The Star Trek: The Animated Series Blu-ray collects all 22 episodes of the 1970s cartoon continuation of Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek, which aired on NBC on Saturday mornings from September 8, 1973 to October 12, 1974. Much of the original cast returned to voice their characters, including William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and DeForest Kelley.
This is a brand-new copy. It is a Blu-ray release, so you will need a Blu-ray player or a game console that plays Blu-ray discs. It will not play in a standard DVD-only player.
The series originally aired simply as Star Trek, subtitled "Created by Gene Roddenberry." It brings back Captain Kirk, Spock and Dr. McCoy in new animated stories, with much of the original cast providing the voices of their characters.
Original cast member Walter Koenig did not appear because the budget could not cover the complete cast. Filmation did buy a script from him, which became the episode "The Infinite Vulcan." Season 1 ran from September 8, 1973 to January 12, 1974, and Bill Reed directed all six episodes of season 2 in 1974.
The show was the first Star Trek series to win an Emmy Award. Its second season received the 1975 Emmy for Outstanding Entertainment – Children's Series. In 2016, the animated series was included in Paramount's Star Trek 50th Anniversary Blu-ray set, alongside the three seasons of the original series and the original-cast films up to Star Trek VI.
For fans who own the live-action seasons, this collection fills in the rest of the original crew's TV adventures, with all 22 episodes of the Star Trek animated series together on Blu-ray.

Nice to have some old friends again
The animateds were kind of underestimated in terms of plot, story, and characterization. The main thing was the ability to get some non-humanoid characters in, and tell a few stories the original series either couldn’t or never got around to. The animation is entirely by hand, so kind of austere by today’s standards. But the stories are up to scratch, and even a little on the mature side (SPOILER ALERT: Spock losing a beloved pet and growing up a little). Definitely worth having, if only to complete the collection.

Good continuation of the original series storyline
This was a lot of fun because it did continue the original series storyline. Obviously because it’s a cartoon they didn’t do things exactly the same. Differences they turned up the comedy aspect a little bit and turned down the serious side. Very enjoyable though, if you’re a Star Trek fan, you have to see it too.

Boldly Going
I love this show. A fond memory for me, as it was my introduction to Trek. Despite being a cartoon, they didn’t water down stories for a kiddie audience, using sci-fi luminaries like D.C. Fontana and Larry Niven. Oh, and they used the actual cast of the original show instead of cheesy Saturday morning dubbing.

BD version
Like the series. Audio and video quality are good. The animation sucks… it was the 70s and I’m guessing the studio was just cashing in on the name although a lot of animation at the time did the same thing. Writing was good. Acting was sometimes flat and some episodes can drag. Packaging is good.
