The Wiggles' Celebration! DVD features the original Wiggles: Anthony, Greg, Jeff and Murray in their last Celebration concert tour together which honored the last 21 years they spent entertaining and educating young children around the globe. At the end of 2012 Murray Cook, Jeff Fatt and Greg Page retired to take on behind the scenes roles in content development and songwriting. The three new Wiggles: Simon Pryce, Lachlan Gillespie, and the first ever female Wiggle, Emma Watkins, will join Blue Wiggle Anthony Field as they don the band’s signature Red, Purple and Yellow jerseys.

"The last 21 years have been a wonderful adventure and I'm going to miss performing on stage with my dear friends Greg, Jeff and Murray," said co-founder and Blue Wiggle Anthony Field. "We've had the best time celebrating the last two decades with our fans all over the world, and I'm looking forward to starting this next chapter with Emma, Lachy and Simon."

Own a piece of Wiggles history captured on DVD this New Year.

My thoughts: This DVD is filled with favorite songs, dancing, acrobatics and fun. It is definitely great for getting your little one's wiggles out. My girls enjoyed bopping, twirling, tumbling, jumping, swaying, etc. to the music and seeing their favorite characters on stage. I love that The Wiggles help get rid of the couch potato syndrome. They make exercise fun.  I thought Anthony's splits were impressive and we liked the part where Captain Feathersword got up on the PVC pipe cube to do some acrobatics while balancing up there. My youngest daughter Zari loved it when Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog, and Henry the Octopus came on stage. When they exited stage she kept asking when they would be back again. She hadn't seen The Wiggles before and she loved them. My 4 year old daughter was the more active of the two while we watched the show. They both seemed like they were enjoying themselves a lot. We will miss the original Wiggles that have left the cast, but welcome the new ones for the New Year. I'm glad we have this DVD as a reminder of the original cast.
