We also imagined TNG as a 1970s cartoon: ruclips.net/video/Jyz2pVqrEkI/видео.html 🖖
Do a DS9!
Star trek voyager animated series season 2 episode threshold for the dvd
This is incredible!
Please don't stop. Fantastic stuff!
I mean, this and the TNG episode is of course amazing…but yeah, as a huge DS9 fan…
The fact you chose this episode out of all of them is both hilarious and amazing.
I guess it makes a good animated episode due it's sheer wackiness
Well, the TOS Animated series was known for weird, wacky plotlines.
Threshold was definitely the episode of Voyager most in that 70's TAS spirit with a weird, wacky plotline.
Star trek original animated series in 1966 in the dvd. Star trek next generation 1988 animated series in the dvd next. Also Star trek voyager animated series in the dvd.
I agree ,very funny 🤣🤣🤣❤️🌹
@@arthurhill3454 what are you saying
It took 26 years, but we finally know why the episode Threshold exists.
It was to give us this very moment.
You people are doing the Founder's work 🖖
26 years wow
Right?? This is soooo great, and I laughed soooo much at the end! 🤣
Someone has their thinking cap on
Yeah, it actually made the episode GOOD. Lol
I will say, until the day I die, that Threshold is not a bad Voyager ep, or even a bad Star Trek ep in general. Solid ep with great makeup work and an interesting, if flawed, premise. The last 5 mins was pretty silly, but I don't mind silly in my Star Trek. It doesn't even make it to the bottom-10 star trek episodes for me, it definitely exists somewhere in the middle.
This actually works much better as a cartoon.
Even with Captain Mom?
as a pulp tos style tale its amazing
That was only possible because of the original Voyager series as context but I appreciate your perspective.
I think so too
I find this Captain weirdly young and slender, out of character almost
Perfect use of Tuvok eyebrow. PERFECT
Filmation was the production company that made ST:OS the animated series.
@@iamgermaneOh.. Makes sense
I suddenly feel like getting a bowl of cereal and sitting in front of the tv 😂😂
Saturday Morning Cartoons is a vibe! 😊
Hahaha
I miss 70s/80s Saturday morning cartoons and breakfast cereal of the 80s. Then of course the NES!
As someone who watched ST: TAS during its original run, I found this to be unbelievably charming. Not just the artistic style, but also the little touches, like adding in an alien at navigation who never otherwise appeared in the series. To the people who did this, my hat is off to you. Wonderfully done.
Even thought I've never watched an episode of TAS, and what little I've seen is goofy as hell, you really have to give it props for being able to actually get creative with non-humanoids and treating them as just normal people on the crew. Always annoyed the crud out of me how the few times we saw non-humanoids they were almost always single-episode villain/antagonist species like the the Tholians or Sheliak. I always felt it went against the Star Trek message about cooperation between vastly different species.
@@mr.incorporeal7642 That was the single biggest thing they were able to improve from TOS to TAS. ST: TOS was of course limited by both technology and budget and so almost all aliens were humanoid. But this limitation wasn't a problem for TAS, and there were several new aliens, including a cat-like navigator and another alien that looked a bit like a Kelpien.
@@BS-vx8dg Yeah, it's understandable considering TOS's budget was basically whatever change they could find under the sofa cushions, and even later series were limited. But it's always great when the restraints are cut loose and they can get really wild.
I used to play a lot of Star Trek Online, and that game's even less limited when it comes to alien designs. It's great.
@@BS-vx8dg Lt. M'Ress the Caitian ("same" as Dr. T'Ana on Lower Decks) and Lt. Arex, an Edosian (also seen as a guest on LDS) 😉
@@LarryNemecekTrekland Thanks for the refresher. I literally have not seen ST:TAS since its original airing on Saturday mornings nearly 50 years ago.
You captured the styling of old Filmation animation perfectly. I'm in awe.
That ending killed me.
@chemistryguy yah you´re so right.
Star trek voyager season 2 episode 15 threshold When Tom Paris becomes the mutate and Captain Janeway too were in the dvd. In Star Trek Voyager animated series season 2 episode 15 threshold The animates series look good in the youtube When Tom Paris has mutate and Captain Katherine Janeway changes into mutate too. Star Trek voyager animated series season 2 episode 15 threshold is next to be in the DVD.
Astonishing, it was note-perfect! Particularly the choice of the idiotic plot.
