Doctor Who Animation - DreamLand (Part 1 of 7)

[TheTriggerBlade]

This reminds me of a crappy Garry's mod machinima, but since it's Doctor who I will ignore it. Though to be honest I did think this was a videogame when I saw the screen shot before I clicked on it.

[OMIGHTYGUY]

... how much did they pay the animators for this? o.o'

[TheRoamingGnome2]

Doctor: "Ahhhh the smell of fast food on the desert air!"

Me; "Ahhhhh the missing keyframes on a jumpy crappy animation!"

[bkwrmgrl1]

It's K!

[OliverTwist2013]

Is the animation SUPPOSE to be bad? ....... didn't think so.

[MrLotharofhillpeople]

Hey, this feeds the David Tennant withdrawal from the more recent Dr. Who seasons.

[eateroftheflame]

If you don't like the animation try closing your eyes and pretending it's a radio play

[BenJamminAsh]

When it's past 2000 and you're animation skills are worse than those in Reboot, you should rethink your career.

[horsegirlhorsegirl]

Is it really David Tennant doing the Doctor's voice in this?

[OMIGHTYGUY]

@horsegirlhorsegirl Of course! :D

[Dalekdalektruck28]

I like it

[pumpkinpatch26]

In real life I think area 51 caries experimental aircraft.

[AtarahDerek]

3:24 He looks like a character from How Terminator Should Have Ended.

[Trekkie155]

4:01-:07

Jimmy: "He Doesn't Look Aggravated To Me, Doc. He Looks Hungry."

The Doctor: "Doctor, Not Doc."

Lol, little reference to the Classic Series with the First Doctor and Steven Taylor. The Doctor never appreciated being called Doc XD

[krios739]

It's makes me think of iPhone game graphics...>.>

[AtarahDerek]

One problem with the description: Area 51 is in Nevada.

Good grief, England, you can't tell me you don't have any skilled animators.

[CanaryKeeper]

My imagination produces better visuals than this animation. Close your eyes and let your brain do the work! :D

[walker29100]

this is awesome.

[KHKULEKISULTIMATE]

2:44 *sniiiiiff* SAVE THE WORLD!!!

[TB4000]

They obviously had the budget to make it better. I'm just going to assume they made the animation crappy for some artsy reason.

Yeah, I don't believe it either.

[flaziola]

All these complaints about the bad animation, sheesh, Bad effects didn't stop Doctor Who fans enjoying a good story back in the '70s or '80s. Why should it now?

[AtarahDerek]

@flaziola Back then those effects were state of the art. Today they're outdated and cheap. We have standards that anyone with a basic understanding of Flash can meet. And this animation fails to meet those standards.

As an animation student, I'm entitled to criticize.

[xoxoMEEPoxox]

This reminds me so much of "Reboot." XD

[amsooldnot]

good god..... what ever happened to old fashioned hand drawn animation ?

[PurpleGloves]

This is hideous ugly animation. However if you put it on a different tab and say, stare at the picture of david tennants face, you can pretend you're listening to a proper doctor who episode and imagine the visuals yourself

[jessicalikesthings]

What. What.

[ceonotaph]

oh my god i'm going to pee myself THIS FUCKING VIDEO

[OrionSyndicate]

6:05 Manchester United? LOL

[MeyerMosh]

Such a shame that Tennant's face is quite as animated in an ANIMATED special! He makes like 20 different faces a scene usually lol.

[TheDraykez]

Luckily, the animation didn't put me off. :)

[krazykeysinc]

Get PIXAR to do the animation and it would be above and beyond this...Crap. And yet I still continue to watch...

[lollipopgerald]

I can remake the animation in a Sims game. David Tennant, however, can never be redone.

[Arella17]

That reminds me of Reboot...but not in a good way...

[nerdlass]

Mindwipe? All they needed were some Silence. :D

[HugeDrakeBellFan]

@nerdlass Silence will fall when the question is asked.

[YuutubeLosesAgainlol]

It might be better if you just minimize the window and pretend it's an audiodrama...

[PyromaniacStudios]

By the nature of the comments I thought people were complaining what the models looked like. But no...they look like Xtranormal characters.

