Information on all VHS and DVD releases of "The Wiggles Movie".

Australian releases[]

Trivia[]

The prologue was filmed while shooting the "Toot Toot!" video in 1998 as the Big Red Car can be seen in front of a green screen in the background.
The version of Romp Bomp A Stomp that plays faintly in the background of the prologue is sourced directly from the scene in the movie where the song plays.

2000 VHS[]

For unclear reasons, Fox re-released The Wiggles Movie on VHS in 2000. It has no previews and removes the introduction, despite keeping its mention on the cover.

This was the last release to contain the original version of The Wiggles Movie, before the "Magical Adventure!" version was introduced.

2003 DVD[]

The first DVD release in Australia, released by Fox on November 11, 2003.

The DVD seems to have been prepared by The Wiggles, as it generally matches the style of DVDs they released through ABC at the time. This may be the reason why the "Magical Adventure!" version was used, as Fox would have likely never even had access to the version had The Wiggles given it to them.

Over time, it stopped being printed with the inside cover and was eventually replaced by a version with an updated "G" rating on the front and back cover.

2006 "Child's Play" DVD[]

On July 5, 2006, Fox released a new version of The Wiggles Movie DVD as part of their "Child's Play" series.

On a supposedly more scratch resistant disc, the movie starts as soon as the disc is read and plays over and over until you stop it. Two copyright warning screens are played between each loop of the movie. The DVD menus, which are now static, can be accessed by hitting the Menu button on your remote. The extras, aside from the Song Jukebox, are removed, although the Jukebox now works more like a Scene Selection feature as the movie continues playing from the song onwards.

2003 VHS & DVD[]

HIT Entertainment first released The Wiggles Movie as "Magical Adventure! A Wiggly Movie" in the United States and Canada on February 4, 2003 thus the files were created on December 3, 2002.

Differences between this version and the original include replacing the title card, moving the first scene (of Wally in Cecil's office) to after The Wiggles preparing to perform for Mrs. Bingle's class and some strange cropping throughout the movie, most notable on scenes taking place at Sandlot and Wigglehouse. The HIT Entertainment logo was also added to the end.

The DVD is much more bare bones than the one Australia received later that year. It features no subtitle tracks (although it does contain closed captioning) and has only one menu which houses the movie and storybook, which is its lone extra.

As with most DVDs released by HIT Entertainment, a version with the 20th Century Fox logo and added copyright notice on the disc art was introduced in 2006 (because the movie is from 20th Century Fox). There is no other difference, the cover art and contents of the disc itself remain identical.

Trivia[]

The copyright on the North American VHS and DVD reads 2002 since both the VHS and DVD was released early in 2003 and was prepared for release at the end of the previous year.
- On that note, the American DVD was pressed on December 3, 2002, proving this.

2007 DVD[]

The-wiggles-magical-adventure-a-wiggly-movie

When the rights to The Wiggles' video catalogue were transferred to Warner Home Video in 2007, they re-released Magical Adventure! on October 9 of that year.

The DVD is mostly identical to the previous one. The 20th Century Fox logo is cut out at the beginning (thus it skips straight to the title card) and the HIT Entertainment logo is cut out at the end as well. Warner's own previews replaced HIT's, this time playing before the menu rather than after the movie is selected.
