Doctor Who Missing Episode Animation Predictions

It could happen. If someone stopped flapping about the budget and started looking at how animation cells could be reused for multiple episodes, it'd become a lot more realistic... I mean Daleks 'move' - you don't need to reinvent that if you've got the main angles covered... Also, jungle is jungle and sand is sand, and half of the alien league don't even have faces, so it's not like it is costing £5 every time the Doctor raised an eyebrow. All those things can be recycled... AND the UCLAN live action MTTU is perfect, no need for any animation there.

[@MichaelHickerson]

Another KZbinr pointed out that he found the Shada animation more effective because they recorded the audio to go with the animation -- and that it flowed better. I will admit I kind of agree. IT's hard to animate based on the original soundtrack and the visual documentation we have for each missing serial. I still want to see them animated, but I do think tightening up the stories for animation isn't necessarily a terrible thing.

[@ashleytuchin7693]

I can just imagine the day after the final lost story is animated, some guy is just going to wander into the BBC with a trunk full of complete, original, pristine copies of each and every one of those stories.

Once they've done all of the missing stories, they could then animate Paradise of Death, Ghosts of N-Space or any of the 8th Doctor audios. Would be fantastic to finally have more 8th Doctor DVDs on the shelf other than just the TV Movie.

[@owenwildish331]

I hope they do 'Slipback' as an animation especially if they extend it by giving that story some extra scenes.

[@VitasVarnas]

Slipback and Pescatons. They could also update the animation for Real Time and Death Comes to Time.

[@dommoore6180]

honestly, it will never, ever, happen, *but*, if they were going to animate anything that isn't a missing episode I'd want them to start with the VNAs, just do the big plot relevant ones and the better liked ones, some already have audio recordings, and just finish the 7th Doctor era. Then do the 8th Doctor era, and we have a "complete" set.

[@VitasVarnas]

@@dommoore6180 VNAs would be fantastic too, but of course not all of them have been adapted for audio yet. Plus with how recent the VNA audio adaptations were it'd seem less likely right now.

[@dommoore6180]

@@VitasVarnas oh it will literally never, ever happen. The current brand wants to distance itself from that entire era of the series, it's been around a decade since McCoy's era was correctly labelled (it went from the accurate 1987-1996, then to 1987-89, 1996, and nowadays it's just 1987-89) and most of the modern series fans have little to no interest in the era either. In fact only yesterday I was on Reddit explaining to someone that just because DW was cancelled in 1989 that didn't mean the era was bad and in fact the show had been cancelled before season 24 had even aired in any case. They weren't having any of it. The modern fanbase seems mostly invested in 9-12 with a superficial sense of approval given to Doctors 1-5 and a like for 8 despite only focusing on his post-era content as opposed to the stories of the actual 8th Doctor era.

It's good to see animations come to light they do a great job but my prediction for 2023 my hope is these 6 missing episodes that Philip Morris mentioned that are in private hands will come to light. I'm hoping for the season Blu Ray release they will release the Hartnell and Troughtons seasons last just so they can give them enough time to recover as many missing material as they can it probaly won't happen it will probaly be just animations but I'm hoping will get some recoveries of the original episodes throughout those years.

[@JAProductions494]

[@Maxwell-237]

Couldn't agree more with your point about these not being history books. It's like how every Shakespeare has been re-interpretted, re-imagined and re-analysed a million times so we end up with these incredibly rich works; contributed to by millions. The Doctor Who novelisations sometimes hit on this opportunity, whereas the animations almost never do. Personally I'm much more interested in building a better tomorrow, than in preserving the past. BBC please open up the world of Doctor Who to re-imaginings

[@DoctorWhoAdventures]

Awesome predictions!!! It would be great to see a first doctor animation some time soon for sure!!!!! :D

[@theoutcastboi]

I dunno if both Galaxy 4 and the Abominable Snowmen will be out this year, I think one of them will probably end up coming out start of 2022. I reckon Marco Polo will likely come in some form in 2023, seems an obvious choice to recreate the earliest missing DW story for the 60th. Could be wrong, might end up coming out in 2024 for it's 60th, but I think that it's coming sometime around then. As for the rest of the animations, in terms of the 2nd Doctor, I think they'll jump around a bit. Possibly they do both Highlanders and Wheel together because they're both 2nd Doctor companion introductions, though I think they'll save Wheel for last, doing the Space Pirates and the rest of the 2nd Doctor tales before the Highlanders and Wheel, so they'll probably be 2026 or something, idk. I think they'll release the 1st Doctor's missing episodes in order (outside DMP, Marco Polo and the Crusaders), so probably the Myth Makers, the Massacre, the Celestial Toymaker and the Savages, finishing with Dalek's Masterplan as the finale to the whole Missing Episode animations thing. Of course, this is just my speculation, and definitely things won't be like this (I mean, I expected them to finish the 2nd Doctor's missing episodes before moving on to doing the 1st Doctor, but Galaxy 4 is happening). There's still hope for the original TV episodes being found down the back of a shelf in TV centre or something, resulting in not needing an animation or whatever for the Crusaders or something. Who knows? That being said, whilst it's far of, once this whole saga is complete in 5-8 years, I fully expect they'll move on to animating original tales with the 4th-8th Doctors, which is a very exciting prospect for me.

[@JamifyYT]

I kinda hope after animating all the stories they colourise the first 2 drs. They would make bank from it

[@rhysh7390]

One thing I will say about a potential Daleks' Master Plan. I hope they really go all-out with the animation. The death sequence of Sara Kingdom needs to be done justice. To reduce the cost a little, they could even release it as an eleven part story. Forget The Feast of Steven ever existed at all.

[@darynvoss7883]

I love the new Silver Menace look.

[@D4dodge]

Thank's Josh, love your Dr Who content

[@SJ9001]

"The Daleks' Master Plan" will happen at some point, I wager. Not soon, but eventually. It's the final Dalek story yet to exist in some kind of complete form - afterwards, they could release the ultimate Dalek boxset - and it's length alone may be enough to get a lot of people interested. Arguably, it's the missing story with the highest demand. "Mission to the Unknown" would definitely come part and parcel with that as well. They'd also newly animate it so it's in a full uniform style with "Master Plan", considering the recent releases also animate the existing episodes for the same reason, but the UCLAN production would likely also be included among the features. "The Wheel in Space" too, and it's more likely to happen much earlier. We'd then have the complete Cyberman library and you've got yourself another opportunity for a good boxset. "The Myth Makers" is one I can potentially see happening if "Master Plan" happens, since the latter opens up in the immediate aftermath of the former and bridges the gap after "Mission". It would answer the inevitable 'Who's Katarina?' question for general audiences. (Incidentally, I always found the music from that story amusing because it sounds straight out of Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy.) "The Crusade" long struck me as an obvious one. Only 2 of 4 parts are missing, so it seemed like one of the '2-episode-minimum' type of missing story the earliest reconstruction efforts focused on. Probably not in high demand, but it's the only affected serial of Season 2, so it'd open the door for yet another, seasonal, boxset release.

[@elyas9016]

My favourite one to be animated would be Daleks' Master Plan and my least favourite would probably be Space Pirates

I loved this! I was watching this at 7am and had so much not laughing and waking up my roommate 🤣🤣🤣 And yes, even though Troughton is my favorite Doctor, Hartnell needs more animation love!!! I suspect part of the "problem" is that they already have the assets and character rigging for Troughton and his companions, so there's less initial pre-production needed for future Troughton stories.

[@stonebaxter]

How much would it actually cost to animate an entire season of Hartnell episodes?
