Production
The Wiggles logo was updated to feature a yellow splotch background behind their name. The new logo was applied to the stage floor and the video covers, but the Wiggles still wore plain colored shirts in the video with short sleeves instead of long ones.
The song "Vini Vini" was only available on the video's initial release. The subsequent release of Wiggledance, while retaining the copyright year 1997, have removed this video and its introduction. Former Wiggles member Phillip Wilcher has mentioned that the Wiggles believed that the song was in the public domain but it was claimed by a French composer.
In one of the songs, "Wake Up Jeff!", Anthony's brother and Cockroaches singer, Paul Field and his family are seen in the audience before Murray's guitar solo.
On 4 April 2013, the Wiggles announced the addition of Wiggledance! to their Wiggle Time TV service.
In 2019, the 1997 master was released into multiple segments on their YouTube channel as Classic Wiggles.
