It's a Wiggly Wiggly World!

**It's a Wiggly Wiggly World!** was the ninth video by The Wiggles. It was released on the 25th July 2000 in Australia for VHS, then on the 22nd January 2002 in USA, and in 26th April 2005 for DVD.

The video started production in 1999 (except for the Wiggles World intro which was made in Late 1998).

The Wiggles and their Friends Dorothy the Dinosaur, Henry the Octopus, Captain Feathersword, Wags the Dog were in this video with special guests as well such as Slim Dusty and Rolf Harris.
