Highly Overrated But Still Good

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

I have watched movies for 10 years and yet i have never seen a film that touched the heart more than The Wiggles Movie. In this film there are characters you can relate to like Dorothy the dinosaur, Wags the dog, feathers the pirate who tickles my sense of humour, and the octopus who makes me want to dance. I really feel for Wally, i can see he was born into a world he never knew, poor guy. Anyway, this a magical film that will blow you away that will make you jump out of your seat and will make you fall in love with dinosaurs over and over again, and will make you believe anything is possible with just a little magic and a lot of money!

"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.

If you don't know who the Wiggles are, you may want to start with one of their shorter videos, since this may be a bit much as an introduction. If, however, your kids like the Wiggles, this is for them. It's a longer format show, with more of a plot than their standard video. The songs are the usual 'Richard Simmons for pre-schoolers' fare, but with an underlying theme of caring about others and believing in yourself. There are the old favorites, as well as new song and dance numbers for Wags, Henry, and Captain Feathersword. Lots of wiggly fun!

I wanted to write in because I just read a scathing report on this movie and couldn't disagree more. Both my nine month old and 3 1/2 year old love The Wiggles. Instead of just sitting and watching, The Wiggles involves the children. Their videos are aerobic workouts! It is meant for kids, not adults to be entertained, and it works!
