* AdaptationDisplacement: Subverted. People know about the books, but tend to forget Noddy was on TV well before the 90s rolled around. Need proof? [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxEi2X1i0l0 Here]] is the TitleSequence for a Noddy programme in 1975, and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPVXTmphw7c here]] is the full episode from ''The Further Adventures of Noddy'' c. 1972.

* ValuesDissonance: Before Sly and Gobbo came into the Noddy series in the 70's, there were four black faced dolls called "The Gollies" [[http://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/4/6/7/106467_v1.jpg who would cause mischief as well as not only taking away Noddy's car but including his clothes and hat!]] (They were eventually redrawn as goblins). In an article made to celebrate Noddy's 40th anniversary, Blyton's daughter stated that the Golliwogs won't make a comeback in the series for obvious reasons similar can be said for Gilbert Golly who was a naughty school girl that would later get replaced by Martha Monkey. However there was one Gollywog that wasn't mean named Mr Golly who previously owned ToyTown Garage who got removed in the early 80's for reasons unexplained.

** 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 confused her gender.

** Likewise, the low budget of PBS' ''The Noddy Shop'' tends to rear it's ugly head in the live action segments, where TheyJustDidntCare if the chroma key is done properly or not. Apparently some of the live-action scenes, namely those that involve the "goblins", are filmed in front of a blue screen and chroma-keyed onto photographed backgrounds to save costs.

*** 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.
