- The last missing episode animation, The Abominable Snowmen. has been released so I must do what I am compelled to do...
Make a review video for the animations that is, not take over a monastery with robot Yeti. Just in case anyone was concerned.
The theme at the beginning is called 'Flashback' by Flash Murphy - Hudba
Thanks for the kind words on Macra Terror. I was a senior animator on it and the whole studio did everything we could to make it as good as possible, so its lovely to see it being well received. :) Great video and analysis of every animation.
I've glad these are getting love and care. I watched the old classic episodes in the 80s and was very dismayed that such large gaps existed. I now buy the blurays (and will continue) in order to rewatch these fine episodes. Although slower paced, and low budget, they had a wonderful air of mystery like some Hitchcock films. I also signed up for Disney+. The animations are just great. I hope they keep it up.
Your living my dream working with doctor who
I also liked the Macra Terror. Though, I was a bit annoyed that they didn't animate the Doctor, Jamie, Ben and Polly doing the Highland fling to escape the Colony.
I swear with some of the animation styles they used I was expecting Archer or Lana to just step in to help the Doctor lmao
I was a New Who convert. The past year or two I've been watching Classic Who on Britbox. I'm still learning about all the missing eps/animations/reconstructions. Even if it's of varying quality, I'm glad there's all this material! I've pretty much given up on modern entertainment these days. Looks like I have a lot to still keep me busy for a while.
Enjoy as you delve into Classic Doctor Who and uncover layer after layer of all there is to discover! :-) And totally agree with modern entertainment - maybe I’m getting old but it seems new shows are so rushed that it seems to be over before it began, and there seems to be an unnatural reliance on sappy tropes, etc. I find the era right around where TV series were just making the first tentative steps from B&W into colour are some of the all time best series ever, and due to changes in writing, attention deficit, and even cultural, even the ability to truly appreciate how groundbreaking some characters and changes were just isn’t possible (you can tell people that Emma Peel was amazing and astounding in as much detail as you want, but i dont think modern/younger people can *feel* just how impressive this was). But yes, as far as excellent series, Doctor Who of course, Wild Wild West, The Avengers, The Prisoner, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, and so many others that look promising that I can’t wait to explore and hopefully add to this list as classics! :-)
@@NewtonDKCYou're just a boomer, there's plenty of great shows and films being made.
@@kateslate3228 Not like there used to be. There are some decent TV shows and movies being made now but no where near as many and the variety has gone. It's funny how you lot resort to using the word boomer as an insult when you have no real argument. Most of the time you people demonstrate how little you know about when the baby boom era actually was.
@@Trev359 It create you lot, so can't have been any good. Point is. Sturgeon's Law, dipshit. You're living in the moment and can see the entirety of content being made. Old content has already been sifted through and the classics and what's "good" has already been decided. The only other noticeable difference is people aren't being paid a living fucking wage anymore.
'Survivors' 1975-77, 'Changes' '75, 'Children of the Stones' '75, 'Blake's 7' 1978-81, 'Day of the Triffids' 1981...'Chocky', 'The Moon Stallion', 'Beasts', 'West Country Tales'...there are so many great series from pretty well 1970 (the advent of colour TV and John Pertwee as Doctor Who - the best imo) through to about 1984. That 15 year period was the true golden age of TV drama
Can't wait to hear your comments on The underwater menace and the up coming The celestial toymaker.
Great channel.
A lot of these reconstructions: ‘Let’s improve on the originals!’
The _Evil of the Daleks_ reconstruction: ‘We need to recreate the inconsistencies like some Daleks having pupils and that one Dalek with the weirdly thin skirt.’
Power of the Daleks: Let's make the production line sequence huge, no cardboard cut-outs or toy Daleks to be seen.
Also Power of the Daleks: It is absolutely essential that we animate this Dalek crashing into the camera
I’m glad so many stories from Season 4 and 5 are back. And having a definitive version of Shada is great, too.
