Our eldest daughter loved Noddy! We had the books (updated for a modern audience), the car, watched the shows and even went to a live show! Fond memories.
I hates Noddy, I does! I remember the racist books (including the one where the Golliwogs stole Noddy’s clothes, and he had to crawl into bed with Big Ears to get warm), and was utterly put off by tapes of the stories being read (my brother obsessed over them for a short while, so they had to be played on repeat in the car).
Yes, they’re popular and have been innovative series, but really not for me, and the original source material has not aged well!
Thank you so much for this. I know what you mean about this. It's always good to hear about the opinion of other people on animation. I feel your pain of having this on repeat in the car, yikes.
I loved Noddy as a tot. I had a blue Noddy toothbrush which I used until the bristles were flat! Thanks for this Jon, happy memories, despite the stick Noddy has taken over the years.

Blyton's other creations may have more limited appeal now but Noddy has certainly insured her being remembered.
So intrigued, Jon. Don't know this one but looks very cute!

Thanks for letting me vent! I try not to be negative about things (‘if you can’t say anything nice…’) but Noddy is a bit of a pet hate of mine hahaha
Not at all, we all have those things that get right at us and need to vent. 😡
I loved Noddy! It's great to see the different versions of the original cartoon, I can't believe how successful it's been over the years
Noddy certainly has had stamina to stand the test of time. Thank you for reading.

I forgot about the toothbrushes as they seemed to be everywhere at one point. Thanks for taking the time to comment :)
