While one would believe that Star Trek could tak 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 Star Trek animated series Enterprise, while theoretically the same ship on the live action program, had a holodeck just like was introduced on Star Trek: the Next Generation. (I'll add more to this as I have the time--I have the entire season on Laserdisc.) |
