The Wiggles Movie (video release, 1998) |
"Yummy Yummy" is a remake of the 1994 video of the same name, released on April 13, 1998. It is arguably one of The Wiggles' most popular videos along with the remake of Wiggle Time, launching the popularity of songs like Hot Potato, Fruit Salad, and The Monkey Dance (which had first been released years beforehand). Some songs were re-recorded for this version, such as the previously mentioned Hot Potato and The Monkey Dance. Songs like Pufferbillies and Havenu Shalom Alechem were not in the original version but added to this video. No songs from the original video were removed, except for Dorothy's Birthday Party which was part of the bonus segment at the end.

Trivia[]
- This is the second remake video, along with Wiggle Time, which was released the same day.
- Pufferbillies and Havenu Shalom Alechem make their video debuts.
- The audio track is in made up of mono mixes panned slightly to the left or right on all versions.
- The prologues from the original for D.O.R.O.T.H.Y. (My Favourite Dinosaur), Teddy Bear Hug and I Am A Dancer aren't used anymore. The same also applies for the epilogues for Crunchy Munchy Honey Cakes, Shaky Shaky, and Henry's Dance.
- In the US and UK versions, Teddy Bear Hug and Numbers Rhumba are replaced with puppet music videos of Wigglemix and Go Captain Feathersword, Ahoy!. Teddy Bear Hug is a Raffi song, while Numbers Rhumba was written by David Walden, and the necessary rights for these songs to appear in the video likely couldn't be obtained. However, Numbers Rhumba did appear on the North American release of the album.
- Songs from this video can be seen in The Wiggles (TV Series 1) and The Wiggles (TV Series 2).
- The song title banner was used for some songs from Wiggle Time! in TV Series 1.
- Shaky Shaky is the only song where the title card is during the prologue and not during the song.
- Ned and Freya Pike appear only in the prologue of Numbers Rhumba, not in any of the songs.
- On the back cover of the 2007 Warner Home Video DVD, Wags is altered so that his colors resemble his current design.
- The footage of Teddy Bear Hug is used twice in the closing credits.
- The 2007 Warner Home Video release of this and Sailing Around the World kept the HIT Entertainment logo at the end for unknown reasons.
- The video was uploaded on YouTube starting July 10th, 2019 as part of the Classic Wiggles series.
- With Paul Hester, this is the first collaboration video, the second was Wiggly Safari with Steve Irwin (aka The Crocodile Hunter) and the third was The Wiggles' Big Ballet Day with The Australian Ballet.
- Joannie Works With One Hammer wasn't done twice until December 2013 with the New Wiggles, Emma, Lachy, and Simon, it was just done once in a regular tempo, the New Wiggles did it first in a regular tempo, and again in a fast tempo.
- This is The Wiggles' second video remake, the others include Wiggle Time on the same year as this video, Here Comes the Big Red Car and It's Time to Wake Up Jeff! (also known as Wiggle Around the Clock in America) in 2006, Hot Potatoes! The Best of The Wiggles in 2014, and Wiggly Wiggly Christmas in 2017.
- The outro of this video later reused it's audio in the end credits of 2000's It's a Wiggly Wiggly World! video.
Goofs[]
- On the Australian VHS back cover, Havenu Shalom Alechem was misspelled as Havenu Shalom Alachem.
- On the US small clamshell VHS and 2003 DVD back cover, Pufferbillies was misspelled as Pufferbellies.
- On the US alternate VHS and 2003 DVD Cover, the song list states that Havenu Shalom Alechem comes before Wigglemix when it's actually the opposite.
- The US and UK credits still show scenes of Teddy Bear Hug and Numbers Rhumba despite them not appearing in those versions. Because of this, nobody knew what songs those where at the time of those releases until those songs aired for TV Series 1 on Playhouse Disney in the USA in 2002, and Nick Jr in the UK in 2004.
- On the Canadian VHS, the back cover lists "Greg's Magic Trick" as a song.
- It also mentions "Numbers Rhumba" and "Teddy Bear Hug" in the description, despite both of those songs being replaced.
