Hoop-Dee-Doo & Yummy Yummy are the best!, June 10, 2003
This review is from: The Wiggles - Hoop-Dee-Doo! It's a Wiggly Party (DVD)
My 21 month old loves the Wiggles!!! Out of the 4 Wiggles DVD's we have, the songs on Hoop-Dee-Doo aren't as catchy as the songs in Yummy Yummy. Yummy Yummy is a better DVD for the little little one's- less skits, more singing & dancing. As my son got older, (he's 21 months now) he favored Hoop-Dee-Doo. Hoop-dee-doo has much better effects and is more modern. More children are involved in this video and after the second or third time watching, you'll find yourself singing along. While Yummy Yummy used to be his favorite from 15-20 months old, Hoop-Dee-Doo is now his favorite. I'd recommend both titles. He couldn't sit still through the Wiggles Magical Adventure Movie... I'd recommend that one for older viewers. Dance Party is cute but definately outdated. After he got used to watching the other titles, he got very bored w/ Dance Party.

Our favourite Wiggles Video, February 22, 2002
This is the latest video from The Wiggles - maybe I'm biased being from Australia but these guys are great. My girls love them (1 and 2.5 years)and dance and sing along to their favourite songs. Each song has simple dance moves so that your toddler can easily copy Jeff(Purple Wiggle), Murray (Red Wiggle), Greg (Yellow Wiggle) and Anthony (Blue Wiggle). Captain Feathersword (the friendly Pirate), Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog and Henry the Octopus all feature in this video as well. What I like about The Wiggles is that the guys really enjoy what they do, they have a great time singing and dancing for the kids and the kids love it. You can really tell they love what they do. This video has lots of kids dancing and getting involved in the songs as well as one song which is all animation which is pretty cute - "Caveland".

Higher budget, lower entertainment value, October 21, 2002
This review is from: The Wiggles - Hoop-Dee-Doo! It's a Wiggly Party (DVD)
My 16 month-old loves the Wiggles, and after a few skeptical viewings on Playhouse Disney, so do I. We have Wiggle Time and Wiggly, Wiggly World. My daughter is just getting to the age when she tries to mimic the dance moves and hand motions she sees. So it is somewhat disappointing to see less of the fun and easy choreography that marked the Wiggles earlier works. There is nothing for her to try and imitate, so she loses interest more quickly. It seems that most of the choreography is somewhat random, as there are many children of different ages and abilities throughout the video. The songs are lots of fun, however, and quite catchy (maybe moreso for me than for my kid!). The graphic backgrounds don't bother me as much as some other reviewers, although they do get repetitive after a while. And while I love Capt. Feathersword, he tends to get rather shrill sometimes. I think he's quite talented, but his voice can get an octave or two too high. Overall, I love the Wiggles' commitment to entertaining children. They always look like they tremendously enjoy what they're doing. And it is fun to try and pick out Greg and Murray's kids and Anthony's neice and nephew. But this video doesn't have quite the loopy joi de vivre that most of the others have. This may be better for older kids, but I don't think it will hold a toddlers interest as much.
