The expressions on TAS always make me lose it. Something about the janky 70s cel animation really adds a lot to it.
Someone did up that classic scene from TNG’s Best of Both Worlds in that same style, and it’s just fantastic.
not only are these adaptations amazing, but something notable about the BoBW one is that it loses absolutely nothing of the original scene’s sense of terror and dread.
The original TAS animation style gave an innate sense of silliness to the stories. it couldn’t help but do so. however, in this instance, the writing, direction, and even the TAS-adapted score couldn’t betray the original teleplay— it was both shocking and horrifying. we’d never seen anything like this before on TNG, with only a mere glimpse of it a season before in Q Who. not even the camp of the TAS animation style could dull that edge, and the animators, here, didn’t dare try.
mad respect for honoring the source material.
BTW, they did one for a scene from VOY - Threshold too! https://youtu.be/luEDui2zAUw?si=ozTwN2wF_WCIA3Cr
Amazing, I love it!
That is fantastic!
Wow! I’d never seen that before, what a great translation of the style of TAS to TNG. I really love it when animators use modern tools to revisit old animation styles like that.
Does Spock really have to do that? It’s bad enough when Kirk calls himself a dumbass and a screw-up.
Not pictured: Spock’s back atm
Oh hey, Spock’s bowling uniform came in
