WHAT’S
IT ABOUT THEN?
You
know for a while there I was
getting a little worried about
the pre-school fab four, their
last series was little more than
a re-hash of what had gone
before and new songs were thin
on the ground, maybe they had
had enough I thought, maybe the
creative well had run dry I
pondered, but I needn't have
worried because they are back,
back, back!

Racing
to the Rainbow is an all new 90
minute almost movie like
adventure in which the quartet
of pre-school pop maestros set
off on a race with their friends
Captain Feathersword, Wags the
Dog, Henry the Octopus and
Dorothy the Dinosaur to find the
end of the Rainbow.
Along
the way the gang meet Magdalena
the decorously dressed mermaid,
the legendary King of the road
(played by the equally legendary
golden voiced Kamahl) and the
Queen of the rainbow (played by
Georgie Parker), there are also
cameo's from Sunrise's Melissa
Doyle and the iconic Smoky
Dawson.

Best
of all though are the 23 brand new songs, standout being "The
Colours of the Rainbow" where all four Wiggles get to sing for once
(mind you there is a very good reason why Greg is the lead singer!) and
all are decked in prime velvet lounge suits, must be their Sgt Pepper
phase.
The
Wiggles are 15 years old this year (not the band members of course,
they're collective age is more like 170) but they are still at the very
top of their game and this is another very entertaining release.
ANY
SPECIAL FEATURES?
Extras
include a fun collection of bloopers,a look at the Kings Cadillac (which
just happens to be an Elvis original), a Wiggly game, a look at how to
kick a Rugby ball and an electronic storybook called The Rainbow Palce.
