I’ve thought about having a more serious animated series in the franchise, and I think it could work. There would of course be a group of people that wouldn’t watch because it’s not live action, but depending on how they do it the costs could be a fair amount less too.
Now I feel like a really awesome thing would be something like Star Trek: Excelsior as an animated series that focuses on Captain Sulu after Generations.
I mean, Patrick Stewart did Picard in his 80s, and Takei’s only 3 years older than Stewart. However, Takei would probably be well into his 90s by the time this hypothetical series went into production; you’d also probably have to audition an understudy from the start in case Takei kicked the bucket.
