"What is wrong with people? A kid show has to still be smart and funny and not patronizing. The Wiggles is anything but that. It stars these four bizarre fellas who live in Pee Wee's summer home with some oddly low-budget puppets and dance a lot. The acting abilities of these four Brits is questionable, since they overdo all of their lines like kids won't be able to understand them otherwise... We also get some really dopey concert scenes where the 'Wiggles' sing a very repetitive song while shaking their tails..."A kids show doesn't have to entertain adults. Patronising? It's a show for children, and they seem to enjoy it immensely. The Wiggles themselves have absolutely no pretensions at all. Oddly low budget sets and puppets? Last year they made $34 million and they always invest most of it back into the franchise. He claims that these "Brits" overdo all there dialogue so the kids can't even understand it. First off they are not Brits. Second, all kid entertainers overdo everything- children don't react well with subtlety. And third, if they overdo it so much the kids can't understand it, then how can they sing along to every last one of their songs in concerts and on TV? Criticising a kids show for being repetitive? You are obviously unaware of the fact that kids need repetition to learn- why do you think all kids shows have such a strict pattern and are repeated so much? Uh huh.And that's the end of that chapter.

Anyone who actually has given The Wiggles a chance knows that they are a brilliant form of children's entertainment. Though some unknowing commenter here referred to them as "brits" they are actually Australian, and I have learned why adults and children alike are wild about them. More than any other show, they do not underestimate the intelligence and learning ability of children, as they use words like "constructing" instead of "building", "improve" instead of "get better" and "interested in" rather than "want". These guys each bring something original and wonderful to the table, as well as being musically talented and gifted.My son and I can't get enough of them, and he actually requests this movie more often than the other Wiggles DVDs we have.The character, Wally is very cute and funny, and The Wiggles give us lots of extra silly for this one. What a delightful movie!

The Wiggles *can* be somewhat annoying after the 300th viewing. For those of you who are wondering what kind of brain damage I must be suffering from to have watched a Wiggles movie 300 times, I should tell you that I have a son who is almost 2 years old who totally loves the Wiggles.We bought this video not knowing that it had been a theatrical release in Australia. We thought it was going to be like a "Greatest Hits" video of their best bits from their Disney channel TV show. Nope. That didn't bother my son, though.Attempting a serious criticism of this movie would be as silly as a food critic doing a culinary critique of Chef Boyardee Spaghetti-O-s. However, I will say that for a "Wiggles movie", the Wiggles don't spend nearly as much time on screen as one would expect. The main character in this film is a magician named Wally, who as far as I know, had not previously been introduced as a character in the Wiggles' world. I question the wisdom of making an unknown character the center of a film that is supposed to be devoted to the Wiggles. That said, it doesn't bother my son. It holds his attention, and when he's watching the Wiggles, he isn't trying to play with the electric socket. For that reason alone, I give this movie a 10 out of 10.

As a salute to both Barry Manilow and the Wiggles, I will start my review with "Oh Wiggles, you came and you gave without taking, I'll never send you away, oh Wiggles!" Okay, with that necessary intro, I'll say that the Wiggles really do rock. I'm 14, and I love a children's band from Australia, I am in no way ashamed, and why should I be? They create good wholesome entertainment for children and adults alike. This movie is absolutely delightful. When this movie originally opened in Australia, in 1997, it was opening against Titanic, that's right, TITANIC. The Wiggles Movie had one-tenth of James Cameron's budget, but it was not swallowed up by the hype of some ship sinking (a tad ironic, eh?), it was the second highest grossing film in Oz (Australia, for those of you who aren't in the know) in 1997. The Wiggles have a way of relating to children and are in NO WAY irritating. They have quite a fan base and should not be judged by ANY skeptical parents, ban Ren and Stimpy from your house, people, leave the Wiggles, after all, all they want to do is please.
