The Big Picture Fifty years ago, Star Trek: The Animated Series boldly took Captain Kirk and the crew of the USS Enterprise where they’d never gone before — 2D. Now to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the series, the franchise is releasing brief promotional shorts in that classic Filmation Animation style featuring characters from across Star Trek’s nearly 60-year history. Five, non-canon shorts will be released exploring weird and wacky corners of the Star Trek universe.
In the latest short, titled “Holiday Party,” Hemmer puts Spock in charge of entertainment for first contact day celebrations aboard the Enterprise. In his attempts to assemble a blooper reel, the half-Vulcan science officer wildly misunderstands what makes a funny joke, accidentally traumatizing the crew by showing a series of out-of-proportion misfortunes. Luckily the ever-understanding Uhura is there to explain what a real blooper is.
The new series of shorts comes from the mind of Casper Kelly who has directed all five of the upcoming Very Short Treks, which he also co-wrote with Claire Friedman and Star Trek: Prodigy Executive Producer Aaron Waltke. Back at San Diego Comic-Con, Kelly told Collider’s Perri Nemiroff that he “was nervous that the talent would say, ‘wait a minute, you can't have my character doing this,’” as his style “a little more irreverent and can be a little raunchy,” than Star Trek’s standard fare.
What Other Animated 'Star Trek' Shows Are There? The primary purpose of these shorts is to encourage viewers to check out Star Trek: TAS, as well as its more adult-oriented counterpart, Star Trek: Lower Decks. Lower Decks is currently airing its fourth season, and with two episodes already available, the 2D series is once again proving itself to be one of the best in the franchise.
New shorts from Star Trek: Very Short Treks air every Wednesday on StarTrek.com — you can head there to watch "Holiday Party" right now.
