Quotes
Roland the Remarkable: Don't tell me *you're* thinking of entering the competition tonight. Wally, the competition is for *real* magicians. You needn't worry. I'll take good care of Waldo's wand after I win. You can come and watch if you like. But, Wally... Wally.
[Wally moves in closer]
Roland the Remarkable: Take a tip. Don't embarrass yourself by trying to perform tonight. After all, I am Roland the Remarkable and you are... well... you.
[Roland enters Cecil's desk and Wally pokes his tongue out while leaving the office. Later, Wally rides on his tricycle on the road while setting off to find a magic wand]

Crazy credits
The opening title has the word "Movie" mixed up and chugging around it like a train, before arranging itself into the title "The Wiggles Movie".

Alternate versions
There are three different versions of the film when it was released to video:
The original Australian 1998 VHS release contains an opening sequence featuring The Wiggles and a montage of previews.
The later AUS 2000 VHS reissue cuts out all of the openings for unknown reasons, although the audio on some of the last ones before the movie are buried in low volume at 1% during the opening logos, while the cover retains the opening sequence's mention as a result.
The US Video/DVD and Aussie DVD releases swap the first two scenes and zoom in some parts to cut out that are unnecessary.

Positive for kids

My kids flat out love the Wiggles. The silly songs and dances get them up and moving, and the goofy characters make them laugh. The skits may seem inane and repetitive to adults, but their style appeals to children. The Wiggles work well together and have an offbeat charm that makes them fun to watch. Three cheers for this Aussie gang!
