The Wiggles love interacting with animals, whether they're laughing at a monkey's silly antics, marveling at the sweet slumber of a wombat in their arms, petting a tiger, or imitating the jerky gait of a kangaroo. Jeff, Anthony, Murray, and Sam are joined by international pop superstar Kylie Minogue, Australia's John Waters, and the Wiggles favorites Captain Feathersword, Dorothy the Dinosaur, and Wags the Dog in this fun celebration of animals that's sure to captivate toddlers and preschoolers. Set against bright, animated backgrounds, the Wiggles’ enthusiasm is contagious as they interact with costumed "animals," dance around the stage with the Wiggles Dancers, and sing over 20 songs ranging in genre from country western to blues and rock and roll. Interspersed between songs are brief, real-life encounters between Wiggles members and various animals including a koala, a tiger, a wombat, several types of birds, and a crocodile. Favorite characters Captain Feathersword, Dorothy the Dinosaur, and Wags the Dog also make plenty of appearances, doing everything from riding a toy horse, hanging out with a bunch of chickens, and acting out a story about how a goat once ate everything in sight on a pirate ship. If 47 minutes of Wiggles fun isn't enough, there are two full-length bonus Wiggle and Learn episodes, as well as a 3-minute featurette on "Safety Around Dogs" with RSPCA inspector Matt French, a 7-minute Dorothy the Dinosaur episode about shopping for ingredients for vegetable soup, and a photo gallery.

5.0 out of 5 stars This one is great, July 25, 2009

This review is from: The Wiggles Go Bananas! (DVD)

I am giving 5 stars because it's that good to me. My 3 year old son loves the dvd and I have to say I enjoyed it as well. An added bonus to me was, getting to see all the "real" animals. The wiggles are dressed as animals and that is cute and makes the kids laugh, but it also has lots of live animals. And of course all kids love animals. If you are a wiggles fan or if your little one loves animals you can't go wrong with this one. It's full of toe tapping songs, and lots of wiggle fun. I will have to say I missed seeing Benny in this dvd. I guess he has left the wiggles. Captain feathersword hasn't went anywhere:) He's still a ball of fun for the kids. The captain and Anthony is our favorites. Get the dvd, your kids will love it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but there are better Wiggle DVDs, May 9, 2010

This review is from: Wiggles Go Bananas (featuring Kylie Minogue) (PAL/Region 4) (DVD)

Cute and catchy as usual, but it's all done in a studio with added computer graphics as opposed to studio plus outdoor shots like Big Red Car, etc. There are also very few animals in it and they make very brief cameo appearances--as another reviewer noted, the "animals" are Wiggles and Wiggles dancers in animal costumes. Very cute, but my 2 y/o loves animals and would rather see them. I personally like Wiggle Safari with Steve Irwin much, much better--plenty of live animals and far more more educational information on the animals.

If you're looking for a DVD with animals, go for Wiggles Safari. If you like the show format, try Big Red Car/Boat. If you just want some background music and videos, I would get You Make Me Feel Like Dancing before I got this one.

As negative as I sound, it's still Wiggles and your kids will probably still love it! The music is great and fun to sing and dance to, and the Wiggles deliver their usual high-energy entertaining performance. I highly recommend the soundtrack to this DVD--my whole family enjoys the CD.

This review is from: The Wiggles Go Bananas! (DVD)

This DVD takes a small bit of getting used to since it is entirely about animals but like the other Wiggles DVDs, it becomes addictive. My 3 year old requests it over and over! The use of real animals paired with some real catchy song lyrics are a real hit in my house. I do wish they would pull back from using some of the computer-generated scenery because it is so redundant ...but the kids probably don't care. If you have a Wiggles fan at home, buy this one for sure.