@@ArthurHILL-xp8bv Yes, but what season and episode...
The comedy music dropping in when the lizard babies appear is absolute perfection! Well done!
It really changes the whole tone of the moment. I am in stitches here. Thas was so perfect!
My sides are walking with the Prophets!
I'm not crying laughing, you are 🤣
This whole production is brilliant, but the best part is when the babies show up. The music, the surprised hand over Chakotay's mouth reaction...just absolutely amazing! I loved this and can't wait until the next one you produce.
I agree
Though I don't recall Chakotay doing that in the source material
Honestly this episode's plot fits TAS more than any other series.
Nah, TAS actually had some semblance of an idea of how evolution works.
I was thinking the same :)
don't insult TAS. It's still way more coherent than all of Discovery Season 2, and way more interesting than anything in Star Trek Picard
@@skippythealien9627 It's not necessarily an insult. TAS, regardless of what you think of its quality, really leaned into the weirdest/most fantastical/silliest elements of the Trek universe. "Paris builds an engine that goes to infinity miles per hour and mutates into a salamander" is a way more natural fit for this show than a show that was conceived as a dark, serious, daring and realistic break from Trek convention. To use another example, Discovery's experimental warp drive running on mushrooms would also fit this show much better.
@@Talisguy Oh Gawd...yes. The trippy mushroom dimension would fit TAS and its music perfectly. I can hear now the TAS sound effect as DISCO does that spinny thing. (Cccchheeeorrwww)
God, just... the "moving the cell that isn't perfectly clean" artifacts at 1:25. Just absolute perfection and the kind of problems TAS used to run into all the time due to the realities of its production. This is just a masterclass in replicating a certain feel. Great work.
Cigarette ash!! Them animators be chain smoking through the night while photographing the cels.
Also the mistakes! The com badges switch around a lot. And the fact the sound is in mono!
And Chakotay’s tattoos kept moving around…
Chakotay's reaction to seeing the little ones is incredible.
God playing the comedy music when the alien kids turn up is simultaneously so wrong and perfect at the same time. The hand over the mouth was the cherry on top.
I completely lost it at this moment! That was an excellent choice! XD
I’ve watched this twice now. The Easter eggs are everywhere: the bridge speaker, the planet from space, the running lights on Voyager & best of all, a tribute to all the animation errors in TAS by placing the com badges on the reverse shoulder! Super! Love the use of the old transporter effect + the Andorian...
The way the bad guys run like they're Batman Joker henchmen 0:34
And the very subtle but certainly deliberate scuff on the shuttle animation cell sheet moving with it at 1:27, from top left!
Don't forget the random alien species Bridge crew.
@@trisar2146 M3Green is from ST:TAS episode The Jihad…The Andorian looks like Thelan from Yesteryear…
The goofy looking aliens lol
1:17 Chakotay turning into Shatner with his "WHAT?!" was hilarious
Perfectly emulated The Animated Series' style - the frame jitters, the zooms, the ship external shots; it's hilarious and equally impressive.
Filmation was the production company that made ST:OS the animated series.
I loved the close-ups of Tuvok's facial expressions. The whole episode is great. I hope you are enjoying the process as much as we have been loving watching them.
Yup, those close-ups were brilliant, especially the one with the eyebrow raise!
Tuvok is the best Vulcan in all of Star Trek.
@@kennyhudson9201 Huh?? What about Vorik?? ;-)
@@ruhafla8326 LOL. Vorik got beat up by B'Lanna.
@@kennyhudson9201 well, he was going through Ponn Farr at the time
You took Threshold and somehow gave it both the comedy and dignity that it deserved. Chatokay's face palm and Tuvok's "here we go again" eyebrow raise is PERFECT. Also, thank you for adding more aliens on the bridge and with the landing party!
Threshold deserves no dignity
The closest thing to perfection I've seen on RUclips!
Was that a cameo from Seven of Nine at :57 ?
Bizarrely, this makes the story work 10x better. The lonely janky vibe of the music and the animation, the way you translated the styles perfectly while retaining its boxiness (especially with the shuttle bay and the computers). It's beautiful. You did such a good job with that tricorder too, they're suspiciously hard to get looking good in 2D. All the extra reaction shots and cutaways, and that medical diagram of Paris' evolution were brilliant too!!
Star trek voyager animated series season 2 episode 15 threshold in the dvd. Star Trek voyager season 2 episode 15 threshold.
