Star Trek: The Animated Series is an American animated science fiction television series that premiered on September 8, 1973. It was produced by Filmation and ran for two seasons, consisting of 22 episodes in total. The series was a continuation of the original Star Trek series, featuring the same characters and settings, but with the added benefit of animation allowing for more imaginative and fantastical storylines. The series was composed of two main movements, with the first season focusing on exploring new worlds and encountering strange new life forms, while the second season delved deeper into the mythology of the Star Trek universe, including the return of classic villains such as the Klingons and the Romulans. The series also introduced new characters, such as the cat-like alien M'Ress and the three-armed Arex. One of the most notable characteristics of Star Trek: The Animated Series was its use of voice actors from the original series, including William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and DeForest Kelley. The animation style was also distinctive, featuring bold colors and stylized character designs that were typical of the era. The soundtrack for the series was composed by Yvette Blais, who worked closely with her husband Jeff Michael to create a score that captured the adventurous spirit of the show. The music was a mix of orchestral and electronic elements, with memorable themes for each character and setting. The theme song, "Beyond the Farthest Star," was performed by the vocal group The Star Trek Singers. Despite its short run, Star Trek: The Animated Series has become a cult classic among fans of the franchise, and is often cited as an important part of the Star Trek canon. Its imaginative storytelling and colorful animation continue to inspire new generations of fans, and its influence can be seen in later animated series such as Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Avatar: The Last Airbender.
