Summary: not their best work
Review: All you have to say is "Wiggles" and my 20-month-old daughter runs to the TV. She'd watch Magical Adventure every day if we'd let her. So when this DVD showed up at the store, I thought it would be a nice change. The first thing I noticed is the low production values. The camera operators seem to have difficulty keeping up with the action, and the sets and props look like a school play. All of that wouldn't matter if my daughter enjoyed it, but she lost interest in just a few minutes (something that doesn't happen with the other DVDs). Because the actors look much younger, I'm guessing that this was shot long before the 1999 copyright credits would indicate. If the Wiggles had not become such a marketing bonanza, this one would probably still be sitting on some producer's shelf.

Summary: All it lacks is truth in packaging
Review: I bought this DVD at a discount store and read the label very carefully where it said copyright 2003. Well, I get it home and out of the box and find this is a production from 1998. I suppose in some legally hair-splitting way this US version was copyrighted this year, but still I was very upset with the misleading info on the label. That said, my two preschool daughters love this video, and that is what is most important. Especially my 23-month old! They love to dance along and have learned the (approximate) words to almost all the songs. I am mom to two preschoolers, so I know a lot more about the Wiggles than I would ever have wanted to. This show from 5 years ago, like all the other Wiggles product from that period that I have seen, has the production values of a kindergarten Christmas pageant and "choreography" that reminds one more of an aerobics instructor than a dance teacher. The more recent Wiggles productions have improved on these issues SOMEWHAT, with location filming and a quartet of professional dancers. Seeing this amateurish older production now really reminds me of how much improvement they needed. But, maybe I am being too much of a Grinch. The things that the Wiggles are really great at are already present in abundance here. The guys are just so darned earnest and energetic. I just want to bake them cookies and pinch their cheeks for trying so hard to please my babies. And the children in the cast look so relaxed, natural and happy to be there. They are just the cure for the over-the-top kids on so many American kids shows like Barney. In short: Wiggles, you are welcome for shrimp on the barbie at our house anytime, mates. Oh, and Merry Christmas!

Summary: Weird, yet captivating
Review: I had first seen a Wiggles video before I had my daughter and thought they were pretty creepy- yet very energetic. My daughter is now 10 months old and loves this video! She jumps up and down and sways from side to side "dancing". ...the Wiggles are oddly fascinating. I still don't understand why Henry the Octopus is plaid, or why Dorothy the Dinosaur wears a hat and has big sharp-looking teeth, but these guys are awesome (and not just because they have matching belt buckles...lol). I cannot get the "Let's have a dance with Henry" song out of my head! This is an excellent video.

Summary: Wiggles make the Holidays Happy!
Review: I hadn't heard of the Wiggles until I saw them on the Today show on 11/27/00, but when they performed two songs on the show, my one year old stopped what he was doing and was entranced by the music! Yes, one year old! The Wiggles upbeat music and easy dance steps make this a must-have for children everywhere! I knew immediately I must have their works for my kids. They're not condescending to children as some other videos can be (there's no baby talk here), and it's fun for older kids and adults alike to watch together! My one year old sits and watches this with his 8 year old sister and 10 year old brother, and it's hard to tear them away too! I highly recommend this tape!

Summary: Catchy new Christmas music!
Review: If your kids are Wiggles fans then nothing is more exciting than Christmas with the Wiggles! We really like this DVD and even though my son is not a huge Wiggles fan anymore we still watched this alot over the past Christmas. The songs are catchy and the dance routines are, too. We find ourselves dancing and singing along!

Summary: "Yule Be Wiggling" is better, but this one's not bad
Review: Like others here, I pull this tape out now and then even though it's not Christmas, partly for relief from the "normal" Wiggles songs (Even the good ones get a bit old after 1,000 repetitions!), partly because my 22-month-old daughter likes the "baby" songs, and partly because the tape is innocent and fun. "Yule Be Wiggling" is slicker and, I think, a bit better, but this one isn't bad. Younger children would actually prefer it, if my daughter--a Wiggles afficionado if there ever was one--is any indication.

Summary: The Wiggles Celebrate Their Own Christmas!!
Review: Most Australians, including The Wiggles, are Christian just like us, Americans...but some other people that come from Down Under, and the USA, are Jewish. All of those nineteen songs from Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas, were so sweet and cute, I felt Wiggle-crazy more, and more. There was also The Wiggles Concert where "(A Wiggly Christmas Medley)" took place at on stage, and "(Wags is Bouncing Around The Christmas Tree)", but most of all, I think "(Unto Us, This Holy Night)" is such a pretty song. I will always love you, Greg.

Summary: You'll be singing along with the Wiggles!
Review: My 3 year old loves this as much as the other Wiggles videos! She loves the Clap Your Hands For Santa song the best. I find myself singing along with them too! I highly recommend this Christmas video.

Summary: Definately a Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas
Review: My son and I love to watch and dance around to this DVD (and the CD as well). I think that this video is jam-packed with both energetic and soothing Wiggly music like "Unto Us, This Holy Night," "It's a Christmas Party on the Good Ship Feathersword," and the classic "Silent Night." This DVD brings loads of Christmas spirit into my home.