It's amazing how well this episode fits the old TAS style.
1:25 My favourite part is seeing the film cel blemishes move along with the spacecraft like the cel itself is being pulled to simulate movement (how they'd do it decades ago). It's SO perfect! Give this team all the money to make more!
What bar?!!?!?! is hyper-evolved salamander Janeway?
I see. Maybe that is just a tiny bit of frozen water vapor that was pulled out of the bay with the shuttle, traveling in the same direction.
Real astronauts have said water vapor does that all the time. ✔️
@OSW However, I will tell you something that I find to be incredible almost to the point of humbling;
In the two thousand - single digits, or even much of the two thousand teens, this would have required a team of people to make, maybe even as few as two or three.
But, I believe in his video about how he made his previous animated recreation, he implied that he had done this _all by himself!_
Literally, he said he'd worked on it for months, to surprise his wife.
But think about that!
In the early 1970's, never minding the voice actors and script writers, and other things, think of the dozens of artists and technicians required to make the original animation.
And, just _eleven years ago,_ this would have required a small handful, maybe three, or at the most four!
Today, someone, *one person,* can go into their studio in their free time, and work on this, like they might paint a scenery portrait, mold and paint a statue out of clay, or write a song for guitar ensemble, or any other work of art!
I think that kind of progress is incredible!
I also am a bit amused that he has to "dumb down" the quality of the work, since today's tools would clear up the kinds of imperfections that were unavoidable but acceptable back then. 😄
@@EnjoySackLunch I think you replied to the wrong posting, but yes.
One of the hyper evolved salamanders was Janeway
@@TheNoiseySpectator obviously you’re not a golfer
It is becoming clear that every Trek series is incredibly cool when rendered in this beautiful homage to the original 70s animation
The music when the babies crawled put was so authentic! It had me dying! Wow, this whole thing is like I'm watching the animated series but on voyager! Bravo!
The music was pretty classic. The episode though was directly copied from Voyager down to the camera angles. It works very well for animation.
1:27 The "dust" on the "animation cell" as the _Cochrain_ leaves _Voyager_ is a great touch
Please tell me next month’s is DS9?! Would be cool if all the series got a chance to be adapted in this style. Maybe make TOS look like a modern cartoon? Loved it!
Boy, but what episode? The ending monologue from Pale Moonlight wouldn't quite fit the style; so many bashir/garrack and odo/quark moments to choose from.
Would be meta if they did DS9 trials and Tribbleations in this style would have The og Enterprise and the Defiant with Kirk and crew with Sisko and crew interaction
@@NeoakiraIV Perfect choice.
@@trekadam30 I’d be a tribute to a DS9 episode that’s doing a tribute to a classic TOS episode while doing a tribute to TAS
Sacrifice of Angels.... I'm just picturing 4 types of ships used over and over for the breaking the line scene instead of hundreds and each time a ship is destroyed it's the same animation used.
They even added cell dragging artifacts with the shuttlecraft. This is a master work in fan filmdom.
What is cell dragging? And at which timecode?
@@DriesduPreez
1:25 I believe.....basically the "layer" with the Shuttle being dragged along the screen and you can see the edges
Watch for the dot which follows the shuttle's path.
A pity that Filmation no longer exists, they would have to hire you to do a real animated Voyager series. Even with its glitches and mistakes, I have fond memories of ST:TAS.
The soundtrack at the end perfectly encapsulates the goofiness of that entire episode.
As someone who was alive and watching the original animated show back in the early 1970's, I can say without pause that you've done an incredible job matching it in tone and style. An absolute perfect match.
Agreed!!! And from someone who has the entire ST:TAS on videocassette, this was so faithful to the original! The only one I can remember that comes close is the New ST:TAS Ptolemy Wept, and the USS Yorktown Series both also on RUclips. Fantastic job!! Now could this "evolve" into whole new episodes? It would be awesome!!
It's basically the Johny Quest/ Space Ghost style. Pretty much any Hannah Barbara that wasn't meant to be silly like Tom and Jerry or the Flintstones.
Agreed! This is perfection!
I like how you can see the smudges on the animation cells when the spaceships move around.
please explain. I watched a second time and still don't see anything or just don't understand what I'm looking for.
@@jayf8308 Read OSW Review HD's comment on the same subject.
