History YMMV / NoddysToylandAdventures

* CantUnHearIt: Good luck reading the original books without hearing Susan Sheridan and Jimmy Hibbert's voices. Especially for Noddy and Tessie Bear since Susan Sheridan gave both characters unique sounding voices. Teresa Gallagher even replicates Sheridan's take on Noddy in ''Noddy in Toyland''.

* ValuesDissonance: Before Sly and Gobbo came into the televised Noddy series in the 70s [[note]] Sly and Gobbo were in two separate books, while the goblins themselves showed up in a few stories.[[/note]], there were [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/106474_v1.jpg four black faced dolls called "The Gollies"]] who would cause mischief as well as not only taking away Noddy's car but also his clothes and hat as seen in older editions of "Here Comes Noddy Again". (They were eventually [[https://i.imgur.com/G6PC5Kp.png redrawn as goblins]]). The original books in general used to have Golliwogs as recurring characters before later editions were redrawn. [[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/6359248/Noddy-returns-without-the-golliwogs.html In an article made to celebrate Noddy's 50th anniversary]], Blyton's daughter stated that the Golliwogs won't make a comeback in the series for obvious reasons. The same can be said for [[https://www.enidblytonsociety.co.uk/author/illustrations/520high+4856152.jpg Master Gilbert Golly who was a naughty school boy]] that would later get replaced by Martha Monkey. [[MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch However there was one Golliwog that wasn't mean named Mister Golly]] who previously owned the Toy Town Garage who got removed in the mid 70s.

* AdaptationDisplacement: Subverted. People know about the books, but tend to forget Noddy was on TV well before the 90s rolled around. Need proof?

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.

** In the original 1955 book version of "Noddy And Tessie Bear", after Noddy's kite begins carrying the milk churn and Tessie's basket of eggs. She starts crying in fear of the farmer going the two spanking by saying [[CorporalPunishment "The farmer will spank me for letting the hens out - and he'll spank you too."]]. Later editions changed the text to Tessie saying [[{{Bowdlerise}} "The farmer will be angry with me for letting his hens out - and now he'll be be angry with you too".]]

** The trolls have a much less cartoony design in the 70s series, with beady expressionless eyes, making them look much more sinister.

** ''Noddy, Toyland Detective'' and ''Noddy In Toyland'' (save for France where it was popular to the point of receiving two French exclusive musicals) is not popular among longtime Noddy fans due to the excess cast switch ups[[note]]Almost no one besides Noddy, Big Ears and Bumpy Dog is present in ''Toyland Detective''[[/note]], the retools of even the remaining originals[[note]]Fans were divided over Tessie Bear's attire and fur color change as well as many personality changes like Mr Plod[[/note]], and storylines[[note]]The DenserAndWackier tone and again appealing more to an infant market[[/note]].

** The 1994 stage show introduces a WickedWitch named "The Wily Witch" who decides to trade Whiskers the cat for Noddy's car (since she's having a difficult time controlling her broom). [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/witch.PNG She has a creepy appearance]] ([[SinisterShades such as wearing black shades]]), has an ominous character theme, and makes weird tics. When ever she's on screen, a child in the audience can be heard crying in fear.

* BizarroEpisode: Two in "Make Way For Noddy": One episode had Mr. Plod shrink into a size of a mouse. Another episode has Clockwork Mouse turn into a giant even bigger then his friend Mister Jumbo.

** Another sad moment in the 1994 show is Noddy deciding to trade his car to The Wily Witch for the return of Whiskers (Big Ears' pet cat). After The Witch takes off with his car, Tessie, Bumpy and Noddy can only sadly walk away from The Dark Woods. Later Noddy is seen secretly returning Big Ears' cat to his front door and watches his overjoyed reaction to his cat coming back. While Noddy is seen smiling at the two reuniting, it quickly becomes sad as Noddy is seen sadly walking away to his house after Big Ears shuts his door. He stays in his house for days until Tessie and Big Ears return his car.

* SweetDreamsFuel: Toytown in most depictions is as cheery and colourful as you'd expect such a place. ''Toyland Adventures'' and (dated CGI aside) ''Make Way For Noddy'' in particular have a very cosy and pleasant atmosphere, helped by their charming ambient soundtracks.

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

* EvenBetterSequel: ''Toyland Adventures'' is commonly considered this to the 70s stop motion series (which was produced by the same people). Though the latter has its fans, it's become pretty obscure, while ''Toyland Adventures'' has remained popular for its more polished animation, and expanding on the material with new stories and characters while still feeling true to the innocent charm of the novels (while also lacking the dumbed down demographic of the later CGI cartoons), to the point that revised versions of the books even incorporate elements of ''Toyland Adventures''. Notably Martha Monkey who was originally created for ''Toyland Adventures'' [[CanonImmigrant but managed to appear in the book "Noddy Goes To School".]]

* CultClassic: The 1975 stop-motion series is rather obscure compared to the modern Noddy cartoons (with some episodes seemingly lost). However it has a fanbase for loyally adapting the original books, the jaunty theme tune, Richard Briers' narration and voice work, and adding a slightly more gruff and sarcastic side to the Noddy universe.

** The book "Here Comes Noddy Again" where Noddy is seen crying after getting his car, hat, and all of his clothing stolen from The Goblins/The Gollywogs. Televised adaptations toned this moment down a little by only having Noddy's hat and car stolen but is still sad to watch. The 1970s series shows him crying while ''Toyland Adventures'' has Noddy saying "If I wasn't so crossed, I could cry!" after Sly and Gobbo steal his car and hat.

** ''Make Way For Noddy'' is relatively more loyal and [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff was rather popular internationally]], 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).

** The 70s episode based on the book "Hurrah for little Noddy" 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.

** While adaptations that adapted the book "Hurrah For little Noddy" kept the scene where Noddy gets his car and hat stolen. In the original book, The Gollywogs/The Goblins not only steal his hat and car. But they decide to steal all of his clothing leaving poor Noddy crying in fear without any clothing. This scene was surprisingly intense for a children's book and gained some controversy with British fans.
