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!

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 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.

I ordered this DVD in the hopes that my 2 yr. old would watch it like he did previous Wiggles DVDs. Instead he still insists on Sing A Song Of Wiggles (DVD), Pop Goes The Wiggles (DVD), and You Make Me Feel Like Dancing (DVD). These are very good and he would highly recommend them over Go Banannas and I agree.

My 2yr old loves this DVD...but he's always enjoyed The Wiggles. I can take repeated viewings of every other Wiggles DVD we own (as my son will want to watch a DVD several times in a row), but for some reason, this one grates my nerves after only two viewings. Maybe it has to do with there being too many monkeys...who knows. How many times can you stand hearing a crazed monkey going "oh-oh, ah-ah, eek-eek" in Capt Feathersword's crazy voice?

But really, you can't go wrong with the Wiggles.

Wiggle Around the Clock was the first DVD we bought and it is great! Lots of up beat, energetic, catchy tunes. The songs make all of us want to dance and put big smile on all of our faces. We went to buy more, since this is the greatest thing to our little boy, and purchased Wiggle Time and the new, Bananas one. Wiggle time is boring and slow and only the live songs at the end make it watchable. It couldn't even keep my son's attention for a minute where the first one makes him go into a zone and he won't take his eyes off the TV. The new Wiggles go Bananas is computer generated and the songs are worthy of one star. We went through every song on both of the DVDs and agreed that our son will probably never watch either again. Waste of money!

Most of the music on this DVD is uninspired and forgettable; my children absolutley love the Wiggles but walk away from the television shortly after the first song "Monkey Man", which is probably the only song that isn't a throw-away on this whole disc (aside from some of the bonus content, which can be found on other, better DVDs). Come to think of it, the only reason you might want to purchase this DVD is to make it easier to peel your children away from the TV after watching one of the better Wiggles DVDs.

My 2 yr old loves the Wiggles but for some reason does not like this video.
Songs are lame too...

This is the best of the modern (post Greg) Wiggles. The songs are creative and catchy. The kids love all the animals. My daughter gets up to dance to almost the entire video. Well worth the purchase.

I personally find Wiggles Go Bananas to be kind of creepy! They are dressed up as animals in many of the songs and the back rounds are surreal and they have little jazz clips... it's all just a bit odd to me. So, as mom, this is probably my LEAST favorite Wiggles movie. I love the Wiggles, and I'm more partial to Greg, but I'm warming up to Sam. However, my rating isn't about what I think of the movie, it's what the kids think, and they were who it was intended for. This particular movie is a pretty big hit for all of my kids ages 2, 5 and 6. The 5 and 6 year old aren't as into the Wiggles as they were 2-3 years ago, but this movie did catch their attention and they like it.
