The Wiggles - Wiggle Time [VHS]
The Wiggles are Australia's hottest children's entertainment and  it's easy to see why. This 40-minute video is packed with 16 fun songs  that make children want to dance and, yes, wiggle.  Greg Page, the main vocalist,  has a pleasing, folksy voice reminiscent of Canada's Raffi.  Murray Cook  and Anthony Field accompany on guitar, Jeff Fatt accompanies on accordion  and keyboard, and all three dance, wiggle, and teach kids song-specific  movements and lyrics. The songs  themselves have imaginative lyrics and catchy melodies, a fact that hints  at Anthony, Murray, and Greg's backgrounds in early childhood education.  Costarring with this foursome are four lovable, costumed characters:  Dorothy the Dinosaur, Captain Feathersword, Henry the Octopus, and Wags the Dog. The majority of the video features Greg, Murray, Anthony, and Jeff on  uncluttered sets with simple background props that set the mood without  distracting viewers from the musical experience.  The latter portion of the video features several live  performances ("Wags the Dog," "Five Little Ducks," "Wiggly Medley") fromThe Wiggles Big Show. The tour brought the foursome to America in 1999.  This award-winning group from Australia provides a fun,  interactive musical experience for kids ages 1 to 6.--Tami Horiuchi
