Greg tells the other Wiggles to stand still like a statue. Murray does a strongman pose, Anthony stands on one leg. Jeff sticks his arm out like like a showman. Then Greg asks the viewers to tell him if any of the statues are moving. Of course, all the other Wiggles statue dance around, but when Greg hears from viewers, he turns around they assume their original positions. On the third try he finds out viewers is right. Afterwards, Greg says, "Let's do statues together, everybody" which means it's time to sing.

Nicole is drawing the water and sand. Sian is drawing a person about to jump in the water. Murray introduces the next song.

Greg has Anthony and Murray cover the box with a drape, spin it around, and chants some magic words. They lift the drape, and Jeff is there, but he's asleep. They ask everyone to wake up Jeff. Jeff wakes up, wondering what he's doing in a box.

Barney's Talent Show is a Barney Home Video that was released in March 26, 1996.
Plot
Barney and the kids put on a talent show, with a big one performing a number of songs with others or solo, and some of the kids getting their moment in the spotlight as well even though Stephen has stage fright by himself. Plenty of great costumes and sets, with songs ranging from "Alouette" to a "Wild West Medley." Even heavier than usual in its music content, this Barney video will delight kids who like to sing along.
The Wiggles as seen in the original unreleased version
This video was originally quite different as seen in a rare promo. The Wiggles wore T-shirts, shorts, and colored sneakers, and the songs were performed on different sets. Additionally, Henry's original costume was used as it was on the cover. It's possible The Wiggles decided to reshoot the video after not liking their new look, and decided to go back to the old one.
It is unknown if it was going to have any more or less songs than the released version, as all we see in the trailer are short clips from "Everybody is Clever", "Bing Bang Bong (That's a Pirate Song)", "Wake Up Jeff!", and "Dorothy (Would You Like to Dance?)". It's possible that at the time, these four songs were all they had filmed before re-shooting the video, but there is no evidence supporting or denying this.
Trivia
Paul Paddick makes his first appearance on The Wiggles where he plays as Captain Feathersword on video. This is also the first time the Wiggles say "Ahoy there, Captain Feathersword" (instead of the usual Hi Captain in previous videos) and Captain replies back "Ahoy there, me hearties". This is also the first video where Anthony doesn't play the Captain.
This is the first appearance of Captain Feathersword's ear ring.
Murray wears a red shirt that has a bit of orange.
Anthony wears a blue shirt that has the perfect colour for him.
Cockroaches member Tony Henry makes two cameos in "We Like to Say Hello", one who is with his family another who is with a Elvis costume and wig while holding his son.
In "Having Fun At The Beach" and "Wave To Wags", the camera flips over then turns right side up.
Some songs on this video like "We Like To Say Hello" were used in the show Mister Moose's Fun Time to premiere the show to America.
First video The Wiggles play the Red Takamine Acoustic Guitar.
Donna Halloran plays Wags the Dog in "We Like To Say Hello", "Wake Up Jeff" ,"Dorothy, Would You Like to Dance?", "Pipers Waltz" and "Goodbye Dance". In "Wave to Wags", Paul Paddick plays Wags the Dog in the studio scene while Georgia Troy Barnes plays him in the outside scenes.
"Everybody is Clever" and its prologue on statues were both filmed at the same time because of the set showing stage platforms and pillars.
At the beginning of "Wave to Wags", a camera crew member is seen.
In "Everybody is Clever", after Anthony sings "Now leave them there for 10 weeks", Murray mouths "10 weeks?!?".
On the American release, Everybody is Clever is cut and replaced with The Chase because of copyright. However, the prologue of Everybody is Clever is still on the video. On the cover of the American release, The Chase is not listed on the song list on the back.
The Live in Concert clip was filmed way before this video.
This is the first video with credits before the video actually ends.
Greg is shown in the surfboard footage of "Having Fun at the Beach" but not the beach footage.
Murray's daughter Georgia Munro-Cook is seen in the outside scene of "Having Fun at the Beach" and studio songs "Take a Trip Out of the Sea", "I Can Do So Many Things" and "Goodbye Dance". Greg's son Blaine Page is also seen in "Goodbye Dance".
In the Goodbye Dance the music they dance to would later be used in Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas for the song Christmas Picnic.
In "Wave to Wags", Anthony's brother John William Field is seen in a van followed by Tony Henry who is on the sidewalk waving to Wags.
This is the first time Captain Feathersword falls down as shown in "Bing Bang Bong (That's a Pirate Song)".
Jane Cook is Murray's sister.
During the end credits, Sian Ryan and Georgia Munro-Cook hold hands together. As a result, Greg holds Jeff's foot while everyone else wakes him up.
The Australian version is slightly longer than the American version, because "Everybody is Clever" is slightly longer than "The Chase".
This is the only video released in America that doesn't receive a DVD release.
The concert footage at the end of the video is from the Big Red Car Show.
Goofs
Henry's first costume was used on the Australian front cover, but he has his 2nd costume in the video.
In the concert clip, Dorothy had her second costume but in the rest of the video, she has her 3rd costume.
The "Live In Concert" clip has Greg, Murray and Anthony wearing short-sleeved shirts. Jeff, however still wears an ordinary long sleeved purple skivvy.
Special Thanks in the end credits mistakenly labels Clare, Joseph and Dominic's last names as Silvestrini instead of Field. Silverstrini is actually the family name of their cousins who also participate in Wiggles videos.
In the skit before Dorothy (Would You Like To Dance With Me?), Jeff invites Dorothy to dance with them; they link arms to walk to the stage, but then it cuts to Jeff standing in the back by his keyboard.
In the middle of Bing Bang Bong (That's A Pirate Song), when The Wiggles help Captain Feathersword up after his fall, studio lights can be seen in the upper right corner.
In almost every song in this video, you can see studio lights and sides of sets.
