Noddy In Toyland

The cuckoo sees what fun everyone’s having and decides to fly off and look for some fun of her own. She tries swimming with the ducks – too cold; pecking the ground for worms, but that’s not for her either. And she has no idea how wrong things are going to go without her. Mr Plod’s shoes wear through because he doesn’t know when to stop his morning round. The guards change twice in one minute then not for hours and Mr Wobblyman’s jellies freeze solid. They need her back! Noddy takes to the skies in his airplane and he and the paper planes search for her. Noddy finds her and they all head back to Toytown. Noddy has a great idea for a game cuckoo can play while still letting everyone know the time. Hide and Seek! She is delighted.

Whiz has no idea how birthdays work so Noddy introduces him to all the elements of birthdays prior to throwing Whiz his own party. The Goblins take advantage of Whiz’s ignorance of birthdays to tell him he must do some pretty crazy things with his card and present. But it turns out that throwing his present into the river is exactly the right thing to do – it’s a remote control boat!

Noddy goes bird-watching with Mr Plod to see if they can spot an Enchanted Warbler. They think they’re on the trail, but it’s the Goblins tricking them with a Goblin Gizmos’ bird caller. Noddy catches the Goblins and finds the callers but there’s the sound of the Warbler again...there must really be one in the wood! They trace it to the Goblins tree house where Sly’s door slamming makes the nest fall out of the tree, Noddy just managing to catch it in Mr Plod’s helmet. Mr Plod gets a beautiful photo of the Warbler and its chicks.

The Skittles show Noddy their shell collection... just one shell! Noddy takes them to the beach for more. Meanwhile Jumbo and Clockwork Mouse help the mermaids to decorate their roof with pretty stones and shells but in trying to stick one on, Jumbo manages to push the roof off. A call to the beach for Noddy means the roof is soon attached to his helicopter and placed back on. But then Mrs Skittle calls. She and the Skittles have been cut off by the waves and need rescuing. Noddy tells her to use the shells they’ve collected to make an ‘x’ so he can see them. He winches them to safety but the Skittles are sad they had to leave their shells behind. Noddy has a surprise for them – a big chest of shells left over from the mermaids decorating.

Noddy plans a big dance in the Town Square. He and Tessie tell everyone about it and everyone shows them their favourite style of dancing. Noddy isn’t sure what kind of dance he’s going to do. Then disaster strikes! Tessie’s singalong machine breaks down and Whiz can’t get the new part until next week. Everyone is assembled for the dance, what are they going to do? Noddy puts together an impromptu band – Jumbo’s car horn, Lindy banging a hubcap and the Skittles blowing across their googleberryade bottles. He gets into the swing moving about while conducting the band, that he finds his dance and everyone joins in with it.

Whiz is excited. His friend Woosh is coming to visit Toytown. Then he’s worried, she’s even more neat and organised than he is, what will she think of all his chaotic, wobbling, bumping, falling over friends? Noddy helps Whiz to try and organise everyone but it just doesn’t work. When Woosh arrives he manages to steer her away from any chaos but the robotic welcome routine he plans is a complete disaster. Whiz apologises to Woosh. His friends may be disorganised but he thinks they’re great. But what’s this? Woosh loves them too! She can see robots anytime in robot town. She loves the mayhem of Toytown. Noddy says he knows somewhere she’s going to REALLY love – the Jelly Bowl. Woosh is beside herself with enjoyment, taking photos and laughing at the antics in the Jelly Bowl.

There’s so much fun that needs spoiling in Toytown, the Goblins order a Goblin Doubler. With Fake Sly and Fake Gobbo around they should be able to spoil all the fun! But trouble soon starts brewing with Fake Sly taking all the credit and Gobbo preferring him to real Sly. Sly eventually seeks Noddy’s help to get rid of them. Noddy works out how to reverse the Goblin Doubler and things get back to normal.

Tessie’s planning a honey sandwich picnic but her sensitive bees are frightened away by Jumbo’s huge sneeze. Noddy and Tessie follow some buzzing sounds but they turn out to be Mr Plod, snoring, then Whiz’s drill! Spotting the real bees, they follow them into the wood where Big Ears intends to magic lots of flowers to lure them back but only manages one giant one that’s too heavy to lift. Noddy says it’s perfect. He and Tessie attach it to Noddy’s helicopter and the bees follow it back to Tessie’s house where the bees are guests of honour at the picnic.

The pirates are in town. There’s no wind to sail and they want to have fun. Playing cricket with Noddy and the Skittles, they start burying the ball. They can’t help themselves, it’s what pirates do! When they disappear along with Tessie’s picnic hamper, Jumbo’s driving gloves and Mr Plod’s whistle, Noddy decides it’s time to act. He confronts the pirates who apologise and hand over their treasure map. Everyone has a great time finding their things and digging them up again. But there’s one more x on the map.... it’s Noddy’s helicopter helmet and it gives him a great Noddy idea! Telling the pirates to go back to their ship, he turns up in his helicopter creating enough wind with its blades to blow the pirates back out to sea.

The Goblins see what fun the Skittles are going to have going for a ride with Noddy and Tessie on the Toytown Express so they steal the train and won’t stop for anyone to get on. Hero Noddy climbs aboard and stops the train and the Skittles get their ride.

Jumbo accidentally knocks Clockwork mouse’s house down. Again. Just by trying to get inside. Clockwork mouse needs a bigger house and Noddy and the townsfolk help to build it. But then that house gets knocked down too! Noddy remembers the sticky custard Tessie was making and they make bathfulls of the stuff using it to stick the blocks together for a Jumbo-proof house for Clockwork Mouse.

The Paper Doll’s have spent ages making beautiful dresses for a fashion show but the Goblins steal them and when Noddy catches up with them the dresses have torn on prickly bushes. Noddy gets the Skittles to help make colourful new dresses and they make so many that the Goblins are drafted in as extra models.

The Goblins get a gizmo that sucks up sounds. It gets full and bursts. Noddy is still on the Goblins trail when he notices that sounds are back but they’ve gone to the wrong place. Mr Plod’s horsey neigh of a laugh included. Sly is so fed up of his quacking footsteps and Gobbo’s piratey ‘Arrrrrrr!’ of a voice that he gives the Sound Sucker back to Noddy. Noddy sorts the sounds out and everything’s back to normal... apart from Sly’s quacking feet.
