I also saw them with the kids in concert -3 times. I enjoyed it as much as the kids’

I'm not sure I agree with this. How is it easy? Because it sounds easier than Brahms?

Who are the Wiggles? I honestly have no idea who you are talking about.

A music group from Australia that targeted the preschool set. Catchy tunes (some with motion). I'm sure if you search YT, you'll find some videos.

Ah yes, those fellows dressed in colourful outfits. Ok. Yeah, never watched them.

Thank you for turning me on to the documentary. I loved it. Of course, it made me realize that I spent way too much money on merchandise. At various toys appeared in the documentary, I kept saying "we bought that" over and over. I am pretty sure that we had all of the DVDs as well.

DS watched so much Wiggles that i was convinced that when he started talking, he would have an Australian accent. And then, just as he was starting to outgrow them, DD joined our family with a speech delay. We were advised to not let her watch animated shows but rather live action to help her with her speech.

But, overall, I was probably the biggest Wiggle fan in the family. Greg was my favorite by far.

My son loved the wiggles when he was little. We went to two concerts in Philadelphia, had the big red car, Henry the Octopus and the wiggles shirts!

The Wiggles somehow never were a thing with our girls when they were small, not quite sure how that ship managed to sail right by our house. I remember seeing the commercials for their tours and never really quite grasped that they were anymore than guys dressed in bright, primary colors singing some kids' songs. Watched the documentary last night when I couldn't sleep and was surprised at their depth of training in early childhood development and education, the fact they actually wrote their music and had some genuine musical chops, and that they had gone on so long with a wide variety of personnel changes. Honestly would have nudged my daughters in their direction had I been more aware.

One thing that really stood out for me in the doc was that among all the performance footage shown the audience appeared to be almost entirely adults, with a surprising lack of children, like almost nonexistent. Their audiences did look entertained and it was heartwarming to see so many developmentally disabled participating and enjoying -- and getting personal attention from band members.
