5:06. Make this a series. No seriously. If you re-did other Doctor Who Episodes like this... i would die laughing.

1:48 - Looks like the 5th Doctor discovering missing episodes. :P

The Dalek animations were definitely 3D CG animations designed to look like line art, which worked beautifully. I'm guessing one team of animators handled the Dalek animations while another handled the actor animations. The character animations look like a 2nd year art student's attempt in Adobe Flash. If you notice in the post-regeneration scene where The Doctor crosses the console room, his legs aren't even animated; it's just a "cut-out" moving across the screen South Park style. Word on the grapevine is that the team only had six months to complete it, which is an absolutely absurd deadline. This was a 3 hr long story - most CG Disney & Pixar films, which are about half the length of Power of the Daleks, typically get no less than a year for production. This project should have been given 2 years, minimum.

I dont mind the animation. Has a sort of low budget charm much like the show itself.

The animated characters remind me of the first season of Archer.

Trying to watch stubagful's power of the Daleks video but this one guy keeps kicking my ass

When you mentioned about somebody doing your art at the start, I was almost afraid we'd lose the stick figures.

I've never been bothered by the animation of these missing episodes. The chances of the original footage of Power of the Daleks may be lost forever so I'm perfectly fine with what we've got. Besides, the animation is 100% better than whatever you call the animation on Nutchack.

Still glad that I saw this and made sure to get it on DVD the moment I found it.

If these stories are never found then they should keep on doing these animations with other lost classics like Fury From The Deep,Evil of the Daleks and The Daleks’ Masterplan

If they want a good animators and good writers for Doctor Who, then BCC should hire everyone that worked on The amazing world of Gumball.

The Doctor's pin says Vulcan. Either they are referencing the greek god of fire, or an easter egg that is of a show only two months old at the time.

For future reference, just call me Ewan (You-wen), but thank you so much

Stubagful, What are your thoughts on the original Cybermen designs appearing for series 10?

going forward i think it would make sense to take advantage of the jerky animation to enhance the creep factor of some of these episodes.

I dont think people understand that doing these animated episode..it bankrupted companys like NO they cant do all of them, they dont even have the money to do 2 episodes

2020 stubagful probably regretted what 2016 wanted.

Power of the Daleks, Not to be confused with Energy of the Daleks.

I want Production IG to do the rest of the animations.

Great little analysis of this subject Im inclined to both agree and disagree with you really...on the one hand I completely agree that I found elements of Powers animation to be a little bit lacluster (Mainly as you mentioned in facial features and expressions and also in how they moved about) I also agree that I think, quite rightly, that they have all the time in the world to do these animations and that a plan of consistency and and quality would be a definate investment (as you say were not going anywhere so take your time and make it a damn fine representation) Where I disagree with you would be regarding taking a step back and sacrificing the authenticity in favour of the narrative. I can see your point in Power; You are right there are periods of silence that are absolutley painful to sit through where live action would really thrive with the nuances of the cast and direction. But for me; authenticity is what I look for in these stories. it sounds rediculous but the fact I had to internally justify buying powers animated episodes because I didnt agree that they'd animated it in 16:9 aspect ratio summises my feelings on the subject. I like the fact they keep it as close to the original transmitted episodes as possible. I dont mind very subtle liberties (I believe Bart simpsons head turns up on a wall in the invasion) but the moment they start directing and animating these episodes with the mind of a 21st century production is for me the time that they've lost my interest. I'd like the jump from live action to animation to be as seamless as possible and i realise this is a problem of my own construction. But Its just the way I feel...I couldnt get into the "Power" reimagined live action mini series that came out a few years ago for the same reason...they took too many liberties and kept too many similarities to a story that realistically is best enjoyed as a moody black and white atmos piece... TLDR; Good episode, I both agreed and disagreed with what you said. Looking forward to more of this fine fine stuff

omg thanks for the shoutout! *insert freaking out here*

I have an idea, how about we look back further the 2004 or 5 at the Polar Express and just basically just do the power of the Daleks episode all over again just with that type of animation because how the animation got done in the Polar Express it almost look like they actually use actors in the movie

It would be cool to see a live action version of The Infinite Quest.

I personally don't mind the animation from the power of the Daleks or the other missing episodes because the writing and acting is great that I can overlook it. Plus I grew up watching transformers Cybertron as a kid, which if you've seen that show, you know the animation is rather limited. Anyways, the animated power of the Daleks has at least allowed me to actually see this story that has been hyped up as one of the best and it definitely lived up to it.

