"And Let the Heavens Fall" Animated STAR TREK episode, Part 2 of 3

The U.S.S. Enterprise crew comes across a planet with a pre-industrial civilization that seems to be sending radio transmissions into space. While rendering aid to a crippled courier ship in orbit of the planet, Captain Kirk and his senior staff wonder if the two situations are related.
This film entitled "And Let the Heavens Fall" was written, directed, animated and produced by Curt Danhauser and was the first new animated STAR TREK episode to be produced in more than three decades. The last new animated STAR TREK episode featuring Captain Kirk and his crew was produced by Filmation and aired on NBC-TV Saturday morning, October 12, 1974. So then, after almost 34 years, new episodes are being produced. These new episodes are intended to be a direct continuation of the 22-episode animated STAR TREK series produced by Filmation Associates from 1973-1974.

It has to be a high compliment that several commenters here thought these were actual episodes of the Animated Series! The quality is certainly equivalent!

[@chrismaguire3667]

Yes, though the voice acting could be improved, imo. But, in time, the differences should be slight. I wonder if CGI might be used? Just a thought.

[@landline00]

The animation is spot on, but the voices gave it away.

[@stevenewman1393]

There are only 22 episodes of the original Startrek animated series, And I myself have the complete Series on DVD 📀!.

[@christopherbridges7902]

I always loved m'ress she is one awesome cat girl and lieutenant of Starfleet.

[@alexadair5871]

I remember watching this animated show when I was a kid back in the 70's. This was a very adult show, although it was animated. It touched on a lot of topics that were very sensitive. This show was way ahead of it's time.

So is that apostrophe but it gets closer to being correct every year. its*

So, who has a crush on the "Lion Girl''? That voice.

[@paulsarnik8506]

M'ress. A Caitan. Voiced originally by Majel Barret. 🤓😎🖖🏻

[@davidandrews8963]

These are just so cool and I'm 52 now love cartoons specially 60s and 70s 🍀💖😎👌

[@Ron-ep3zl]

Nice work. If not for the voice acting I would have thought this was missing episode from the series.

[@markus5862]

This is good stuff! I’ve always hoped paramount would take the two TOS Star Trek Games (star Trek 25th anniversary and judgment rites) and used the recorded dialogue from that to make animated episodes. There’s tons of material there that could be used with everybody from the cast and there’s like 6 episodes per game? It would be so amazing and a wonderful final goodbye. There’s tons of fans that have probably never played them so it would be new Star Trek for them! This is very well done and I enjoyed it very much. Many thanks

[@stevenewman1393]

🖖😎👍Very cool and just as nicely greatly wonderfully well done as part 1 indeed Sir!👌.

[@lyranwill851]

M'ress by far is the beauty queen of Star Trek.

Don't let them know you are from outer space or have higher technology. Don't be conspicuous. So let's beam down WITH A FREAKING CAT WOMAN IN A MINISKIRT!

I like this new original animated Star Trek episode.

[@Robert08010]

It's very well done. The only thing I don't like is the "Kirk" character always seems to be whispering. He doesn't sound at all like a captain issuing orders. He doesn't need to shout, but he does need to sound like he's in charge.

[@eldergroan]

LOL Spock is versed in Shakespeare, he would have recognized Kirk's reference.

[@stcredzero]

C-Beams off the shoulder of Orion and the CHDannhauser gate!

[@ancapftw9113]

Shouldn't the native have thought they looked weird at best? The humans didn't look like the natives, and they brought a cat-person with them. I doubt there would be any people that look like them on the planet.

[@CadetGriffin]

"Something's rotten in Denmark." "I fail to see how the situation with the courier ship relates to conditions in a small nation within the Nordic region of Earth."

[@ShrekWallBee]

I hate to bring this up but the culture of this planet is mentioned in this episode to be pre-Industeral and to have Sulu,Bones and M'Ress beam down to the planet in there Starfleet uniforms they would have go incognito because that would of raised questions with the halfwit they spoke to while they were on the away mission 2:49 Because that is a violation of the Prime Directive.

[@TomYale]

Is there are reason you're typing all the words in your comment with capital letters as they're proper nouns?

[@ShrekWallBee]

sorry i was working myself though some spychological issues at the time when i did that i just changed all the upper case letters back to lower case thank you for point that out :D

[@TomYale]

I'm glad to hear you're feeling better. Been there, my friend. Before I was diagnosed and treated for schizophrenia I typed every other word backwards and upside down.

[@ESPIRITUS_A]

Requesting Lt. M'Ress at my sleeping quarters ASAP

[@DirtyHairy1]

The voice of "Catalina" (I call her - whats her Show name?) is as unsettling as an alien voice should be.

[@ethelredtheunready7006]

I'm not sure if this is good yet. But it is kind of interesting.....

[@RX552VBK]

Another great story. However, why didn't the inhabitants get freaked out by the landing party body and facial features (especially M'Ress)?

[@CHDanhauser]

Maybe the planet had a thriving cosplay community and mistook our heroes for that lot.

[@lyrankzinti1711]

More scenes of M'ress must be done.

[@mortarmopp3919]

Wow, so many things wrong here: 1) Landing party - Why send a doctor and a helmsman to look for radio transmissions? M'Ress is the only member that makes any sense; then again, why didn't Kirk and Spock go along (following usual ST tradition). Also, since this is a pre-industrial civilization, showing up wearing Star Fleet (the proper form) uniforms and opening using advanced tech is clearly in violation of GO1. 2) Replicators? No such thing existed in that time period.

[@frotz661]

There were a very few brief mentions of replicators in TOS.

[@allenlovell1604]

Why isn't the landing party dressed in native garb ? They standout too much ! Even holographic projections would help camouflage who they really are !

[@jeffthekillercriticremixer5968]

The show looks great could use a few voice actors other than one or two people but a you're on a limited budget I understand I'm impressed with the show . If possible maybe you can add yeoman Rand to upcoming episodes you never got the respect she deserved on the original show

This has a feel of '' Chariots of the Gods ''..or '' Ancient Aliens '' .lol

[@julianbristow4793]

It's not bad, nice job. . I think with some more work it can even be better. The problem is where are you going to find good talent without paying for it. ...... It's too bad the old Filmation cartoon didn't have that many episodes. I thought it was too short....... Those were the days. ......Growing up and watching the Star Trek cartoon on Saturdays on NBC. It's suppose it reminds me of my younger days.

[@balamx2802]

Is that a descendant of Obama working in Engineering with Scotty? This certainly has the Filmation quality down pat.

[@CHDanhauser]

That is Lt. Gabler who appeared in a number of animated STAR TREK episodes.

Folks this episode is a fan made, brand new story, using some of the same images from the 70s filmation series. The voices are different because the original cast never recorded any of these lines.
