You've been watching too much Babylon 5, ActiveX!

That movie was called Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.

A Trek animated series of that quality could possibly be the best Trek show, period.  

As an added bonus we would not need to worry about the actors aging out of the roles.

Or eating too many yummy donuts and not fiiting into their uniforms.

Think about it:

No Wardrobe department

No long hours in the make-up chair

No specialized set building (I lived in L.A., and always loved that most alien planets looked like Simi Valley)

A lot of the constraints faced by Science Fiction shows are due to the limits of what can be filmed. Those limits are almost completely removed in CGI animation. If Viacom can foot the bill for a truly uninspired Spider-Man CGI series on MTV, surely they could do the same for Star Trek, one of their core properties.

 It would seem to have enormous upside, and little downside, yet I have never heard of anyone pitching it.

These days, computer effects have cut costs enormously, doing the entire deal as computer generated, or animation-computer imaging could be done relatively cheaply.

I also bet it would b-slap Enterprise in the ratings.

One of the important things about the animated series was it allowed them to use scripts that they could never have produced sets for. There was some serious Sci-Fi writing in some of those episodes (as well as some silliness).

After watching the new trailer, I felt something toward Star Trek that I hadn't felt in a very long time:

 SATISFIED and ENTERTAINED!!!!

In short, I really liked it and I hope The Powers That Be sit up and take notice.
