Biography[]
At the start of the movie, Wally is preparing for a Magic Club show for Best Magician competition, to fulfill his dream of doing famous magic. however, he finds that he is having trouble with his ability to perform magic tricks. but he wants to do it for his great-grandfather Waldo the Magnificent and to beat his rival Ronald the Remarkable who taunts him for being an outcast. Wally figures he needs a new magic wand to win the contest. Wally comes by Mrs. Bingle's School riding on his bike, and oversees Greg Wiggle's magic show. out of jealousy, Wally senses real magic within Greg's Magic Wand and sees an opportunity to win the contest by stealing it. Dorothy the Dinosaur sees him and chases after him as he accidentally loses his magician cape, which a child at the school finds and shows to the Wiggles, identifying the criminal (who they figure may have captured Dorothy).
Eventually, Wally realises Dorothy has stowed away on his tricycle and collides into a park. Dorothy accuses him of stealing Greg's wand, and they both angrily fight each other for the wand, resulting in snapping the wand in two. Dorothy realises that Greg's live magic show cannot continue without the wand, and that they must venture into the Wiggles World to have it fixed (whilst she is also hoping that someone will remember her birthday). Wally agrees, though only wants it fixed so he can win the prize. they both enter the Wiggly World on Wally's bike and ask Wags the Dog and Captain S.S. Feathersword to have it fix, but only manage for the wand to be accidentally smashed. Dorothy also helps the local police constable Officer Beaples catch a Rose Robber and attends a live opera dance academy with Wally. Dorothy eventually realises that no one remembers her birthday and wants to give up, but Wally, having been reformed from his selfish and greedy deeds by Dorothy, tells her that he still remembers her birthday and has become a new friend to her. Wally then has a vision from the spirit of his great-grandfather Waldo, and realises that the did not need a wand to do magic tricks, and goes back to the real world with Dorothy and wins the prize Waldo's Wand at the competition. The judges score him 10-9-9, surprising and impressing Roland.
At the end of the movie, Wally and Dorothy eventually make it back to the school just before it is about to be cancelled, and they surprise her with a live musical birthday party in a circus tent. Wally also decides to give the prize wand to Greg, to continue his magic show. but Greg tells him he has spares and wants Wally to keep it, to remind him of the adventure he has had and the friends he has made.
