Low Budget Yet High Spirited Fun

"The Amazon.com review accurately conveys the zest that The Wiggles and their elvish dancers bring to 19 musical numbers. The precise dancing by the pint-sized kids surrounding the band is particularly impressive. Our two young daughters try to sing and dance like the kids on screen. Six of the songs are traditional carols, and the rest are 'new' songs that all have catchy melodies. The Wiggles appear before seemingly flimsy cardboard sets, and the production is not slick; nevertheless, the colorful sets lend a simple charm to the effort, much like a school Christmas pageant. The pacing is good -- several slow songs (like 'Away in the Manger' and 'Silent Night') set up the impact of fast numbers that follow. The Bethlehem manger scene is depicted and one of the Wiggles discusses the holiday's meaning with children. While one or two other Wiggles videos might be this show's equal, none has surpassed the festive fun and moments of heartfelt warmth that 'Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas' offers."
Great Holiday DVD!

"My 4-year-old asked to watch this DVD repeatedly before Christmas, and she's still intrigued by it! Children enacting a nativity scene is her favorite segment. Mine is a young Latino with a beautiful falsetto voice singing "Noche de Paz" ("Silent Night") as his papa and brother beam with pride. The oddest number features "Greg" from the Brady Bunch -- how'd he get in there? Another sweet, fun offering from Australia's greatest ambassadors."
Original Wiggles DVD's

"I purchased 3 Wiggles DVD's for my granddaughters for Christmas, glad I did. Wiggly Christmas, Wiggle Dancing and Hot Potato have kept my little ones happy and thoroughly entertained. For some reason Disney has changed its schedule and the Wiggles weren't on for a couple days now the show has been cut to 25 mins and it is on later in the morning. The girls loved to wake up to Wiggles at 7:00a.m. and get their day started. Now they can watch the original programs to start the day.
