I know this sounds like an unpopular opinion, but I really love Noddy, Toyland Detective. I used to dislike it back in February 2018 (mainly because it's disrespectful to its source material and I grew up watching Noddy when I was a baby back in 2006 [I watched Make Way for Noddy and even bits of Noddy's Toyland Adventures]) but when I rewatched the series on Netflix in May 2018, I started to love it. Don't judge me, I'm 15 years old but I still love this show so much! IMO, the concept of Noddy being a detective is very cool (considering that I'm a huge fan of detectives). Not going to lie, but I really like the redesigns here, especially Noddy's. He looks really cute here.
Now, here's the qualities I like about the show. The animation here is outstanding (it has a bright and vivid yet appealing colour palette with some detailed textures), the episodes' plots are well-written and creative (they have funny moments here and there, for example, in the Wonky Toys episode, when Fuse tries to find the green paint pot while having a malware installed within him and both Deltoid and Carlton tried to hide the paint pot but the former ended up holding it and Fuse finds it successfully, leading to Deltoid running away with the paint pot from Fuse while Carlton is chasing both of them, it makes me laugh real hard), the music there is really catchy and heck, some new characters such as Pat-Pat (my personal fave) are good, though there are some who are either mediocre or just bad. Heck, Big Ears (or maybe Mr Squeaks in the US dub) still retains his kind-hearted and supportive personality.
It's bad qualities time! Some of the new characters are, like I said, either mediocre or bad. For instance, the Naughticorns can be quite unlikeable at times. In some episodes, they sometimes cause havoc in Toyland (for instance, in one episode where Noddy is accused unfairly by Clockwork Mouse for "stealing" Fuse's eyebrows, the banner, the decorations and the trophy all because she heard a bell sounding like Noddy's on his hat, where it is actually Hoof who stole all of the items [he wears bells that sound like Noddy's except they have Pat-Pat's label, so no wonder Clockwork Mouse accused Noddy for "theft"], it's a good thing he told the truth to Toyland citizens though). I kind of have a sort of love-hate relationship with the Naughticorns (though I like Cloppycorn the most, he's the most likeable out of them. For the others, *S I G H*. Bling is possibly the most unlikeable out of the three, she can be quite a mean, haughty and bossy girl at times. Hoof can be a cocky show off and act vain and arrogant at times.).
I think that adding "modern" toys such as robotic toys, musical plushies and stuff into the show can be justified because I think that kids nowadays no longer play old-fashioned toys such as Victorian-styled dolls, wobbly toys, etc. Other than that, this Noddy reincarnation is GOAT (greatest of all time).
Just hope that it gets renewed for a third season! :D