@@jayf8308 They simulated the effect of the spaceships being drawn on cellophane, as they would have done back in the 1960s. When the spaceship moves, it's animated in such a way that it simulates the effect of a piece of cellophane with the drawing on it being pulled across the frame, like something you would see in a low-budget cartoon from that era. Look at the shuttle at 1:26 and you will see white dots trailing behind it at a constant distance (I'm not talking about the stars). It's also noticeable at 2:39.
Yes I really like it myself.
Also smudges on the Tricorder screen and on the mouth of one of the salamanders.
Dear Justin:
As a BIG fan of the original Star Trek series with special emphasis on the animated version, that debuted in 1973 when I was nine years old, I CONGRATULATE YOU for your work on both Voyager: The Animated Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation The Animated Series. They are faithful renditions and excellent tributes to the original Star Trek animated series. You’ve done an outstanding job! I’m such an admirer that if I was a woman I’d marry you!:-)
I also appreciate the fact, that in your commentaries you judge the HISTORY of animation made back then in the time frame it happened, rather than by the standards of to-day. As a Historian and livid fan of history, I cannot get over how ABSURD it is for people to call something ‘cheesey, cheap (whatever!)’ WITHOUT careful analysis of the environment surrounding the subject in question. Cartoons of the 1960s were experimental, a move AWAY from the more expensive cartoons on the screen that at the time had become prohibitively expensive (as a children we had no computers, no cellphones, no VCR's, no video games. I had ONLY a B/W 13” TV in my bedroom as a personal piece of electronic gear).
By the time the 1970s arrived Inflation was ever-present and the ‘BIG 3’ ABC, NBC and CBS (there was no cable TV or Satellite in the early 1970’s) were mandated by an overzealous FCC and groups like A.C.T (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_for_Children%27s_Television) to lower violence on ‘children’s’ TV. Additionally the Big 3 had to contend with the now-defunct Television code en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_of_Practices_for_Television_Broadcasters#:~:text=The%20Code%20of%20Practices%20for,programming%20from%201952%20to%201983
In turn the Big 3 passed the mandate on to animation companies back then while at the same time demanding as many cartoons possible from the limited number of animators who did their work WITHOUT computers. So that for those of us who were children at the time, we really didn’t have much in the way of programming to choose from having exceptional quality, writing and animation other than what Hanna-Barbera, Filmation Associates, Rankin-Bass, Depatie-Freleng (Pink Panther, Ant & The Aardvark) and Ruby-Spears gave us.
The Star Trek: Animated Series was one of the first cartoons at the time that didn’t insult our intelligence as children.
To see it re-done NOW but using current Star Trek characters yet, retaining the same classic instrumental music emphasizing violins, Cello and horns IS AWESOME. And Justin, in case anyone points out hints of error or anything like that in the fine work you’ve produced, just ask them IF they can do BETTER. Never forget the old adage; “Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach.” - George Bernard Shaw
Incidentally I really enjoyed in Voyager; the Animated Series, Tuvok’s facial expression at time index 00.58 - 1.00; it’s so reminiscent of how Mr. Spock looked in the animated series, and the two of them Vulcan, which is what I’m sure you had in mind. The substitution of a humanoid with EM-3 Green from the original animated series episode Jihad at time indexes 1.38 - 1.40 was a MARVELOUS idea!
- Vinnie :'‑)
EM-3 Green can pick any lock
Majel Barrett as the voice of the computer is so classic!
THE ---- BEST! You guys actually managed to redeem that episode, meaning, it's whole purpose this whole time was for it to serve as the inspiration for this piece of art! The end is hilarious! Works waaaay better than the original, because this media and format offers the appropriate tone for such a ridiculous idea. What did not work at all in serious live action format, here it meets its full potential. Amazing, perfect choice of episode to adapt. Please keep them coming!
I wholeheartedly agree...imagine that, now we can watch "Threshold" and have a laugh WITH it instead of AT it.
BRILLIANT! 😍☺️😁👍♥️😅😂🤣
I loved this episode what's wrong with it
WOW! Thanks so much for this episode, it popped up in my feed and I didn't know about an animated series! Thank you Thank you Thank you
oof it's the same story like original voyager but in comic?!
@Jaōl Are you serious?
The plot of this episode was just awful. 🤢
This story is a rip off of a bit on "Mork and Mindy"! 🤦♂️
Lol, I love these 70's style animated Treks. And to choose Threshold as the episode to parody... beautiful! And that green alien helmsman was a hoot! Well done, as always.
That helmsman was based on Em-3-Green, from "The Jihad" animated episode.
