot help but think (as a clinical psychologist), that the intensity, speed, and bold, in-your-face colors in the graphics on this video are similarly disruptive. Yes, we think it is THAT INTENSE; it made us turn away from the t.v. Please buy and thoroughly enjoy the older Wiggles videos; they are wonderful. The graphics on this one, however, are far too much like the way-too-fast-paced video games of school-aged children. This is not good for the under 5 years old crowd, at the very least.

Summary: Pretty fine
Review: My 2 yr old loves this DVD (beginning/ending ads & all) & for 3-4 months made it part of his 2-3 times watching PER day (he's on a break now) though he's back to ask for his "Wikoff" DVD again. Personally I would say this is a GREAT exercise DVD for slightly older kids. My son tries to imitate some of the actions & gets a kick out of it. Music is very catchy & *rather* well-written. There were kids dancing in almost all the segments which was nice - my son loved seeing them. As always the 4 Wiggles & their 3 animal friends & the Pirate were fabulous.....I think the Capt. is absolutely hilarious (antics & all). Overall, music wise this DVD is rather good (my son & I had no problem at all with the Aussie accent)....good for kids to know there are other races out there with different language pronounciations, etc. General content-wise....slightly better for older children...put it on at night, make them dance like crazy & put them to bed exhausted! My goal eventually.....

Summary: Best Wiggles video so far!
Review: My son has been hooked on the Wiggles since he was 13 months old. We have 4 videos and are hoping to get the rest soon! This is the best video so far! My son loves the songs and really enjoys seeing the kids in the video. He also really likes Captain Feathersword and Dorothy the Dinosaur - he even tells them "'nite 'nite" at bedtime. He is not afraid of any of the characters and has no trouble understanding the Wiggles when they speak. I recommend the Wiggles to everyone. They are wonderful!

Summary: Not as good as the others
Review: We have all of the Wiggles videos. My two year old is obsessed with them! This one is the only one that doesn't captivate him. His favorite part is learning the dances and dancing along, and he can't really do that with this one. There is much more random dancing instead of easy-to-follow choreographed movements. Watching any other of the Wiggles videos will get him up and dancing, but when this one is playing he tends to just lay on the floor and watch. I would suggest any of the videos except this one.

Summary: Hoop Dee Doo wonderful video for children
Review: Contrary to other reviews, my family quite enjoys the "Hoop Dee Doo" video. My son is a huge Wiggles fan, and this video has some great songs (Wiggly Party, Hoop Dee Doo, Move like an Emu and La Cucaracha being our favorites). Yes, The Wiggles have evolved and it shows in their videos. More expensive set designs and more special effects. The skits can be a little slow at times, but overall, we continue to enjoy each different video The Wiggles put out.

Summary: A must buy!
Review: This is the first Wiggles video that I have purchased and let me tell you my 2 year old son loves it and wants to watch it all the time! I purchased other music videos in the past, but nothing compares to how much fun my son has with this video... I will surely be buying the other Wiggles series!

Summary: Not as good as their other videos!
Review: My 18 m/o daughter and I are big Wiggles fans. I have some of their CD's and VHS tapes. We love them, but this DVD was a big disappointment. The beauty of their older videos is their simplicity. This video is "higher tech" with distracting backgrounds and cartoons. It's as if someone with some computer background went crazy and tried out every computer gimmick they could think of. Also the choreographer is different, so the Wiggles DON'T DANCE as much or as well. My daughter does watch this video but gets bored more quickly. I strongly recommend the older tapes and remain a Wiggles fan, but don't buy this one.

Summary: Not bad, would be better with out the ads at the start
Review: All in all, my 11mo likes this one. While many reviewers did noted the complex backgrounds and lots of movement, my son really liked it. I didn't find it any more complex that say an Elmo video. My biggest complaint is all the advertisements before the main menu appears. Really unnecessary and very annoying. Expecially when you are trying to get it started in the car and you can't see what it going on. Compared to the BBBH DVD's, you just slip them in and hit play. They could have put the ads at the end (so we could skip them).
