Star Trek: The Animated Series is a cartoon set in the fictional Star Trek universe.

It was produced by Hanna Barbera (IIRC), and ran for one season in the late 1970s. This show featured most of the original cast performing the voices for their characters, except for Pavel Chekov (Walter Koenig), who was replaced by Lieutenant Arex. Arex was a member of a tripodal species which had three arms and three legs.

While one would believe that Star Trek could take full use of the freedom that animation provided, budget restraints were still a concern, and the animation quality was poor. However, it did afford the crew a set of much more encompassing alien landscapes than could be provided by a small studio.

It is of note that the Enterprise ship in this series, while theoretically the same ship on the live action program, had a holodeck just like was introduced on Star Trek The Next Generation.
