Interesting effort - hard to judge by only five minutes, which is devoted mainly to setting it up.

The animation is basically what's called "motion comics", in which static comics are manipulated to impart motion - which is even less-realistic looking than the cheapest Saturday morning half-hour toy ads disguised as entertainment for kids.

Judging by the comments on YouTube, some people - mostly the rabid fanboy (girl) types - haven't figured out that the action is taking place in two different times as well as two different places: the Cardiff segments are set in 2007, the L.A. segments are set in present time, after Miracle Day.

Since 1963, the BBC's flagship sci-fi series has explored time, space, and ethics through a regenerating alien protagonist. Its longevity—spanning classic and revival eras, spinoffs, and animated reconstructions—makes it television's most enduring science-fiction institution.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.