The Moonbase is easily the best Doctor Who animation, along with Tenth Planet Part 4.
yo
9:40 It always makes me chuckle that they went as far as recreating the wobbling bed in the animation when they could so easily have “fixed” that error! 🤣
That and the Dalek hitting the camera in Power!
I watched that episode last week with my dad and couldn't stop laughing
I want all the missing stories animated because as soon as there done someone will find a secret basement full of the missing stories 😁
Well that's the sort of thoughts you get when you've had a few 🥃
I cannot begin to see how much I want the animations back.
At least give us The Dalek's Master Plan. Seriously.
Very well put together video, I enjoyed watching. Macra is one of my favorite animations as well, though I don't care for the Fury animation personally.
Fantastic review, The Invasion is my favourite animation. I hope it’s not the end of Dr Who animations, I hope they’ll do the rest some time in future. Im excited to see your Tom Baker era review.
I do like the fully continuous, full screen, color episodes. At first, I wanted them to be faithful to the transmitted version, but I think it's better to go with the story. In other words, make the story work. If someone wants to see it in black and white, fine, include that too as part of the release -- as well as the not-filled-plot holes -- if they want. Why not?
holy shit the 3d yeti looks like it came straight out of xavier renegade angel wtf
The Moonbase animation is by far the best, shame they never kept that style.
Very enjoyable video. Thanks. Hopefully, it’s just a coincidence that the end of current funding on animations was announced shortly after all the negative criticism regarding Web of Fear, but I believe BBC Studios do listen to the fans. That’s why we should all email BBC Studios with our positive comments and requests for the return of the animations ASAP. I did, and got a reply. Look at what the fans of American TV series The Expanse achieved. Surely, during the 60th anniversary year, we could do the same?
I agree.
Now look at the toymaker animation 🤣
Interesting video. I never watched the early stuff first time as I was only born in 1968. My earliest memory is the Sea Devils walking out of the sea. Obviously Tom & Liz were my childhood TARDIS double act. More recently Peter & my beloved Jenna. I enjoy the animations. Yes the quality varies. The upcoming toymaker looks hideous!
I always get a kick out of these animations, because it's such a simple yet boundless concept, animating audio from the past but it's happening now. Also, this video is a real 10. Can't wait for more, but take your time,
Great video!
I can't wait for the 5 hour every Tom Baker story review!
Haha thanks! It's a work in progress - I'm expecting it to be around 3 hours, but who knows!!!
Why don't animators run the sound through AI enhancement systems ? I keep making demos sowing the INCREDIBLE improvements possible, but my comments keep getting wiped. I'm not advertising the product. I get nothing from it, but everyone would LOVE the improved sound if they ever heard it ! DM me for links !
My favorite Doctor Who animations are The Power of the Daleks and The Evil of the Daleks
The new Jamie model will be a perfect likeness of Hamish Wilson.
The Moonbase and the 4th episode of The 10th Planet are my favourite animated episodes. Evil of the Daleks was really good as well
DUDE NEEDS TO UPDATE THIS VID, heh heh, soooo glad I get to say that! ^____^
Reign of terror wins the award for being the only animated doctor who story I can recall falling asleep in.
To be fair, I just find it hard to enjoy most pure historicals
Don't remind me of the PG logo on the abominable snowmen cover
Thanks for posting. Excellent watch and very interesting
"My arms are to long"
i like to seeing this DR who had workings form the 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 was cool too,
My dear fellow, i clicked and i thumbed up, you have clearly devoted a lot of time to watching WHO, which i would be the first too admit is not the easist watch a lot of the times - no matter how big a fan. I am enjoying going through your vlogs. I dont always agree - at all - but who cares about that.
One of the reasons I chose not to buy the special edition of Power of the Daleks is because they changed the 2nd Doctor's pants to being a bland colour. I also never had a problem with it. Now you've shown scenes were cut I'm even more glad I have the first animated version.
