Overview

It's time for The Wiggles' Fruit Salad Big Show! The Wiggles are bringing their hit live show to YOU, as you can now see them live in concert from the comfort of your own home. Plus, for the first time ever, there's eight Wiggles performing on stage as Tsehay, Anthony, Lachy and Simon are joined by the Fruit Salad TV Wiggles, Evie, Kelly, John, and Caterina. It's double The Wiggles which, of course, means double the fun! All their Wiggly friends will be there too and will join them to sing and dance along to fan favourite songs such as 'Do the Propeller', 'Hot Potato' and 'Rock-a-Bye Your Bear', as well as new and catchy tunes including 'Hey Tsehay'.

Trivia

• Coincidentally, this video was released in the same month as The OG Wiggles 1997 Big Show in Melbourne was filmed 25 years ago for a TV special on the Disney Channel in Australia.
• Despite the title, 'Fruit Salad' is not performed in this video.
• This is the second Wiggles DVD release to feature the Fruit Salad TV Wiggles, the first being Super Wiggles.
• This is the first video where Tsehay drove the Big Red Car. The car is also given L plates, which means "learner", since she was was the new driver. This mirrors what happened with Sam in Wiggledancing! Live In Concert.
• This is Kelly's final appearance as a yellow Wiggle, as well as her only concert release.
• This is the only North American concert DVD to not feature Murray Wiggle or Jeff Wiggle.
• This is also Evie's last appearance as a blue Wiggle, since she is currently a yellow Wiggle.
• In the end credits, most of Emma's songwriting credits are replaced with Tsehay's name since Emma is no longer a Wiggle.
• This is the first Wiggles concert release:
  • to feature Tsehay, the Fruit Salad TV Wiggles, Bok the Hand Puppet and Shirley Shawn the Unicorn.
  • in five years, the previous concert release being Wiggle Around Australia in 2017.
  • to be released in the 2020's.
  • to feature "Here Come The Wiggles" and "Wags The Dog, He Likes To Tango".
  • to not have any Special Features.
  • to have sound effects since Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas
  • to have graphics since The Wiggly Big Show.
  • to have the Big Red Car onstage throughout the entire show.
  • to be distributed by Kino Lorber.
• The US release date was originally scheduled to be released for December 20, 2022, but was pushed back to January 24, 2023, for unknown reasons.
  • It marks the third time that a Wiggles DVD was delayed in the US, with the first being The Wiggles Go Bananas! and second being Emma! 2: Dance Spectacular!
• This is the only Fruit Salad TV Wiggles video where Paloma the Mermaid is absent.
• There was no Photo Gallery in this video, so it’s likely that after 22 years of DVDs, The Wiggles have stopped putting special features on home media, likely due to the rise of streaming phasing out DVDs from the general public.
  • This is also the final Wiggles video to use the 2019 ABC DVD and 2020 ABC Kids logos.
• This is Lucia's last video as a Wiggly Dancer before she became a blue Wiggle alongside Anthony.
• This video special aired on ABC TV, 2 days after it was released on DVD in North America.
• This is the last video to be distributed by Kino Lorber in North America as well the last video to have a physical DVD release in general.
• This is the last video to be available on Telstra in Australia.

Goofs

• During Simon Says, Anthony played the Maton Acoustic guitar but in some shots, he is not.
• Due to this video being filmed over 2 days, the L plate on the Big Red Car keeps switching places, either to the left-hand-side, or to the front.
