Rating  - dr spock?
Just one sentence, look in the liner notes of this STAS and instead of Mr Spock, it is written as Dr Spock, the child psychiatrist.
I often thought it was Dr Spock when I was a young lad, to find it is Mr Spock.
Enjoy... :)
Rating - Fast, ridiculous, animated and not just for hardcore Trekkies
I've only seen two episodes of the Star Trek original series, but I gobbled up this Animated Series in a little over a week. What makes it so much fun and so easy to digest is that it is all the original actors, most of the original writers, but animated and half an hour. The animation is...not that good, but that somehow falls right in line with the rest of the series' production value and forces the writers to tell better stories- which they do- faster. The saturday morning humor is there, but this is Star Trek, serious problems befall a serious crew on a serious scientific journey in the serious outer reaches of the galaxy. If you are a fan of all things ridiculous and whimsical, you'll enjoy Star Trek The Animated Series.
Rating - One of Filmation's finest!
No collection of Filmation cartoons is complete without their version of Star Trek. Like many Filmation projects from the seventies through the early eighties, the emphasis was on creating "realistic" animation focusing on well-drawn characters with live-action sounding voice acting. Of these projects, Star Trek is one of the best, right up there with their version the Adam West-Burt Ward Batman show, the Flash Gordon series from 1978 and their William Conrad Lone Ranger series from 1980 (I also love their classic Superman - the show the company was founded to produce - and Justice League cartoons from the sixties, but Filmation was still not as refined an animation house in those days, and their classic Zorro 'toons were really farmed out to Japan, so they don't count as real Filmation shows).
Of course, Filmation is known for their repeated use of stock animation that was reassembled to tell many different stories. This is something that bugs a certain group of fans, but I prefer to look at the creativity behind manipulating the stock footage into new stories in creative ways, with some doctoring for specific story scenarios. On Star Trek it worked particularly well because they were emulating a TV show that used a set number of stock effects shots repeatedly anyway (Enterprise in orbit, the one long ship-length shot of the Enterprise from it's side, etc). These techniques allowed Filmation to be the last bastion of TV animation in the United States, and I find the feel of old Filmation cartoons to be very endearing.
Rating  - A gift for my friend
I got this item as a gift for a friend who Loves Star Trek. He was thrilled to get it!! It added a piece to his collection that he was missing.
If you like Trek, and enjoy the classic stars of the original series, you'll like this series.
The artwork is pretty good too! Not the new animation way of making a cartoon, but old school, that, in my opinion, looks Better!!
Enjoy!
