Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
A CGI animated doctor who story, featuring David Tennant voicing the tenth doctor. This was originally presented in short episodes on the bbc red button but on dvd it's been edited into one long one of 44 mins approx.
Thus it does move at a fair old pace, particularly early on.
The story sees the Doctor visiting the nevada desert in the 1950's, and chancing on an alien artefact in a diner. The US military and a few aliens would both like to get their hands on it. Thus the Doctor and the lady who runs the diner plus an indian friend of hers are caught up in the middle of things.
A pretty standard doctor who plot follows, but it does keep moving nicely thanks to the pace of the thing so it's enough to hold your attention. The human villain turns out to be well characterised and the voice of the alien leader is nicely done thanks to some electronic treatment.
Actress georgia moffett does a good american accent as the diner owner but she and the indian guy are rather underused, spending most of the time trailing along after the doctor.
The animation is very colourful and eye catching, although the figures don't sometimes go that well with the background. And they run like puppets from a gerry anderson show. But apart from that it's pretty good.
The disc has subtitles in english and the only language track is in english.
Also in with this on a second disc are three documentaries recently shown on bbc4 called doctor who's greatest moments. Running a little over 50 minutes each they take clips from the new series and have the actors discuss them in typical tv documentary talking heads fashion. They deal with the doctor, the companions and the enemies respectively. The talk on the first two can be pretty interesting at times but there's nothing in them you won't have seen before.
But all in all this is one more tenth doctor story and it's not desperately expensive, so it's worth a look.

Format:DVD
Atmospheric and colourful animation that broadens the Doctor Who universe and which provides further proof of the boundless scope and imagination of the show. It did seem shorter than I had imagined, but it was the right length for my 5 year old daughter to enjoy without losing her attention. The alien creatures are fantastic - even SFXperts 'The Mill' would be hard pushed to produce such brilliance in this magnitude - and David Tennant's Time Lord is has the same 'ants in his pants' irrepressible energy as in the parent show. It would be good to see more of these with the involvement of Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor; we'll just have to wait in hopeful anticipation...

This is an interesting take on the famous doctor stories but the quality of the animation is a bit of a let down.

AS far as Doctor Who goes, this cartoon was worth seeing. Plus it was a necessary purchase to complete my set. Jolly Good.

Surprisingly good
First, theDVD comes with another disc called Doctor Who's Greatest Moments, the only unfortunate thing is it has no Classic Who in it. Read more

Acceptable, but lacklustre compared to The Infinite Quest
2009 was obviously a crucial year for Doctor Who...because we knew that would be David Tennant's final year as the beloved Time Lord before handing the role over to Matt Smith. Read more

Disappointing visual but the story is ok
I am not unfair. It doesn't have to be an artwork of Picar's finest. But this animation was edgy and sometimes seemed to skip a frame. Read more

Not HD!
This was made and transmitted in HD so why is it not released on Blu-Ray? Expect similar with SJA series 3.