Now this is top tier content. I'm literally crying while laughing. 10/10
I would honestly love to see one whole episode done just like this.
Re-envisioning "Threshold" as an animated episode is a genius move. The plot and story make sense now.
At first I was like "Oh man, why'd they choose the worst episode of Voyager!" then I realized... It was the most TAS episode of the entire series. VERY well done!
Ehhhhh, that's not even in the top 5 worst Voyager episodes though. Top 20, I agree however.
You're potentially just agreeing (I hope not!) with normies who haven't *actually* watched the entire series and base their rankings on blogs written by, yup you guessed it, poser sci-fi fans for example like io9. Basically myanimelist tier rankings. You know, frauds. People that wouldn't know the difference between a Hirogen and a Xindi if their life depended on it.
You're probably not *as bad* as them and perhaps a victim of mobthink regarding these things, but episodes like Threshold being memed as "worst" and City on the Edge of Forever being memed as "best" are just tiring to point out how they really aren't after so long. There's quite a few TOS episodes that are better by a lot and quite a lot of TNG episodes that are better than "Inner Light" by a lot.
And yet, people are compelled to agree "oh oh of course, that one is top of the charts there" because they probably can't even remember what season it was from to begin with lol.
Apologies for my salt though. I'm just someone who knows "Hard Time" from DS9 is way better and more clever than "Inner Light", and Neelix's acting peformance in "Jetrel" is one of the best and most underappreciated in all of Star Trek history.
The funny thing is the start of the episode isn't bad at all. It's a great premise to have an episode about. But when Tom gets back from his flight, it just goes all downhill in a hurry. Just goes to hell. It reminds me of one of those B movies that are so bad, it's good. You can't do anything but laugh, just like that at the end.
@@excessmaterial if you dislike any episode at all you're just a casual. I have watched the entire series between 100/200 times.
There are no bad episodes, no bad plots, everything is flawless constantly without fail and if you dislike any single second of it you are nothing but a dirty filthy casual tourist rookie weakling.
@@Jack-yq6ui Yeah I mean, what's not to like about Shades of Gray.
It's clearly so much better than Threshold.
@@excessmaterial blasphemy.
Can you, by any chance, do Deep Space Nine or Enterprise next? I'd love to see an episode of these shows in this animation style!✨️✨️✨️
Please don't do any of the newer series. No amount of animation can make STD watchable.
A year old? How the heck did I miss this great stuff?
I honestly love the attention to detail you put into the dust particles on the ships' cels. The goofy music at Paris' and Janeway's kids had me howling. Great work!
Magnificent! The detail in this in incredible; the "cell" motion as the shuttle moves away at 1:26, the music at 5:18, and the inclusion of the alien helm officer and the Andorian away team member. This is fantastic!
I noticed the cell moving too! Classic cheesy filmation style! So good!
@@jenniferwilliams9612 yesss...
It was instant nostalgia seeing the cel motion!!!!
LuvD it... more of this plz!!!!
@C M thank you. All correct now
Even the subtle differences in the voice recording quality from scene to scene, as if they were recorded at different times in different ways. This was so well done!
So good! I didn't think they could out do the last video!
You've turned one of the stupidest episodes of Voyager into a piece of living art... this is absolutely brilliant!
The music, the art style... also when everyone was running, I felt the urge to say 'jinkies!'
This is a brilliantctake on TAS animated art style, as well as many other cartoons of the era. My hat off to you 😊❤
Star Trek the Animated Series is how I discovered Star Trek TOS. I was a kid in the 70s when the Star Trek cartoon was out, and my lifelong love of all things Trek started with the cartoon. I feel lie I just time travelled back to my childhood living room in front of the giant wood panel-surrounded TV, and I'm sitting on the burnt orange shag carpet with a can of Dr Pepper, cross legged and so close to the TV "that you'll go blind." Dang you got everything, from the campy dramatic music that ran nonstop throughout the episode, to the crazy weird closeups, the Vulcan eyebrow raise EXTREME CLOSEUP, and the random aliens on the bridge and in the landing party that no one could ever account for. So damn brilliant, I want to see this and more as a regular TV series on today! BRAVO!!
