History YMMV / NoddysToylandAdventures

** Played straight with the [[BrownNote music]] in Robot Village in the 1999 UsefulNotes/PlayStation game, and with some of the puppets on ''Series/TheNoddyShop''.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Big Ears lives in a mushroom house. At least it's not as bad as [[Series/{{Teletubbies}} another BBC show]].

** ''Make Way For Noddy'' is relatively more loyal, gives limelight to fan favourites, and [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff played heavily into Noddy's international popularity]], though is still often considered inferior by fans of the original books and stop motion series, due to the more saccharine plots, and weaker CGI and voice acting (especially the UK dub, while the original US/Canadian version had some decent voice acting).

** In one episode of "Make Way for Noddy", Noddy enters a MirrorUniverse where (among other things) Sly and Gobbo have the opposite personalities, with Sly being the smart one of the duo and Gobbo being the dimwit. Come "Noddy in Toyland", those are their personalities all the time.

** Martha Monkey can be mistaken as a boy due to the way she dresses. She did wear a pink bow in Toyland Adventures and the books. But since this isn't present in Make Way For Noddy this can cause some viewers to think she's a boy.

* AdaptationDisplacement: Subverted. People know about the books, but tend to forget Noddy was on TV well before the 90s rolled around. Need proof? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxEi2X1i0l0 Here]] is the TitleSequence for a Noddy programme in 1975, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPVXTmphw7c here]] is the full episode from ''The Further Adventures of Noddy'' c. 1983. Even further back is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7Wum7wEJC8 "The Adventures of Noddy" which ran from 1955 till 1963]] and the first TV series starring the titular character.

* FranchiseOriginalSin: The later adaptations gained criticism for replacing a lot of iconic characters with original additions. The earlier shows and even reprints of the original books are guilty of this too, largely to replace outdated characters like [[BlackFace the Gollywogs]]. Some characters like Mr Sparks and Martha Monkey were even replacements for earlier ones before getting replaced themselves.

* HilariousInHindsight: In one episode of "Make Way for Noddy", Noddy enters a MirrorUniverse where (among other things) Sly and Gobbo have the opposite personalities, with Sly being the smart one of the duo and Gobbo being the dimwit. Come "Noddy in Toyland", those are their personalities all the time.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Generally, each AnimatedAdaptation takes further liberties with the franchise, omitting or altering concepts and characters and restyling the format. The earliest examples of this were received better due to making only [[AdaptationDistillation ethical]] [[ValuesDissonance changes]] for the large part, though the CGI series tend to get flak for making heavy creative changes. ''Make Way For Noddy'' was considered this trope compared to older fans of ''Toyland Adventures'', though ironically became more favoured compared to ''Noddy in Toyland'' and ''Toyland Detective''.

* ViewerGenderConfusion: Noddy is actually a boy. He's probably mistaken for a girl because of his eyelashes and being voiced by a girl.

* {{Wangst}}: An episode of the CGI series has Tessie despondent for several days due to ''a balloon she owned popping''. She doesn't recover until Noddy gives her several dozen more. Being a {{Moe}}, she still makes it sort of adorable however.

* EthnicScrappy: [[BlackFace The Golliwogs]] ([[MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch including Mr. Golly]]) aren't that well-liked by modern audiences. [[CreatorBacklash Even Enid Blyton's own daughters and granddaughter]] [[OldShame aren't fond of them at all.]]

** The puppet designs for [[https://lostmediawiki.com/images/1/1b/Noddy2.jpg Noddy and Big Ears]] in the first TV series ''The Adventures of Noddy'' from 1955-1958 is notably creepy due to their somewhat [[https://lostmediawiki.com/images/5/5e/Noddy3.jpg realistic facial designs]]. This even extends to an illustration of Noddy that was seen in episode [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAaA6shLbi4 "Noddy's Camera"]]. Noddy's design was even reused in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3HI2PwQNqU old Kellogg's Ricicles commercials which ran during that period]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYIbObY8mmM before sticking to a 2D animated Noddy.]]

* EvilIsCool: Most of the characters [[TastesLikeDiabetes get their edges sanded off]] in the more pre-school orientated CGI cartoons. While the [[VillainDecay same is true]] for Sly and Gobbo, in their case it's mostly in the way of making them more LaughablyEvil and sympathetic in spite of still being {{Card Carrying Villain}}s, meaning they're usually the most fun to watch characters.

* TastesLikeDiabetes: A complete utter SugarBowl, with bugs whizzing around and having tea parties.
** Not in the same way ''WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer'' is, but the franchise has succumbed to the LighterAndSofter effect over the past couple of decades.
** Somewhat averted with the CGI series, since the goblins are far more mischievous and have wreaked much more havoc than in the older series.
*** The CGI series is dumbed down from the stop motion cartoon however, with more EdutainmentShow qualities and many of the cast's JerkAss qualities being downplayed. And apparently it has gotten worse with the second CGI series, ''Noddy in Toyland''.

** Averted with the faces. They may [[UncannyValley catch some off guard]], but they're seldom scary, unless you count Sly and Gobbo.

* UncannyValley:

** Big Ears in "Noddy In Toyland" looks a bit off compared to his previous appearances. He mostly looks dead eyed most of the time.

** Mrs. Tubby Bear crying after learning her son (Master Tubby Bear) [[AdultFear has gone missing in the book "Noddy Goes To Sea"]] along with the 1970s adaptation and ''Toyland Adventures''.

** The 70s episode based on the book "Here Comes Noddy Again" where Noddy has a nightmare about the goblins after Clock Clown discovers two of the goblins hiding under Noddy's car. We get glimpses of the goblins vandalizing his car alongside removing parts to Noddy's car. Once Noddy wakes up, Sly knocks on Noddy's door and takes takes him to the dark woods. Once Noddy and Sly arrive at the Dark Woods, they quickly push Noddy out of his car and drive off with it. It's worse in the original book, where The Goblins (Golliwogs in older versions) steal Noddy's clothes, hat, trousers, and shoes. They quickly drive off while a now naked Noddy watches on begins crying alone in the woods.

** The ''Toyland Adventures'' Christmas Special has two beautifully written songs both sung by Noddy. The first "Hello Father Christmas" which Noddy sings to Father Christmas after meeting him for the first time. Big Ears, Tessie, and Dinah Doll later join in on Noddy's song. The last is "Don't Let Christmas End This Winter" sung by Noddy and the citizens of Toytown (including Sly and Gobbo).
