The animation is a modified cgi that is unusual and quite appealing. Toytown is adorable, and Noddy is precious.

The characters are well-developed, and each has enough personal quirks to be easily identified and understood by children. In other words, each be counted on to have their own standard responses as various problems are put on them.

The use of color and fanciful adaptations of everyday items are very well done. Who wouldn't want to sit down to a cup of chocolate at Noddy's charming kitchen table? Or go for a ride in his amazing convertible car? Imagine a constabulary building with a policeman's helmet as a roof. And renditions of flowers are everywhere.

However, there is an underlying theme of PC reverse racism that is off-putting. Indeed, the "cuteness" can become cloying because of the writers need to treat one character differently than all the others.

The concept of lessons learned, while noble, is, in reality, subjugated to a not-so-veiled warning that the "minority" character is an untouchable.

This is a very cute show. I like that the episodes are short(15 minutes) Little Noddy always learns a lesson at the end.He lives in Toytown with all the other toys and is the local taxi driver. There a goblins that live in the dark woods stirring up trouble. His best friend and father figure is Big Ears who is always there for him when he gets in a jam.

It is an innocent little show that I don't mind watching,it is actually calming when my son is a little "wound up" A little hard to come up with 10 lines of comments, I just like the show and it makes us all smile.It is bright and cheerful. Too bad there is not Noddy merchandise available in Canada. I ordered some cute toys from the UK.

To sum up this show: it's very nice and truly captures the spirit of Enid Blyton's short stories. Toytown itself is simply adorable and Noddy is precious. There are other lovable characters like Tubby and Tessie Bear, Martha Monkey, Dinah Doll, etc, but my personal favourite has got to be Big Ears. He's such a sweet presence and a great father figure. There's a great deal to like. The songs, not only the theme song but also the songs within the actual episodes, are quite nice. One thing I like is the length of the episodes. They aren't that long, only around 15 minutes. The animation is very well down, nice and soft with an almost felted quality to it. Honestly, I had assumed it to be stop-motion and was surprised to find that it's CGI. The stories themselves are refreshingly simple and relatively easy to follow. All in all, this is a very nice show that while I especially recommend for children I find myself enjoying as well, just as I always ever since I saw it when it first debuted.

I really like this show. It is cute and very likable. I will say I grew up reading the timeless Enid Blyton stories and watching the BBC TV show, which I admit followed the stories better.

That said though, kids are guaranteed to love this show. It isn't the greatest animated show of all time, but it is nice to watch. Kids will like the songs, adults might, I am putting slight emphasis on the might.

The animation is very well done, it is colourful, smooth and crisp. The theme tune is one of those theme tunes like Pingu and Bear in the Big Blue House that gets in your head and stays there for a long time.

The characters are still their engaging selves. Noddy is very likable, and Martha is very mischievous here. But my favourite character is Big Ears, a warm and loving friend and father figure with a pleasant soothing voice.

The stories, messaging and scripting are quite simple, but are effective considering the main target audience. The voices are well done, Michael Dobson is perfect as Big Ears.

In conclusion, this is a cute and nice show for preschoolers mainly. But adults will like the animation, the simple messages and the characters. 8/10 Bethany Cox