It's very strange, but as terrible as 'Threshold' was as a live action episode, it sort of works as an animated one. Truly stellar work by the way. As a great bonus, I discovered your wonderful Miikshi series thanks to this video
Of COURSE you did this episode. Good job on the animation; the shakey or too fast zoom ins on animation cells, the vulcan brow asset and that stupid tackle charge/running animation they always used. You even got the hand gasp in there at the end, with the good use of the music. Good stuff. Is bad that I kinda still what the 'evolved' Tom Paris action figure they made off this episode?
Just buy it bro, treat yourself
I thought this episode was outright dumb. I was hoping we Trekkies could just forget about it, altogether.

That was amazing. Spot on to the classic cartoon as well. Nice job
Of course it's the time they went so fast they turned into lizards. That's definitely an animated series idea.
Fantastic job. The audio was a great touch.
This is brilliant on every level. You took one of the most notorious episodes in Trek history, matched it with flawless TAS graphics and audio...and somehow created a masterpiece that makes total sense.
It makes me realize that Voyager could have been a far better show if it simply hadn't taken itself so seriously.
The show learned to not always takes itself so seriously as the seasons went on. Like that time the Doctor had to sing to Tuvok to stop him from busting in his pants.
An interesting topic for discussion. Star Trek Voyager did a lot of things tongue in cheek, in a way that alienated the fan base. But I think that is on the fan base, not on the writers and production crew. After all, there is plenty of absurdness about Star Trek TNG that gets ignored, but the show still gets held up as Peak Trek. As if “Masks,” it that one where all the crew evolves into another animal, or every episode where someone steals the enterprise, were not all ridiculous. All STV: Threshold did is add a punchline to the premise of a bad TNG episode. After all, it’s totally believable that Riker would have mated with Picard if they both evolved into a non-xy selection species. But alas, the Trek fans online in the 90s were known for being homophobic. The worst one went by the name Rick Berman.

Absolutely fantastic work. The authentic animation style, the music, the lo-fi quality of the voice tracks, additional alien crewmembers, it’s all so on point. And you even kept Tuvok’s “wrong” rank, as well! More please! I’m just imagining what you could do with an entire episode…
03:16
Love Tuvok's "well that smells like bullshit to me" eyebrow raise.
You can see he's itching to say "that's not how evolution works, nitwit!"
Amazing how this is so much better than the Very Short Treks...
lmao at the music when the babies come out.
The homage continues! Thank you. Everyone watching please appreciate what you are seeing. The exact recreation of the filmation style is flawless. Take note of the backgrounds especially. This is true art. The sound effects, hand drawn frames and the fps animation is a tribute to this long lost style. Thank you Gazelle. This makes my day.
That was STUNNING. I know a lot of people have been saying this, but this was SO much more fun to watch than the actual episode. I actually laughed out loud at the end. Great job!
There’s levels of detail in this which I love; and it’s the things like the faint animation cells you can see when the shuttle or Voyager. The fact they’ve animated mistakes in like the position of the com badges! Even the dialogue is in mono. Very authentic feel
5:17
The silly music playing when the offspring are revealed nearly killed me, lol.
Once again AMAZING work! The attention to detail of the crappy Filmation animation is second to none. You even have dirty cells as they slide across the screen! And I'm sure there are tons of other comments saying that this is better than the actual episode.... well it's true!
I like the way Chakotay's tattoo switches sides at 5:04. At 4:08 they use an anachronistic transporter effect and sound. At 3:58 they use a really cheesy effect to make the planet look like it's rotating. Excellent homage.
Hey Joe! A fan of your channel back in 2013. Surprised to see you here and comment. Keep up your good work!
lol that speck of dust at 1:26 sealed the deal for me. This is a work of genius.
I kinda was like why is voyager warp nacelles not in the "Warp position"
Nice to see you here!
Wow! This was so well done! I used to watch a few of those Filmation shows every Saturday morning as a kid back in the '70s, and this was spot on. The art style, the facial expressions, stances, zoom-ins, camera angles, music, etc. were indistinguishable from the old shows. If it weren't for the fact that the dialogue wasn't recorded in a sound studio and Filmation went defunct before Star Trek: Voyager premiered, I might have believed this was really one of theirs. Kudos on such a convincing job!
Fun fact, some of those dialogues in Star Trek the Animated Series were recorded in a bathroom in Mexico, so the problem is that the sound recording was too good for this!😁

This is absolutely phenomenal (and as an avid collector of cels, I appreciated that some of the stars moved with the Delta Flyer)!
