Summary: Not bad, but not great either.
Comment: This DVD would get higher reviews if it didn't have those CREEPY puppets on it. The puppet segments are more like an acid trip.
Other than that- it's cute- but I CAN'T get past the puppets. EEEK!
My daughter (20 months old), however, seems to enjoy it all so I guess that's all that matters.

Summary: Wiggles and zoo animals
Comment: Wiggles and the Australia Zoo - what could be better? if you have a child who loves the Wiggles AND loves animals, this is an interesting change from the Wiggles and Animal Planet shows you may switch between. Not as much dancing and catchy pop as some of the other Wiggles DVDs, but just as nice. All the characters are there, as well as the late Steve Irwin, his family and other people from the zoo.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good choice.
Comment: Fun songs and lots of Wiggle energy. My major complaint is the puppets. There are two songs that are preformed by clay puppets. My daughter is scared of them and cries. We are forced to fast forward through those tracks which is annoying. Otherwise another Wiggle classic.

Summary: The Wiggles
Comment: This is yet another hit DVD in my house. My granddaughters dance and mimic the wiggles. They love this particular wiggles DVD the best. I would highly suggest it also.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Please...make it stop.
Comment: Despite their nearly non-existent educational value, my very bright 2-year old, who normally could care less about what's on television, absolutely adores the Wiggles. Specifically, he loves the song Hot Potato. Sure, he'll sit through a fair amount of the other songs on the Yummy Yummy DVD, but for him it's all about Hot Potato. I wish I knew why.
My son's Wiggles infatuation is entering its third month. If I thought it was doing any harm, I'd put a stop to it, but he's not turning into a couch potato, he rarely watches more than 15 minutes at a time, and he honestly loves these goofy songs. My wife and I, on the other hand, fall asleep with these songs in our heads. They pop into our heads the second we wake up. We hum them in the hallways and in the car. I'm confident he'll outgrow this fascination, but I fear four our sanity in the meantime.
Here are some observations from a Wiggle-weary parent who has seen this DVD more than any sane person should.
1. Would it kill these guys to throw in some songs about the alphabet or counting? If you're going to have such a magnetic pull on toddlers' attention, don't you owe it to them to try and educate them a little?
2. What exactly does Anthony bring to the group? He almost never plays an instrument, and from what I can tell Greg is the only real singer. He doesn't even have a cool disorder like Jeff's narcolepsy to fall back on.
3. Why on Earth do I care about Anthony's talents in the first place? That's a sign that it's too late for me, isn't it?
4. Do you think this is what Murray had in mind when he plugged in his first electric guitar? I bet he wanted to be Angus Young, and now look at him.
5. If Henry was any kind of real octopus, he'd have dragged the Wiggles down to a watery grave by now.
6. If Dorothy were any kind of real dinosaur, she'd have finished off the Wiggles for making her do all the yard work, and then gone after that purple freak Henry.
7. If Captain Feathersword were any kind of real pirate, he'd have made the Wiggles walk the plank...after they cooked him up a batch of crunchy munchy honeycakes. From what I've seen, he's not even pirate enough to qualify for one of those paper hats they give away at Long John Silvers.
8. Wags the Dog...OK, I have no problem with Wags, largely because he doesn't sing.
9. Those Wiggle Puppets are just not right. Seriously, you can't tell me those aren't the result of ingesting massive amounts of illegal substances. Psychedelic backgrounds, techno beats, and creepy-eyed puppets just don't mix.
10. Greg and Anthony could probably, after lots of therapy, be gradually integrated back into society. I'm afraid there's no hope for Jeff and Murray though.
I'm venting, I know. But I can't be the only parent who wishes they had never heard of the Wiggles, can I?

G'day from the Australia Zoo, where the Wiggles get wild with Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin. It's a Wiggly Safari: 55 jaw-snappin', kookaburra-hootin', dolphin-splashin' minutes of grand adventure. A big ham himself, Irwin meshes naturally with the tuneful quartet as they sing, dance, and share factual tidbits about cockatoos, crocodiles, emus, and more. Colors pop off the screen as Dorothy, Captain Feathersword, and little dancers cavort through the zoo. Packed with 16 snappy tunes, this particular Wiggles collection revs up the tempo from earlier titles like Wiggle Time and Toot! Toot! Could this lush outdoor setting, where songs like "Dingo Tango" and "Cocky Want a Cracker" sizzle in the sunshine, be responsible for inspiring this ultra-imaginative play list? Or perhaps Irwin's invigorating presence stimulated the fresh, lively feel of this exceptional show. Regardless, Wiggles fans from ages 1 to 8 will surely delight in this musical tour of the Australia Zoo. --Liane Thomas
