Summary: a departure from a wonderful formula :(
Review: My son loves The Wiggles and we have every video, every cd and maybe every toy that has been produced. But, Wiggle Bay was in my opinion the first FLOP of the series. So far, The Wiggles have had a recipe for success. The songs were catchy and most footage was shot in a studio setting. The Wiggly Safari was my favorite and even though it was not shot in a studio, the formula was intact. The only departure from the winning recipe was The Wiggles Magical Movie, but it was ok. Wiggle Bay is shot with movie type film instead of the live film that has been used up until now (except the Wiggly Movie) I could tell that the change in film made an impression with my son. He really didn't pay that much attention to Wiggle Bay. The footage is very short compared with other videos and their is a story to Wiggle Bay like it was meant to be another Wiggle movie. I was very disppointed with it and really don't recomend it, but if your kids are like mine then no matter how bad they think it is they will want it to keep their Wiggly collection intact. The Bottom line is this: I THINK THAT WIGGLE BAY IS AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE THE WIGGLES TONS OF MONEY WITHOUT THE USUAL OVERHEAD THEY HAVE. THE DVD IS VERY SHORT COMPARED WITH THE OTHERS AND RATHER BORING. I EXPECTED MUST MORE FROM THE WIGGLES AND THEIR DEPARTURE FROM THE WINNING FORMULA HAS DISAPPOINTED THIS MOM AND A SUPER WIGGLY FAN (MY SON, JAKE)

Summary: A Strange New Formula...
Review: My two and a half year-old stopped watching all The Wiggles videos about three months ago, cold turkey. I think it was because he might have outgrown the song-after-song format of the old videos, which I think are perfect for 1-2 year olds. Next came the Magical Adventure that had a storyline but he thought that the Wally character in the movie was "a little too scary for me" and refused to watch it. Two nights ago, we picked up a copy of Wiggle Bay. He was interested in the beach theme. Turned it on, and he loved it and has been watching it non-stop since then.This one is different, a totally new Wiggles. There are no kids dancing in it. Only The Wiggles, Captain Feathersword, Dorothy, Henry, Wags and four Wiggly Dancers along with Magdelena the Mermaid. The storyline is clear. He understands it and holds his attention. The songs, indeed the sound, are *very* different this time. It's not really like kids' music where you have the obvious big catchy melodies. It's more of a droning elevator-music like sound. Parents will recognize their new sound and the dances. It's almost like 60s do-wop, a combination of The Monkees, Austin Powers and the Rocky Horror Picture Show. My nine-year old dreads it because the lyrics are extremely repetitive along with the music. I wasn't surprised to see that John Field and Dom Lindsay are in the songwriting credits for almost all of the songs (maybe all of the songs). I guess The Wiggles are too busy touring and doing business deals now, and have less time to do their real work. Bottom line: The 2 1/2 year old boy likes it.

Summary: The Wiggles - Wiggle Bay DVD
Review: Not as entertaining for my 2 yr old. More of a story line than other dvd's such as Hoop-Dee-Do. Songs not as catchy. Could not hold her attention for the 45 minutes

Summary: My nephew loves Wiggle Bay
Review: Of all the Wiggles videos, my 20 month old nephew just loves Wiggle Bay. He watches it every day, and holds the box in his hand while its playing. I'd say that's a rave review!

Summary: Very fun!
Review: On a lovely wiggly holiday, the Wiggles and their friends found a magic shell, a message in a bottle, and even met Magdelana the Mermaid. The Wiggles, Captain Feathersword, Dorothy, Henry and Wags learn to "Dance a Cachuca" while making friends with Magdelana. "Dance a Cachuca" is one of my favorite songs in Wiggle Bay, because Captain Feathersword got to know and love the Mermaid that way.

Summary: Having Fun Again
Review: Some reviews here are unnecessarily harsh re: Wiggle Bay. I think it's the first time these guys have had fun in a while and it shows. Wiggly Safari and Hoop Dee Doo are way over-produced and the guys just don't look like they're having fun. As such, my son (a huge fan) isn't really into either one. Wiggle Bay is fun, energetic, scenic, and original. It's not cluttered up with 50 kids on every set. It focuses on the Wiggles during the dance numbers which is what my kid wants to see. Granted, it's no Yummy Yummy, Wake Up Jeff, etc. but how many good, original scenes can anyone come up with on the same set year after year? Kudos to the Wiggles for having fun again and for entertaining my kid with fun, energetic material!!!
