Back in the early 1970s, fans were clamoring for the return of Gene Roddenberry's science fiction universe on the big or small screen. However, before Star Trek flew onto the big screen with feature films, The Animated Series brought the USS Enterprise and company back. Today, shows like Star Trek: Prodigy and Star Trek: Lower Decks reveal audiences are more into the idea than they were 50 years ago. In fact, the series from The Next Generation era that still have stories to tell can turn to adult animation where live action isn't possible. Prodigy is clearly a show for younger kids, though adult Trekkies and Trekkers alike are charmed by it. So much so, a fan campaign inspired Netflix to save the Prodigy series after it was pulled from Paramount+.
