The Wiggles Meet The Orchestra! is the forty-ninth Wiggles video special that was released on November 4, 2015 in Australia and in 2016 in the US.

Overview

Trivia

• This video marked:
  • The last video to feature the 2003-2015 designs of The Cartoon Wiggles, as the next video would begin to use the current models. 
  • The last video to feature the 2009-2015 ABC For Kids logo, despite using the 2015-2020 logo on the packaging. Most likely, the DVD was produced prior to the switch, but packaged afterwards. Strangely, the 2009 logo would reappear on all Wiggles videos in 2018, before finally being phased out for good after Wiggle Pop!.
  • The only video that doesn't have music recorded by The Wiggles themselves.
  • The first video to have Paloma Hendry-Hodsdon.
• The two new songs, "When I Hear the Music of the Orchestra" and "Tales of the Symphony Orchestra" are based on "English Country Garden" and "Barcarolle".
• The song "Henry's Dance" is used in the opening titles.
• The prologues for Captain's Magic Buttons and the video itself were the only parts of this video to use cartoon sound effects.
• In the behind the scenes, we see The Wiggles filming Rock & Roll Preschool though no songs from it were performed in the video.
• Even though this video was released in Australia on DVD, a trailer is seen at the beginning of the North American DVD of Rock & Roll Preschool, this possibly means Kaboom/eOne Entertainment were originally going to release it in North America on DVD. But, it was cancelled for unknown reasons.
