Storyline
| Plot Summary |
The world-famous Australian band known as the "Wiggles" - Greg Wiggle (the yellow-skivvied magic-loving leader), Anthony Wiggle (the blue-skivvied food-obsessed drummer), Murray Wiggle (the red-skivvied music-loving guitarist) and Jeff Wiggle (the purple-skivvied sleepy keyboardist) - now have their first feature-length theatrical movie debut. In this magical musical blockbuster, the Wiggles are planning a surprise concert for the birthday party of their humanoid dinosaur friend Dorothy the Dinosaur. However, the concert is put on hold when a mysterious magician steals an enchanted wand from Greg, and seemingly has taken Dorothy with him too. The Wiggles must now team up with their Wiggly Friends - Captain Feathersword (the friendly pirate with a feather for a sword), Henry the Octopus (a humanoid octopus who leads a band) and Wags the Dog (a humanoid dog) - to venture between the real world and the Wiggles' World in order to get Greg's wand, find Dorothy and save the day. |

| Quotes |
Roland the Remarkable:
Don't tell me *you're* thinking of entering the competition tonight. Wally, the competition is for *real* magicians. You needn't worry. I'll take good care of Waldo's wand after I win. You can come and watch if you like. But, Wally... Wally. [Wally moves in closer] Roland the Remarkable: Take a tip. Don't embarrass yourself by trying to perform tonight. After all, I am Roland the Remarkable and you are... well... you. [Roland enters Cecil's desk and Wally pokes his tongue out while leaving the office. Later, Wally rides on his tricycle on the road while setting off to find a magic wand] See more » |
