Doctor Who Animated: The Smugglers - WhoSprites

We need your help animating the 108 lost episodes of Doctor Who!

If you have any skills in Flash, 3D animation (including Poser), Photoshop or a video editing program like Final Cut Pro, we could use your help.

I am posting new WhoSprites as often as I can. These are animated drawings of characters featured in the 108 lost episodes of Doctor Who. I will only be doing the drawing, not the animation. It's up to you to take these drawings and edit/animate them together to recreate the lost Doctor Who shows!

Get your starter pack of many of the drawings here:

Follow the thread! New sprites every week, usually!

With your help, we can bring Doctor Who back to life.


Artwork by, and animated by, Garrett Gilchrist. Done in Final Cut Pro, Photoshop, Moho and Poser.

In this first scene from The Smugglers, Ben (Michael Craze) and Polly (Anneke Wills) have just entered the Doctor's TARDIS - and he's none too happy about it, having already set the controls to leave ....

Fantastic!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!

Where do you get the soundtracks to the missing episodes without the linking narration?

Thanks you!

[ocpmovie]

Thanks. I got all the episodes without linking narration from a friend .... they're floating out there. You can also get a Loose Cannon reconstruction, those never have narration (though quality may not be great).

[waywardtravler777]

so did this get done yet?



[hypocrates1138]

Awesome! You do amazing work! Please keep it up!

Wow this looks really nice! Wish the other "animated" reconstructions I've seen on youtube looked even a fraction this good.

@KAISERANIME They DO do that. They tried to do it with The IT Crowd, remaking the series with an American cast, despite the fact that EVERY SINGLE JOKE TRANSLATES ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY. It's sad people don't realize how futile regionalism is. Just look at DVD manufacturing. Discrimination in progress.

Still, at least with the Power Rangers, what they ended up with was unintentionally humorous. Just check out the Bulk and Skull series, or better yet, Angel Grove High on YouTube here.

@ZaffireWolf Yes anime etc really started to go downhill in the90s. Kinda like compare the old Macross,Gundam,Ultraman,Super Sentai w/new. Anime in the 60s to 80s was best. What I don't like is now we have Power Rangers where they censor all Japan actors etc. Folks never used to have problems w/ULTRAMAN,GIANT ROBO,SPACE GIANTSetc,it was English dubbed. How'd you like it if Saban took Dr Who & censored all British actors & replaced them with US teens? Not a pleasant thought! Old anime was best!

[ZaffireWolf]

@KAISERANIME I'm not much into Japanese cartoons, but I can relate, especially to the older stuff. Putting aside the nostalgia and surrealist factors in retro content, and the more challenging availability of such, even as not an anime fan I still think it was kind of better back in the days in many regards. But then I'm just in favor of older, hand-drawn-looking and stop-motion animation in general.

[KAISERANIME]

@ZaffireWolf Folks talk about what a shame it is that some episodes are now lost for Dr Who. The same is also the case for many older Asian anime that are at best sitting in storage somewhere rotting away after decades! One series I wish could be found is TIME QUEST (TONDEKEMAN) that was sub in Hawaii back in the 80s. Has anyone got #7,8,12,20,23,32,35? Even w/o subs would be great.Also if anyone has a guide maybe they could help me ID 3 Japan episodes I have? TIME QUEST has time travel too!

Animating the lost Doctor Who eps would be awesome. Kudos!
