Star Trek Very Short Treks celebrate its animated entries

And are "anything but canon".

Star Trek Very Short Treks are a series of animated shorts that celebrate the franchise’s animated entries.

Starting this weekend, and for four more weeks after that, the shorts will be available via Star Trek website and the Star Trek YouTube channel.

Here’s what to expect, and when:

  • “Skin a Cat”: 8 September
  • “Holiday Party”: 13 September
  • “Worst Contact”: 20 September
  • “Holograms All the Way Down”: 27 September
  • “Walk, Don’t Run”: 4 October

It’s as yet unclear if the shorts will be easily viewable in Australia; we’re looking into it now.

CBS Studios has advised that the minutes-long shorts — which feature the likes of Jonathan Frakes (Will Riker), Doug Jones (Saru), Armin Shimerman (Quark), Ethan Peck (Spock), Gates McFadden (Beverly Crusher), Celia Rose Gooding (Uhura), Connor Trinneer (Trip Tucker), Bruce Horak (Hemmer), Noël Wells (D’Vana Tendi), and George Takei (Hikaru Sulu) — will be “anything but canon”, so take that as you will.

The shorts are the brainchild of “Too Many Cooks” legend Casper Kelly.
