Cast and characters

Main

• Noddy (voiced by Louis Ashbourne Serkis in Series 1 and Santiago Winder in series 2 in the British/English version, Valin Shinyei and Antonio Mattera in the North American/English version, and Brigitte Lecordier in the French version) – Noddy is an investigator in Toyland. Whenever Noddy finds a mystery difficult to solve, and says “This case is really hard”, Bumpy or Revs encourages him, and he always goes back to what Mr. Squeaks always says, “A good investigator looks and looks again” or “thinks and thinks again”.
• Bumpy Dog – Noddy's dog and trusty sidekick.
• Mr. Squeaks (voiced by Jonathan Kydd) – Noddy's neighbour and mentor. He is a squeaky toy brownie.
• Revs – Noddy's red and yellow car which is alive and communicates by using the horn. He can also transform into a helicopter.

Supporting

• Pat-Pat (voiced by Martha Howe-Douglas) – Following on from the classic character of Tessie Bear, Pat-Pat is one of Noddy's closest friends. She's a creative, kind and friendly Panda plush toy who wears a pink dress. She has three smaller panda friends called the Pockets. The Pockets are extremely high-energy and excitable. When running they transform into black and white tennis balls.
• Deltoid (voiced by Bob Golding) – Deltoid is a male, futuristic toy superhero with a white sleeveless shirt, and tall, blonde hair. He aspires to be brave and noble, but is sometimes afraid and naive. He may have a crush on Smartysaurus
• Smartysaurus (voiced by Jess Robinson)– A female, blue toy dinosaur who wears a white lab coat and clear goggles. She is a super smart scientist. She often adds "-saurus" or "-asarus" to the ends of words like when she describes herself as a "clumsy-saurus" or says "point-asaurus" when remembering how to perform a dance move.
• Fuse (voiced by Jonathan Kydd) – A male, white, modern toy robot, with a blue coloured screen that shows his face. He can change his face by saying the way he feels, and the face that goes with the feeling he has said (like Baby from Kuu Kuu Harajuku) He is emotional, but gleeful.

Minor

• Pockets – Three tiny panda bears who live in Animal Acres with Pat-Pat in her tree house.
• Farmer Tom – A friendly farmer and near neighbor to Pat-Pat.
• Tractor – Farmer Tom's tractor who communicates by using his horn.
• Clockwork Mouse – A female wind-up mouse who dresses in a yellow blouse with daisies, who is the mayor of Brickabuild. She is loosely based on the character from the classic Noddy series.

• The Naughticorns – Three unicorns who live in the Fable Forest stables.
  • Hoof (voiced by Bob Golding) – An indigo, male unicorn with straight, dark blue hair. He is emotional and silly, he often plays pranks on others, and sometimes it hurts their feelings. But inside, he has a good heart, and always apologizes when he does something wrong.
  • Bling – A pink, female unicorn with curly, dark pink hair. She is very vain, and looks at her appearance often. She also thinks of herself a lot, and she sometimes makes remarks that aren't nice. But she makes up for them later, and tries to be a good friend to others.
  • Cloppycorn – A white, male unicorn with shaggy, light blue green hair. He is smaller than the other two, and is shy. Hoof and Bling often make him do things they don't want to do first. He always tries to get attention from them, but they sometimes forget about him. But they truly do like him, and try their best to be nice to him.
• The Builders – Construction workers in Brickabuild.
