Doctor Who fans mourning the departure of David Tennant can get another dose with The Infinite Quest, an animated adventure that pits the Tenth Doctor against a space pirate in pursuit of a vessel that can make dreams come true. After halting the pirate Baltazar's scheme to compress the population of Earth into diamonds, Tennant's Doctor and companion Martha (voiced by Freema Agyeman) are caught up in a quest to find three datachips that will reveal the aforementioned ship, dubbed "The Infinite." Their search takes them across the universe, where they tangle with living skeletons, insect armies, and imprisonment on an ice planet before crossing paths again with Baltazar for control of "The Infinite." Well-voiced by Tennant, Agyeman, and Anthony Head (himself a Who vet, but forever Giles from Buffy), The Infinite Quest originally aired in serial form on the BBC children's series Totally Doctor Who, and it retains its kid-friendly balance of plentiful action and engaging (if not terribly complex) storyline; longtime Who fans that may want to use the feature as an introduction to the series for younger viewers will be pleased to note nods to the show's elaborate mythology, including name-drops of previous foes like the Nestenes and Great Vampires. One wishes the animation was more fluid, as that may make Quest more palatable to first-time Who viewers raised on Disney and Pixar, but the fanciful story, plethora of exotic creatures, and Tennant's fun performance should hold most attention spans. The DVD includes a battery of extras, most of which follow Tennant and friends as they record their lines; a smattering of unfinished deleted scenes and chats with the animators will probably hold interest only for grown-ups. --Paul Gaita

- Awesome Movie!
Myself and my 10 year old daughter are obsessed with Doctor Who. I was so thrilled to see a animated movie was made, with out favorite Doctor's (David Tennant) voice talent.
It was a good movie .. decent animation, and typical Martha/Doctor banter! We loved it!

- An entertaining watch, but a bit thin
The story was entertaining but the plot was kinda weak.It definately seemed geared more towards children than true fans of Dr. Who.My Children love this video by the way.It runs like a Doctor Who version of 'Treasure Planet,' only not as good.There is very limited intracate thinking like you see in the shows.
I certianly hope that the makers of Doctor Who continue to try this media, but come at it with the adult viewer in mind.

- Good intro to Doctor Who for kids
If you're desperate for Doctor Who (and I usually am), you might be tempted to purchase this DVD. While it's fun to see the Doctor (voiced by David Tennant) and Martha (voiced by Freema Agyeman) again, this DVD, with its short, episodic style, will have more appeal for young children (the intended audience) than for adult viewers. One draw is Anthony Head as Baltazar, the villain of the piece.
It begins like the usual Doctor Who episodes with the teaser, followed by the credits. At ... Read More
