History WesternAnimation / NoddysToylandAdventures

* LicensedGame: The first ever Noddy video games were released on the Amiga (but not on the [[Platform/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem SNES]], unfortunately) in Britian in 1992 and 1993. Then in 1997, another videogame, called the Magic of Toytown was released, and there was a free VideoGame/LivingBooks clone inside. It was compatible with Windows 95, 98 and ME, but not with XP. In 1999, there was yet another video game based on the cartoon, called ''Playtime in Toyland'' (''Let's Get Ready for School'' in Britian) which was compatible with Windows XP. There was a funny moment in one game, when Master Tubby Bear would sometimes draw funny pictures to annoy Noddy. Both games use [[UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash Macromedia Director]]. Also in 1999, there was a videogame for the Platform/PlayStation, Noddy's Magic Adventure, where Sly and Gobbo stole a magician's wand and decided to use it to cause trouble around Toyland. The game was released first in [[IAmVeryBritish the United Kingdom]], but it did get a release in France as well. There was a game for the Platform/GameBoyColor in the same year, called ''Noddy and the Birthday Party'', where Noddy had to prepare for Big Ear's birthday in time.

* EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench: Miss Pink Cat speaks with a French accent in the British dub, but she is voiced by the girl [[TalkingToHimself who does all the voices for the females]], [[CrossDressingVoices as well as Noddy]].

In April 2015, a third CGI series starring Noddy called ''Noddy, Toyland Detective'' premiered, recasting Noddy as a super sleuth and reimagining Toyland even more than the previous shows. The show is also animated by [[Creator/DreamworksAnimation Dreamworks Animation Television]], boosting a much bigger animation budget and a noticeable restyling of the franchise and characters.

* DubNameChange: Most of the characters changed their names in France. Examples include:
** Noddy to Oui-Oui
** Big Ears to Poitron
** Mr. Plod to Monsieur le Gendarme
** Tessie Bear to Mirou
** Master Tubby Bear to Nestor

* AdaptationDistillation: The first Act of the 1994 stage show [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_7DZSzZlsE "Noddy Live"]] combines ''Toyland Adventures'' with the original book universe. The first act combines ''Noddy Goes To Toyland'' and ''Noddy And His Car'', while Sly and Gobbo were introduced as soon as Big Ears first encounters Noddy. [[note]] In the original books, Noddy first meet Gobbo in ''Hurrah For Noddy'', and Sly in ''Well Done Noddy'' [[/note]] Whiskers the cat (as a puppet) is also prominent in the show. ''Toyland Adventures'' gets a small reference when Tessie mentions Dinah Doll being on holiday and is chosen to run her shop. The second is entirely original where Noddy and Tessie has to rescue Whiskers from a Witch named "The Wily Witch" that Sly traded for sixpences.

** ''Make Way For Noddy'' devotes a fair few episodes to the supporting characters. Master Tubby Bear, Mr Plod, Dinah Doll, Miss Pink Cat, Mr Jumbo, Clockwork Mouse, Mr Wobblyman, and the goblins all get stories centred around them, sometimes with Noddy only in a minor role.

%%* LivingToys: A bigger offender than ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory''.

** Taken UpToEleven with 2009's ''Noddy In Toyland'' where the edutainment aspect is removed in favor on focusing on humor and bizarre situations. Even the show's soundtrack is more bubblier and goofier.

* NiceHat: Noddy's blue hat and bell.

* AdultFear: In "Noddy Goes To Sea", Master Tubby Bear decides to runaway after getting scolded by Mr. Tubby Bear for messing with Noddy. The next morning, Noddy is sees the Tubby Bears begging Noddy to find their son, while Mrs. Tubby Bear is crying the entire time.

* AbsenteeActor: Some characters get the shaft in ''Make Way for Noddy'' and even more in ''Noddy In Toyland'' and ''Toyland Detective''. Miss Pink Cat also did not appear in the video games based on ''Noddy's Toyland Adventures'' but appeared in the ''Make Way for Noddy'' game ''Noddy and the Magic Book''.

* TheMusical: Due to [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff Noddy's massive popularity in France]], the country was able to receive two musicals based on "Noddy In Toyland" between 2009 and 2013. The first "Oui-Oui et le cadeau Surprise" ("Noddy And The Surprise Gift") was created to celebrate the [[MilestoneCelebration franchise's 60th Anniversary]], while the second "Oui-Oui Et Le Grand Carnaval" ("Noddy And The Big Carnaval") involves Noddy attending his first Carnaval with Mr. Plod, Tessie, Dinah, Whiz and Mr. Jumbo (later joined by Sly and Gobbo).

* ShoutOut: In "Noddy in Toyland", Mr. Plod is a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Laughing_Policeman_(song) laughing policeman]].

* VacationEpisode: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1aet0m8YjI 1974 vinyl record "Noddy's Magic Holiday"]], involves Noddy, Big Ears, and the Skittle Children going on holiday at the seaside. They later encounter a mean wizard who wants to learn how to drive, while rescuing a kidnapped cat.

* BritishBrevity: Both the 70s ''Noddy'' series and ''Toyland Adventures'' produced 11-14 episodes per season. The former totalled at 25 episodes, though the latter had more palpable 53 episodes. Subverted with the CGI series which often produced over 100 episodes.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: Beginning in the mid 1970s, the original books had some pages redrawn. Such as The Goblins replacing The Golliwogs, and Mr. Sparks replaced Mr. Golly. In later years, Martha Monkey was added into the original books as a replacement for Master Gilbert Golly.
