Colin taking his hair off and being Sylvester is a nice deep cut gag. If you know, you know.

Holy hell this is fantastic!! The details and in-jokes…Ten being split into all three David Tennant Doctors; Smith’s crack in reality becoming Capaldi’s eyebrows; Whittaker seeing the Fugitive Doctor in the mirror; Bad Wolf; Eccleston jumping through the panel becoming Ten jumping through the mirror from “Girl in the Fireplace”; Heather’s star-eye; McGann’s hair change; Sylvester’s wig…brilliant stuff. A true celebration of Doctor Who in all its forms. Thanks for this.

This is what YouTube was made for. Not unskippable ads, not watching people watching stuff, not videos pandering to the algorithm for monetary gain. Just clever, talented people being creative. Brilliant work. Shared, liked and subbed.

Colin taking off the wig was genius, oh my god!!

It is rare to see such a thorough tribute to such an expansive fandom. Everyone is celebrated here. Nobody is minimized or treated as "lesser" canon. Everyone has their time to shine, and their moment is personalized to their era of the show. When I think of Star Trek, the first thing that comes to mine is "Kirk vs. Picard." When I think of James Bond, it's "does Roger Moore even count?" But in the Doctor Who fandom, every regeneration is important. Whether that iteration had 7 series, or only appeared in a single special. They all matter. Every one of them matters.

That's not a parody, that's bloody brilliant!

[lbricks]

I just want to appreciate your inclusion of the poster for the 1st Peter Cushing Dr. Who movie, good eye and artistic skill!

The wig reference between 6 and 7 was genius!

[TBowenMedia]

This was beautifully done. The Dalek exterminating the Tenth Doctor causing him to split into Meta-Crisis and Fourteen was a genius way to include all the Doctors. Keep up the great work.

[KickAsphaltDS]

Patrick Troughton was fantastic, captured the face and mannerisms so perfectly

[FyreandYce]

David Tennant is my favorite, but I do absolutely love that you included Jodie Whitaker❤
I am one of the minority that did enjoy seeing her as the doctor. Jodie did her best with what she was given, and looked like she had fun doing it at least😊

My hat off to you sir/madam, for animating this frame-by-frame just as the original Take On Me video was.

[jitmancanth]

Resolved... to watch this video every time I turn my computer on, before getting on with the rest of my day. How to make the world a better place in five minute...

[timrob]

What a great tribute to Doctor Who. Some really clever transitions like Colin taking off his wig to become Sylvester and Capaldi in Davros' chair morphing into Whittaker being imprisoned in the Dalek casing. Also loved that Ten met Fourteen.

[michaeloneill]

FANTASTIC! This is so well done. There's some great transitions here, my personal favorite was probably the crack in time morphing into Peter Capaldi with his attack eyebrows.

3:53 Easter Egg here some may not know.

A113 is a number to have appeared in several (and apparently all) of Disney Pixar's animated movies as Easter Eggs. It's a refference to the classroom number that many of the animators studied in.

An amazing detail considering this video is full of Doctor Who nods and winks, and then you have a Disney Pixar one thrown in there as well.

[jamescallans]

This is Gen X approved. Love everything about this, so well done. Great song and best hero in all of time and space.👍👍

In the words of The Thirteenth Doctor: “Oh, Brilliant!”

The seamless transition between Doctors made for a truly cinematic experience. This was definitely a love letter to Doctor Who fans everywhere. Excellent job! An animated tour de force that leaves quite the positive impression!!

To end this comment, as The Ninth Doctor would say, “Fantastic!”

[momokomiyafuji]

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. I can't stop smiling although my throat is tightened holding back tears of nostalgia. This was so well done. The transitions and the subtle nods to each era...chef's kiss. Which Doctor is my favorite Doctor? Every single one of them.

A wonderful tribute to the Dr & Daleks. The dizzy Dalek scene was a LOT of fun to watch, as were the many flourishes - from the scarf unravelling, tripping up the SW Dalek, Curator console room and fending off Dalek beams with a brolly! What a wonderful mashup that perfectly captures the craziness of this series in a very unique way. Thank you!
