Product Description

Boldly continuing where Star Trek: The Original Series left off, these animated adventures chart the progress of Captain Kirk and his crew in a universe unconstrained by "real-life" cinematography! With all characters voiced by their original actors, join Kirk, Spock, Bones and the crew for 22 new adventures: to boldly go where no animation has gone before!

Amazon.com

Star Trek: The Animated Series is often referred to as Star Trek's "fourth season" because it was created in 1973, four years after the third and final season of the original series, and because most of the original cast provided the voices. William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, Nichelle Nichols, George Takei, and Majel Barrett reprised their characters, and some contributed other voices as well. The only major omission was Walter Koenig's Chekov, who was replaced at the navigation console by Lieutenant Arex, the three-armed alien who most prominently represented the series' freedom to create non-humanoid characters. (Koenig did write an episode.) And while the animation is crude at best, the stories are solid sci-fi (penned by some of Star Trek's veteran writers including DC Fontana and David Gerrold, all of whom received prominent opening credits), explored the Star Trek mythos, and elevated the series above typical Saturday-morning fare. For example, "Yesteryear" goes back to Spock's early years on Vulcan, continuing some explorations from the original series' "Journey to Babel," and offers the familiar voice of Mark Lenard as Sarek. "One of Our Planets Is Missing" raises some interesting philosophical questions about the value of life, and "More Tribbles, More Troubles" and "Mudd's Passion" revisit favorite characters. Star Trek: The Animated Series lasted just barely over one season, but it won the franchise's only Emmy (for Outstanding Entertainment Children's Series in 1975) and some of its ideas were embraced by future series. Trekkers who know it only by reputation will find it a valuable part of the Star Trek canon. In addition to the series' 22 half-hour episodes, the DVD set includes "Drawn to the Final Frontier: The Making of Star Trek: The Animated Series," a 24-minute featurette including interviews with the producers and writers (but not actors) on how the series was created and why it still holds up; "What's the Star Trek Connection?", a glossary of characters and themes common to the animated series and other series; a storyboard gallery; and a brief text history. Writer David Gerrold and producer David Wise contribute audio commentaries on three and one episode, respectively, and the ever-reliable Michael Okuda and Denise Okuda provide text commentary on three other episodes. --David Horiuchi

Too often forgotten, too important to miss!

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2016

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

This was actually the very first Star Trek I ever saw (or knew to exist) when I was a child in the early 1970's. This Emmy Award-winning Saturday morning cartoon introduced me to Star Trek and I was so excited when, shortly thereafter, I realized that there was also a live action show "with real people from the cartoon!" I was hooked from my earliest years and I've been Treking ever sense. If you haven't seen The Animated Series, you have missed out on a historically important, vastly underrated and too often forgotten part of the Star Trek saga. If you think we only got three years out of the five year mission, you're wrong--the final two years of it is right here. And it is not you're typical Saturday morning fare. It is actually Star Trek--with all the drama and depth of the original series, written and produced by the original series team, and voiced by the original series cast. It also features several sequels to TOS episodes--and they are actually good! Furthermore, much of the animation is quite stunning. These days, Filmmation (which produced the series) is often made fun of for the cost cutting "stiffness" of their animation, but I think that's unfair. Maybe the characters movements are a bit stiff (they were on a budget), but look at the amount of detail they put into their settings, backgrounds and matte paintings. Some are true works of art--and the slow Enterprise flybys look as detailed and beautiful as the live action version. If your assumption is that TAS would be too cheesy, it's a cartoon, etc., you are missing out on a rich experience. By the way, there are a number of Trek elements first introduced in The Animated Series which have since found their way into the mainstream canon of modern Trek through homage and even direct reference--especially in "Deep Space Nine," "Star Trek: Enterprise," and "Star Trek (2009)." TAS also introduced the holodeck aboard the Enterprise over fifteen years before "Star Trek: The Next Generation." Furthermore, the critically acclaimed episode "Yesteryear" detailing a traumatic event in Spock's childhood is widely considered not just TAS's most important episode, but among the most important canonical episodes of the Star Trek franchise. Also of note, TAS characters such as M'Ress and Arex have often appeared Star Trek novels and comic books, and the Orion slave girl, Devna, introduced in "The Time Trap" is now a major character in the "Star Trek: Enterprise" relaunch novels--and her story arc in the novels is anything but cartoony.

Gotta Love It (cartoon, not packaging)

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2018

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

This was just a random purchase for me. I am a fan of Star Trek and probably got a recommendation for it due to a recent purchase of Enterprise and having Discovery pre-ordered at the time. While I'm not a full blown Trekkie I am definitely glad to add this to my near complete Star Trek collection (just lacking a Blu-Ray release of DS9 and Voyager that i'm happy with.

Also glad that I cheaped out and went with the 2006 DVD set instead of the 2016 Blu-Ray set after reading some of the reviews of audio issues. My biggest issue so far is the very "odd" packaging that was chosen for the collection, I'm sure other reviewers have posted pictures of it (so I won't) but the set is just weird. Don't care for how the case opens at the top instead of the side, it definitely seems less likely to take a bump should it be dropped and dump the DVDs than if the set latched on the side where there would have been more room to put a secure closure.

