It's been a while since I've reviewed one of the lost stories, but here we go, with what I believe is one of the best stories in the Lost Season of 27: Animal. Spoilers will be present for this story.

I am sad to say that this story didn't live up to my expectations. After the wonderful story that was Thin Ice, I was expecting a lot out of this story. Sadly, it didn't deliver.
This'll probably be a relatively brief review.
Like that last paragraph. Anyways, the best thing about this story is that you get to hear Matt Smith as the Doctor again. He does a really good job with Amy's voice, capturing the Scottish aspect of it well. That's pretty much the only good thing I have to say about this story. It's not that this is a terrible story, it's just not the most captivating. I eventually got to the point where I stopped fully paying attention because the plot just wasn't interesting the entire time. From what I understood, there were mannequins that came alive, much like Autons, though even this I got from reading a summary online. I do wish that this story had gotten better, especially since it's one of the few expanded media stories that Matt Smith has recorded. Granted, it has been a bit over a week since I listened to this story, but the fact that I remember barely anything about it, besides liking the character of Shijo is a testament to the story and its quality. That's really all I have to say about the story. I enjoyed The Forever Trap, another story in the same series, much more, though I wish that this first story with Matt Smith that I listened to had been better. This is it. I might actually like semi-historicals now, something I never thought I'd hear myself say. But between this and some of the other stories I've been listening to lately, I've realized all of the advantages of the format and the incredible stories they can tell.
