If you’re a Whovian and want to introduce your tiny children to Doctor Who, you’re about to be in luck. A new Doctor Who animated series is coming to the BBC’s pre-school channel CBeebies. This channel meant for those who are six years old and under, will soon welcome the Doctor with open arms. We wonder which Doctor exactly will be portrayed in this animated series, or whether it will be a whole new Doctor Who altogether. We guess we’ll find out as more news about this Doctor Who animated series for babies reveals itself. But we can say for sure, the animated Tardis is going to be ADORABLE.
The BBC shared, via Deadline, that the animated Doctor Who show, “will see the Doctor traveling through time and space for the pre-school audience, solving mysteries and problems alongside their companions and other friends. And, of course, they may come up against one or two challenges on their way.”
Patricia Hidalgo, Director of Children’s and Education, shared that this animated Doctor Who chapter is an exciting brand evolution: “Everyone is welcome at CBeebies, including the Doctor. This much-loved franchise entertains millions around the world, so it is only right that our younger audience get to experience the wonder and the magic of the Doctor in a brand new format. This is an extremely exciting opportunity, and we are looking forward to welcoming companies to pitch for this new project, as we continue our commitment and investment in the UK’s animation industry.”
We do love a fandom for all ages. It feels incredibly delightful that Whovians will now have the ability to show the series to their young ones because of this Doctor Who animated series. Baby Whovians are on the way.
For now, in the adult world of Doctor Who, Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor recently regenerated and exited the series, leaving behind Billie Piper, who formerly played the Doctor’s companion Rose Tyler. Very mysterious. We’ll miss Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor, but maybe we can see an animated version of him running around in the children’s series. There’s no word yet on when the show will release.
