[hide] *Production 1  ==Production[ Edit] == The series was produced by Filmation and ran for two seasons. Animated versions of almost all the well-known characters from the original series were in this series. Their voices were often even pronunciation by the same actors who had played these characters in the original series. Only exception was Pavel Chekov (Walter Koenig), who did not could do with them because the budget of the series are not sufficient enough to hire the entire original cast. He was replaced by two new characters with about the same function: Lieutenant Arex and M'Ress Lt.

Besides the voices of Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, and Majel Barrett will use it. However, Leonard Nimoy refused for weeks to the series unless Nichelle Nichols and George Takei also were allowed to do with it. According to him they were of great importance to the series as it views the ethnic diversity of the 23rd century with their characters: Sulu and Uhura[1] .

Koenig was not forgotten, and later wrote an episode of the series. He was the first Star Trek actor who wrote a story. His episode was "The Infinite Vulcan", which had plot elements of the original Star Trek episode "Space Seed".

As usual for animation not the voice actors worked together in a space, but took their votes separately on. This also to not the other work of the actors in the war to kick. For example, William Shatner was around the same time working on a play. Doohan and Barrett did in addition to the voices of their own characters and newcomers Arex and M'Ress, also those of virtually all "Guest Star" from the series. Other actors were asked for guest roles such as Ed Bishop (Commander Straker on UFO) and Ted Knight (Ted Baxter in The Mary Tyler Moore Show).

Although the animation was more possible than in the original series, such as alien landscapes and believable non-human aliens, the budget was still a major problem for the production. There was settled stock footage from previous episodes used for new episodes. This resulted in errors sometimes, such as characters who suddenly appeared in the background while they were quite a scene earlier or later somewhere else. ==Cast[ Edit] == ==Episodes<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The 22 episodes of the series were spread over two short seasons.
