Over the years, we've seen all sorts of packaging in Wiggles videos. Honestly, I think the packaging's gone up and down over the years. The original packaging was plain, but had that key element: a song list. A description is simply not enough. You can't just give 6 songs, and be lazy enough to put ...and more! Part of the reason I respect Australian packaging much more than US packaging, is because it gives a song list! Parents have a right to know what songs are on a video. Pumpkin Face (or Wiggly Halloween in this case) US releases did not have a song list, so when Who Killed Cock Robin? (a song many parents would probably skip) came on, it was a total suprise. Another sorce of laziness (or just manipulative business), is not removing items from the cover. In 1999, Disney conveniently "forgot" to remove "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" from it's UK release of Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas. This is a bad thing to do, especially if a eager kid wants to see specifically that song, and dosen't get it. In 2000, when 20th Century Fox re-released The Wiggles Movie on VHS, they took off the prologue that was on the 1998 VHS. But, they didn't remove the prologue bumper of the video case! I rest my case. However, I do admire the effort put in to create a colorful and attractive DVD cover. This catches many more eyes this way. So what do you think? Do you love Wiggles packaging, or throw it away the moment you get the DVD? Be sure to say so in the comments!
