The Wiggles

Right now you can watch The Wiggles in Australia on Netflix and Stan, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Pure Flix — and the writing holds up regardless of the format's reputation. 13 seasons of it means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. 23 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. A harder one to justify skipping than to start. Put it on tonight on Netflix and see for yourself.

The Wiggles arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The Wiggles treats animation as a medium, not a limitation. A show geared for babies up to older toddlers. This show is full of music, teaching kids songs and easy dances. Every line from Anthony Field and Lachlan Gillespie lands with more craft than you'd expect. It ran for 13 seasons (1998–2023), and the writing holds up across every one of them. The Wiggles uses the freedom of animation to tell stories live-action could not attempt. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Animation fans will appreciate the craft, but The Wiggles works for viewers who do not typically seek out animation too. If you have already watched Kenan & Kel, The Wiggles is a natural next step. 13 seasons is a lot, but the quality holds all the way through. Anthony Field's voice work is a big part of what makes it distinctive. If you have been sleeping on it because of the format, the format is not the thing here.

The Wiggles is currently airing new episodes, created by Anthony Field, Greg Page, Jeff Fatt and Murray Cook — so there's no better time to catch up before the story moves forward.