As much as I am happy they animated this episode, I will NEVER forgive them for portraying Michael Craze as being THAT ugly.

My opinion Story 10/10 Animation 7/10 It can be clunky but the Daleks are really well animated, during episode 2 you start to get into it definitely worth a watch.

4:46 tz and I thought Stu liked Cardboard. Hypocrite!!!!

I really enjoyed the animation used for power. Also it reminded me of what the daleks should be: smart and ruthless

Phill Morris (missing episode hunter) has said he is close to recovering web of fear part 3. Also judging by what he has said at conventions we will get at lest another episode.

Yeah, I saw this in cinema when it was released...... The making of at the end was good I guess

Honestly they should animate so of the big finish audios. I would like to see spare parts, jubilee, and live 34 animated. Especially stories from the 6th and 8th doctor

TBH I don't really mind the way they've been reanimating old episodes. They really capture the eeriness of the era. If they were going to throw money into higher quality animation, I'd rather it was an original project. As you say, the tracks (and by association the story) aren't really made for animation, and while you could maybe rework them to fit better, writing and original script that takes full advantage of the medium would be preferable to me.

bloody KZfaq didn't show this in the subscription playlist

Also, just wondering, what are your thoughts on the Mondasian Cybermen returning? Personally I'm s***ing by pants in excitement.

So, Stu, what animation is your favorite and which is your least favorite? My favorite is the Moonbase because I think the character models look the best and it's one of the most active. Second favorite: Ian Levine's Mission to the Unknown. I really don't know why. I just think it was excellently done. Third favorite: The Ice Warriors. Simple but effective. I knew who everyone was and the motion was really good. The only problem was that it was a bit too 2-dimensional. Third to least favorite: The Tenth Planet. I don't really know why for this one. It was very similar to the Moonbase, but the whole thing just felt a little off to me, like the full effort wasn't being given. Second to least favorite: The Reign of Terror. I just don't think the story really worked as an animation and the head animations were really creepy. Least favorite: The Invasion. The character models are pretty bad and the animation is very jerky. It had some good atmosphere, but I don't think it did justice to my favorite classic story.

You got your wish, mate! 'The Macra Terror,' is coming!

My family went to a theatrical premier. I had seen the trailers for it, and told him that it wasn't really theatre worthy. He still complains about the cheesy cardboard animation.

The Ice Warriors animation is THE WORST

Maybe they could have a go at remaking a lost story or two, with new actors, etc. and rebroadcast it between series of the current Doctor.

I agree 100% The animation in this one has also got a few errors and is sometimes way too jerky. The Daleks and the actual story is what made this one worth it. I'd still love to see the original episodes recovered lol

They're NEVER going to give an unlimited budget to these things. To begin with, there's a limited audience for these things... They're keeping the budgets on these special releases down specifically to leave open the possibility for future projects that recreate more of the missing episodes of Doctor Who. IF they were to give these things a $20million or more budget (which WON'T happen!) AND the project(s) bombed badly, what would be the impetus to continue recreating Classic Doctor Who? That's right, even though it's Doctor Who there is STILL a limited audience for old television series done in the black-and-white days. I hate that mentality myself but the fact is you can't throw a Disney/Pixar film budget at these projects. As preferrable as well-down hand-drawn animation may be you can hardly convince anybody outside of Asia to fund these things unless they're modestly-budgeted TV series! For the money being paid out, it's going to continue to be limited animation, like it or not... I don't think most people have a clue how much FULL-animation costs (classic 1940s Disney-style) versus limited animation (most of what you see produced for TV). It's easily 3-4 times whatever most people think a "cheap" full-animation feature costs. Nowadays, I don't think you do an honest to goodness full-animation feature for less than $70 million and that's not even including the marketing budget! The story would STILL have to be kept modest. You add in Star Wars-type battles, dogfights, swordfights, it gets tremendously expensive ($130million-plus) SO unless you want to fund that kind of film yourself OR get into management of a film studio, feature-quality animation just isn't happening with a Doctor Who restoration project. Now, I agree, the look of the recreated episodes (in animation) is all over the place but how else it going to be unless they create model sheets everybody has to use and agree on one style? Not gonna happen with different production studios even if they DID have standard model sheets! You farm out these projects to different companies, they'll each have their own look.

