ANYONE
IN IT WE KNOW?
Noddy,
Big Ears, Mr Plod, Mr Sparks, Tessie Bear,
WHAT’S
IT ABOUT THEN?
A
superbly realised all CGI
version of Toytown dealing with
the adventures of Noddy and his
friends Big Ears, Mr Plod, Mr
Sparks and Tessie Bear. This
volume contains 6 stories.
SO
IS IT ANY GOOD?
These
new CGI adventures of the loveable Noddy hold enormous charm, the world
of Toytown is superbly realised and Noddy himself is undeniably cute, my
two year old is a major fan so we are already pretty familiar with this
new world of Noddy and his friends. The old BBC stop motion series was
excellent but this new Canadian version takes things a step further, you
can do so much with the CG images, from swooping camera shots to
extravagant special effects.
There
are six stories in this collection allowing plenty of opportunity for
not just noddy but his friends too to have their turn in the spotlight,
besides his best friend Big Ears other key figures in Noddy’s world
include Mr Plod the policeman, Tessie Bear, whom Noddy seems to have a
major crush on and those terribly naughty goblins Sly and Gobbo for whom
mischief is a way of life.
Of
the six episodes there are a couple of quite scary ones for younger
viewers especially Noddy and the Bumper Monster and Don’t Be Scared,
Noddy – both of these taking place at night and dealing with perceived
monsters (Noddy is convinced a monster is on his tail in the first even
though he just has something tied to his bumper and he thinks there are
monsters lurking under his bed in the second). All in all though we like
Noddy and recommend him whole heartedly.
