GetReadyToWiggle.com Review

'Wiggle Time' begins with a short skit to Wake Up Jess, and then the music quickly begins. The first song prepares the viewer to sing and dance with the upbeat Get Ready To Wiggle as The Wiggles are joined by Dorothy the Dinosaur, Henry the Octopus, Wags the Dog, and Captain Feathersword.

The songs in this video will be very familiar to anyone who watches The Wiggles on Playhouse Disney.

'Wiggle Time' is a very upbeat video, just perfect to get children up and dancing. With a magic skit tucked between two lullabies, The Wiggles even give children time to rest up for more dancing.

With the last several songs taken from The Big Show (a Wiggles live concert), Murray sings lead on one song, Captain Feathersword loses his composure on stage (he was supposed to be sad, but suddenly could not stop laughing, live, on stage), and The Wiggles end with their well-known and well-loved medley of songs.

'Wiggle Time' is highly recommended, a must have for anyone who loves the Wiggles. While only available in VHS, do not let that dissuade you from making this purchase. The video quality and sound are wonderful on this video.

    GetReadyToWiggle.com's Readers Reviews and Comments on Wiggle Time

    Update
    Reviewed by Leanne (getreadytowiggle.com) on 12/21/2004

    Wiggle Time is now available on DVD in the United States. Also,
    now that Alex is 2 years old, he seems to love this video even
    more than before. Tonight he watched it repeatedly, dancing to
    the songs, and really moving around. Alex has now seen enough
    Wiggles that he knows the songs. For example, on the song
    Whenever I Hear This Music, he makes the movements just a touch
    before the Wiggles. It is a joy to watch, and yes, I still
    enjoy this video. While many other songs on Wiggle Time can be
    seen elsewhere, the 5 Little Ducks concert scene is one of my
    favorites, and I have only seen it on Wiggle Time.