[InHouseMaterial]

jesus what is wrong with you people.who gives a fuk about the animation quality. take a look back at the cartoons you watched as a little kid. did you watch it for the animation. no. you people are so annoying

[LoveAintJustAWord]

I'm watching it for DAVID Q.Q

[Mossthorn]

haha i like how they used the opening form the live action show

[clowcard123]

I don't like the animation version but i like to watch the real life version

[Daywalker727]

And I have to live in UK to see this? ._.

thank god for youtube :D

[glasssilhouette]

While the animation is admittedly shitty, David Tennant just makes it all better.

[AtarahDerek]

@glasssilhouette You're not an animation student, then. Even David Tennant can't save this. In fact, it's beyond Morgan Freeman's help as well.

[BassGosple]

@AtarahDerek I am inclined to agree with you

[redradrussian]

You know after 5 minutes in you stop mostly noticing the bad animation... mostly.

[stephkills]

The sixties had better effects than this.

[datacw]

"the reds? Manchester united?" XD

[Theforgottenstranger]

I want to watch this! but the animation is too horrid.

[henrymcpoo]

This looks like it was made in a cross between Garry's Mod and Wind Waker...

[thatguy5927]

I didn't know this was on Youtube.

To be honest, this animation isn't too good, but I have seen much, MUCH worse though.

[fredhalv]

This animation is horrible. Is this some amateur school work or something?

[joethulhuz]

1:34 The Doctor casually breaks his neck.

[Saiko47]

OH JESUS. The "used action figures instead of human beings to rotoscope" description was right!

[vinnebaby]

this animation isn't smooth at all

[Tailzkip]

this is to good to listen to because of David's amazing voice acting, but unbearable to watch due to awefull animation and stiff expressions...it looks like some guy with to much time animated it in his basment XP.

[TheDemeest]

I love it.

[HighPowerScope]

If it werent for david tennant I would have shut this off after 2 minutes.

[NCSartist3]

This is like Handy Many... or Olive the Other Riendeer or something.

[specialkrj]

Oh god Georgia Moffett, bless her, has the WORST accent.

[FullmetalShortOne]

What....is this crap. xD this animation is too painful to even watch.

[ojamalio]

The copper ship is like the one from 'The Sarah Jane Adventures.'

[ageshero]

Oh...jeez... this is embarassingly bad.

[ZavCoyote]

The models are fine but the animations are just... so... STIFF!

[starflowerfantasy]

this would be great if only the animation was better.

[myRincon]

WTF animation?

[Flameshadow1010]

BBC should've gotten someone from PIxar or Dreamworks to work on this, I'd really love this to see this with better animation, Sure waiting could be a pain in the ass, but Hey it would've been worth it

[ospreyhawk]

Was this a project for some animation college? This is horrid! I expect something of this quality from kids still in school!

[TheSpectre111]

omg stargate SG1

lol

[GenoX1987]

If only this got the Advent Children treatment.

[kidsKILL123]

W00t W00t

[MiotaLee]

I wonder why The Doctor alway's ignore guys and head straight for the girls..

[RevoltOfAges]

Oh God I want to be interested but this animation is just so shitty.

[Calriec]

@RevoltOfAges It is not. You should see The Infinite Quest if you want bad animation.

[vanessahdepp1]

It looks like a videogame^^

I would love to play it :)

[drwhostudio]

did anyone hear the music its from the 11 doctors theme.how or when did they make it when the 11 doctor was the new doctor who?

[Mistahealy]

Is there a reason it looks like no more heros? Maybe that new Iron Man Show on Nickelodeon?

Conventional animation would have been much better.

[geargrinder87]

i love who the doctor can go anywhere, including cartoons

[AndyRaslan]

Agent Smith cameo? WTF?

[MrBrinkle]

AWWWW YEAH HD

[TimeshipStudio]

Ha-ha-ha, this is incredible and in 3D. Ouch!

[uttermostjackdude]

how did yo make this?

[Iswhatsheis]

WTH!!! I just ate a bowl of chili before I watched this! LOL!!!!!

[mushroomshrub]

Wow, the face and body animations are so stiff!

[Romzyx]

The character models aren't too bad, per se, but only if the movements and expressions were a bit better...

[okkero]

The voice acting from Tennant is amazing, but the lack of personality from the animations make this not as good as I expected.

[alextacalec]

It's actually much better if you just listen to the audio and imagine the rest! XD

[punkKid62]

He's so excited to visit area 51 but he didn't look estatic to be there in day of the moon

[jesusmusiclover20]

@punkKid62 kinda cause he was chained up like a prisoner, don't think he liked that much...

[TomatoeAssassin]

The animation is hokey but the story is fantastic.

