On Friday July 21st, the Official 50th Star Trek Animated Celebration panel was held at San Diego Comic-Con. Fans received a sneak peek into this year’s salute to the 50th anniversary of Star Trek’s first foray into animation, Start Trek: The Animated Series.
To commemorate this golden anniversary, CBS Studios is creating five all-new animated promotional spots in the style of Start Trek: The Animated Series. These spots feature fan favorite characters voiced by cast members from across the Star Trek universe. These include icons such as Jonathan Frakes as “Will Riker”, Doug Jones as “Saru”, and Armin Shimerman as “Quark”.
Debuting later this year, these all-new animated spots come from Creative Consultant Casper Kelly, best known for the viral smash hit Too Many Cooks, and his work on Star Trek: Short Treks and Adult Swim. Kelly announced the program alongside fellow panelist John Van Citters, Vice President, Star Trek Brand Development.
Casper Kelly will also release a new comic book with IDW Publishing, “Star Trek: The Animated Celebration Presents The Scheimer Barrier”. The comic will debut digitally in September on StarTrek.com, with physical copies available at New York Comic Con in October. IDW revealed two first-look images from the comic during the panel.
Additional announcements from the area of Star Trek publishing were delivered by panelist Heather Antos (IDW Group Editor). The latest gaming news was revealed by Scopley’s Brian Lelas (Lead Narrative Designer, Star Trek Fleet Command) and Rebekah Plants (Community Manager, Star Trek Fleet Command).
