Hot Potato: The Story of the Wiggles, now available on Amazon Prime, is a full-length documentary about the band's rise. And while it's as sweet-natured as the band itself, it isn't all featherswords and green dinosaurs. The four original Wiggles recount the band's origin story, their bafflement as their rocketship lifted off, and even some of the more challenging times any group encounters.
The present-day concert scenes in the film demonstrate the band's lasting appeal. Audience members from toddlers to twenty-somethings enthusiastically sing and dance along with the band, unironically and joyfully.
As a Wiggle Dad from the jump, I always enjoyed the band. Took my kids to see them in concert and everything. Hot Potato was a welcome journey back in time for me, and a sweet way to start a week.

Hot Potato is the first song I ever paid money to download, when I had an 18 month old whose friend turned him onto it. We certainly got our $0.99 worth out of that purchase.
I love the Wiggles. We wore out those VHS tapes, DVD’s, and CD’s. Saw them with my girls a couple of times, I think once with Rob and his girls. The looks on their faces when those four Aussie goofballs walked on stage is still something I remember clearly. And really fondly.
Looking forward to viewing this one. Yummy yummy.
i thought we might've taken the kids to a wiggles show together, but the memory, she is foggy. i'll warn you about the doc: i did *not* see murray's heel turn coming.
Rock fight in Buffalo.
They keep showing Ken Dorsey who is channeling his inner ZMan tonight with the glasses.
