As for this writing, there were five animated series in Star Trek's annals. The first was also called "Star Trek" (though now known as "Star Trek: The Animated Series"), and collected most of the original show in the 1966 show (Walter Koenig was left out), continuing where the original series remained. He lasted two seasons in 1973 and 1974. Some trays believe that the "animated series" is only partially canonical, as later films and shows have opposed what they outlined. However, it was the first time Trekis has learned that Tiberius' Tiberius has been advocating for Tiberius.

The second animated series "Star Trek" did not start by 2020, after the franchise moved to Paramount+. "Star Trek: Dolni decks" was a 30-minute animated sitcom Version of Star Trek, set shortly after the events of Star Trek: Voyager. That show lasted a successful five seasons before approaching 2024. While the "Dolni decks" was produced, Paramont also launched "Star Trek: Prodigy", a series animated by CGI, produced by nickelodeon. That play was supposed to be more friendly for children than other "Star Trek" performances and have a teenager cast. That play lasted two seasons, prevalent during 2021 and 2024.

As for the other two animated performances "Star Trek", there may be some debate on their taxonomy. The Stop-Jaz Anthology series "Short Trails" lasted two seasons from 2018 to 2020 and, as the title implies, was built from short, independent stories within the universe. Two of the shorts in the second season of the show were animated, so it can be considered as an animated series for itself. "Short Trails", meanwhile, gave birth to the series "Very Short Trails", a new series of short, fur, non-Canonian comedian cartoons. That series moved by five episodes in 2023.

How are these animated shows? Let us slip into our judge's clothes and make some difficult calls.

The series "Very Short Trails" It was created by Casper Kelly, the main mind behind "Striker and hoop", "too many chefs" and the sequence of Chedar Goblin from Mandi. Kelly clearly has a perverted sense of humor, and the lecture at "Star Trek" is like handing over a hay fever, and then asking them not to get any mucous about it. Of course, Kelly created one of the stupidest - and the most stupid - "Star Trek" projects to this day, ridiculing the franchise relentlessly and did so with the participation of many of the different members of the show.

The idea behind "Short Trails" was to pay tribute to Star Trek: The Animated Series, which turned 50 in 2023. Kelly animated all of her "Animated Series" style shorts, which was produced by the famous studio for Lou Jamer's film in the day. However, Kelly was not clearly interested in the traditional Star Trek stories for research and diplomacy, nor was he interested in doing small studies on the characters of well -known Starfleet characters. Instead, he created strangers with heads of lingerie. He made a kind that he thinks is iteus to erase the Bulgarians of the officers to visit the federation. He created a character named Ass Face.

"Star Trek" can certainly withstand some irreversibility, as its main characters tend to be clogged, ultra -formal, uniform diplomats. And goodness knows that I want a good Bulgarian joke or face for face. But I don't know what this is. He knows enough about "Star Trek" in jokes, but it seems to hate the series. It can be said that "very short paths" is in fun, but that would only be true if it were fun.

When "Short Trails" debuted in October 2018, it seemed to have a mercenary. At the time, the first season of Star Trek: Discovery had just finished, and her planned second season would not make his debut until January. CBS All Access (not yet named Paramount+) clearly wanted to keep the hook subscribers until then, so the network seemingly referred to the "short paths" in production, freeing a short every few weeks, just far distance to keep the monthly subscriptions. The shorts were clearly very low-concepts, most of them filmed on mostly empty "Discovery", usually with only a few actors at hand.

A few of the shorts are the standards, and they did not become truly creative until later in the exhibition. In the second season, "Short Trails" led his first animated episode, called "Ephraim and Dot", directed by the observed composer Michael Gijain. The short followed Ephraim's adventures, a huge spatial tardigraphy, as it infiltrated the tunnels into the USS company. It was pursuing a drone repair, Dot, which was intended to throw it out. Thanks to a few views through the portals, Ephraim was in the company during the events of "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" and "Star Trek III: The Search for Spack".

The second animated episode of "Short Trails" was called "The Girl Who Made Starswells" and was directed by the regular Trek Olatunde vault. This was for a young Michael Burnham (the main character of "Discovery") listening to an old African folk story telling her father. It has very little to do with Star Trek and is fine.

