For the non-Australians out there, the Wiggles are a quartet of male songbirds reminiscent of the Monkees, but aimed at the Barney-watching set. The Down Under foursome sings about mashed bananas and hot potatoes, dances with the energy of fitness instructors, and makes mild attempts at being educational. (Three of the four met while studying early childhood education.) Their stab at multiculturalism results in the Jewish song "Havenu Shalom Alachem." Joining them are a big green dinosaur named Dorothy (seem familiar?), Henry the giant purple octopus, Wags the Dog, and a man in a pirate suit called Captain Feathersword. The songs are catchy, the dancing vigorous, and the outfits colorful approximations of the uniforms worn by the original crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise. A couple of the haircuts look like they might have been acquired on the spaceship as well. The 15-song video runs 33 minutes long and claims to be appropriate for ages 1-8, but will most likely appeal to preschoolers and kindergartners. --Kimberly Heinrichs
Dance Party
The Wiggles, that wacky outfit wowing kids from Down Under, welcome preschoolers for a lively, loopy musical fiesta on their sixth release, Dance Party. In addition to Murray, Greg, Jeff, and Anthony, Oz's answer to the Fab Four, chiming in on this 15-song charmer of a dance- and sing-along are the usual wiggly suspects--Henry the Octopus, Wags the Dog, Captain Feathersword, and the remarkably light-on-her-feet hostess of the party, Dorothy the Dinosaur. Along with all the fancy footwork, expect the frenetic pace of all Wiggles offerings (nobody's attention span is apt to be challenged by a 15-segment, 40-minute video), but also expect a less polished production than in previous titles. The gang's unfamiliar hair styles and other telltale clues bear the trappings of an early performance. Which in no way dilutes the fun-for-all delirium. In fact, the goofier-than-ever gags and graceful child dance troupes featured on a couple of numbers here propel this tape into top-shelf Wiggles territory. Songs include "Can You Point Your Fingers and Do the Twist?," "Wags the Dog," "Five Little Joeys," "Di Dicki Do Dum," "I'm a Cow," "Do the Flap," "On Your Holiday," "Hat on My Head," "The Magic Bag," "Brown Girl in the Ring," "Georgia's Song," "Our Boat Is Rocking on the Sea," "Nicky Nacky Nocky Noo," "Dorothy's Dance Party," and "The Big Red Car." --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews of The Wiggles 2 Pak (Dance Party/Yummy Yummy)
A Very Dated and Low Budget Video...buy the CD instead After buying the Yummy Yummy DVD (which I highly recommend), this is a disappointment. Compared to their later work, the 1995 release "Dance Party" is second rate in regards to its overall production. The Wiggles were obviously just feeling their way at this point, and needed a good production company to transform them into part of the Disney marketing machine :) If nothing else, it is fascinating to observe the contrast between the Wiggles of yesterday and today. The way Anthony looked back then is pretty wild!
Most importantly, my son is not nearly as engaged in this video as with Yummy Yummy. With that said, most of the music is pretty good and worthy of buying on CD.
Hilarious Early Wiggles
I got this as part of a DVD 2 pack: Hoop Dee Doo and Dance Party. I would agree that the packaging for the DVD is misleading, as it features a picture of the latter day Wiggles, with the mysterious banner "From the Wiggles Classic Collection". The Wiggles are at least 10 years younger than their current incarnations, but everything that made them what they are is already evident: the catchy tunes, great musicality, good choreography, their infectious energy and love of working with children. For that they get a full 5+ stars. The hilarity comes in observing the bare bones production; from Anthony's unkempt hair, hairy chest and undecidedness of the color of his skivvy, the early Captain Feathersword baring his chest (played by Anthony or Paul Field) to the early versions of Wags, Dorothy, Henry, the Big Red Car with the loose steering wheel (notice that Jeff is driving, not Greg!). There is bad lighting, homemade props (check out the light board behind Greg during his magic skit, it is missing lights!). Still entertaining and charming in its fauvism!
The wiggles are great
My little brother got this dvd and i had to sit and watch it because it was really GOOD. i think i love the wiggles as much as my little brother. The songs are funny and entertaining and i know all the words.