I'd love to see a multiple Doctor story.

[roxmasoxproduction]

oh wow this sucks, i love doctor who but man i can't even watch this

[nccvoyager2]

Not the worst animation I've seen, but at the same time...

[WolfMage141]

Wow... This animation is terrible XD

[iambluebird]

It's like.... Bad storyboard animation. Oh my...

[belongtobill]

ALLONS-Y!!

[bjeffrobn]

yeah definately woulda ben better in live action

[DoctorWhoCenter2010]

If only this episode replaced planet of the dead and was live action...

[poodlegirl4848]

This is weird; but, great too!

[rngwrldngnr]

Damn. This is probably going to get spanked in continuity this season.

[Astronaut4478]

the outlines remind me of borderlands.

[KelvTwelve]

If there was a Series 5 with David Tennant, it should've had this same exact intro, David Tennant and Georgia Moffett.

And then every kid will find out that the Doctor and the Doctor's daughter Jenny has a kid. Ah show incest.

[Ariellion21]

this would be better if it was actually live

[thepurplecrystalz]

this is like star wars the clone wars, but whoified.

[Evilisme300]

@thepurplecrystalz Thats rather funny since the Doctor mentions Star Wars in the ventalation shaft :D

[duchashes]

i really could use a mind wipe the internet is an unforgiving place

[OptimusLime21]

I thought that it would be cool because its doctor who, but this makes me sad.

the plot started waaayyyy too fast, it feels like I'm five again and the story is going so fast that I don't care how bad the animation is.

[Plingio]

The greaser at the beginning has a horrible American accent. It couldn't be that hard to hire an American voice actor....

[thelizardofodd]

@Plingio He's supposed to be a Native American.

[MidnightKobra123]

@Plingio its a native american accent

[cowgalannie]

I don't know why but I kept thinking " Strange things are afoot at the Circle K " When i saw the name of the ranch XD

[ManUMan2008]

The animation on this is so poor, incredibly stiff.

[fredo18ify]

"And the government won't admit it exists until 1994." Is that a referece to Independence Day?

[RockerHU]

heheh.... Take me to your leader! Allons-y!

[scarface12347]

as soon as i saw the tardis i was like dumdumdumdumdumdumdumdum da da da

[Obsidiax]

What on earth is wrong with this animation? No way was this made by a professional unless he had a budget of a fiver and a deadline of a week.

I'm in my first year of uni doing 3D animations for the first time and even my stuff is better than this and I'm... well... terrible at 3D animation

[abbieains]

@Obsidiax it was for cbbc, its a childs animation so it should beee...... CHILDISH :3

[TennantJunkie1993]

@Obsidiax Hey, Don't knock CGI. it's the first time they do this with a full-scale animated series, and they decided to try it out with Doctor Who. Isn't David Tennant whimsy-looking in full-scale 3-D CGI?

[CaptainJellico1701d]

@Obsidiax but it is done professional and is a dr who E.P

[skydivingninja]

David Tennant's energy as the doctor combined with the stiff horrible animation do not match up at all.

[reptilesRnice]

"Manchester United?" XD

[Sheytana13]

@reptilesRnice ahh yes, bursted out laughing at that point too.. xD

[kiaandketa]

this animation feels real awkard but i love the story though

[spacecowboy5000]

DT's whole persona and character comes through despite the animation. The man is a god.

[KarmStarkiller]

This would have been better if they'd just put a little more work into making the characters a bit more lifelike. *watches anyway*

[NickDude555]

Did doctor who just come into borderlands?

[torchwood11]

@NickDude555 thought I was the only one that saw a similarity between the two, they are very smiler indeed

[liongirlfc]

yes the l animation is bad but once you get past this it is actually good.

[tywhite3]

Wow. It's Doctor Who, but girl says Dr. No at 5:03. And this animation sucks. And the lip-syncing is terrible.

[PhyOSPhyOS]

@tywhite3 Obviously not. She doesn't say "Doctor No", she says "Doctor, no."

[Ember121Scorpio]

@tywhite3 lol...you're kidding right

[tywhite3]

Wow. It's Doctor Who, but girl says Dr. No at 5:03. And this animation sucks.

[tywhite3]

@ArgoDrac There's also a new one that star Matt Smith, but it sucks the big one. Don't get the Wii game either. That sucks just as hard.

[JamesOhGoodie]

I never thought I'd say this, but I prefer the Flash animation from "The Infinite Quest". This reminds me too much of that godawful "Clone Wars" cartoon.

