It was standard procedure . <| sep |> It ' s a catch 22 really . I loved the story and focused mostly on that if honest . I felt the animation was functional enough for the story and most likely appropriate for what was possible back in the 60 ' s when the series was made . So from a retro feel point of view . I felt it worked . All that said . Yes they most likely could have done more with the animation and done it better . The question is would it have served the story any better to have done so . So I ' m kind of on the fence when it comes to the animation . I ' m hoping that this one sells well enough and proved popular enough for them to animate more of the missing episodes . I ' d love to see ' Dalek Master Plan ' get this treatment next . I mean the first ' Doctor Who ' story in which one of the Doctor ' s companions dies would be a natural choice for animated . They have the whole soundtrack of it and production stills . So lets see that one next .