Considering this show aired originally in the early 70s the animation is cheesy but is actually quite good compared to the stuff I remember from my childhood in the early/mid 80s. The shots of the Enterprise could probably hold up quite well when compared to many modern computer graphics, somebody definitely put some love and time into the ship...

A must have series for true Trekkers.

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2018

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Don’t let the fact that this old Funimation produced animated Saturday morning serial of the original Star Trek characters that was made for kids fool you. The stories supplied and detailed in little half hour sketches were never for the kids but for the same adults who made The Original Series such a hit. What appealed to the little ones, like myself at that time, were the mysterious monsters, the aliens filling out the enterprise crew, and others like winged-eagle people that would show up from time to time. Watching this series again as an adult I marveled at how the stories to a one kept up with the standards of the TV show and know for a fact that I didn’t come close to “getting” or understanding them when I was little. They were way over my head. The original cast voices their characters; you can jump on at any point; there’s some beautiful animation that’s managed on a stiff budget; the Star Trek musical themes always pull you right in; the stories continue to be true to the character’s from TOS—all of these points make this a must have series for the true Trekkie and continue to make it eminently enjoyable in spite of its limitations. The packaging may frustrate some but may delight others as it comes in a hard plastic oversized case that flips open like a communicator. There is a slip case over the four disc set with each disc sitting in a plastic flip-tray and there’s a booklet that reviews the history of this series. The extras are must watches too.

The Crew Of The Starship Enterprise Are Still Boldly Going Where No Man As Gone Before In The Animated Series. When The original series went of The air The Demand for more Star Trek Thanks To The loyal fans was still very much alive in Trek fandom. when makers of children's Saturday morning animation shows hit up on The idea of bringing Star Trek To animation. The series would still remain faithful To The original series and providing The voices for The animated counterparts was non other Than William Shatner Leonard Nimoy and The rest of The original crew from The original series was The masterstroke.

I had the most vague memory of an animated Star Trek as a kid, I seemed to remember 1 or 2 things as a child but I was so young I thought I may have imagined it.
Nope, it was real, found it on google then of course here.
Loving it. Real blast from the past and with the original voices it is just brilliant. Not sure where Chekhov went or the weird insectoid thingy that has replaced him but who cares.
It is great fun.

Or the one. Not as good as I remembered to be honest. Some of the stories are quite challenging with an array of stellar authors from TOS and others, and it is glorious to have the voices from the original cast but as a lifelong Trek fan left me a bit cold. Perhaps I am as ever looking through rose tinted spectacles. Animation was the biggest letdown, really quite clunky, although I grew up with seventies' stuff so should not have been expecting more. For hardcore fans only methinks. I cannot possibly insult Star Trek too much though as it has been the story of my life...! Live long and prosper x

Was familiar with all the shows from the original Star Trek. Enjoyed listening to podcasts like Mission Log where they discuss the shows in depth, so purchased this in order to listen to the podcasts on the animated series TAS. For only £12 it's excellent value.
The animation is often primitive, though for some shows like 'Yesteryear' it has good artwork and expands on ideas from the original series shows.
Often the shows are like ideas for scripts for TOS that were not used for some reason like they would not have been feasible to film.

Great to finally own these 22 important episodes

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 29, 2015

Verified Purchase

I have been intending to order this for years now and finally got round to it recently. Often referred to by enthusiasts as the original series "4th season", since the writers are from the originals, as are the actors who voice the animations. The episodes are shorter than the live action series (which initially surprised me) so some of them seem a bit rushed but for seasoned old Trekkies like me the magic is still there. Great to finally own these 22 important episodes which completes my Star Trek DVD collection.

Review for Star trek animated series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 19, 2012

Verified Purchase

Very good - many of the stories are a continuation of where the old series left off, such as tribble episodes etc. But if you are a star trek fan,
then you will enjoy them as I did. All the original voices are there (with the exception of Chekov) as this was done in 1973. It's basically for
younger fans though, so there will be no swear words ! Revenge perhaps really, as in my case, the original series was for me a little too advanced
when it first came out ( I was a school boy)- now they bring out this animated (series which I missed in 1973) but which I remember being on on Saturday mornings - it was for Kids !
If you like the first (proper) series this is good - once you get over the animated characters the stories are good in themselves and although Gene
Roddenberry says they shouldn't be classed as proper STAR TREK genre they are still quite enjoyable and worth watching.
If you liked STAR TREK, you'll like this.

I love Star Trek and have all the DVDs etc and i never gave the animated show a thought until now, and what a treat i have missed! The episodes are well written by some famous writers including Larry Niven.I thought that they were meant for children No not at all adults can get as much enjoyment out of them as well. The animation is rather basic but to have the original cast voice them makes up for this.
If you love Star Trek honestly you will love these.

Brilliant. Minimalist early 1970's animation - but clean lines and uncluttered animation. Very good stories too - actual use of science in fiction. A worthy successor to the original 60's series and very much in the same vein and style. Starring (the voices of) William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelly....et al.
