It’s Hard To Imagine Doctor Who’s Space Babies Looking THAT Good Pre-Disney

Doctor Whohas a repute for a great many things , and not all of them are positive . Through the decades , the show has included some less - than - stellar practical and digital effects . Fortunately , Doctor Who ’s strong assumption has managed to hold the show through its weaker periodsof preserve the illusion . SinceDoctor Who ’s quite a little with Disney , the sequence the studio has facilitate the BBC to bring about have been of an exceptionally high criterion from a visual standpoint , and the CGI augmentation of the titular tiddler inDoctor Whoseason 14 , sequence 1 , " Space Babies , " is a shining instance of that .
The Space Babies genuinely look like they ’re talk in complete judgment of conviction , with the expert backtalk - synching help to complete the digital deception .
It ’s perhaps unconvincing thatDoctor Whowould have even seek anything quite so ambitious in the pre - Disney era , and if it did , it ’s even less potential it would have looked convincing .

Doctor Who’s Production Is A Massive Step Up (Even Compared To Whittaker’s Era)
Gatwa’s era already looks like one of the best
SinceDoctor Whobegan in 1963 , the show has looked well and well as it ’s endure on . In the modern era , the change are most big when a showrunner or lead role player is replaced . For example , Doctor Who ’s visuals experienced a pronounced improvement when Steven Moffat took over as showrunner in 2010 and cast Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor . Moffat also manage Capaldi ’s spell as the Doctor but stepped back whenChris Chibnall took the rein and brought in Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor in 2018 .

Whittaker ’s time as the Doctor set a very in high spirits bar forDoctor Who ’s ocular aesthetic , and yet Disney has somehow managed to surpass it .
