Pretty Good, But Not The Best Wiggles Video
We have all the Wiggles videos and each one is a little different, but this one (the latest available in the U.S.) is maybe too different for our taste. There's more talking, less dancing and singing. Also, the "weird" songs are even weirder on this video. However, I don't think you can ever go wrong with the Wiggles, so I would still recommend this video. If you are just getting into Wiggles, the best videos are Wiggle Time, Toot Toot and Yummy Yummy. Wake Up Jeff and Dance Party are older, but still very good. I'm sure with time, this video will grow on us too.
Not as Wiggly as some but still Wiggly Fun!
My daughters (1 and 2.5 years old) are Wiggles addicts - we have Wiggles videos, cds, toys, books etc. They love all the Wiggles videos they have but probably this one is played the least. I think because the songs are a bit more mellow than some of the other ones when they can jump and dance around. I find this is a good video to calm them down before bed, where something like "Hoop De Doo, It's a Wiggly Party" - is full of fast paced songs which are perfect for a energetic dance around the lounge room or to play at a birthday party.
The video is great and features some well known Australia and New Zealand singers with songs that made them famous. It's an interesting collabaration with the Wiggles twist given to songs that have been around since I was a child.
The Wiggles really enjoy what they do - I highly recommend any of their videos, cds and if you get the change to see them live - you won't be sorry!
Different for the Wiggles, better each time I watch it.
This is a little different style for the Wiggles. They enlist the help of several Austrailian and New Zealand song writers and performers for several of their songs. They manage to make all the songs lively and catchy with the exception of poor Tim Finn who really missed the boat on children's music revisiting his 80's hit Six Months is A Leaky Boat with a slow tempo and phrases like "the tyranny of distance", but he tried. I still get his song stuck in my head and our beloved boys brought out some of the best choreography for that song to liven it up. I probably didn't make any friends with that opinion, but it just is not a children's song!
I wasn't sure about the video at first, but the choreography in all the songs is very good and it really gets better each time I watch it. My 19 month old really likes it. Not as good as 'Toot Toot' but mutch better than 'Wiggly Gremlins'. Which kinda stinks. No offense.
