History WesternAnimation / NoddysToylandAdventures

* OvertookTheSeries: The 1975 series consisted of adaptations of the original novels. ''Toyland Adventures'' had some looser takes on some of the remaining stories of the 24 novel series, though naturally the 52 episode series soon went in it's own direction. ''Make Way For Noddy'' and ''Noddy In Toyland'' consist almost entirely of original stories.

* LicensedGame: The first ever Noddy video games were released on the Amiga (but not on the UsefulNotes/{{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 SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}} 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 UsefulNotes/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 UsefulNotes/GameBoyColor in the same year, called ''Noddy and the Birthday Party'', where Noddy had to prepare for Big Ear's birthday in time.

* LivingToys: A bigger offender than ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory''.
* MeaningfulName: We dare you to find a character who ''doesn't'' live up to his or her name!

* NiceGirl: Tessie Bear.

* AdaptedOut: In the original books, Big Ears used to own a black and white cat named "Whiskers" that lived in his Toadstool House. In modern adaptations, Whiskers is completely absent. Speaking of cats, [[https://c8.alamy.com/comp/RBKA2W/card-from-a-noddy-snap-card-game-1955-miss-fluffy-cat-RBKA2W.jpg Miss Fluffy Cat]] (a friendlier Toy Cat and the opposite of Miss Pink Cat) was also omitted from televised adaptations ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDbnx3hzRiE save for a brief speaking role]] in the 1972 audio adaptation of ''Noddy Goes To School'', and a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UprOiIfM1hM 1969 commercial]] for Kellogg's Ricicles). Mickey Monkey (sometimes called "Micky") is also another character that never made it into future TV adaptations. [[note]] Mickey Monkey (referred as "Mr. Monkey" did appear in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33xqsyQ9as4 one commercial for Kellogg's Sugar Ricicles]] in the 1960s. [[/note]] Angela Golden Hair is also left out in future televised incarnations of the series with her only appearance being the 1955 puppet series ''The Adventures Of Noddy''. The Golly family are also adapted out, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golliwog because golliwogs.]]

* MythologyGag: In the Christmas Special for ''Toyland Adventures'', Father Christmas asks Noddy to sing a song to teach the goblins how to behave around Christmas with Noddy telling Father Christmas "I make up my songs as I go along.". That line is a reference to the original Noddy books where Noddy is frequently singing when he's very cheerful or upset and would make his own songs. The Christmas Special is also the only time Noddy is ever heard singing in the series. However, Noddy's frequent singing was brought back for ''Make Way For Noddy'' and was present in the first stop-motion series ''The Further Adventures of Noddy''.

** The earliest animated appearance of Noddy besides the stop-motion series was in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol3gbHd6oDY 1960s commercials]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AAEbgDAoL4 for the]] [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rPu7z658zgw Kellogg's Sugar Ricicles cereal]]

* CulturalTranslation: In France, the cartoon was called "Les Aventures de Oui-Oui" (literally meaning ''The Adventures of Noddy''), whilst the Japanese version is called "Konichiwa Noddy". (literally meaning ''Hello Noddy'', by analogy with ''Franchise/HelloKitty'').

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Sly and Gobbo.

The show and the books follow the adventures of Noddy, a little wooden doll who wears a pointed hat and drives a little yellow car that goes Putt-Putt. He lives next door to a TricksterArchetype little teddy bear called Master Tubby Bear, who lives with Mr. and Mrs. Tubby Bear, and, of course, Noddy's girlfriend, Tessie Bear! Noddy's best friend besides her is Big Ears, who is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. He's got big ears. The Toyland policeman is called Mr. Plod, who most of the time asks Noddy whether he can be Noddy's Special Constable.

* TricksterArchetype: Master Tubby Bear.

In 2011, a second CGI revival, ''Noddy In Toyland'' premiered, with an even LighterAndSofter premise and some of the characters, notably Tessie Bear and the goblins, given a redesign.

* AdaptationDistillation: The first Act of the 1994 stage show [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4GyISRWtjk&t=3320s "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 new where Noddy and Tessie has to rescue Whiskers from a Witch named "The Wily Witch" that Sly traded for sixpences.

* OneShotCharacter: Bunkey, a circus monkey only showed up in one book ("Noddy And The Bunkey") and episode where he had to disguise himself as a half monkey half bunny to make sure nobody recognizes him. Mr. Plod later tells Noddy and Tessie Bear that Bunkey was actually a runaway circus monkey and thief. When he steals Noddy's car he apologizes to him and only wanted to help and drives away which was the last time he and Tessie ever saw him. He is last seen dancing on top of Noddy garage in a hula skirt. However, Bunkey does make an appearance in ''Series/TheNoddyShop'' episode "Be True To Who You Are".

** Mr. Plod becomes this in the second CGI series where he would laugh at anything that appears funny to him. One episode had Tessie and Noddy dancing to wind up chattering teeth and in the same episode Mr.Plod starts laughing so much that he literally swallowed his laugh and the citizens of ToyTown have to find a way to get his laugh back.

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: While Noddy's backstory hasn't changed that much in the 70s stop-motion incarnation. In the series, Noddy meets Big Ears alongside visiting Toy Town fully clothed. In the original version and the 1997 stage show, [[https://www.enidblytonsociety.co.uk/author/illustrations/520high+3357140.jpg Noddy doesn't wear clothes]] until later in the story.

* EvilWizard: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJFuWRkjdp8 "Noddy's Magic Holiday"]], Noddy and Big Ears encounter an evil wizard who enjoys turning cakes and buns at a bakery stale, stinky, and moldy. The wizard's helpers are a group of cats with one caught by the wizard's trap. He later becomes fond of Noddy's car and asks Noddy to teach him how to drive. Big Ears later adopts the cat and names him "Whiskers".

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: The majority of characters that showed up in the stop-motion series who were also characters from the original Noddy books never showed up in the CGI series. Most of them have completely vanished from the franchise starting in the early 2000s. Supporting characters such as Mr and Mrs Tubby Bear,Sammy Sailor,The Milk Man, and Bert Monkey have all vanished from the series once ''Make Way For Noddy'' began.

** The 1994 stage show introduced a witch. In the show, Sly gives Whiskers to the Wicked Witch so he can get sixpence from her. Eventually, she asks Noddy to trade his car so he can get Whiskers back.

* WickedWitch: The 1994 stage show introduces [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/witch.PNG an unnamed witch]] [[SinisterShades who wears shades]]. Her motivation is to use Noddy's Car as faster transportation due to her broom not working properly. She also makes [[CharacterTic strange noises when she gets very annoyed.]]

* BirthdayEpisode: The episode "Noddy Delivers Some Parcels" has Noddy and friends preparing for Big Ears' birthday party. While preparing for his party, Noddy is assigned by Miss Pink Cat to deliver a parcel to the station.

* AdaptedOut: In the original books, Big Ears used to own a black and white cat named "Whiskers" that lived in his Toadstool House. In modern adaptations, Whiskers is completely absent.