Tuvok doing the Spock Eyebrow is so priceless! 😂
That was absolutely brilliant! The look on Chakotay’s face and the whimsical music when he sees the babies, lol. Perfect!
it actually fits the scene better than the real scene did
Based on Kirk's "Hand Over Mouth" expression from TAS.
OMG OF ALL THE EPISODES !!! love it 😍 lol! Love the green lizard alien throwback to the original cartoon
Edit: This episode fits so well with TAS style with how silly it is, TAS had some weird episodes like the Enterprise going to a magic universe so this fits very well
That very depressed-looking green alien at the helm? Yeah, I immediately remembered that guy, too.😀😀😀
When I saw her, I actually said out loud, "it's M3Green's great-great-something-granddaughter!"
So true, Threshold has a story that 100% fits the goofy tone of TAS
The comical music at the end made this perfect
Chacotay's "WHAT?" At hearing that shuttlebay 2 was decompressed isn't because of that news, but that Voyager doesn't even HAVE a shuttlebay 2.
This is so incredibly amazing! You somehow took Threshold, what is considered one of, if not the WORST episode of Voyager, and made it something truly special. And that ending is so much funnier now! I would suggest sharing this with Brannon Braga, the original writer of the episode, and see what he thinks. He once admitted in an interview that Threshold was probably the worst script he ever wrote and was so ashamed of it, he did not consider it Trek canon. I bet he's gonna love your version if he sees it.
Why he thought that humans evolving FORWARD would result in a REGRESSION back to huge salamander like form is confounding.
And if the shuttle went to Transwarp, no way Voyager at normal warp could find them in "three days". They would be months to years away from Voyager
But these are just a few of the issues with Voyager in general
@@geraldford6409 I guess it could tie into the idea that intelligence is expensive and if given the right/wrong environment a species could evolve out of intelligence to save energy. The most recent example I can think of is the Swarm in Love Death and Robots as well as the Mantelopes in All Tomorrows by C.M. Kösemen
@@geraldford6409 It's like the lyric from a Paul McCartney song: "I go back so far I'm in front of me" except, y'know, the opposite result :-)
@@geraldford6409 not for a few seconds of transwarp.
Threshold was such an absurd episode of Voyager but this animated version made seem redeemable.
I never thought I'd enjoy Threshold. It's amazing what a change of tone can do for a show.
I love the random alien sitting at the helm. That's very appropriate to the medium.
I used to watch the original cartoon series when I was a kid in the 70’s.
Such great memories!
It’s amazing how similar the actors chosen for the live action version of this 60s cartoon were so so perfectly cast for the roles! They really were a lot like their original cartoon counterparts! 😉
Those weren’t the actors from the show reprising their roles
@@pk5727 It was a joke dude. Jesus Christ.
@@Dorelaxen spare me.
We live in times when you can hear the presidents playing yugioh and magic the gathering.
It’s A.I. doing the voices.
@@pk5727 Wow. Stupid is as stupid does. Since this is audio lifted directly from the episode The Threshold and ran through a filter to make it sound like the old cartoon audio, which would be way easier to do than have A.I. copy it. Hey, if you think this is A.I., I got some bridges to sell you, and some oceanfront property in Arizona. Cheap!
@@pk5727 or.....here's a wild thought..... he put a filter on the quotes from the episode 😂
You guys actually brought redemption to a Voyager episode which in the past I considered pretty dumb. To that I say BRAVO! As well, I just love how the TAS animation effects make things work for a episode that didn't work as live action. For instance, that cheesy blurred light effect when Janeway wakes up on the shuttle as it goes into transwarp. Please keep up the excellent work.
1:25 I like how you even included the dirt bits on the glass frame for the shuttle animation. Overall, unlike the actual show this is quite exciting! It's amazing how important music can play a vital role in giving something life.
2:30 oh NO! They've gone PLAID!
(4:50) I just love how the salamanders go "thump" when they get hit by the stun level phaser. 🤪
Brilliant move picking Threshold. It's the only episode that casual Voyager viewers like me would instantly remember the infamous plot to. And you've definitely improved it.
It was the worst episode of Voyager
3:36 VERY impressive. You even created the shadows of the cel layers when there was more than one character because they weren't bothering to get the cels completely flat against each other under the platen glass before clicking the camera.
This really needs to be a thing!! Have a show with two 15 min episodes. One would be Voyager and the other TNG! I would so watch it every week!
Lt. Paris hairline never recovered from travelling at infinite speeds.
