Doctor Who GETS ANIMATED HYUK HYUK HYUK

Yeah, I know there have been Doctor Who cartoons in the past, but this one appears to be CG, and the British newspapers at least are very excited. From the Sun:
The six-part cartoon series, Dreamland, will see David Tennant, 38, voicing a
cartoon Doctor as he visits notorious alien crash site Roswell.The story, penned by Torchwood writer Phil Ford, will see the time traveller
discovering a mysterious alien artefact at a US diner and attempting a
rescue from the American military.Joining him on his adventure will be assistant Cassie Rice, played by Georgia
Moffett – David Tennant’s off-screen girlfriend. …Dreamland will be premiered as six seven-minute episodes via the BBC Red
Button and the Doctor Who website. It will then return as a single show on CBBC and BBC2 in the autumn.
I don’t really have any major thoughts on this; I just wanted to show you the new ‘tooned-up Tennant. Also, FYI, I’ve begun watching the new gen Doctor Who episodes with Eccleston, so maybe I won’t be such an imbecile when reporting future Who developments. So far, all I know for sure is that Eccleston’s Doctor is a very cheerful lunatic, and the Slitheen are fucking horrible. More to come, I’m sure.
