Star Trek: TNG -- The Animated Series

[Danja]

Filmation-style with a SLIGHTLY bigger budget (Picard doesn't have his hand over his mouth ):

Hang on a sec. No, there's nothing in my eye....

That's utterly brilliant. So much going on.

This might well deserve discussion in the Fan Films forum.

An absolutely excellent piece. The attention to detail is quite amazing. So many "beloved" aspects of TAS on display here.

Ha this is fun. The stilted poses, the constant re-use of animation. The camera angles chosen to show as little animation as possible. The purple used in the Borg Cube/Uniforms is also a nice touch.
And the best thing is how the Borg Cube "at warp speed" very slowly slides off camera.

I hope they'll make more though, I really want to see Troi in this style haha.

Brilliantly done. I love how they matched to controls to TAS.

 

[Amasov]

What really sells it is how they even mimicked the forgetfulness; such as the open turbolift door.

Justin said that he studied TAS on Netflix and on Blu-ray to understand the nuances of the video style. He noticed that sometimes the cells jiggled a bit when a character moved. He also thinks that some of the artifacts seen on the shows must be cigarette ashes from the animators as they worked.

It WAS the 1970's.

This is better than Filmation (they've done away with a lot of Filmation's cost-cutting shortcuts).

Thanks for posting this. Really informative and sweet. Still, this is the quote that stuck with me:

That really sums up the 1970s.

Love it! Thank you for sharing this.

That is basically perfect. They've absolutely nailed all of it, even the purple Borg Cube.

This makes me wonder... why hasn't a NG animated series set after NEM been put on the table. Did that story drive all the characters away from the Ent and each other. There has to be something more to tell there.

Someone needs to make this happen as an actual show while the TNG cast is still with us. Make it so!

 

[Masao]

Great fun! The only suggestion I have is that com badge/insignia on the chest should be bigger, which is TAS style.

The pink Borg cube made me laugh out loud. Loved it.

This is great.

If there was one, which I'm not sure there was, t could be like the Buffy animated series, in that it was too expensive for the smaller networks and zero interest from the bigger ones.

P+ already HAS two animated series (Lower Decks and Prodigy).