This is fantastic; it feels almost exactly like a real episode of the Animated Series. Thank you for producing and sharing it!
Despite the fact that this was one of the stupidest episodes of Voyager, they did a great job creating this animated short.
Fortunately for us, Voyager had excellent casting and scripts for the most part.
I hope to see future animation for this show.👍
*Just Voyager? It was literally the worst episode of ALL of Pre-JJ Star Trek ever made.*
I must be the only person to think that this episode of Voyager was not as bad as its been made out.
@@ReverendSyn **coughcough** Dr Crusher porking a space ghost **coughcough**
Since Paris was more evolved than Janeway... Wouldn't he be a million years ahead of her?
What about the children!?
@@TexasCat99You need to turn off your brain when watching "Threshold".
It's probably worst ST episode ever (including ST: Discovery).
Story just makes no sense and it's widely considered non-canon by fans.
Star Trek: Prodigy just did an episode using audio from TOS of Spock and Uhura, Odo from DS9 and Chakotay from Voyager.
Captain Janeway is on the show too.
There is nothing more amazing than the 70s Filmation animation graphics and sound! They are great in the Original Star Trek version and great in all of Star Trek's timeline series. Great Job!
The occassional smudges on the plastic is just a sublime detail.
Loved it.
Loved every part of it.
The janky combadges, the random Em/3/Green insectoid, the Andorian, Neelix being a static drawing looking COMPLETELY out of place, the visible cell layer moving when the shuttle departs Voyager, absolutely all of it.
Adapting episodes as you have here was so superior to what was done for Very Short Treks. It was totally our loss that Paramount didn't ask you to help.
Man, animated Chakotay looks way livelier and attentive than the actual one.
Thank you SOOO much! You have perfected “Threshold”! I particularly appreciated the Proto-Seven of Nine on Tuvok’s security team, and the much needed increase in species diversity. The musical notes at the very end were perfection! Qapla’
Oh my. Please do all the shows. I'd love to see DS9 and ENT in this style. Great job.
“I don’t know how I’m going to enter this into the log...” 😂
I would buy this box set on Blu-Ray!!!!!! Fantastic work. As a child of the 70’s, I enjoyed the animated Star Trek series on Saturday mornings, along with ST:TOS in syndication. Of course, I’ve also enjoyed TNG, Voyager, and DS9 as well. This ST Voyager animation PERFECTLY follows the “formula” of the ST Animated Series, right down to the musical cues, re-use of character movements and facial expressions (especially Chakotay and Tuvok), and even static minor charactes (Kes) who do nothing in the scene. The alien at the Navigation console was obviously a tribute to Lt. Arex, given that the live-action show featured no such alien race.
Thank you!!!! More,please? Perhaps with Seven of Nine?
Incredible! This excerpt, just like the TNG one, are both very faithful and accurate interpretations which feel like TAS versions of their respective shows. Also, the salamander Janeway and Paris on the planet are, oddly enough, adorable! Much cuter than the live-action models.
and the babies!
There's a TNG one!? Wow, I've got to check these out.
You are so insanely clever with the details you put in here, just little things like the plates being backwards in certain scenes adds so much authenticity to this.
The music at the end... This is just perfect.
“I’m not sure which one is the captain.”
“The one with her hair in a bun, obviously.”
Favorite moments:
1:15 "WHAT?"
1:39 "Aye, Commander"
5:17 Another Chakotay shocked expression followed by a whimsical music interlude scene done so well it became the highlight I'll remember most from any of The Animated Series, original or reimagined.
Maybe the writers of this horrible live-action episode will be somewhat redeemed when everyone sees how well it works when handled by talented people in a different format.
I was too young to have seen the first run series, yet just old enough that TAS was my first encounter with Trek. Both of these Filmation tributes are pitch perfect and so much fun to watch - I can't wait for more.
Fantastic! This is the best 5:41 of cheese ever! I especially appreciate how you've captured a stylized essence of each character's face with so few lines and no depth detail. Also the dozens of little things, like simulating the blurs and mars on the transparent portion of celluloid when there are moving objects, the pitch quaver in the audio recordings, and the weird audio equalization not matching between the dialogue recordings and the music samples, etc. This is all such a great match to the original animated style. One thing that I've noticed that you don't do is hide the character's mouths behind hands or objects in a ridiculous way so that you can avoid animating their mouths as they talk.
I would rewatch the entire series done like this.
