Noddy Goes To Toyland - Arthur Humberstone- 1963

[@alpha_visi0n]

This is EXTREMELY fascinating to watch. I feel like this would be one of those hidden gems slipped into a public domain lot on VHS.

[@ryanmoberley7452]

We can't thank you enough for finding a piece of old early animation for the Noddy franchise.

[@tylernicholas7217]

In Noddy Goes to Toyland, I recently found out that English actors were Bernard Cribbins as Big Ears and Kathryn Beaumont (original voice of Alice and Wendy) as Noddy which they used their voices of various characters.

[@WeeWillySuperWhy]

Finally a cute version of noddy.

[@rayclam8079]

Brilliant! and faithful to the original story book. Rest in peace Enid Blyton and Harmsen van der Beek.

[@BriceInkling138]

For 1963, the animation looks so impressive, and the same can go with the audio quality. I may never know why this was not localized to the US, Canada, or anywhere, but this so far is really good.

Fun fact noddy was voiced by Kathryn Beaumont who Wendy and Alice in Disney Peter Pan and alice in wonderland

[@JamesVlogsHomeBeyond]

I never knew that Kathryn Beaumont was the voice of Noddy in this short film 10 years after voicing Wendy for Walt Disney's Peter Pan. It's so interesting to think that a Disney legend provides Noddy's voice.

So is Noddy the British version of Astro Boy? 🤔

[@scottydogheaven8606]

Don't remember Noddy ever being in cartoon format at all. Watched the UK 70s stop motion tv show religiously, even caught the 60s string puppet version at some point and I even had a Burbank Toys pull string talking Noddy as a child (he unfortunately got lost with my talking Rupert Bear years ago but I still have my pull string Andy Pandy and Orinocho Womble) lol! I believe the voice of the Judge is Derek Guylar the famous British comedy actor who played the policeman on the TV show Sykes along with Erick Sykes and Good old Hattie Jaques. Definitely sounds like him.

This is an adorable animation. I haven’t seen this one before but I’ve always been interested in vintage designs and animations. Noddy is a childhood classic. Do you know if they animated other Noddy stories in this style or was it just the one? Thanks for uploading. 😊

Hello! Most noddy media was either animated in cgi or stop motion. This is the only 2d animated example.

[@Fairyqueen2857]

@@Nostall123YT I remember watching Noddy’s Toyland Adventures and Make Way for Noddy as a kid. I’ve also seen some episodes of the 1975 series narrated by the late Richard Briers.

[@SensoriaFestival]

Our father (Arthur Humberstone) produced and animated this film which was intended as a pilot for a series. For many reasons the option to make a series was never taken up and the pilot was shelved. There's a great story behind it all which hopefully will get told one day.

It was a pilot, so it had to be bought for a series to be made. Very likely nobody bought it cause animation of this standard would be deemed to expensive for a full series