Indeed, most "short trails" are fine just ok. Despite her convenient moments of ambition, there was always a little mercenary, made for financial reasons instead of creative. There was never the excitement of something like "liquid television" and never added important to Trek Canon. You can skip it.

The observed "Starwater Trail: Fornication" She was infamously canceled while her second season was in production, and frivolously missed Paramount+ together. The show eventually gathered Netflix, which aired its second season, but very much wondered why the "fornication" guaranteed such a cruel treatment. Was it CGI animation? Was it because it was broadcast by children-friendly nickelodeon? Were the elongated bows of the story? It's hard to say.

It could have been because Prodigy started on a lot of "Starvala Paths". At the beginning of the series, the main characters - a group of teen slaves - have never heard of Starflit before and has never encountered a Starflit boat. However, in the first few episodes, they find an abandoned ship called USS Protostar, climbing and instructed on how to use it with a hologram of Captain Janenevay (Kate Mulgru) to USS Voyager. Despite the "Star Trek" iconography, the villains and the action have made the "fornication" feel more like "Starwalks War".

However, during the series, teenage escapes - working on the orders of the JANEWAY Hologram - began to think about themselves as a team that was to work together and use their personal expertise in creative ways. By the end of the first season, they are all in Starflit back to Earth, happy to surpass their dark past. "Old Trek," the show claims, is better than "Starwells War".

The second season was an even more detailed story about time travel, withdrawing the protost from villains and reuniting many old, celebrities. The performance at first seems uncertain, but it quickly gets pretty great. He did not deserve his fate.

If someone was particularly daring, it could be ranked "Star Trek: The animated series" Even Higher than the Original Star Trek " Series. Ein Born Baberi oversaw his creation, and many of the writers of the original show returned, this time unlimited from the limits of special live effects. The animated medium of the show suddenly allowed Star Trek to become truly alien, which has incredibly made stars, strangers with multiple limbs, underwater episodes, and a visit to the planet where Satan lives (yes, indeed). Also, since the series was only 30 minutes (opposite the one -hour one -hour shows), the writers had to be more effective in storytelling, allowing the plots to be more natural and engaged. Some may find the following statement heretical, but there were less unusual things with character.

The biggest problems with the "animated series" are that they reduce the corners as often as possible, leaving much of the static and dull animation to look. There are many extreme circles of faces of characters where only their mouths move. The backgrounds are used in a noticeable degree, and the same three music signs can be heard over and over and over. The "animated series" could be creative with their foreigners and visuals, but they really didn't move much.

However, writing was sharp, and many of the episodes dealt with difficult themes and strange scientific ideas just like the original Star Trek. Her two seasons can probably consider the last two years in the five-year mission of the USS-on company that took only eight years to complete.

Prior to the release in 2020, Star Trek: Down Pleas began on the wrong foot. It sold as a comedy version of Star Trek, which was not what Trekis wanted at the time. You cannot undermine the severity of your franchise inside, Paramount. It was the work of the satirists. And indeed, the first episode of "Dolni decks" was not very good, emphasizing the flapthant, "Family Man"-a style of humor in the style of the Star Trek universe. Things weren't good.

But then the "lower decks" reached their feet and stripped off on a sprint. His premise was a novel, with a series of underestimated, lower -ranked Hipwell officers, those who have all the nonsense. In addition, it happened on an unimportant "Starflit" ship, USS Cheritos, who never cared about terribly important missions. "Star Trek" is a huge universe susceptible to complex bureaucracy and a fleet of green workers, all of which are needed to ensure that utopia can be achieved. For Ensigns, however, it does not always feel like a utopia. Sometimes it feels like you only have a job.

The shine of the "lower decks" came, though, as his main characters began to grow. Ensign Beckett Mariner (Tanie Newsusome) liked people to think about her as a firefighter, but she was eventually questioned about her behavior and reveals some serious uncertainties at work. The series is developing naturally as long as these people have terrible jobs and are more likely to swing by the "next generation" characters. It's one of the best paths of all of them.
