Summary: My 2 yr old Loved It!
Review: I have a 2 yr old who absolutely loves the wiggles. He has this one and the PlayTime and Safari and all are great. This one has a cute little story but most importantly, lots of great tunes! He loves to sing along and knows all the moves. There is lots of time with Captain Feathersword, Wags and Dorothy too. Fabulous movie that I don't mind watching with him over and over. He gets some wonderful exercise and has a blast! We know all the songs and really enjoy them. If you've been taping the shows and think it's the same, it isn't. The movie offers so much more. Really is worth the purchase. Safari is fun too - with lots of new songs that are really fun. Plus teaches about animals. We love the Wiggles in our house. This movie is worth the price!

Summary: Magical Adventure
Review: My son is 22 months old, he just LOVES this DVD! If I would let him he would watch it all the time. He literally could watch it over and over again! It really holds his attention and he really loves all the songs and characters. He gets up and dances to the songs and when there isn't a song playing he sits very quietly and watches every move the Wiggles make.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Must Have for Wiggles Fans Only
Review: If you're a Wiggles fan, or at least your child is, then this one is recommended, because you already know all the characters, and it carries you a little deeper. For instance, you see where the characters live, and the houses are quite imaginative, especially "Wiggle House".
This movie was done in the early days when the choreography was done by Leanne Halloran. As a result, the dancing is 100% better than in the recent "Wiggles" productions. The pirate dancing numbers are actually very good.
I wouldn't recommend this as a first Wiggle experience however, because you need to know a bit of background first to fully appreciate the movie. If it's your first look at the Wiggles - don't do it! Warm up with Yummy Yummy, Wiggly Wiggly World, or Dance Party, THEN get this one.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Easily the least of the Wiggles video series-boring
Review: My two year old loves the Wiggles, and this seemed from the description to be a good pick. It wasn't. Here's the story...Thinking that no one has remembered her birthday, Dororthy the Dinosaur says "what the heck" and takes off on adventures with an annoying actor who plays a failed magician. Meanwhile, the Wiggles are secretly preparing a surprise party for her. The whole thin "misunderstanding" plot is wrapped up at the happy ending, though.

Not only does the video pad out a thirty minute storyline into an excrutiating seventy+ minutes, it does so with no good songs for the kids! Worse, the Wiggles themselves have been shoved into a "preparing the party and looking for Dorothy" subplot! Needless to say, my daughter was looking to play puzzles after twenty minutes of this boring feature.

Bottom line, the Wiggles are much better when they are the stars of the show. They are also better in "sketch-type" video compliations, where parents can shut them off without interrupting any "plot" to play with their children, instead of having the TV babysit them for an hour and a half. Truly, you can't go wrong with any of the earlier Wiggles videos, which have better songs to boot. If you want a more recent pick, go for Wiggles Safari. The guest star here, Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, is actually very ingratiating and interesting and doesn't hog up all the screen time. Unlike the irritating Wally the Magician here.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I use the word "emotional" a lot. It means everything to me
Review: Greg Wiggle said he realized, when filming 'The Wiggles Magical Adventure', a magic-themed film, that he hated magic films. He shows his contempt most by consistently emphasising human truth over generic convention, but finally allowing generic convention to win brutally through. For the Wiggles, genre is incompatible with humanity and its messiness.

Like many of my favorite films (and it is my favorite), "Magical Adventure" is a reworking of 'Vertigo', the story of a man who lets a dinosaur disappear because of his own emotional cowardice, leaving him in emotional shellshock. Paul Paddick's performance - and this isn't sufficiently realised - is one of the towering achievements of cinema, a complete, physical embodiment of diffidence, guilt, solitude and emotional paralysis, a man more lethal in his dithering passivity than murderous pirates are in their violence.

Like all the best art, 'Magical Adventure' is a tragicomedy, moving bewilderingly between the two moods, creating a devastating emotional texture - the hilarious scene where Anthony debates the best way to surprise Dorothy only to tragically realize she's gone, or the frightening abduction scene that sees magician and dinosaur captive argue comically over a wand.

As the title suggests, magic is this film's soul, the only thing that can transcend genre for Wally, the only way an emotionally dead man can feel.

The Wiggles' restlessly inventive mise-en-scene, switching between studied artifice and breathless open air filming, is full of Hitchcock, Godard, Ophuls, Ray, Renoir - all the best of cinema; but in truth, there is no other film like this.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: pretty good!
Review: My son loves this video and The Wiggles....I think it's a cute little story filled with good messages and manners that I feel are important in my child's upbringing....Although he does love this show, sometimes he gets a little bored because it's so long....He really enjoys their other tapes like Yummy Yummy and Toot Toot....but this a really good one to have....and I think older kids would be more likely to sit through it a little longer than my two year old....

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: If you like the other Wiggles videos, dont' buy this one
Review: My 2 year old son is a huge Wiggles fan, of both the show and all the other videos. This is unlike any of the other videos. If you have an older child who is a fan, they might like it, but for a 2 year old, it was just too deep/ (I never thought I would use that phrase for the Wiggles)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: For wholesome entertainment, you can't beat the Wiggles.
Review: I have 3 children six and under and they all love this DVD! With the Wiggles, a parent need not worry about the usual, obligatory potty humor, etc., in their DVDs. This is simply good wholesome fun!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not so good!
Review: I didn't like this movie at all. I thought it was boring and hard to follow. I have a 1 and 4 year old who both love the wiggles. Granted my 1 year old doesn't usually sit through a whole video, but he wasn't interested in this one at all. My 4 year old also lost interest quickly. We have several other Wiggles tapes( Yummy Yummy, Wiggle Time, Toot Toot) and they are much better and my kids love them.I also thought this movie was new, But it's not, It's from 1997. It looked old to me. Pick another wiggles tape instead.
