Talk:The 'New' Doctor Who – An Animated Series

What was the timeline for this?
Some of these things I wouldn't even need to ask about if I had a copy of The Nth Doctor or had working sound on my computer. The Hidden Planet (scroll to the bottom) says that BBC and Nelvana were in talks in the "early 90s, whilst the BBC were in negotiation with David Segal and CBS". Wikipedia says on the Nelvana page this happened "at one point" (fantastic!) citing The Nth Doctor p. 9 as the source. That same exact source is cited in the AllExperts page on Nelvana for talks occurring in 1986. The Doctor Who page on Wikipedia says the 1980s, but sourcing makes it unclear whether they are citing that p. 9 or part 6 of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation website's documentary The Planet of the Doctor.

Canadian animator Rich Morris (creator of the fan comic The Ten Doctors) wrote:
 * Yeah, actually, I had just graduated from Sheridan college in Classical Animation when it was being proposed. When I heard I got pretty excited and started putting my portfolio tegether, but when I saw the designs and read the storyboards, I was quite miffed. I still have copies of the designs somewhere.

Rich Morris graduated in 1992 according to his portfolio but he never corrects anyone else when they said Nelvana was working on this in the 80s.

Morris also says of it:
 * The proposed Nelvana cartoon was about the Doctor being a blib in a computer matrix who travelled around from virtual world to virtual world.