[BewareSwordflash]

@JamesOhGoodie Hey! I like Clone Wars!

But yeah.... The animation of this sucks.

[MichaelDerettef]

Another nice example of fear mongering? It is rather funny how effectively people's attitudes are controlled or affected through entertainment. When will we start to imagine extraterrestrial people as human beings, like us... Have you ever thought that we might be considered as extraterrestrials by some other people out there in the universe? Maybe somewhere there are people just like you and me who watch their version of tv shows and movies and wonder: Is there human life out there, too?

[zeromtrx117]

Bless Tennant for doing something like this. xD He's a real trooper.

[zeromtrx117]

What the bloody hell am I watching?

[TwilightAndSkywire]

They didn't do David justice in this! =(

[Mozzyeon]

this would be more awsome if it was made into a wii game.

[drcarico]

Holy shit, this sucks.

[TorchWhoCanada]

is it worth 15 american dollars (7.50 pounds)

[MentalRob]

the style of animation done on with Doctor Who and The Infinite Quest story is a million times better than this.

[dragonOllie15]

whats that music thats heard at 4:54 and 5:16? I heard it on the Doctor Who Adventure Games and I think I heard the 2nd one on Fires of Pompeii, does anyone know what they're called?

[SerenityAithine]

Oh why Owwwwww 8U

[ragnarox16]

@ArgoDrac 3DS now! lol

[ceirlac]

The animation in the episode really reminds me of the Xbox 360 game Borderlands.

[tomtrollkiller]

I love this kinda animation

[MarcusAvon2]

love to hear a metal version of the dw theme

[DancingInTheRain73]

The corny lines coupled with the game-like animations just crack me up XD I do love David though :D

[americanpikachu]

animation - better than the other doctor who movie i saw. BUT i mean I feel like for the day and age, they could've done so much better.

[robertcasey97]

The Spaceship at the begining looks a lot like Androvax's ship in the sarah jane adventures:).

[Grizzlow2]

It almost captures the spirit of the show, but it lacks all the small facial expressions and gestures that only the flesh and blood David Tennant does... lol but amusing none the less, the animation's a little stiff tho

[scarface12347]

howdy partners

[Vogradify]

his voice not that awesome in this animation

[T50513]

is there ps3 game?

[Tribute0427]

Whenever I watch this video, I scroll down so I could just listen to Tennant's voice. As an animator, it was a bit hard to watch lol. xD

[angelinheaven212]

LOVELY! Here I was, searching the internet for something to mend that hole in my soul after I accendentaly watch thru the whole Dr.Who series a bit too fast ... And it just.. appeared. I don't care if its a crappy animated mini series... just the voice of David makes me happy :D

[KittyNightfox]

The animation is more than a bit awkward and I hate to be overly picky but Georgia Moffett's "American" accent is awful, I mean really awful. When she starts speaking I almost expect the Doctor to lean in and go "No, don't do that, no really don't, really." Ick!

[stormclaw001]

1:48 the object looks like the anti-virus in resident evil

[gottbutter]

i frankly dont give a heck how it looks like. i`m like walkin through a dr. who- less desert. i`m dr who starved and this is something like a drop of dr.who water.

and i gonna soak it in

[angelinheaven212]

@gottbutter : I feel EXACTLY the same! I'll take ANYTHING dr. whoish! :D

[toontoosh]

the animation here is kinda better but they did terrible job in capturing DT's look.

[TheVelma16]

@toontoosh they were close if u squint your eyes.

[toontoosh]

@TheVelma16 tell you what, it looks the most like DT if you shut you eyes COMPLETELY :P

[JamieJonesFilmsTM]

Meh...I will forget this ever happened.

[LoriCiani]

I suppose it's the poor man's Toy Story style animation of the characters and the obvious and poorly edited re-hash of series music that can grate on the nerves after a while. The script is good, the vocal acting is very good. Although, I feel it would have been great if the figure animation and music editing had of been up to scratch.

[OrliviaTheCat]

I am so appreciative of this... thank you to the one who created it... however, there was no interstate system as of 1947 as the opening scene depicts:(

[sierrasky12]

is there a non animated version?

[wscwildcat04]

This animation is cool, but one historical error I just notice. When the ship crashes it shows a road sign with the interstate symbol. The interstate did not exist in 1947, and would not until Ike came into office.

I really like the art style, and still screenshots of this
