Animated Series Blu-Ray Plans
 

Hey all! A bit of exclusive news from our multi-part interview with Robert Meyer Burnett - plans are currently underway for a Blu-Ray release of Star Trek: The Animated Series. Rob also mentioned that he had a "crazy idea" for the release that, if he could pull it off, would be very interesting.

Also - Rob gave his verdict on the Remastered Star Trek: The Original Series Blu-Ray release.

Here's the relevant part of the interview: http://tng.trekcore.com/bluray/01162...rburnett6.html

TAS on Blu-ray; day one purchase for me.

Re: Animated Series Blu-Ray Plans
 

And the original article reveals nothing more of this "crazy idea". Could be anything from an included "tool" to make your own Flash animations in TAS style to a hidden folder of M'ress "pr0n". Just couldn't "throw us a bone", could he?

Sincerely,

Bill

Great news!

Re: Animated Series Blu-Ray Plans
 

I wonder if the VAM will be animated, TAS style?

THAT would be a fun way to present extras. :)

Re: Animated Series Blu-Ray Plans
 

I hope something will be done. I noticed at Best Buy that the Jackson 5ive cartoon is now on Blu-ray. If that can be on Blu-ray, so should the animated Star Trek.

Quote: Robert Meyer Burnett - "...that new Star Trek movie was generic pablum that appealed to the masses."
Dead on. This was a cool interview and quite refreshing to hear from a Trek alumni rather than "it's Trek so it must be awesome."

You've absolutely nailed my feelings on this subject, thank you!

Re: Animated Series Blu-Ray Plans
 

A music only track would be a crazy idea....

Re: Animated Series Blu-Ray Plans
 

I'm still hoping for a full CGI remake. Keep the voices though.

Re: Animated Series Blu-Ray Plans
 

Wishing futilely for something too expensive and not the least realistic. You might as well just make an entirely new series.

Re: Animated Series Blu-Ray Plans
 

Not possible, since the music and sound effects were mixed on the same track. There are some Filmation DVDs that do have isolated music/SFX tracks for some episodes, but no isolatable music-only tracks exist.

Re: Animated Series Blu-Ray Plans
 

To get a clean collection of TAS music tracks I suspect you'd simply have to get an orchestra together and recreate and re-record the music.

Isn't that something like the Varese Saraband releases of TOS music?

Re: Animated Series Blu-Ray Plans
 

Same thing LitSF authors said and some still say about the original STAR TREK.

Re: Animated Series Blu-Ray Plans
 

Only the series is still followed after forty years. Check back with me in four decades and tell me if ST09 is still remembered.
