Help yourself to another delicious serving of The Wiggles, this time with zesty international flavor. From Down Under romps the creative Aussie quartet, Greg, Murray, Anthony, and Jeff, to host an energetic song and dance revue. They showcase music from around the globe in Wiggly, Wiggly World, a performance of 16 musical numbers ranging from nonsensical knee-slappers ("Six Months in a Leaky Boat") to melodic ballads ("Starry Night"). Sharing the spotlight is a menagerie of colorful characters, including Dorothy the Dinosaur and Henry the Octopus, that twist and tap in well-choreographed dances like "Blow Me Down" and "Pirate Dancing." Notable singers lend their talents, such as Australian country music legend Slim Dusty, yet nothing beats watching the fab foursome enjoy sheer zaniness to elicit giggles and wiggles from young viewers. If adults find it corny, kids will find it captivating, precisely the reason for the show's broad appeal. (Ages 1 to 5). --Lynn Gibson

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good, But Not The Best Wiggles Video, February 2, 2002

By	"mom2joel" (Kansas City, MO United States) - See all my reviews

We have all the Wiggles videos and each one is a little different, but this one (the latest available in the U.S.) is maybe too different for our taste. There's more talking, less dancing and singing. Also, the "weird" songs are even weirder on this video. However, I don't think you can ever go wrong with the Wiggles, so I would still recommend this video. If you are just getting into Wiggles, the best videos are Wiggle Time, Toot Toot and Yummy Yummy. Wake Up Jeff and Dance Party are older, but still very good. I'm sure with time, this video will grow on us too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as Wiggly as some but still Wiggly Fun!, March 30, 2002

By	Deanna Hockey (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews

My daughters (1 and 2.5 years old) are Wiggles addicts - we have Wiggles videos, cds, toys, books etc. They love all the Wiggles videos they have but probably this one is played the least. I think because the songs are a bit more mellow than some of the other ones when they can jump and dance around. I find this is a good video to calm them down before bed, where something like "Hoop De Doo, It's a Wiggly Party" - is full of fast paced songs which are perfect for a energetic dance around the lounge room or to play at a birthday party.
The video is great and features some well known Australia and New Zealand singers with songs that made them famous. It's an interesting collabaration with the Wiggles twist given to songs that have been around since I was a child.
The Wiggles really enjoy what they do - I highly recommend any of their videos, cds and if you get the change to see them live - you won't be sorry!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wiggles teaching harmony in the world, November 30, 2002

By	M. Leboeuf "mareson228" (F.R., MA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a very unique Wiggles video. It is quite different from the others released previous but it is still a great video. As the title hints, "Wiggly, Wiggly World" this video contains many "different" songs, songs from around the world. Graphics and imagery on this video is more high tech than those videos preceeding it. Most of the songs are not as jump up & down, wiggle your hips, move around songs as we're used to in the videos Toot Toot, Wiggle Time, Yummy, Yummy and the rest but they're just as great. They're beautiful, harmonic and very well sung. Special guests are throughout this video assisting the great pre-school educators/singers/Wiggles inform and perform these wonderful songs. I would recommend this video to anyone, Wiggle fan or not. But I would warn the Disney Playhouse watching Wiggle fan that this video teaches of world harmony and not what has been shown on Disney to date. It's well worth the money but not what you'd expect.
