THAT WAS GREAT! Make this a series, PLEASE!!!

I love how the borg cube was pink!!! One of the guys working on the original animated series was color-blind and there were regular things miscolored pink.

I have never seen something so perfectly done in my life. No detail was missed. When you watch any recreation of classic media there's always something off or missing because the style and technique is so far gone but this, THIS is perfection. Your team really really get it.

I can't decide what my favorite part of this is. The blank expressions on everyone's faces, the weird closeups, the Kzin at ops, the fact that the ships "fly" through space by slowly and awkwardly sliding across the frame. It's a pitch perfect recreation of the old cartoon in every aspect.

No one else has mentioned this detail… On TAS they often forgot to put the turbo lift doors in place when doing the animation so you often saw the turbo lift with the doors open. You even got that detail on here…the rear turbo lift doors are open. Amazing. And the purple cube. Just wow

Omg this is the most brilliant omage to the original cartoon series complete with the music and animation style. Brilliantly done!!! 👏

The animation of Riker running directly at camera was *muah*

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!! I liked how you mimicked all the "forgetfulness" of the Original Animated Series i.e.) The doors being left open. Starfleet insignia being crooked on the uniforms. Well done! Do more clips!

So glad you caught those doors open! 🤣

The level of detail here is INCREDIBLE! Take note of the black ink outlines of the characters and everything else and then look at an episode of STTAS. Nearly identical. Curious what the workflow, software, and methodology that were used to create this.

They even had the drop shadows of the cell overlaid on the background! The only thing missing is the fingerprints and other artifacts you can see in the hd remasters online

@@lordcantiismyname Absolutely. Look at around 00:15-00 - 00:17 second mark on the close-up of Riker. You can see the smudges moving on his forehead when he talks. Very accurate for the time. Dust and other artifacts on the animation cels. One would be hard-pressed not to think this wasn't done old school with ink and paint on plastic one frame at a time.

I love how you got all of their likenesses downpat while still fitting the more minimalist style fantastic

Can’t believe how well this was done. What a great homage to the original cartoon show!

Wow, bravo to whoever put this together. They captured the 70's Trek animation to a Tee.

Complete with dirty animation cells and a Kztinti helmsman. A masterpiece.

As I said on the Voyager video, how the heck did I go an entire year without seeing this great stuff? Very excellent.

Absolutely digging the Purple Borg Cube, looks like something out of a Jack Kirby Comic

Okay, the pink Borg cube? The Kzinti at helm? The sparkly Borg shields. 10/10

One of the details that really jumps out at me is the open turbolift door. I ALWAYS noticed on TAS how that seemed to always be open for no reason. I love that you did that.

I'm guessing that's because they would animate the doors in later.

1:03 the running is the best!!!

Making the Borg cube purple was a nice touch.

1:25 you can see the background stars through the Borg cube cel. So subtle.

The Dutch angle on the borg. The awkward closeups. The dropshadows and artifacts. The slow submarine way the ships move. The stock audio effects. This is *chef's kiss* perfection. I know it must've been a huge effort and I appreciate it all!

My fave part was the blocky way Riker ran towards the camera with his arms chugging away. Perfect.

I absolutely f#@$ing love it. The music from the original animated series and sounds also. Perfect

I like that they somehow managed to put in a Kzinti crewman despite that they never showed a Kzinti in Next Generation

Bravo, you totally nailed it. If "Best of Both Worlds" had been on The Animated Series in 1973, it would be exactly like this.

This needs to become an actual show. Remaking TNG episodes in the animated style of the old Filmation show.

Well, this just relentlessly rocked. Filmation, when Saturdays were for mornings.

I was a kid when ST:TAS first aired on Saturdays... The nostalgia hit is real. I could play ST:TAS, ST:TNGAS, and ST: VOYTAS one after another, and throughly enjoy all of them...

Really enjoyed seeing a Kzinti at the helm and a pink Borg cube. Watched something about the TAS where it was said the guy, maybe Larry Niven himself, who approved the Kziniti ship design was color blind so didn't notice it was pink. Why it was done in pink in the first place I don't know. But the nod to the Kzinti was very cool to see!

Yeah I liked that touch. Although every time I notice them in anything related to Star Trek I keep thinking it's so strange that they exist in the ST universe. They do seem fitting, just seems very odd to copy IP.

It wasn't Larry Niven who was colorblind it was the colorist for the episode. Larry Niven wrote the story and didn't know until it aired.

​@@barrybend7189 That's also why there were pink tribbles ("More Tribbles, More Troubles") and a white Andorian ("Yesteryear") in TAS.

Absolutely love how perfectly imperfect this is to match the actual TAS. Incredible job!

Lifelong Star Trek fan,, including TAS...you not only managed to recreate the animation style, you also recreated a happier time as well...if only for a few moments. Well done!

The cube being the mauve of most TOS TAS ships was a nice touch.

This is amazing. As someone else said, the homage to TAS is amazing. I was wondering why the Borg was all purply at first until I remembered the story about the Kzinti uniform, how what was supposed to be gray became purple, allegedly because of Hal Sutherland's colourblindess. I'm very impressed that you haven't just replicated TAS' feel but even tidbits like this.

I love the fact the borg cube that is usually black, in regular tng is purple in this.

Notice the distinctly 70's "digital" sound effect when Worf fires at the Borg drone after he has remodulated his shield. Also the way the entire screen shakes when a character hits the deck. Perfect! 😊

I love the little touches - a 5% transparent Borg Cube

It's almost as If I went back in time. WELL DONE - even using the FILMATION Original Soundtrack from the original animated series...

(I am writing this on M 02 MAY 2022.) I saw TAS when it first came out in 1973. For 10-year old me, it was appointment viewing Saturday mornings. This is very very good; almost perfect! For those of you born too late to remember these things... 50 years ago, before cable was commonplace (and there was no satellite TV or Internet or video games), free broadcast TV ruled with only the Big 3 networks - ABC, NBC, CBS - PBS, and independent stations. Also commonplace were the TV listings in the newspapers. So, if you wanted to know what was on TV in your area that day, you checked the TV listings in the newspaper or, if you got the Sunday paper, they usually had a TV guide for the week. In the New York City metropolitan area where I grew up, the New York Daily News was the most popular newspaper and we had a subscription. In the Daily News TV listings, "outstanding" shows were always listed in boldface font. At that time, every Saturday morning on the networks, TV was focused on children usually with relatively mindless cartoon shows. I remember no Saturday morning TV shows ever being listed in boldface.... until the animated version of "Star Trek" debuted. It definitely was more than a kids show and the only thing that made it a "kids show" for the industry was that it was animated ("a cartoon", we'd say... e.g. "Cartoon Star Trek"). However, the TAS stories were definitely adult in sophistication not being much different than "Star Trek" ("TOS" to you). Perhaps that's why it warranted the boldface "outstanding" indication. It's criminal that series did not last longer.

Riker moving with the horizontal arms was absolutely the best