Will you be doing a follow up with the recent animated underwater menace and the upcoming celestial toymaker animation now that the animations are continuing?
The reason behind the changes on galaxy 4 was to look similar to 60s style movies, lots of colour etc
Drawing influence from the black hole or forbidden planet I believe
I don't think any of the animation would been possible without BBC radio phonic soundtracks. Trying put together most cast members wouldn't been possible.. As many of them not longer living to re-record them.
I am curious about one thing. That involves the motion capture thing.
Now we know why the funding was cut ahah
I hope when they FINALLY animate Wheel in Space, they use the stuff they already made, unless they can redo it better.
galaxy 4 is definitely my favorite anninmation
The best company that animated the lost story is Studio 55 which is both defunct and absorbed by the BBC. They did The Reign of Terror , the 10th Planet and Moonbase.
Beggars can’t be choosers but the other amalgamated parties that did the later projects of Troughton’s lost episode is meh to it looks like a coloring book. Especially when they cut out scenes that was originally in that episode.
Ex: Macra Terror, the Doctor goes into a grooming chamber to give him a hair and outfit cleaning which ends in child comedic fun. That scene was cut and moved forward.
Were Region of Terror and 10th Planet rotoscoped?
Planet of The Daleks and some of the later ones remind me of Archer
Yeah, Planet 55 did use rotoscoping on Reign, Tenth and Moonbase if I remember correctly
Cool video
Galaxy 4 I first thought at seeing it, was a load of Crap, but, at seeing it properly now, it really does not look so bad as i first thought it was, (So much for what i thought eh.).
Watched Galaxy 4 for the first time a few days ago!
I only wish Plan55 had done Web of Fear 3, that one was a hot mess.
the Yeti was upsetting
I love the invasion anamted and the tenth planet and the moonbase and the macro terror and the the power of the daleks and the macro terror and the facelessones and the evil of the daleks animated and the web of fear animated and i also love the wheel in space animated episode one and the animated version of galaxy four and the abominable snowman animated and the underwater mennies animated in fact I love all of the animated doctor who storys available to buy on dvd and blue ray i own alot of them on DVD
Loved that. More or less agree with everything said.
The Invasion will always be my favourite, it’s simple compared to want we have now but it still feel 60s, they very highly doubt they’ll do any like that again because they’ll see it as a downgrade
12:16, where’s that picture from?
It was taken in 1973 for the Radio Times' Doctor Who tenth anniversary special magazine
Oh that’s interesting. I wasn’t aware that they were invited back for photos.
Favourite missing episodes? (Don't have to be animated)
You missed The Underwater Menace from your tier ranking at the end. Where would you put it?
It was never animated so I didn't include it, there was only ever a recon on the DVD
The best ever is still the invasion. Nothing has ever matched that in terms of its combination of stylishness and practicality. The worst is Reign of Terror, followed closely by Moonbase. Abomiable atrocities of animation barely dignifying the term. Vomit inducing.
The new Pat troughouton ones are really good too. I still love Cosgrove halls effort, but theyre very close. Shame theyve wrecked it again with their GOD AWFUL toymaker animations.
The Web of Fear missing episode anime for Dr Who is dreadful. The characters look like have motion sickness or trying keep balance upon something moving underneath them...
28:51
Sorry to bring the haterade but as a lifelong fan of both classic animation and anime, these look like hot garbage to me. I honestly prefer still pictures with audio. It's a real shame to me that such an important cultural staple couldn't get better animation to fill in the missing episodes.
Well, lost 1960’s Doctor Who serials have a very niche appeal.
@@EditedAF987 I know... It's just that with the new series being a thing and other places they spend money, I feel like this should have been a labor of love. Hell, they could have done a kick-starter or something. How many serious fans would have either pre-ordered, thrown in extra for their name in the credits, or whatever?
Marco Polo deserves its own animation,the thing has been missing since it’s broadcast in 1964,no one has seen it in 60 years,give it some slack finally
