A TV promotion with the Disney Channel in Australia would later allow The Wiggles to gain video and music distribution in the USA. The Wiggles performed at Disneyland, California and were filmed for a TV special for Australia, but in the crowd that day were executives from Lyrick Studios in Dallas, Texas. Lyrick Studios had received a video from The Wiggles’ Australian office and they’d all sat down to review it. Sloan Coleman, former executive of Lyrick Studios, recalls, “I’d looked at it and said, ‘Oh my gosh, they’re brilliant. This is fantastic.’ And so Debbie Reis (former Vice President at Lyrick) flew to Disneyland. She recalled, “There was an audience of American children mostly, that had never seen The Wiggles before and they immediately got up and started dancing and interacting with the music. That’s when I knew for sure that we had something that would be really big!” Following the Disneyland appearance, The Wiggles were signed to Lyrick Studios, the home of Barney the Friendly Dinosaur.
