This Review is simply reviewing the Animation rather than the Story, if you are interested to hear I thought about the Story itself, please check out my Review of the Original Variation! I think the Animation is pretty good and does some great Changes, I am not always sold on some creative Liberty Changes that some Animations do, *Fury from the Deep* comes to Mind, but for this one? It works wonderfully! Especially the Place where the Elders live is greatly enhanced here, which adds more to the Story. The Highlight here is easily the superb Character Animation, their Movement is so smooth and never feel off-putting. The Likenesses as well are very good, especially the one from Jackie Lane's Dodo! Hartnell looks a bit 'off' but getting his Likeness right in Animation is a tricky one, which I think only early Animations such as *The Tenth Planet* pulled off the best. I do wish we had some more Lightning like Release such as Evil had, but still all in all, I am very pleased to report that this is a very good Animation of the Story!
