a5c7b9f00b This animated series continues the adventures of the USS Enterprise, taking advantage of the visual freedom of animation to present stories with more alien elements. The further adventures of Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the USS Enterprise,they explore the galaxy and defend the United Federation of Planets. 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. With simple but effective economy of motion, STAR TREK: THE ANIMATED SERIES was light years ahead of the Special Needs programming doled out by most networks on Saturday mornings. (Not that it was limited to Saturday mornings: the live-action PLANET OF THE APES teleseries would've probably fared better had it aired on Saturday morningswell: despite the superb production values- including fantastic makeup, on a weekly basis-, PLANET OF THE APES was written on a child's level, with often simplistic and sometimes downright embarrassingly stupid stories.) STAR TREK: THE ANIMATED SERIES often transcended the live-action limitations, venturing into uncharted territory. Action was minimal, but there were some interesting aliens throughout (and some familiar faces, and some recycled story lines). Of particular interest to me was the introduction (finally) of Captain Robert T. April, the first captain of the Enterprise. And the episode where the crew caught The Plague was definitely not the norm for Saturday morning cartoons of that period.
