I see that the Animated ST is due out on DVD soon. As I recall, these
were good stories but the animation was mediocre (as was the norm for
the early 70s). Since they have the audio and the scripts, I wonder if
they would consider re-animating these and broadcasting them. It'd be
a nice way to keep Trek alive (or at least in the consciousness) until
Paramount decides to do another series.

I've often wodered why they've never done a fully CGI animated Star Trek
- even as a test.

The PC games that came out in the mid-90s were very close to this. See
if you can find TNG's "A Final Unity" or DS9's "Harbinger" to see what
I mean.

"Judgment Rites" (the Trek:Classic PC game, with original cast voices)
was *SO* Classic-series--right down to the Shatner speeches and Kirk
hitting on the obligatory female character in one mini-game episode,
with appropriate series music--it should effectively end all arguments.

Derek Janssen (there is at least *more* than one "Oh no, they even kept
THAT!" moment by end of game)

Agreed. STAR TREK: CGI would be cool using Playstation 3 level fx.

You have to use your imagination,these kids today expect so much of
everything.While the animation is limited,the stories make up for it
as told before.This must of been a big time animation studio back
then,one wonders why it was even attempted.On Sat, 21 Jan 2006

I liked that they adapted a Larry Niven story for one episode.
