1.0 out of 5 stars So disappointed!, August 1, 2005

This review is from: The Wiggles: Sailing Around the World (DVD)

I can't help but wonder if The Wiggles are about to pass the baton completely to Capt. Feathersword. The Wiggles barely bother to show up in this DVD, and half the time are only represented by silly cartoons. This DVD comes across as chaotic and just plain bad. What worries me is that we have 5 tickets to see this "Sailing Around the World" show that we'll be driving 2 hours to see in only 6 days. After watching this DVD, I can't help but wonder if it will just be a huge waste of time and $$. My 2 year old is an absolute Wiggles freak, and he only stayed interested for about the first 15 minutes. He loves Capt. Feathersword, but the Capt. just isn't the same in this DVD, he's being expected to practically carry the whole show, and it's obvious he's not comfortable with it. (Was he ever really meant for that?? I thought he was just supposed to be a goofy sidekick.) We should keep in mind that The Wiggles are getting older...although they really only made a splash here in recent years, they've been at this since at least the mid-90's. However, rather than to keep spitting out worthless DVD's like Cold Spaghetti Western and this one, I'd rather they just bow out altogether. For anyone wanting a truly worthwhile Wiggles DVD collection, we recommend Wiggle Time, Wiggly Play Time, and even Dance Party. Stay far, far away from their last several releases.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for young Wigglers, August 2, 2005

This is not a video for younger fans. There is a lot of dialogue and too much time between songs. We're big Wiggles fans here, but this movie isn't suitable for under 3's and parents with short attention spans. You might want to borrow this from a friend or rent it before you buy. Be sure that your child is able to sit through an hour of the Captain and his ramblings before you commit to the purchase.

For anyone going to the live show, don't worry. They play a nice mix of songs, lots of old favorites and a few stand outs from this video. Even if your little one doesn't like this video, they'll still have a blast at the concert.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Wiggles Must Have Fallen Overboard, July 24, 2005

This review is from: The Wiggles: Sailing Around the World (DVD)

They're almost nowhere to be found on this DVD, except for a few odd snippets here and there. Captain Feathersword, usually a witty favorite, seems to be struggling to carry this entire show on his shoulders, as he and the Wiggly Dancers are the main focus of this video. One of the worst things on this video is that Captain Feathersword's crew fall asleep, and are then woken up with 1...2...3...WAKE UP CREW! Hmm...where's Jeff? The songs are not the catchy tunes that we are accustomed to, and one of them isn't even sung by Greg. The whole thing seems to have been thrown together without the Wiggles even knowing about it. Maybe that's why Captain Feathersword looks so jittery! The extras are just as bad. The Wiggly Postcard from Mexico only shows two of the Wiggly Dancers being shown around Mexico city by Fernando, Fernandito and Juan. We are going to see The Wiggles Sailing Around The World Tour in August, but after this we are worried that the Wiggles won't be there at all! Overall, I'd say don't waste your money on this DVD. And it really pains me to say that, being the rabid Wiggles fan that I am.
