10. The Animated Series

For the first animated series, this is just an altered version of the classic TOS intro put into 1970s animated format. It’s not bad considering the time, and it does look nice. Plus, it includes William Shatner's narration again but with a different musical theme.

Still, one would have expected the animators to spruce it up a bit. The alien worlds could have been fancier, and the USS Enterprise could have been in faster motion. It’s not a bad intro, it just comes off too much as a paste and copy of The Original Series to stand out.
