Rating: 5 stars
Summary: We love this video!
Review: Yeah its hokey and poorly produced, but it seems much more genuine than the over-produced disney stuff. When we ask our 2yr. old son if he wants to watch "old wiggles" or "new wiggles" he responds "old wiggles" most of the time. Very fun.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not so hot!
Review: I do agree that the Wiggles may give 100% in this DVD, but the fact that it is so old with terrible props and backgrounds makes it 3 stars or less to me. My daughter received this as a first birthday gift and she won't even look at the t.v. when it's on! She loves all the "newer" Wiggles productions. I just feel that for the money my daughter and I want to see the newer Disney Wiggles vs. the Starter Wiggles. I feel this should be offered at a very discounted price.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Wiggles - one of the early year dvd!
Review: I love seeing how the Wiggles have progressed and this dvd is full of fun and interesting things that the adults will notice, but when watching my 19 month daughter loves it and doesn't seem to notice or care!

Greg wears a sorta orange shirt rather than his yellow shirt. You'll also see other Wiggles singing and you'll quickly see why Greg does the singing now! Captin Feathersword's patch is on the other eye, and everyone but the now loveable Capt. Feathersword who is on Disney Channel and newer dvds. None of the boys have their color lined pants or wiggles belt buckles just to name a few of the things that makes this dvd so special!

My husband was joking that this dvd is was probably their class project! We loved the Wiggles and don't mind singing their catchy tunes!!! We've come along way since listening to 80s rock to now knowing Wiggles !!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: get over it!!!
Review: 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.
