Sly (Noddy and Friends Character Books)

Product Information

Vague Age: Compared to the other toys, the exact age for Tessie is unknown. But some adaptations and older Noddy media varies between what age she is: Big Ears: "I'll go to the market, then I'll have an ice cream then I'll.. (bumps into Noddy) Why don't you look where you're going!"

The 1994 stage show also includes Bumpy meeting Noddy before becoming a citizen of ToyTown. Compared to his book debut, where Noddy first discovers him with an injured paw and homeless.

This show contains the following tropes:

Establishing Character Moment: Her kindness and overrall sweet-nature is instantly established in her first appearance in Noddy Gets Into Trouble. Tessie's first interaction with Noddy is by giving him a gentle hug and using her handkercheif to help calm him down. She even decides to make hot cocoa to help him cheer up before lessening to his problems that occured to him.

Pink Means Feminine: Wears an all pink dress and bonnet in some of the books (she wears different colored dresses in some stories) and various animated incarnations. She is sometimes seen wearing a green colored bonnet in Make Way For Noddy. In Noddy In Toyland she wears an all pink dress with a small bow on her right ear. Noah says that rudeness is like a spell of bad magic. Given the chance, Warlow reads a spell from the Goblins' book. It sends all the toys in the Noddy Shop on a tear of bad moods. Prone to Tears: Gets easily upset or worried. In the books she was prone to tears. An episode of Make Way For Noddy leaves her despondent after she pops a balloon. In the Toyland Adventures episode "Noddy And the Bouncing Ball" she starts to weep after getting scolded by Mr. Plod and Miss Pink Cat over Bumpy Dog. Women Are Wiser: Downplayed case. Tessie is often more rational and polite than Noddy, but equally naive. Deadpan Snarker: In the original books and older animations up till Toyland Adventures, Noddy was prone to making sarcastic comments when he gets very annoyed and upset. Especially around Master Tubby, Martha Monkey, and Bert Monkey.

The first book explains Noddy's origins. He is made by a woodcarver in a toy shop but runs away after the man begins to make a wooden lion, which scares Noddy. As he wanders through the woods naked, penniless, and homeless, he meets Big Ears, a friendly brownie. Big Ears decides that Noddy is a toy and takes him to live in Toyland. He generously provides Noddy with a set of clothing and a house. While Noddy is quite happy to be a toy, the citizens of Toyland are not sure that he actually is one. They put Noddy on trial and examine whether he is a toy or an ornament. Eventually, Noddy is declared a toy, but still has to convince the court that he is a good toy. The judge accepts that Noddy is good after a doll tells the court that he saved her little girl from a lion, and he is allowed to stay in Toyland. Noddy gets his car in the second book. It is given to him after he helps solve a local mystery. Token Minority: He alongside Santa Claus and The Goblins are the only humanoid characters in the franchise and aren't toys. To a lesser degree in Make Way For Noddy as well, where he's only semi-recurrent compared to the other regular characters, and is one of few that doesn't get A Day in the Limelight. Even Evil Has Standards: Even in the 70s series, they show limits. In "Noddy Goes To Sea" they express sincere concern when Noddy goes missing and might be in real danger. Adaptation Dye-Job: An interesting example with the original source material and future adaptations. Jumbo's color would switch between orange and grey in the original books. The 70s stop-motion series made him orange, while future adaptations made him grey.

Aunt Agatha is determined to rid the Noddy Shop of the Goblins, and so enlists an exterminator named Rodney Styx for help. In Make Way For Noddy, he's implied to be a child due to being voiced by young boys in the UK and US/Canadian dub which was carried into the 2005 live show. His redesign in Toyland Detctieve gives him an even more childlike apperance.

Hilda Sweetly (played by Taborah Johnson) is an ice cream saleswoman dressed in an ice cream costume. She and Noah are romantically involved by the end of the series. Played by: Jonathan Bex ( Noddy Live 1994)Owns a garage in ToyTown. He usually helps Noddy when ever his car is messed up or when it need mending.
