Customer Reviews of The Wiggles - Cold Spaghetti Western

Too many songs spoil the movie - almost.
I honestly did not think Cold Spaghetti Western was so bad, and neither did my daughter. I did think it was watered down by the inclusion of too many song/dance numbers, often occurring back-to-back. If they had been more selective about which songs to include, then the running time would have been shortened to a better length, and the truly good songs would have been able to shine more. <

>I recommend that a Wiggles fan try to borrow this one from the library before deciding to purchase, and that someone new to the Wiggles try one of their older releases first (to get a taste of the classic Wiggles format and wacky humor, and to get properly introduced to the characters). <
> <
>Things that a Wiggles fan will appreciate: <
> <
>Big Fernando and Little Fernando (called Fernandito here) from Hoop-Dee-Do: It's A Wiggly Party make a few appearances to perform a couple of traditional Mexican songs. My daughter is mesmerized by Fernandito. He is the only child who sings solo on any of the Wiggles releases we've seen, and I think that's the big attraction for her. <

>Food Man, Anthony's imaginary alter-ego/superhero friend, returns. (Unfortunately, he's not played by Anthony Field himself, as in the earlier TV episode, but by the guy who plays Captain Feathersword - in a really bad costume. But still worth a few giggles.) <
> <
>The Postcard From Asia extra on the DVD. It shows footage of the Wiggles' recent tour to Japan, China and Hong Kong. Probably more interesting to adults or older children, who are curious to see what Jeff, Murray, Anthony and Greg are like out of character, and what it's like for them to tour. <

>You get to see Greg and Murray riding little donkeys - and with both well over 6 feet tall, their feet almost touch the ground! <

>(As a side note, I didn't think the siesta references were intended to perpetuate a Mexican stereotype, as the reviewer below suggests. They were thrown in because Jeff Wiggle is notorious for always taking a nap, and it's traditional for the Wiggles to create songs and skits about it. See, someone more familiar with the Wiggles would know this!)

Tortuous for Parents Manic Wiggles drive me crazy
This is the first Wiggles video that we got for our 2+ daughter. She likes the video a lot, but I have to say I find it impossible to watch. Based solely on this video alone, it is impossible for me to see what talent these four guys have at all. They are incredible annoying and MANIC (and I have no problem sitting through multiple Barney episodes). I also have a problem with the dumb stereotypes that they perpetuate. A siesta contest in which people compete at sleeping with Mexican characters looking on, and a Wiggle imitating a Chinese Chef with a Fu Man Chu mustache; not cool. I wish I could give it negative stars.

More Bad Than Good Here
A few catchy songs (Master Pasta Maker being my favorite), a few songs that are just blah and a downright silly "plot." The Wiggles love the town picnic and Alfonso's Great Western Cafe, and yet they have to ask for directions to get to town? What's that all about? Captain Feathersword pretty much remains in the background in this one, as do Dorothy, Wags and Henry. When my daughter indicates that she wants to watch this DVD, I put it in and fast forward to some of the better songs. The Wiggly Postcard from Asia is great, though. We all really enjoy that.
