Tenth Planet Episode 4 will be animated for DVD - Page 2

Glad to hear that they're doing this! (Though I kinda hope the VHS recon is on there too.) I had a feeling that this would be the one to get the animation treatment before any other stories, and "The Reign of Terror" being animated certainly helped bolster that hope.

I was hoping that the tenth planet comes out on dvd sometime,wonder how they will handled the regeneration?.

Put the existing clips on as extras, and do it as animation like the rest of the episode 4 reconstruction. Just possibly have a seamless branching option so you can have the animated version slip into live action for the few bits of footage that exist.

Excellent!

Ooh, I don't care for the Flash animation style they're using. They had something similar in the animated reconstructions I have seen ("The Invasion"), but there wasn't as much motion in those and thus the visually annoying aspects of Flash animation were more downplayed (in fact, it kind of reminded me of Filmation's limited-animation style from shows like the animated Star Trek). I did like the Troughtonesque eye roll at the end, though.

The best way of disproving a rumor! I love it!

YES!

Fantastic! I guess Reign of Terror's numbers were good enough after all. (Or someone at the BBC is being extra generous to the anniversary DVDs since Moffatt seems to be all tied up right now.)

These animations would have been in the works before sales figures for "The Reign of Terror" were available. What's more likely to hinge on those figures is animation for the mostly-already-released stories that are 50% complete: "The Crusade," "The Moonbase," maybe "The Underwater Menace."

A preview clip has been released. Guess which scene it is.

Christopher · March 6 2013, 09:41 PM

Wow, I hope the whole thing looks that good. The "Ice Warriors" clip they showed looked like the cheap Flash animation they have on some Adult Swim cartoons, but this had more of an anime flavor. But since this was a recreation of footage that actually does exist, it might be more fluid and detailed than the rest.

Excellent!

Fingers crossed for animated Dalek Master Plan.

The regeneration sequence was great - never seen it in context though, just the actual regeneration fade we've seen in other media. I just wonder why they couldn't just use that one? Or was that just so ridiculously washed out that it would be pointless?

And did I miss something, or were Ben and Polly locked outside one instant, and inside the next? 1960s editing?
