Editorial Review: Product Description: Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 11/18/2008 Rating: Nr Amazon.com: Doctor Who fans mourning the departure of David Tennant can get another dose with The Infinite Quest, an animated adventure that pits the Tenth Doctor against a space pirate in pursuit of a vessel that can make dreams come true. After halting the pirate Baltazar's scheme to compress the population of Earth into diamonds, Tennant's Doctor and companion Martha (voiced by Freema Agyeman) are caught up in a quest to find three datachips that will reveal the aforementioned ship, dubbed "The Infinite." Their search takes them across the universe, where they tangle with living skeletons, insect armies, and imprisonment on an ice planet before crossing paths again with Baltazar for control of "The Infinite." Well-voiced by Tennant, Agyeman, and Anthony Head (himself a Who vet, but forever Giles from Buffy), The Infinite Quest originally aired in serial form on the BBC children's series Totally Doctor Who, and it retains its kid-friendly balance of plentiful action and engaging (if not terribly complex) storyline; longtime Who fans that may want to use the feature as an introduction to the series for younger viewers will be pleased to note nods to the show's elaborate mythology, including name-drops of previous foes like the Nestenes and Great Vampires. One wishes the animation was more fluid, as that may make Quest more palatable to first-time Who viewers raised on Disney and Pixar, but the fanciful story, plethora of exotic creatures, and Tennant's fun performance should hold most attention spans. The DVD includes a battery of extras, most of which follow Tennant and friends as they record their lines; a smattering of unfinished deleted scenes and chats with the animators will probably hold interest only for grown-ups. --Paul Gaita Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - An interesting diversion for hardcore fansAs an American fan of Doctor Who, I knew nothing about this animated version until this DVD was released in the U.S. But I was intrigued by the very idea of an animated Doctor Who, and it's VERY inexpensive compared to the full-season sets, so I decided to give it a try. As others have said, the overall feel of the show is that it is aimed at younger viewers (ironically, the BBC apparently considers the live-action WHO a kid's program, and everyone I know who watches it is over 30). ... Read More Rating: - Family FunThis is a great movie if you love the show. Dr. Who is a whole lotta froth in the first place. C'mon, who stops evil doers with a sonic screw driver? Good grief, some of the reviews are asinine. Snobbery over a cartoon show is ridiculous. This isn't Final Fantasy Advent Children. It's Doctor Who. It's family fun. It's great. Still have to listen hard to understand through the accents, but if you like the show, you should like the cartoon. We enjoyed it a great deal. Rating: - Ho HumI can imagine where this would have been a good idea back in 1978. Back when Tom Baker was the Doctor and the show was very set-bound and claustrophobic, an animated adventure would have permitted epic landscapes and casts of thousands which would have been beyond the scope of the live-action series. But now, when cinematic production values can be had for relatively modest budgets, I watch this adventure, and my reaction is to shrug. This piece is up to the par of mini-episodes which ... Read More Rating: - No Animation HereAs A lifelong fan of the Doctor and a big fan of this style of animation in other works such as the animated reconstruction of "Doctor Who - The Invasion" I have to say "The Infinite Quest" was a letdown. Sure it's neat to have the Doctor and Martha in another adventure, and the art is outstanding, but were it came up lacking was the vocal acting. With less movement and expression in this art-form it is required that the actors make up for the lack of there real life facial expressions with the vocal ... Read More Rating: - Good little episodeThis is one of the good small adventures fit for both adults and kids. It's similar to the key to time adventure. A must have for Doctor Who fans. I love the animation and I enjoyed that they animated the title sequence. I'm happy that the same actors came back to do the voices and Anthony Head makes a brilliant villain.
