History WesternAnimation / NoddysToylandAdventures

* ProductPlacement: In the early 1960s, Kellogg's released two vinyl CDs that featured Noddy promoting the cereal brand ([[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vPtKcaOwOMU Noddy at the seaside]] and [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ow4sw51TGDk Noddy goes Shopping) with a few songs and a plot.

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

Britain's answer to ''WesternAnimation/EekTheCat''. ''Noddy's Toyland Adventures'' is a [[StopMotion toymation]] cartoon first broadcast on Creator/TheBBC in 1992, and ended in 2001. In case you don't know who Noddy was, then it will be explained. Noddy was originally seen for the first time in a series of books written by Creator/EnidBlyton (''Famous Five'', ''The Enchanted Wood'', ''The Magic Faraway Tree'', ''The Wishing Chair'') between 1950 and 1962. Also, this was not the first time Noddy's adventures had been adapted for television - at least three other stop-motion series had preceded it, the first airing all the way back in the mid-1950s.

* 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 2000's. 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.

** Martha Monkey,Miss Pink Cat, and Master Tubby Bear were all absent in the second CGI series "Noddy In Toyland".

In 2001, a {{CGI}} spinoff- ''Make Way For Noddy''- premiered. It was a UK-Canada co-production and the producer was Sabella-Dern. As a result, the North American dub of the CGI show used the talents of Creator/TheOceanGroup. In the US, a short segment, ''Say It With Noddy'', was pinned on to the show to teach Spanish.

The Noahs we're also important characters in the books and become supporting characters in the stop-motions series. They become background characters in "Make Way For Noddy" and they aren't seen at all in "Noddy In ToyTown". Same goes for Master Tubby Bear,Martha Monkey, and Miss Pink Cat, and Mr Sparks who all weren't present in "Noddy In ToyTown".

* ArtEvolution: The switch from stop-motion in the earlier episodes to CGI in ''Make Way for Noddy'' onwards.

In April 2015, a third CGI series starring Noddy called ''Noddy, Toyland Detective'' premiered, recasting Noddy as a super sleuth and reimagining Toyland even more than the previous shows. The show is also animated by [[DreamworksAnimation Dreamworks Animation Television}}, boosting a much bigger animation budget and a noticeable restyling of the franchise and characters.

* AbsenteeActor: Some characters get the shaft in ''Make Way For Noddy'' and even more in ''Noddy In Toyland''. Miss Pink Cat also does not appear in the video games.

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

* AudioAdaptation: EnidBlyton herself did a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uKkI6Q_Mzc narration for some of her Noddy books back in the late 50's.]]

* AscendedExtra: Whizz the robot was only seen in the "Say It With Noddy" segment that played after an episode of Make Way For Noddy where he tells to viewers to repeat one laughing along with Noddy. In "Noddy In Toyland" he replaces Mr. Sparks role and becomes a supporting character. Mr Wobbly Man was previously a background character, but in "Noddy In Toy Town" he's an owner of a shop that makes Gelatin Desserts and has more screen-time compared to his previous appearances.

* {{Expy}}: What does Noddy look like? VideoGame/PajamaSam or SuperMario? Your choice.

* TheKiddieRide: Several models, all of them are of Noddy's yellow car (the latest one, a carousel, still has the yellow car as one of the figures for kids to ride in). Evidently, the ride license changed hands several times from Bell Fruit to Amutec to OMC before finally resting in the hands of RG Mitchells, who promptly got bought over by Jolly Roger Rides. It can be said that the Noddy rides' popularity are only second to that of WesternAnimation/PostmanPat

** Master Tubby Bear has the same CatchPhrase as Norman Price from ''FiremanSam'', another BBC cartoon. Aw mam!

* TheHyena: 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.

* DementedToExtra: Mr and Mrs Noah we're supporting characters in the original book and stop-motion series. However in "Make Way For Noddy" they both appear as background characters and never speak at all.

The show and the books follow the adventures of Noddy, a little wooden doll who wears a NiceHat and drives a little yellow car that goes PuttPutt. He somewhat echoes [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]], as does his clothing. 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.
