* ADayInTheLimelight: ''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.

** The 1974 vinyl album "Noddy's Magic Holiday" had Big Ears frequently say "Pussy" (referring to Whiskers the Cat and the other cats at The Wizard's cauldron). While "Pussycat" is still used to refer to cats, nowadays "Pussy" is a slang term for female genitalia.

* HaveAGayOldTime: The original books frequently used ''Gay'' (happy) and ''Queer'' (strange, odd, or unusual) in some character dialogue and text. Both were used in Enid Blyton's audio adaptations between 1955-1958, and Kathleen Davydd's narrations between 1971 (''Noddy Wins a Prize''/''Noddy and the Aeroplane'') and 1972 (''Noddy Goes To School''/''Noddy Gets Into Trouble'').

* MediumBlending: Some 60s era commercials for Kellogg's Sugar Ricicles featured [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwYeXYjz5oU Noddy (hand drawn animated) in a live-action setting with children.]]

* CoverAlwaysLie: The album cover for the CD release of "Oui-Oui Et le cadeau surprise" features Mr Plod, Tessie, and Big Ears. While Tessie and Mr Plod are featured in the actual stage show. Big Ears never appeared in the show itself, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_91aDk7j-Zc&t=22s but later performances did bring in Big Ears alongside Mr Sparks to join Whizz, Tessie, Dinah, Mr Wobblyman, and Mr Plod's party preparations for Noddy.]]

"Enid Blyton Society" (a website dedicated to the author) [[https://www.enidblytonsociety.co.uk/noddy.php has a special section dedicated to Noddy.]] These include past merchandise, spin offs, audio adaptations, and books published before and after her death.

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

* OutlivedTheSeries: Both the 1975 series and ''Toyland Adventures'' adapted some of the original Enid Blyton stories, though both went past the 24 total novels and invented their own stories. The CGI series mostly stick solely to new material (though ''Make Way For Noddy'' made a couple loose adaptations).

* VocalEvolution: When ''Toyland Adventures'' was renewed for Series 4 in 1999. Susan Sheridan's vocal performance for the characters (mainly Noddy, Tessie, Martha Monkey, and Clockwork Mouse) is notably lower pitched compared to it's original run from 1992 till 1994.

** One episode of "Make Way For Noddy" featured Mr. Plod showing Noddy his family and relatives that were previous policemen in [=ToyTown=]. This is an obscure reference to the first couple of Noddy books where [[https://i.imgur.com/QGuyaP4.png there were six other policemen besides Mr. Plod that patrolled [=ToyTown=].

* 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). While never appearing in ''Toyland Adventures'', Miss Fluffy Cat was mentioned by Mr. Plod in the episode ''Noddy and His Bell''. 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.]] (The Gollwogs' only TV appearance was "The Adventures Of Noddy" and a background appearance in the 1963 animated short).

* 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'' and the 1975-1976 stop-motion series.

* NightmareSequence: In the book "Hurrah For Noddy", Noddy has a nightmare of The Goblins destroying Noddy's Car. This occurred hours after spotting two goblins hiding under his car.

* 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 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrOT4cRIEgw 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.

* 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).

** AnimationBump: The fourth season of ''Toyland Adventures'' (which was made after a six year hiatus from the rest of the show) is more fluid with slightly more detailed models.

* FriendlyEnemy: The goblins have the odd kinder moment.

* LighterAndSofter[=/=]DenserAndWackier: ''Make Way For Noddy''. Not that the books or ''Toyland Adventures'' remotely neared dark or mature material themselves, but the CGI series clearly aims more to be an EdutainmentShow for an even younger audience.

* AsideGlance: Master Tubby would look at the viewer while raising his eye brows a few times when he knows he's up to trouble unaware of the other characters.
** In the credits, Noddy is seen waving goodbye to the viewer then gets tired. Noddy then makes an hand gesture by pulling an invisible lamp which causes the screen to turn black.

** Some of the episodes ''Toyland Adventures'' and ''Make Way For Noddy'' are adaptations of the original books.

* AdaptationOverdosed: Consisting of, but not limited to, a 1950s puppet series, a 1963 animated short, a 1975 stop motion series, ''another'' stop motion series in the 1990s, a live stage show, and ''three' CGI series.
