Star Trek: TNG -- The Animated Series

Got it right, right down to the slow-paced arms-up-and-akimbo running style!!
If the lines are done via a voice alteration device, I'm envious. If (as it sounds like) they're pulled off TNG soundtracks, I'm...awed. In that case, the filmaker(s) (I just watched the episode, haven't looked at the page text) have put into this so much work I literally cannot imagine it being done.
I do have to add that (being someone who laughs real hard at folks who fear things that aren't scary at all) the first thing I thought on seeing the cube's color (and that of the Borg uniforms) was (insert voice of favorite scared current Trek series critic) "Oh NO! GAY ASSIMILATIONIST BORG! Why are the Woke always trying to shove things down our--"
(I really, really, really want this to be the case)

WOW! Now I want a whole series!
Also, I've realized that even if I forget everything in my dotage, I will still recognize that TAS "we're in deep shit" music.

Filmation-style with a SLIGHTLY bigger budget (Picard doesn't have his hand over his mouth):
I love this so much! Wish there were more of it!
Wow! That's so spot on!

Lovely! If only there was an extra TNG story they could take audio from and make a new ep- oooooooh wait...

Some more about the film:

It WAS the 1970's.
This is better than Filmation (they've done away with a lot of Filmation's cost-cutting shortcuts).

Filmation was cheap.
They did manage to catch Filmation's style and camera angles well.
I think it would be interesting to have a TNG animated series using the CGI rendering style like "The Bad Batch". The original cast could do the voices and they could show things deemed to expensive for the live action show. Really bizarre aliens instead of bumpy foreheads, wild alien locations and maybe even a glimpse of the Main Shuttlebay/hangardeck...

They were, but ALL the studios did the same thing, even at Disney
Filmation raised penny-pinching to the level of high art.
He-Man had the same five actors doing ALL of the voice parts. (This is in addition to Lou Scheimer drafting his family. He had his wife and his daughter Erika doing voice work as well.)
Lou acted under the alias "Erik Gunden" to hide the extent of his work.
To its credit Filmation didn't ship aspects of production overseas where it was cheaper, as some others did. But their house style is so absent life and so dependent on cel re-use it makes the average episode of a Hanna Barbera show like Josie and the Pussycats look lushly animated by comparison.
A bit more info from the maker of the video:
Wonderful ending, there. *the tingles*
