About This Movie

Doctor Who: Shada is an intriguing blend of animation and classic Who vibes, directed by Charles Norton. Set in Cambridge during the late '70s, it feels both nostalgic and fresh. The story dives into Time Lord lore, with the character of Skagra bringing a menacing presence that keeps the tension alive. The pacing is a bit uneven, fitting for the vintage Doctor Who style, but that adds to its charm. The practical effects give it a unique texture, contrasting with the modern CGI we often see. The voice performances really capture the essence of the characters, especially the Doctor and his friend Chronotis. Overall, it's a fascinating piece of Who history, even if it does feel unfinished.
