Star Trek: The Animated Series was a 1974 animated science fiction television series set in Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek universe following the events of the live action Star Trek: The Original Series of the 1960's. In 1972, Roddenberry was approached by Filmation Studios about the possibility of creating an animated version of Star Trek for Saturday mornings, The resulting Star Trek: The Animated Series was a joint production of Norway Corporation, Filmation Associates, and Paramount Television. The success of the original series in syndication, as well as fan pressure for a Star Trek revival, led to the animated series from 1973-1974. The next live action reincarnation of the series would not be until 1979 with Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The Animated Series was critically acclaimed and was the first Star Trek series to win the Emmy Award for Outstanding Entertainment - Children's Series in 1975.
A contributing reason why The Animated Series was successful was because it featured most of the original voice cast from the live action series, with the major exception being Pavel Chekov (Walter Koenig) who did not contribute to the series because of budget restrictions. Initially Filmation was only going to cast Captain James Kirk (William Shatner), Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy), Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley), Montgomery Scott (James Doohan), and Nurse Christine Chapel (Majel Barrett); however Nimoy refused to voice Spock unless Lt. Uhura (Nichelle Nicholes) and Sulu (George Takei) were added to the cast. Nimoy felt that those two characters provided ethnic diversity for the 23rd century and so therefore should not be recast. Nimoy was also well aware of the financial troubles of the his many Star Trek co-stars following the cancellation of the live action series.
