In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the tricks of the trade that Filmation animators used throughout the Star Trek animated series to save money or time on animation. Think of it as a mocking appreciation, like the way you’ll give your friends crap for their weird personal habits while realizing that it’s those weird personal habits that make them your friends in the first place. —Ace the Bathound
