Good start, but then it gets ruined

Captivating movie !

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This is a great show. It has great acting. And also has great story lines. It also has great animation. It is a good show. See it. Star Trek the motion picture is better. But still this i a great show.

Thus this is at first a 70s Saturday Morning Cartoon, just by seeing it with most of the original cast that did it in the Original Series puts this one at level with the rest of the franchise, despite the fact that the late Gene Roddenberry denied the canon and stories were treated in "average" TV animation for this era.The stories are well told, though short and targeted for a younger audience than the average Trekkie. Even some stories which were about to be told whether the Original Series would have continued found their way here, with cool results. Even story arcs from "TOS" involved the Tribbles with notorious merchant Cyrano Jones, the infamous Harry Mudd and Spock's father Sarek (all voiced by their original actors who appeared in the previous series). Sad to see that Walter Koenig did not participate, however, he did provide a story for this series.Luckily, all the original actors (Shatner, Nimoy, Kelley, Takei) reprise their iconic roles, and Nichelle Nicholls, Majel Barrett and especially James Doohan made excellent voice characterizations beside their original roles in Star Trek.Thus we can claim the average "still" animation of that era which is criticized, it opened the door to more flexibility, including original aliens (which today can be CGI-animated) and the add-on to the crew of Lieutenants M'Ress and Arex (who replaced Chekov) which proves the Federation can rely on other than humans and a Vulcan.If you can't stand the animation, good to close your eyes and imagine if they were real, as the dialogue exchange resembles the Original Series.Finally, if this is not considered "canon", however, the re-discovery of the animated series for the creators of the farther series (The Next Generation, Voyager and Enterprise) found a way to "connect" it and make it part of the franchise...And of course, it won an Emmy ! Enjoy Trekkies, worth the watch !

I remember watching this when it was on Nickelodeon, back when it was owned by Viacom, who would buy Paramount's TV division before renaming it CBS Television Studios after the breakup of Viacom into two: Viacom and CBS. The animation, done by Filmation 10 years before He-Man made them famous, is really good and the storyline draws inspiration from the classic Star Trek TV show. It was also the first Star Trek franchise to win an Emmy for best animated cartoon. The music is fun, the voices are just like that on the TV show, and the action is nonstop. Too bad the episodes go so quickly. I'm glad that this show is available to watch online on IMDb.

People say that Star Trek had no life between 1969 and 1979, boy are they wrong! In the early 1970's Star Trek was very much alive, in the form of animation! The stories told in this series are absolutely amazing and fun and seeing the crew we're come to love and cherish in cartoon form is what makes it all the better! The missions are more detailed, and all your favorite characters are there! I recommend anyone -- even non-Star Trek fans -- to check this series out, you will be blown away at the adventure and imagination these episodes have to offer.When I first heard of the cartoon, I thought it was going to be lame, but after watching it, man was I wrong! Given the fact that the live-action series had budget setbacks, the animated series gave Roddenberry the power to present Star Trek in a way that more fitted his dream. I just got the entire DVD set for Christmas and I can't put it down! The episodes are just amazing and I love them! Long live Star Trek: The Animated Series!
