Rating: Summary: Great for children--Easy on adults! Review: The Wiggles are one of the easiest of the shows aimed at small children to endure. The songs and musical numbers on this video are original and cannot be found on the television show. My son loves the wiggles. He always seems to be happy when they are on, and this special holiday version is great to get the little guy in the holiday spirit. The Wiggles are a wonderful group for small children, but I doubt if an older (like 10+) might find them as amusing.
Rating: Summary: Yule Be Creeped Out... Review: I love the Wiggles and my 3-yr-old son ADORES them, but this video gave me the creeps. The songs were either frenetic, 80's new-wave or sleep-inducing and cloying. My son, who usually dances and sings along every single moment of a Wiggles video (and we have 5 of them) watched this one in silence from beginning to end. There was something very off about the whole video - the adult dancers were weird; the songs were nondescript (nothing like the mighty "Fruit Salad"!!); the songs weren't really Christmas-y. There was one bit with Captain Feathersword and his singing teacher that made me laugh out loud, but all in all I'm glad I bought this video used.
Rating: Summary: The best for a while Review: I was afraid to buy this album after having seen "Wiggly Safari", the latest effort from the Wiggles. I'm so glad I went ahead and got this one. It's absolutely wonderful, with songs and dances you enjoy as soon as you hear and see them. My son loves this one.
Rating: Summary: My 3 year old wont stop watching it! Review: What else can I say. All my daughter wants to watch is 'the christmas wiggles'! Although sometimes appearing as 'home-made', it is entertaining.
Rating: Summary: Yule Be Probably Disappointed a Little Review: One invariably must compare "Yule Be Wiggling" with "Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas," and the latter is, to our family at least, clearly a better video, if not the best Wiggles video. While the latest video has many strong songs, the overall progression is uneven and songs often seem strung together randomly. The visual effects, particularly the backdrops and graphics, drench the screen with rainbowy colors that one does not associate with Christmas. (Have The Wiggles entered a Sgt. Pepper phase??) One senses that touring considerations now determine that the same loud color scheme be used as much as possible. Touring might also be the reason that the pre-teen children who danced so superbly in previous Wiggles videos are largely missing in "Yule Be Wiggling." Their disappearance is unfortunate because in the past they enthralled little viewers who in turn tried to dance like them. Instead several young-adult professional dancers now bounce around at a frenetic pace that kids can't follow. While those adult dancers are skilled and well-meaning, their preening for the camera was cloying after a while. Dear Wiggles, your little fans prefer simplicity and familiarity. I thought of giving the video three stars but still give it four because it is better than most children's fare on the market.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic! All new songs! Review: One of the best things about the wiggles is that the songs aren't sickening sweet, like a purple dinosaur we all know. They are all very singable, with a lot of fun thrown in. The songs on this tape are all original. We start with Songs while the kids are waiting for Santa Claus to arrive. Of course Captain feathersword has short wave in his head and can tune to where Santa currently is. Santa arrives and they all dance together. Guest appearances by an Irish Tenor singer (Morgan Crowley) who sings curoo curoo (carol of the Birds) while the children play in a nativity scene. That is the only song with strong religious overtones. There is also a guest appearance by Scottish and Irish Dancing children in their traditional custumes. I have a sneaking suspicion that Morgan also doubles as Santa, but I can't prove it. The whole tape is very upbeat, and dancable. Jimmy the Elf is their first animated song, and its very cute. Captain Feathersword gets completely decorated in tinsel garlands, and also has a singing lesson with Morgan. He does well...only when Morgan is looking at him, that is! A really cute bit. I love the Wiggles, my 2 and 4 year old kids love the wiggles, even my husband loves the wiggles!
Rating: Summary: Love The Wiggles! Review: This is a great Christmas video from The Wiggles. I think this is the best video they've done so far, and my two year old son LOVES it. The video is bright and colorful and filled with great songs and dance routines. My family loves to get up and dance with the Wiggles. You'll love this video. It's good, clean, wholesome Christmas fun for the whole family!
Rating: Summary: A Wiggly Disappointment Review: We own all of the Wiggles videos and have even bought some from their Australian homeland! We love their music and dances! When we saw that this new Christmas video was coming out, I pre-ordered it right away! It was so disappointing! The songs were annoying and the children who have appeared in every video have been replaced! Maybe if it is your first try at the Wiggles, you will be happy with this purchase, but Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas is the much better choice in our eyes! But to be fair, our 2 year old loves it just as he does all of the others!
Rating: Summary: Mama No, me no like it! Review: My 2 yrs old who is absolutely in love with wiggles, did not like this one at all. Some songs are so slow it puts us to sleep. It is just too boring.He would only watch it for maybe one song and turns it off.
Rating: Summary: My kids love this video Review: We bought this video at the beginning of November, and my kids have watched it at least once every day since then. Their favorites are "Jimmy the Elf" and "Doing the Christmas Dance". This video is full of catchy tunes and my 2-year-old son loves to get up and dance to it. If I'm in another room, he comes running to tell me that "Jimmy the Elf" is coming on. This video will get any child (and adults) up and dancing. This is one video that we don't mind watching over and over.