I love this story. The animation is a bit clunky in parts but it doesn’t really bother me that much.

2 animations after this and fury is next!

I agree with virtually everything u said but the way people talk about the Ice Warriors I thought of it as far worse than the others then I saw and enjoyed it. I'd like to see Daleks Masterplan animated the most personally

Dalek master plan would be amazing

ohoho a new intro spicy

People don't like the animated versions? The invasion animation is great, atmospheric and organic to the rest of the story and hampered by the limits of 60's tv.

could you review death comes to time?

Awesome review!

I'd love to see Fury From the Deep re-animated, but only if you helped supervise the animation, or something where you have power (no pun intended) yet are not doing the animation yourself... also keep the aspect ratio the same as it would have been on tv because that was one of the things that bothered me about the serial

It's not great, no. Not a disaster (you're not saying that either), but the soundtrack and indeed the music stabs are amongst the most remarkable things here. What a script though, leaves the current ones..well running about shouting intentions in 50 miunutes i'd say.

By "taking the Daleks over seas" are you referring to the Peter Kushing movies?

man I'd love to see fury from the deep next

This is one creepy story.....

they could of got David to do the voice of his dad and the companions to reprise

I hate when people do this but any ETA on Doom Coalition 3 and when are you doing to do a video on "A Death in the Family" / Evelyn/Hexs/The Forge story arch

Is the 2020 version much better?

2:00 WOO!

also I dont think people understand that they dont make a profit from missing episode take 100 random Doctor Who fans and the chances are not a lot will care about classic who let alone 60s missing eps

1OO wow!now a dalek!

are you going to review the new doom coalition?

Authenticity versus stylized animation. Frankly, I always thought superheroes looked BETTER in animation than live-action. The high-end was definitely in the 1990s and early 2000s for those characters. Stylized animation for Classic Doctor Who? Hmm... That could work. It would still be limited animation but would get away from the constraints of expectations for live-action... Unfortunately, the general public will go for live-action or "realistic animation" (which is a contradiction IMHO) over stylized animation 3 out of 4 times. I don't know why it's programmed that way, it just is...

I totally agree with the whole post-regeneration sequence; there's just something terribly "off" about it. Since this is the opening, I think it will turn off a lot of people from actually delving into the story itself. Which is a shame because once it gets rolling the animation does get smoother and the Daleks do look quite good. But it is true - why do they keep contracting different companies for these? I still think that The Invasion, ironically the first experiment, had the best animation. Ben and Polly in PotD were so badly rendered (and the secondary characters not) that it was distracting. (and who thought that 1967 Anneke Wills could look bad?)

I CARE FOR THE SMUGGLERS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Ugh, the animation on the human characters and the doctor looks terrible to me. I'm starting to regret buying the DVD...

I don't know, I've always thought Fury works better as a recon than an animation just because of its aesthetics. It's such an atmospheric piece and about 80% is just standing around and talking, but the atmosphere and the fear and foreboding on the actors' faces is what really carries it through, and dark and foreboding is something that animations tend to be poorer at. The animations work the best for more action based and sci-fi heavy stories and are worst for slow stories and historicals, which is why I think the Reign of Terror animation is generally considered one of the worst animations (and because it was really creepy). There are only three serials from 60s Who that I just cannot see as an animation, or at least not as an animation at the quality they are at now, and those three are Fury from the Deep, The Edge of Destruction (which we thankfully have), and the Abominable Snowmen. These are all slower paced and are largely driven by dialogue. By comparison, the Moonbase and Mission to the Unknown, which are my favorite animations, are very active and fast paced. Just my opinion.

the animation in the re-created episodes are very clunky from time to time....I've always thought they should stick with whoever re-created the missing 10th planet episode because that was possibly the most well done animation out of the re-created episodes

I thought The Tenth Planet animation was really good

Aw, I thought you were going to use my intro. Rip.

I watched all the old reconstruktions and they are not that Bad .

I still havent see Power of the Daleks

What i find totally underwhelming, is that animation is not even better than the one for Scream of the Shlka, and that was 2003 and done for a webseries xD Sometimes i think its better to stick to the novelizations or audiobooks.

gg

I just can't watch these as the animation completely ruin the stories for me. Same with The 10th Planet
