For the fiftieth anniversary of Star Trek: The Animated Series, CBS commissioned a series of Very Short Treks, created in the Filmation style of that earlier show, designed to celebrate the history of Star Trek animation. 

The entire run of episodes is available for free on Star Trek's YouTube channel, with each episode of varying quality. While they may have missed the mark when it came to actually celebrating the franchise, the Very Short Treks did show that the style of animation could still be fun when applied to modern stories. They all saw the return of several Star Trek alumni from shows past.

Holograms All The Way Down, written by Aaron Waltke, remains the best of the series, packed full of fun moments for the keen-eared fans.
